Mention of this incident is a reminder
that Mr.. Roosevelt is the only man of let
ters who has been President since Madison
went out of office, in 1917. Even Madison is
hardly to be reckoned a man of letters, in
the accepted sense of the term. His writ
ings were of political polemics, pure and
simple. and, therefore, Notwithstanding

sense of the term. Mr. Roosevelt, on the
contrary, has written scarcely at all upon
political things. while his purely literary
and his topical works rank among the
most important of those that have appeared
in print in this generation. Only the excel
lence of his public service could reconcile
us to the loss of so gifted an author to au-
thorship. And perhaps We have not lost
MIN, after all. Who knows? He is still less
than forty-four years of age. If he is
elected a second term, in 1904 he will be
man very little beyond fifty when ne shall
finally leave public life, and a man so ro-
bust as he is in mind and body, man so
strenuous in all his intellectual activities,
should be at his very best for literary work
at that age. He will be equipped. too. no
writer in country has ever been, with
an Astounding knowledge Of affairs and con-
ditions with varied and ripe experience
and with an unusually broadened human
sympathy. If his superb health holds out
to the end of his public life, there is every
reason to expect that the succeeding years
will give US literary and historical work at
his hands even better and more important
than any that has gone before.

ART OF DRESSING A PLAY
ACCURACY NECESSARY ONLY WITH
IN LIMITATIONS.
Only Specialists Likely to Discern
Minor ErrOrs-Harmony Demand
ed in Color Schemes.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
Many a play has suffered greatly through
poor staging and dressing. 1t is not enough
that the scenery and dressing OF each act
be historically correct, for il is considered
almost as great a mistake to introduce any
thing that, while true 10 the times, will
offend the taste or excite the laughter of
an audience as it is TO introduce anything
that is obviously incorrect II. for in
stance. in a play of the time OF George III
the female characters wore such marvellous
hoops as the women OF that time really
wore the effect would be spoiled because
the costume would appeal too strongly to
the sense of the ludicrous- But play
must be produced so that errors are not
noticeable.
Absolute correctness, in an historical
sense is often obtained by reference TO
picture. Thus the mounting OF the bed
room scene in Mary Anderson's production
of Romeo and Juliet was copied from
picture by Carpaccio. The bed, tables.
walls, windows, and, in fact, the whole fur
nishing of the room was copied wholly.
Yet even in that case there were modifica-
tions necessary, because some features
might have distracted the attention of the
audience from the play itself.
The greatest consideration. and the one
that causes most trouble, is the color
scheme. 1t is an axiom that a low-toned
background requires the costumes OF the
people in front OF il TO be garish and
bright If the best effect is to be obtained.
while scene in which the actors wear
gray, or steel blue, viii require a more or
less vivid background. IL follows, then,
that the stage dresser must be in collab
Grafton with the artists who prepare the
scenery. IL the costume of the prima donna
happens to be silver gray il would be
mistake TO have that color occurring TO
any appreciate extent in the background.
Generally the rule upon which this matter
is adjusted is this-that the dresses are
designed to bring out the natural charms
and beauties of the actor or actress. and
the scenery takes the cite from the dresses.
Thus the costume Of the leading character
in a well-mounted scene will give the key
note Of color to the whole scene.
