costumes for the revival of the play.
Marie Antoinette. are gorgeous A
certain paper says:
The most magnificent gown of the
outfit is the one worn in the scene at
Versailles. 1t is made with an over
dress of rose MORE shot with silver
and embroidered with knots in silver
thread. The lining, which shows
when the train is lifted. is of silver
cloth. The lace-trimmed sleeves are
elbow length, while the open V-shap-
ed neck is draped with a lace fichu.
The underdress of white satin is mag
nificently decorated with lace and
jeweled embroidery. 1t is safe TO say
that Alexandra herself will not be more
magnifcently arrayed at her eoro-
nation.
For a pretty scene in the park at
the Trianon there is striped white
gauze gown over blue silk, with a
headdress of rose-colored MORE sur
mounted by a cluster of white plumes
clasped by a diamond buckle The
chapeau is patterned after that worn
in the lie Brun portrait of Marie An

when she comes TO put her little son
to sleep the queen wears a striped
gown of blue gauze with a vatican
plat slightly distended by hoops. Over
her powdered hair. interlaced with
strands of pearl. silken scarf is
draped. In the last act she appears
ir a riding habit, masterpiece of
gorgeousness. for it is made of violet
velvet over petticoat of gray striped
satin. Elbow sleeves pieeed out by
famboyant undersleeves of white
come to the wrist Owed the should

of the other female characters in the
play are said to be almost as magni-
ficent
