David Belasco, manager OF Mrs. Leslie
Carter. Miss Blanche Bates and David
Warfield and proprietor of the Belasco
Theater of New York city. asserts that the
members of the theatrical syndicate, en-
vious of his success, are attacking him at
every opportunity. His enemies instigated
the suit brought against him by Jean
Richepin, in which the Partisan dramatist
alleges that Belasco stole his play of 'Du
Barry" and these wicked persons are now
backing Onoto Watanna (Mrs. Bertram
Babcock) in her charge that from one of
her tales of Japan Mr.. Belasco surrep-
ttiously took the material for the play

presented at the Belasco Theater on
Wednesday evening by Miss Bates and her
company, and of which the announced
authors are David Belasco and John Luther
Long.
Mr. Belasco has determined to defend
himself extensively and has brought suit
against Mrs. Babcock for $40 900. alleging
malicious libel, and obtained an order for
her arrest Justice Fitzgerald fixed bail

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.
BY MAY MANTON

Theater waists made elaborate with lace
are in the height of style and are worn
both with skirts to match and those of
contrasting material. The very stylish and
charming design illustrated is shown in
rose-colored crepe de chine, with trimming
of Venetian lace, but suits many materials
and combinations. Albatross yelling, wool
crepe de chine, crepe sole and silk are
all appropriate and can be combined with
lowered silk in place of the lace. or made
entirely of the material with an applied
edge of lace or embroidery. The original
