THIRD AVENUE THEATER.

Unlocked for complications fire..
quently arise when people fred

congenial partner through the
medium of the matrimonial papers.
This is what happens in the case
of "The Real Widow Brown" a
clean, farcial play bubbling over
with jollity, which will be seen at
the Third Avenue Theatre next
week. In most plays the char
acters are made to bring about
situations which are strained and
unnatural, but in Mr.. A. @. Scam
mons latest bid for public recog-
milton old lines have been ignored.
The real widow is impersonated
by all audacious young man while
another gay young man makes
up" an assumes to be an old
deacon who believes he has found
his affinity through the ''Matrimo-
NAL Times, and with whom he
has been in correspondence. The
mistaken identities furnish excel
lent opportunities for fun and
mnPrimant The cituotiOno on1
climaxes are irresistibly funny,
and the combined efforts of a.
clever company of farceurs to
amuse and create a vast deal of
laughter is crowned with success.
The music is bright and up to date,
the costumes artistic, and the sing
ing and dancing speciaities un-
commonly good.

If you would be in the vanguard
you must cover yourself with spots
all sizes and all colors are permissible,
so long as the spots are round and Of
contrasting color to the background
over which they are strewn. silk,
wool and cotton dress materials rib
bons, parasol covers, hosiery, sashes,
waistcoats and even lingerie, are all
scattered with polka dots in every
size, from tiny spots no larger than
the head Of a pin to great splashes as
large as a silver quarter. Tailor gowns
are finished with detachable collars
and revers Of pique polka dotted with
dots as large as pea, or with dotted
waistcoats. Dotted muslin, lingerie,
fleecy and cool-looking as newly fallen
snow fluffs about trim ankles covered
with polka dots. Wells faxed with
dots of all sizes strain the eyes, but
are as coquettishly becoming as old
time beauty spots, and entire gowns
of dotted foulard, MULE or cloth prove
wonderfully smart on young and old.

One of the Latest Fads.

Among the latest fads is the collect
ing Of crystal balls, Miss Helen
Gould is a student Of crystals and has
a very beautiful one. 1t is unusually
large and free from blemishes, Miss
Gould has it in the centre of a much
darkened room which is lighted from
the top. Many fine bits Of crystal
have been found in California and
made by machinery into beautiful
spheres. The work Is so skilfully done
that it battles the experts to tell them
from those nodded and polished by
hand. A large exhibit of these Ameri-
can productions was sent to the Paris
Exposition. Naturally, these crystals
are not nearly as expensive as the
Oriental examples, which bring fabu-
Ious prices. At a sale recently held,
in London, an American woman out
bid the Prince of Wales and paid $4,000
for rather a small crystal, but one
that was quite perfect. 1t had been

favorite pursuit of her distinguished
husband
When the Harvard University annex
for women was established, Mrs. Agas-
siz became its president. 1t was large
ly due to her efforts that the govern
ing board of the university made this
addition to its educational work.
Later, when the annex became Rad
cliffe College, Mrs. Agassiz remained
its president, and every graduate has
received her diploma from the hands
Of Mrs. Agasslz. Last year she re-
signed the presidency Of the college,
when she was at once made honorary
president, although she was relieved
of the active work that her advanced
years made it impossible for her to
continue. Miss Agnes Irwin, as dean
Of the college, has charge Of the work,
which is stll very much under the
direction of Mrs. Agassiz, and her In
nuence is felt quite as much as when
she was the active president.-Phila-
