season will he about 80 per cent. greater

mate the crop for the current year as

The old theme of wealth and poverty
 has been worked out in a play recently presented by Mrs. Patrick Campbell to a
 London audience.
 The phases presented are those of the
 overworled sewing girl struggling to fin
 ish a ball gown for one of London's great
 ladies, and the play has been written to
 secure more sympathetic treatment of
 working women by what Is called the
 upper classes. s.
 An English critic fin the New York Tri- bune in a lengthy outline of the play says
 Mrs. Lyttleton raises the curtain upon the showrooms of Madame Stefanie, who uses the plain English of Stepney when she Is scoldlng and bullying the filters and sewing women. and an affected French accent when she receives her smart patrons. Lady Jennie Barkstone gives an order at the last moment for a costly costume for the most brilliant fan cy dress ball of the season, and the re- sources of the entire working force are drawn upon to finish 1t in time. Her hlppant talk irril4tcs Captain Harwood duu stfeIBiHtilS MISS 1ODSoHby ubiu upon his affections, but she is supported by a society journalist Percy Wilson, who knows all about chiffons and models and understands what the smartest peo- pie mean when they talk about brick dust and dentists" He Is also on fla miliar terms with the handsomest work Ing girls and coarsely volunteers to set up one of them, Theodore Hemmlng, in a shop of her own.

In the closing act Theodosia de-

llyers Lady Jennie Barkstone's costume barely in time for the ball, and when she has rebuked society for its heartlessness finds herself out of work and without a home for her sister Phoebe. The man milliner Percy Wilson, renews his de- grading offers and gives her e1o, but she Is saved from disgrace by the death of her sister. Mrs. Campbell Is pathetic figure as the working girl struggling to keep her sister alive and herself unspot- ted by temptation, and she has several stirring moments, especially when she breaks out in revolt against her employer and lashes with seornful tongue the great ladies of Belgravia."
 The scenes are declared to be over drawn and the factory laws and statute books for women are quoted to prove the assertion that there is no moral to be gent over the footlights.
 The truth, however, remains and there are scores of instances on this side of the water, If not in London, where women in the upper classes" lack consideration for the handwriting women in the dressmak- Ing establishments. The London play may have exaggerated situations, but there are unfortunately women whose con- sciences are easy when the dressmaker's bill is settled and little thought is given to tho tragedies of the work room.
