A Misft Party.
What To Ea

What to Eat.
The lenten season is bringing something
besides its crop of cooking classes. and that
is the round Of carnival parties.
A very amusing one was given by Francis
Walker, the baritone, at his beautiful studio
on Sixty-seventh street.
1t was called misfit party, and the fun
consisted in having everyone wear incon-
gruous garments of some fashion One lady
appeared with dress coat over a white
muslin evening bodice, another wore a very
elaborate decollette waist with a golf skirt
and rubbers; third wore a nurses cap.
apron and cuffs, with jetted evening gown.
The men as rule wore sweaters and swal-
low-tailed coats while one genius had knick-
erbockers, golf stockings and a frock coat,
a combination that could not be beaten
The idea was excelleEtly carried out even
the programme being on the same princf-
pie. A duet sung by a very tall
prano and very short basso, a sentimental
poem was recited TO comic music and for
the encore a comic poem was given TO senti-
mental music, the only thing that was not
a misfit was supper: while the punch was
served in ice pitchers, the salads in Jardi-
nieres, and the sandwiches were turned In
side out everything was OF such excellent
quality that after il was eaten the supper
was voted failure as a misft.

RurJesoue Mt the Empire.

Louis Robie, owner of Robes Knicker-
booker Burlesquers, which opened a weeks
engagement at the Empire Theater yester-
day afternoon, is one of the original bur-
lesque managers of the country and one
who believes in giving the theater-going
public "a run for its money" His COM
pany this season is the largest that has
appeared at the Empire and it is very well
balanced. The show opens with satirical
comedy entitled "Riley's Speech" that gives
the company a good opportunity to display
its merit John II. Reid is the leading
Aileene Vincent, the most clever soubrette
that has appeared at the Empire this sea-
son, Clyde Darrow, as Miss Con, an adven-
turess, pretty and interesting, and the
mainder of the company. Following the
first part" the specialties are given and
Manager Robie offers the best class of per-
formers on the burleSque stage. The Olio
opens with the knickerbocker Four, a male
quartet, and ali of the men are good sing
ers They add much to their act by refrain
ing from introducing any scomedy The
Juggling Normans give an act with Indian
clubs that is very entertaining and also
free from any attempts to amuse the crowd
with alleged bufoOnery. Frank Finney,
who ever appeared in a monologue sketch.
Reid and Gilbert give an attractive sketch.
The AmatOs, French dancers, entertain the
audience The olio concludes with Haw-
thorne and Burt, very clever dancers: The
burlesque is entitled The Isle of Dinky
Doc" In this portion of the show the
comedians, Miss Vincent Miss Darrow and
the chorus of pretty and shapely girls are
given their best opportunity to entertain
the spectators. Many pretty songs are in
terpoiated and the comedy is of a Hilarious
sort Miss Vincent and Miss Darrow scored
decided hits at yesterdays performances.

BLACK GOWNS SHOWN.
In the suit department. there are some
unusually striking gowns in black. among
the priettiest ar Eton suit OF black broad
cloth with a white broadcIoth vest picked
out with gold and touch OF pale blue. The
revers of the coat are of white satin COW

girdle is Of bright-colored silk. The skirt
is close fitting about the hips, fiaring about
the feet ana the shirred back is one of the
new effects Of the spring. A second black
broadcloth suit Is in bolera effect with two
vests. one Of reseda green. the inner one OF

tight models are still shown even In finer
frOcks and suits.
In walking suits the tendency is toward
more elaborate effects and one suit OF gum

bolero decoration for the coat and is more
elaborate i'm its sleeve than the pedestrian
suit is wont. Another walking suit Is OF
very light cloth and the Eton jacket and
skirt are decorated with plaitS. In the
walking suits the habit back-either real or
simulated-is the rule, rather than the ex-
ccptiOn.
In travelling coats some pretty silk and
mohair garments sre shown. and OF these
the prottiest are those in the fashionable
gun-metal tint The mohair fabrics are TO
be especially favored for such coats this
season and beside being durable they are
exceedingly handsome. IN carriage coats
some very handsome models are shown.

The Indianapolis journal., 1904-03-08

The spring opening brought out a large
number of feminine visitors who were
anxious to know what Fate as represented
by Dame Fashion, had in store for them
during the coming seasons at the New
York store yesterday.
In the millinery department the hats are
of unusual beauty this year. A number Of
French models are shown, but the United
States headgear equals them in smartness
and beauty.
Row upon row of narrow Nalenciennes
edging is used for the construction of the
Bebe hats. One of the daintiest has for
foundation pale blue chiffon. The crown is
made of solid rows of lace, and the brim
is formed of overlapping ruffies of the soft
chiffon, edged with the lace. falling softly
about the brim of the hat. Another picture
nat is a black poke shape of fine horse
hair braid. A wreath of roses in the new
coral shades is the effective trimming for
the quaint piece of headgear.
In small hats there are a number of
toques which are almost bonnetlike in their
effect. One Of the prettiest of the toques
is of white straw in lace effect, with mar
row fancy band of jet enclrcling the rolled
brim and a stift jet quill thrust through a
knot of vivid emerald green for trimming
A hat of Tuscan lace is smart with knot
of scarlet velvet which Is among the es-
pecially good trimmings Of the spring.
HATS TRIMMED IN CORAL.
Reseda green is decidedly in again
and a table is given up TO a display Of
hats all in this shade. The prettiest is a
roll-brimmed model OF green maline the
strips which form both brim and crown
plated into checks. a full ruching Of ma
line forms the edge. and the trimming is a
wreath of poppies which are twenty times
as pretty as they SOUND.
One Of the new spring colors Is coral. and
a number Of hats show trimmings in these
nrsttv shades. One straw hat Is OF shaded
reds from a bright scarlet down 10 coral,
and the trimming is tiny pOppies of coral
shades and Nat chouX of ribbon in the
same shades plain but smart toque is Of
black and white straw. its only decoration
a rosette Of soft ribbon In the coral
shades.
The violet hat. without which no spring
would be complete Is shown in unusu-
ally lovely model-a big picture hat OF Inc
straw braid in lavender. which looks like
a succession Of lavender rufiies. The under
brim OF the hat is perfectly plain, Dut the
upper brin and crown are covered with
clusters of shaded pansies.
Black hats are. OF course. one OF the most
attractive OF the displays and the usual

Another acceptable sketch. of an entirely

from Chicago. Miss McDonough's song
suffered because Of the fact that there were
no instrumental parts for the orchestra, the
musicians being compelled TO fake an
accompaniment.
The Three Poiriers, star gymnasts. who
open the programme, give an exhibition OF
skill and strength that is strikingly fine.
AdOlph Poirler, the strongest of the per-
formers, accomplishes several feats that
have never before been attempted by other
gymnasts The Passports two high-class
fancy dancers from France, are seen in
pleasing terpsichorean speciality, in which
toe and instep dancing form leading fea-
ture. They also give an imitation of the
cake-walk ii is now performed in Paris,
and it is interesting to note how this typic-
al American dance is done among the gay
Parisians. Billy Link, the black-face mono-
loguist, who used to call Indianapolis his
home. contributes a ten minutes talk that
causes much laughter. Most of the Jokes
are new, but his imitation of the manner in
which women walk on a rainy day has been
done so often at the Grand this season that
1t is growing tiresome, and Link would do
we'll TO omit this feature, which wasn't at
all funny in the first place. Fields and
Hanson. the comedy musicians, can do al
most anything, il seems, except play on
musical instruments. Their musical selec-
tons are saddening in the extreme, and
much of their comedy is too boisterious to
be funny John Il. Tierney, the Irish mono-
logulst, failed to score a success at the
opening performance of the week Yesterday
afternoon. His style of humor did not ap-
pear to the audience, and when it became
obvious TO him that he was boring the
crowd he very sensibly cut his speciality
short and retired. The bioscope pictures,
which wind up the entertainment, are in
teresting, particularly the splendid views
of the recent great fire in Baltimore.
The Indianapolis journal., 1904-03-08

The sleeves are novel and graceful and are
finished with narrow bands of black velvet
ribbon.
The blouse is made over a fitted lining
which is closed at the center front. On this
lining are arranged the chemisette, the back
and the fronts and the closing is made in

New Orleans Times-Democrat
Every day one learns of new fields of
enterprise open to women oesirous of in
dependence. One recently heard of, the
simple practicability of which is strong in
its appeal, is evening companion for young
girls. The idea is that many parents, wish
ing to go out at night, almost hesitate to do
so because of leaving one or more of their
young daughters at home with no protection
and no better companionship than the serv-
ants. Many families whose immediate cir
Gle is limited may enter into this feeling
with appreciative understanding. Many a
mother sacrifices the pleasures of an even
ing to remain home supervising the studies
and affording her children the proper COM
panionship. This difficulty might be OBJ
