STARS DRESSING TABLES
Two Leading Lights of the Stage I'm
port Luxurious Bureaus.

Last autumn a couple of remarkably
beautiful tables came over from Paris,
the purchases of two of the most pow
erful young stars in the dramatic fir
mament. These tables had been exhib-
tied at the French exposition and won
prizes, and on their arrival in the
states they were sent Immediately to
the theatres in New York where their
owners were to open the season. As
both ladies expected to enjoy large runs
they had been at great pains to add all
sorts Of pretty comforts to their theatre
dressing rooms, but their tables Were
little masterpieces. Both of them are
of French design of the most expensive
wood and decorated literally with gold
bronze in exquisite pattern. One is
kidney-shaped, decorated with Vatican
designs. supplied with drawers and re-
cesses of varying sizes, lined with suede
porcelain, glass or velvet. as the need
may be, to deposit pOmade, jewels, sill
yer articles, etc, in them, and the lights
are SO arranged that electrical cOnnec-
lions can be made not only beside and
