False Faces.

Thanksgiving time is the busiest sea-
son for the manufacturers of and dealers
in masks and false faces. The fantas-
teal costume parades and the old Gus
tom of masking and dressing for amuse-
ment on Thanksgiving day keep up from
year to year in many parts of the coun-
try, so that the quantity of false faces
sold at this season is enormous. The
manufacturers make it point to get up
new styles, and this year brownies, "yal-
Ter kids" parrot visages and many other
novelties will be on sale. Masks of prm-
inent men and the foremost political lead
ers are made by some manufacturers,
and large sized false hands, noses, ears,
ETC., are also new and amusing.-Se-

Agatha's arrangements were completed
In the oven turkey was browning, veg.

resolutely turned away from her watch,

"Best-Dressed" in Society.
rom the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Mrs. Langtry Is an authority on the sub
ject of dress as 1t pertains to society. ii
has been said. In fact, about all that saved
her play, THE Crossways,' which she is
now presenting on tour, was the display of
the modiste's art, which is declared to be
simply astounding. However that may be.
the English woman recently unburdened
her mind Of the following:
Surprising as 1t may seem, the women
who are best dressed are not the women
who are most conspicuous in society. One
finds better dressing in places that are not
so very smart socially than In New York.
Women in large cities are too much occu-
pied with other things to devote to the
question of dress the amount of time nee
essary to excel in it,
Il might as we'll say that the real ladies
of society who are constantly in the eyes
of the public are not by any means the
best dressed women. Others with not SO
much money to spend but with more time
to devote to dress, may be in much more
accord with the standard of dressing in the
best sense. Women whose time is taken up
by society to the exclusion of nearly ev-
erything else come to acquire a contempt
for clothes. The gowns must be changed
SO many times a day that dressing be-
comes anything but a pleasure.

managers to suppose he could make good.

Gillette had serious curtain-raiser to

and teered them jubilantly. The comedian
sobered up and demanded part just for
the fun OF the thing, and to him Mr. GIL
lette owes what was not humiliating failure
in his initial bow before the public Nobody
knew a line that Gillette had written when
1t came time to deliver the play, and Gil

shouting and falling and making outrageous
faces, and bringing down roars of grating
laughter from the galleries, and had three
