A Parisfan Novelty

Here is the very latest novelty and of
course it comes from Paris.
Press a little jewelled knob on the
side of the new Partisan punsebag. and
open flies a little shutter less than the
size Of penny. and brilliant rays OF
electric light will be shed abroad.
The Parisienne loves to display this
novelty Whenever she sets out to
make calls always goes with her the
dainty little handkerchief bag of suede.
crocodile skin, or, what strikes the
last note of fashion, the skin of the
java lizard, to illuminate her on her
way up a staircase perhaps none too
well lighted, for Paris is the land OF
flats By its aid also does the caller
sort out her visiting cards, scribble
notes TO friends, etc

Two Fashion Tins

Just a CLINT OF silver or gold on
black or white gown makes all the diff
ference in the world, transferring a
dull looking gown into bright smart
one. These bands of spangled net, gold
and silver or steel, with jet, are now to
be found among the marked down REM
nants and are wonderfully cheap. jet is
much in favor now that it also can be
used to make marvellous transforma-
tions in the old black or white gowns
that have lost their first freshness. so
that often the made over gown is the
smartest in the entire wardrobe.
E'lowered silks and brocades are be-
coming much more fashionable. They
should be made up without much trim
ming-fan- shaped pleats let into the
skirt around the foot, lace on the waist
iii bertha or revers, and the gown needs
nothing else. OF course, the more ex-
pensive. indeed the most expensive. bro
cades are on the handsomest, but agair
there are bargains to be found among
the silks that are OF last years de-
signs.

LECTURED ON THE STAGE
AND SOME OF ITS FOLK
Interesting Talk Given b,
Mrs. Gibson in New Lv-
ceum Theatre

The lecture given this morning at
the Lyeeum Theatre on the stage and
and its people by Mrs Idah McGlone
Gibson was unique in conception and
delivery, and showed conclusively that
the speaker was well versed in her sub
ject. Mrs. Gibson gave few statistics
to number the standing armyo theatre
goers, and a glimpse of dramatic his
tory, showing the stage to the child
of the church. She also gave some very
good reasons fr calling the drama the
greatest in its art. Mrs. Gibson does
not believe that all plays have a good
influence upon the times and the peo-
pie, and she gave illustrations why
these plays are bad. both morally ana
artstically, using "Zaza" and "Saphoe
as her theme But said tine speak
er, while you find TWO bad plays, you
will find two hundred which incucat5
lessons Of honesty virtue. merit and
great worth. THE Prisoner of Zenda"
was spoken Of as teaching 4 most beau
tiful lesson, as was also "Cyrano de
Bergerac, THE Bachelors Romance
The Poor Relation" Mary of Mag
dala.' and a number Of other plays.
A very pathetic story was told
OF the influence Of "Cyrano de
Bergerac" upon little gamin in New
York who gathered from the story that
its what you do and not how you look
that counts. Booth, Modjeska, Neither
sole, jefferson, Sol Smith Russell, Annie
Russell, Ellen Terry. William Collier,
Mrs F'iske and others were made again
ito STRUT their brief hour upon the
stage" for the delectation OF Mrs
Gibsons audience.
In speaking OF the plays which have
lived Mrs. Gibson called attention to
East Lynne. which will he seen at
the Lyceum next Monday. She said
the reason that East Lynne" had all
ways been so popular is because of its
great appeal to the sympathy Of the
human heart. and that it always placed
that sympathy properly. OF Miss Re
becca Warren who will play Lady lsa
belle in East lynne Mrs Gibson
was especially enthusiastic. She called
her an actress OF analytical mind and
artistic temperament
At the end OF her talk dainty book
lets containing quotations from famous
writers on the art OF the actor and por-
traits Of Miss Warren in the different
characters She has played, were given
TO the audience This lecture of Mrs.
GibsOn's was one of the treats OF the
eaason and those who missed II missed
a most interesting hour.

fitting effect, and looks far better in
coats than waists. For the moment
the short jackets are again in favor. the
Elton effect at the back, and with square
or rounded points, or in loose sack coat
effect. Much trimming is in favor.
Bias bands of silk, satin or cloth, black
and white. or plain black braid, gilt
silver or jet buttons and lace and en-
broidered collars are all fashionable
and effective, while in sharp contrast
are the gowns trimmed only with bias
bands OF the mohair, and with satin
facings of the same color ON the coat.
Gray and tan mohairs are among the
new styles for the coming season. and
the gray trimmed with white, black and
white, or black and silver braid are ex-
tremely attractive and are most elabor-
ately braided, SO that they look as
though made of far more expensive
material than mohair, Of which, by the
way, there are many different prices.
