right side leaving the back breadth to
ifalI naturally and not too tight Red
will be much worn as the months go
on.
There is a great diversity of choice in
| outdoor garments. The short close
fitting velvet Jacket with round
| basque at the back is charming STYLE
which commends itself to slim figures.
The three-quarters length opera cloaks
/ have ample sleeves, and the Oriental
brocade silk and wool in well-covering
designs, and rich brocaded Innings of
(which they are composed, are good
! foundations for fur.
The delicate filet and kindred en-
broidery finds a place on glaee gowns.
The beauty of the Marie Antoinette
style in evening dress is shown in the
deep-falling berthe of lace and the
straight, pointed bodices. The long,
narrow muffs with the frills at either
end, rows of black velvet keeping the
fitness of the material in place, date
! from the same period. Button roses
peep out here and there; velvet, tulle
and crepe de chine are all employed for
these very graceful additions to
toilette
The medieval modes assert them
selves in new make of supple metal
waistband and buckle, all alike formed
of squares of plated gold, one hinged
into the other.
The new silks show a decided change
such as crystalline, with its fine or
coarser weaving and most brilliant
sheen, and the armure cords in black
and many colors, some having a. small
Ifloret thrown on similar backgrounds.
For trimmings on opera cloaks nothing
could be richer looking than the shot
chine with a black stamped velvet pat
| tern on the surface

The announcement that George Gros-

another extended tour during the COM
ing winter and spring months, takes
great prominence in the entertainment
plans of the coming season. Manager
L. H. Mudgett of Symphony Hall, Bos-
ton, will direct the tour of Mr.. Gros-
smith, which will fill the months of
February, March and April, 1902. Mr.
Grossmith holds a most unique place
in the stage world of today and it
would be difficult to name his peer in
the entertainment field. His rare gift
as a musician, composer and pianist,
his marvellous success as a raconteur,
his skill in the art of pantomime and
mimicry, his keen dramatic instinct
his fine sense of humOr and his Won
derful personality enable him to fill
an evening in the most delightful fash
ion. Mr.. GrOssmith is preparing a num-
Der of new sketches for his coming
American tour.
