Shopping Suggestions.

indianapolis souvenir plates show the
stately monument picked out in blue with
border of the same color. The plates cost
but 30 cents and are preferred souvenirs
by many women to the overdone souvenir
spoons.
Persian bands are among the smart trim
mings and come in a variety of forms de-
signed for different fabrics. The embroidery
is done in white silk etamine or canvas, and
the bright colors and elaborate embroidery
make the narrow bands as effective trim
mings as may be found.
Very beautiful and very expensive are the
embroideries of mingled silk and spangles on
delicate fabrics, forming the most charming
of applques for elaborate evening frocks.
One combination of gold and lavender shows
cluster of violets spreading like fan, with
scrolls and leaves picked out in gold.

The blue and green combination that will

veilings, a navy blue length dotted with
small chenille balls OF green. One of the
new black chiffon piece wells is very heavy

stitching about half an inch below the top.

The trimmings of the coming season bid
fair to outshine any of their predecessors
for richness and elaboration. Though the
stocks of trimmings are by no means COM
plete, there are enough in indianapolis cases
to show what way the wind Of fashion is
blowing. One of the most beautiful of the
appliques is a graceful leaf design, a COM
bination of lace, of cloth Of gold and of navy
blue panne, the latter embroidered in gold
beads. The price of the richness is $3.50 a
yard.

nut-street Opera House tonight in the per-
son of Forbes Robertson, whose histrionic
success in this country has hitherto rested
on his fascinating portrayal of the blind war
artist in Kipling's THE Light That Failed"
A large and critical audience greeted the
brilliant actor on his initial American I'M

it's demonstrations Of enthusiasm called
him before the curtain repeatedly at the
end of each act
The Ophelia of Gertrude Elliott is a con-
vincing portrayal, her reading is admirable
and shows the thorough training she has
ingenue Of Nat Goodwin's company.
The other characters were in capable
hands, notably the Ghost of G. Aubry
Smith, the Polonius of Guy Lane and the
King of Ian Robertson. The only Ameri-
can in the cast is Jennie A. Estace who
gave an admirable Characterization of the
queen mother.
Mr.. Robertsons acting version Of Ham
LETT has been prepared chiefly from the
Cambridge and Variorum editions of Shak-
speare. All of the action occurs at Elsnore
Castle. which readily commends itself, FOR
the reason that there is less change of
scene thus allowing more scope and acting
to the characters.
The Robertson Elliott engagement has
been notably successful here. After short
tour Hamlet will be taken to New York
for an extended engagement.

Gus, not to say amusing. She is a brainy
woman, as the phrase goes. and her strong
est gravitation is toward intellectual COM
panons. But she has unbounded social
ambition, and reveres wealth and all its
glittering trappings with an awe both SOL
emn and laughable. In circle of &C
quaintances are several plain little women,
who do not care much for dress. and spend
money on books rather than on expensive
garb. One of these women came TO me re-
Gently and said: L don't understand Glenn
entine; perhaps you can help me elucidate
her. We are quite intimate in our literary
work. and she always invites to her
small club parties. and so on, but when she
has anything large and fashionable she
omits me: or. when she meets me at any
large and fashionable assembly, her man
ner is most remote and unapproachable.
oh. Clementine is problem what
ever 1 explained: the social world is full
of women like Clementine. With me she
has these same off-and-on moods. She
bows down to money, and not to mind.
When she is alive on her intellectual side
she feels congeniality with you; but when
fashion has the upper hand, and elegant
frocks are in her vision, we are temporarily
obscure. She is what a bright indianapolis
woman describes as bigness worshiper. If
we have a friendliness with Clementine at
all. it must be on her terms. for she is born
with this warped vision and will never see
human-nature values any more clearly. 1t
need not make US cynical, for it is most d.

Some of the gowns seen at the Astor ball

Probably the most gorgeous of these was
worn by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt 1t was
of crown shape, extending all the way
around, and high in the back as the front.
Her blonde hair was done in an extremely
fluffy fashion, but guiltless of waves, and
much of it was pulled UP inside the tiara. 1t
also fiuffed out below the crown. Her dia-
mond necklace very wide and of very
open work, and three sapphires fully an inch
long and three-Quarters of an inch wide
were set in the front. There was also a
pendant plastron of diamonds at least six
inches deep, In the center Of which shone
another of these huge sapphires. Her white
gown had set in at the left side of the bodice
in semi-serpentine fashion a strip of blue
velvet as dark as the blue stones IN her
necklace.
