straightway saw the Veronese street

were those who had no Imagination,

their patronage scenes had to be
painted for them. One would not like

that and the real coronation robe of

Sometimes a girl loses her chance at

So the young actress, unless she has
some little means, aside from salary a
father and mother to visit through the
idle months and so exc that salary out
is bound to be tormented by the ques-
tiOn of clothes-for she is human and
wants to look as we'll as those about
her. and besides she knows the stage
manager is not likely to seek out the
poorest dresser for advancement, when
an opening occurs.
Recently some actresses. whose ac-
knowledged ability as artists should, L
think, have lifted them above such dis
play, allowed their very charming pic
lures to appear in a public print, with
these headings: Miss B in her $500

prices Of their clothes were good vvo-

would be deeply panied if any acts of
theirs should fill some sisters heart

mistaken belief that the fine dresses

In old times of costume plays the
manager furnished most of the ward
robe for the men (ohi lucky men!),
! who provided but their own tights and
shOes-and judging from the extreme
beauty and richness Of the costumes of
the New York plays of today and the
fact that lady of exquisite taste de-
signs wholesale, as one might say, all
the dresses for production after pro-
duction, it would seem that the man
agement must share the heavy eX-
penses of such cOstuming, or else the
salaries are very much higher than
they were a few years ago. In France
the stage no doubt partly fills the place
/ of the departed court, in presenting
new fashions to the public eye, and
doing it with the graceful aplOmb that
has carried many a doubtful innovation
on to sure success. Those beautiful
and trained artists take pleasure in
first presenting the style other women
are to fOllOW-and yet they share the

and applying them to a plain silk or
even to a cheaper background, and
then picking out the high lights with
embroidered silk, the effect being not
only beautiful but rich. All these make
believes We're necessary then, on $50
or S35 a week salary-fOr a leading lady
drew no more.
But times are changed-stage light
ing is better, stronger. The opera glass
is almost universally used, receptions
would be more easily discovered; and
more, OH so much more is expected
from the actress of today Formerly
she was required first of all to sink her
own Individuality in that of the woman
she pretended to be; and next, if it was
a dramatized novel she was acting in,
she was to make herself to look as
nearly like the described heroine as
possible; otherwise she had simply to
make herself as pretty as she knew
how. in her own way-that was all. But
now the actresses of a great city are
supposed to set the fashions for the
coming season They almost literally
dress in the style of tomorrow; thus
the cut of clothes becomes harmful to
the actress Precious time that should
be given to the minute study, the final
polishing Of a difficult character, is used
instead in deciding on the pitch of a
skirt, the width of n collar. or upon
sleeve, strap or no sleeve at all.
Some ladies of my acquaintance who
had been to the theatre three times,
avowedly TO study as models the cos
tunes. when questioned as to the play,
looked at one another and then answer
ed vaguely: THE performance Oh,
nothing rema~kablei It was fair enough
but the dresses, They are really be-
yond anything in town. and must have
cost mint of money" So we have got
around to the opposite of the Old-t time
aim-when the answer might possibly
have been: THE acting was beyond
anything in town. The dresses? Oh.
nothing remarkable. Oh. well. fair
enough" I have often been told by
famous women of the past that the
beautiful Mrs. Russell, then of Wal
lacks theatre. was the originator in
this country of richly elegant realism in
stage cOStuming: when il was known
that the mere Innings of her gowns
cost more than the outside of others
dresses: that all her velvet was silk
velvet; all her lace to the last inch was
real lace; that no wired or spliced

would lack, too, the heart for such an en-
terprise. According to our lights we are
the servants of truth. But according to
our lights merely. We entertain an idea,
poor indeed, and for that matter perhaps
not entirely our own, that truth should
be charming or else withheld.
The reason is simple. When truth does
not please 1t prOvOkes. In certain condi-
lions IL can be very vicious. 1t bites. Men

Without it, society would crumble, art

Take the lie from life and you take the

hand while you are at it. for you take
fables and fictions, you take glitter from
