IN A sort of yelled way johnson was
the butt of the ''By Force of Arms"
company. Why Crandall had taken
him on was a question concerning
which that reticent person offered no
information, but it was generally con-
ceded--with possible exception
that as the new member showed very
little talent as an actor, the nearly
ended season and the minor part to
be filed accounted for it.
The leading man treated him with
lofty condensation; the soubrette
poked open fun at his staid ways and
labored efforts in acquiring the "busi-
ness" of his part, and Ransom, the
comedian, remarked facetiously one
afternoon after johnson had failed
twice to respond to cues: "That fell

understudy; he could do the 20 years

DICTATES OF FASHION.
Latest Items ON WOman's Dress for
the Summer Days-A Stun.
y ming Wrap.

A pale fawn cashmere has the bod
ice laced across with pale blue rib
bon and the white fchu fastened
with a bunch of forget-me-nots, says
the Chicago Daily News,
For summer sensation we are
promised muslin gowns painted in
fresco, modern art style" Soft
pastel shades are used in these paint
ings and metallic tints, recalling the
pottery de Juan.
Hemstitching has by no means
worn it's welcome out. A number OF
brides have ordered their lingerie
trimmed only with the sheerest hem
stitched fr1lls and the new driving
veil is made of very crisp. clear silk
muslin with a deep hemstitched
border.
Summer toilets show one feature
of unanimity and that is in respect to
the tounce. This is arranged to drop
low in front, even if it rises at the
sides so as to be high in the back.
The drop in front helps to preserve
the fiction that all women are tall.
The shaped founce is extremely pop
ular this spring. 1t is often quite
deep in the back and tapers away to
extreme narrowness at the sides OF
the front gore. The flounce rarely
crosses the front panel of the skirt.
Dame Fashions latest cry is dress
and coat trimming made OF ordinary
Irvine, not the lacelille macrame OF
former days, but rough kitchen string
netted or knotted. This new garni-
ture is frequently studded with gems
and is consequently made as costly
as any delicate silk or embroidered
passementerie. A mixture of quite
common garniture with expensive
furnishings has now captured the
tickle fancy of the Parisienne for
time. Expensive simplicity is the
password of the season and the
knowledge that only the initiated APP
preciate it at it's full value adds to
it's charm.
One of the most stunning things in
wraps that have been seen is OF white
cloth, heavy and long. 1t encircles
the figure and has one end, which is
thrown over the shoulder. Being
heavy, the wrap hangs beautifully,
but the most attractive part of the
garment, or the noticeable feature
which makes it attractive, is sort
of Indian decoration on the inside; it
suggests Immediately Indian work.
There is a band of pale blue on the
edge encircling the wrap and also OF
cloth: combined with this is line
of bright yellow and one of black. In
the corners of the wrap the cloth in
the colors is carried into sharp points
or rays.
