the shops, but here is homemade
one: Use lowered muslin over silT5-
pink or blue. Lay deep yoke in mod
crate width tucks, set close together,
running straight across the back, but
diagona!ly in front. From the edge of
the yoke let the muslin fall in accor-

to fancy.
A pretty yoke and stock for light
silk gown is of ruf1ed tulle, the ruff
fles being so tiny as to look almost
like simple shirring. Over both are
set small pearl beads, as close to-
gether as desired. A fold or twist OF
satin may be used at the top of the
stock and at the lower edge of the
yoke.

White gowns without touch of
color are immensely popular. They
are gorgeously voluminous. Indeed,
they appear to be mass of feathery
fiutters in their lacy and transparent
pillows of fabric.
Some of these white gowns seem to
be an artistic combination of entire

conspicuous failure is the ribbon bow
made of many loops, and ingeniously
tied in the center.

During the last American tour Of Irv-

II was attributed sometimes TO one

sertion.
The lady herself talked about re-

! tie country place at Winchesea so very
much that sometimes she felt that all
| the stage successes in the world were
as nothing TO the peace and quiet that
| she could have there among the honey
| suckle vines and rose bushes.
She believed too. she would say, that
she was too old for certain parts, Dear
| Sir Henry, for whom she would do any
| thing, needed a younger woman.
Ellen Terry herself set to work to
find him one.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Rumor asserted this positively one
evening when she went TO see Edward
cothern's production of IF | Were
King"
Ellen Terry, alert, attentive, enthusi-
astic, sat in a stage box.
She praised everything, from Cissy
LOTUS, the leading lady 10 the hum
blest supe. Some of the American crit
les had found fault with Miss Lotus.
But the great English actress declared
that she was perfect. She declared that
when she retired for much needed
rest, Ceceila LOTUS must take her
place at Sir Henrys side.
Finally, 1t was decided that she was
to play Marguerite in the revival Of
Faust"
On the steamer Minneapolis, sailing
on March 22, were Sir Henry Irving his
old leading lady and his new one.
Miss Terry said she could not talk
of her future.
Sir Henry said The rumor that
Miss Terry will retire was started
without the slightest foundation"
Miss LOTUS was enthusiastic about
her position.
So the company sailed, leaving behind
the distinct impression that Miss Lof-
tus was really 10 relieve Miss Terry

The arrangement sounded all around
like the most amicable IN the world.

till after the revival OF Faust" did
the rumors begin TO take an uglier
shape.
Contrary to expectations Faust"
proved n failure.
Meanwhile Miss Terry was helping TO
celebrate Shakespeare's birthday at
stratford-on-Avon as Queen Rather
Inc to Mr.. F. r. Benson's Wolsey.
Never, said the critics, had she acted
better.
II began 10 look as though she had
given up all idea OF retiring to quiet
Winohesea and the odorous beauty OF
honeysuckle vines The decision was
"r'''suded with enthusiasm. II was
understood that on her return TO Lon
aoA she would rejoin ''The Master" at

triumph.
