ANTI-AGUE cures Chills and Fever,

1t was a very unpretentious thcater, quite
outside the amusement center proper, ana
visits from newspaper men were evidently
a novelty in the dim grotto back Of It's pros
Cenium. Benny" and the artist created
stir from the first. The hero posed, the
iugenue carefully indicated the best work
of each member of the company, and the
villain came within an inch of being fined
for holding the great fire scene.
When the curtain was finally down upon
the fifth act Of this stilted, old-faShioned
melodrama the leading lady insisted that
they come into her dreary little dressing
room for a chat; for, above all mortals, she
liked newspaper men, did the leading lady.
Some Of her very dear friends were re-
porters and editors. And the advertising
ah, it was hard for one to get on in the pro-
fession without that, they might depend.
Would they draw her in the first-act gown?
Or in the red street dress? She could change
in an instant. II would be no trouble at all
a pleasure. rather.
Would She tell story? HIM. That was
another matter. Theatrical life was much
like any other eXistence-a workaday sort
Of grind after the novelty had worn Off.
Still, once in season one happened upon
something out Of the ordinary. She would
consider.
The artist sEetched the detail of her wig
and caught the shadows under her painted
eyes. while Benny made an inventory of
the makeup shelf.
Story, my, but it must be a pleasant life,
this going about in search of stories. No
stage manager, no fines, no wretched hotels,
no trains at weird hours in the morning,
Oh, yes, she supposed every one had some
one else over them in authority-some one
who gave orders and baked ones aims and
preferences That was the way of the
world, of course. Still, She had looked upon
newspaper men as free lances who came
and went at will, you know, accountable
only to the public.
She had a story, now that she came to
think of it-a story that went back to her
second season on the road. They might
guess the date. She had been one of the
humblest members of an opera company; a
great opera company, with song birds of
transatlantic fame aud salary on its roster.
For she had sung in opera and done many
. things besides to arrive at even this stage
of her profession.
They were running over the Kansas pratt
les one bowling winter night, bound for
Denver in car of their own. 1t may have
been sleeplessness, or curiosity, or mere
love of having the view to herself that drew
her to the rear door. She had wrapped her
self in a warm cloak and stood peering out
into the white, screaming waste beyond the
signal lights when a figure came into her
field of vision-a figure that presently re-
solved itself into man, crouched down on
the car steps.
Almost instinctively she opened the door
and admitted him, quite without thinking
a shiycring wretch, in a ridiculously thin
coat with nothing on his feet but a pair
of oyershoes. Overcoat? Heavens! He had

Art in dressmaking has once more aSsoc'-
Ated itself with dramatic art In the new SUI
cess.at the Porte Saint-Martin, nameIS' La
Pompadour," by Emile Bergerat.
The author has set before the pubic thls
parsonage, so prominent in history by her
grace, and Redfern has succeeded IN eA-
pressing the psychology of the famous cour-
tesanis character by costumes when con
tribute to throw her personality INTO reLeI,
Nine. Jane Hadng, with her great ana
versatile talent. has endeavored above ALL
to make her part faithful reproduction of
history; Redfern has completed her revival
by reproducing with equal ndeuIy lbe COS
times OF the period. r
His work has been that of an artist. Ihe
soft sttenuated shades reproduced by Wat
fAau and Boucher the designs of the ca
pricious rocatlle materials and the form OF
the garments, everything is scrupulously re-
produced, and worthy of the royal surround
fngs in which La Pompadour" reigned.
On a near inspection these costumes are
marked by unheard-of richness and luxury
ofdttaiis They are, in fact, everything that
the famous marquise could have wished.
1t Is evident that, great coquette as she
was. she would selert sensational dresses
out Of the beaten track; moreover, woman
is always a woman and coquette, especially
when she is seeking to please, captivate and
keep the man whom she loves, 1t is that slue
of her character from which Redfern has
drawn his inspiration for his marvellous
creations. As Nine. Hading throws herself
into her part, he has put himself in the
place of the dressmaker of the fascinating
eourtesan, studying and directing her ca
prices and her artistic tastes, for this is
one Of the qualities which have greatly con
tributed to guide him in his search for the
elegant.
Although these fascinating toilets are
Inspired by documents Of the period, and
their reproductions as skilful and perfect as
faithful, they seem very much in harmony
with the taste Of the present day, and very
few changes would be required to transform
them and bring them up to date.
Is not modern fashion akin to the time Of
Louis XIV. in regard to the bust? Suppress
the panier and the voluminous aspect Of the
bust. and it is easy to obtain a twentieth
century outline. Does not the straight corset
show the harmony Of line OF the corsages Of
today? Have not the pretty, graceful
sleeves been already frequently interpreted
many times?
BY all this one sees what influence the
evocation Of a century of supreme elegance
may have on the present age, so keen and
SO eager for luxury. The stage has for some
years past exercised an unquestionable in
nuence on fashion. NJ. Emile Bergerat's play
may well resuseitate all those graces, so
purely French, which inspired the master
pieces Of the Bouchers, Van Loos and La
Tours of the eighteenth century,
The soirees in Louis XIV. costume which
several women of fashion gave last season
will assuredly be all the rage this winter.
The style will be the "dernier cri." And
who is there that will not be ready to re-
produce all the marvels worn so gracefully
by Nine. Jane Hading?

Description
Of Dresses.

On this page is represented the splendid
court dress made for Nine. Jane Hadiug to
wear in her famous presentation to the
Queen. In a background representing the
royal apartments a Versailles the splcndor
of this magnificent creation will be dis
played. 1t is of such weight that it will re
quire all the natural grace of Nine. Hading
to carry it about upon her The skirt alone
reaches the respectable weight Of IA kilo-
grammes. 1t must be admitted that these
ceremonial costumes contributed to the frigld
and stiff aspect Of the leading figures Of tie
period, and were in harmony with the etI-
quette imposed by the court.
This costume is composed of a ground Of
white damask, striped with silver aud en-
tirely covered with designs embroidered in
gold and application of gold gauze. 1t is
trimmed with ruches of gold lace, in which
are garlands of pink muslin roses.
The court mantle is Of ivory panne, edged
and lined with ermine and entirely covered
with lozenges made of strass spangles. All
along the train, which is carried by four
pages, are bouquets of muslin roses with

Herewith is also reproduced the beautiful
indoor dress copied from that in which the
famous Marquise appears in La Tours iE'

brocadcd with designs of baskets of flowers
and garlands. The pale pink lining har-
monies charmingy with the dress; the
sleeves are a masterpiece of grace, and the
front of the corsage, with its pink bows
mixed with soft lace, contributes to the per-
fection Of the general effect.
There is also shown the costume in which
Nine. de Pompadour appears foy the first
time upon the stage 1t is on Shroye Tues

indiscretions Of the masquerS, she has

shade of old coral pink, very tender in color
and setting of to its full extent the dress of
gray brocade beneath. The hood is edged
with a garland Of pompOn roses. which forms
a most delightful aureole around the face.

The BOY And The RULE

Once upon time the oldest boy in the
school continued to misbehave himself. not
ment. Then the teacher, who was much
smaller than his disobedient pupil, deter
mined that his repeated threat should be
put into execution.
Bring me that two-foot rule from my
desk" he said to the boy" and l will teach
YOU to be more obedient."
The boy did as directed, and the teacher
preceded to chastise him severely.
Then the pupil turned iercely on his
teacher, dissrmed him, and with the same
weapon beat him most numerically.
Moral: It is a poor rule that does not
work both ways.
