Outlook for Tan-Colored Shoes.

Shoe and Leather Reporter: Judging
from the statements of shoe manufac-
turers, wholesalers and statesmen, the
demand for t%an-colored shoes and other
light shades for the approaching spring
and summer eason will not be phe-
nomenal, nor will it exceed the expec-
tations Of several months ago. The sea-
son is now far enough advanced to give
a fair indication Of what may
be expected in the call for this class OF
goods. The opinion seems quite gen.
eral that tans In the various shades will
be confined principally to high-class
goods. a small amount to the medium
fine grades, and with very lew among
the cheap lines; that tans will sell more
freely in the larger cities than for sew
eral years, especially in the east and
middle west, and also that their sale
will not by a long margin affect that

The wind swept a cloud of dust about

of praise: Miss Barrymore is IN actress

playgoers the sense of nature and fresh
ness"
Naturalization of William lie Queux's
novel. LAS We Forgive Them is one of
the plays with which New York is to be
favored in October.
The Empires season of burlesque will
come to an end to-day with matinee and
evening performances by the World Beat
ers" company. Manager Zimmerman says
that the season has been the best ever ex-
perienced by the Empire chiefly on ac-
count of the increased attendance at the
matinees. On the whole, the burlesque
shows seen in Indianapolis during the last
nine months have been better than those of
previous seasons, but there is still room for
improvement in this particular field of the
atrical entertainment. The company which
closes the season at the Empire is a fairly
good organization, with several excellent
vaudeville features. The Empire will open
its season OF 19O4-O5 early in September.
Jack Ward Kett, stage manager of the
Holden Stock Company, has been playing
a part in each bill the company has offered
at the Park, and he has been doing a good
deal more. When a play calls for more
players than make up the Holden forces,
the stage manager slips off to a quiet cor
ner and ''boils down" the play until 1t
does fit In Resurrection" there is evil
dence of his editing" The company had
two dramatizations Of this play, in which
ii closes tonight. One of them required a
force of forty players and the other TWEEN
ty-four. Mr.. Kett pored over the novel
from which the play is taken. pore6 over
both OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES many hours
with both-and when he had finished his
task the play was ready for a company of
twelve or fifteen players, but he lodged
many difficulties by giving several men
dual roles. In this way the company has
been able to present twenty-five speaking
parts. The whole was accomplished without
the stage manager sacrificing the story to
serious extent. The Holden company will
play THE Christian" and "Sapho" next
week.

Richard Carries operate comedy, 1.-THE
Tenderfoot," which returns to English's to-
day for matinee and evening performances,
is so we'll known in Indianapolis that re-
introduction is entirely unnecessary. 1t is
of the brightest musical shows of the
season and has already played two highly
successful engagements in this city. 1t is
filled with tuneful songs and choruses, clev-
er situations and elaborate pictorial eff
fects.
The only important change in the cast
since the piece was last seen in Indianapo-
lis is the substitution of Phil Ii. Ryley for
Richard Carrie in the leading comedy role
Mr.. Carrie was compelled to leave the COM
pany in order to take charge of the re-
hearsals in Chicago of his new musical
comedy, THE Mummy and the Maid soon
to be produced in the Western metropolis
for summers run. Mr.. Ryley Is n good
comedian and should be very acceptable as
the droll Professor Pettibone. The other
leading members of the cast are Edmund
Stanley, William Rock. Charles Wayne.
Henry Norman, Helena Frederick, Mamie
Ryan, Agnes Paul and Ethel Johnson.

Changes in Styles.

New York Evening Post.
1t seems certain that the Directoire mode
has made its appearance, and will later
rule the fashions. The sleeve which is
usually the first part of the dress to
change, shows unmstakable leaning
towards the Directoire style. The 1880 long,
dropping shoulder has not vanished, but
the line has been perceptibly broadened
The boufant part of the sleeve has been
creeping up from the wrist, where il was
a year ago. and is we'll on its way to the
shoulder. a feature of the new sleeve is
that 1t is so artfully joined to the waist
with drapings and trimmings that the arm
hole is scarcely noticeable. Another and
a more radical change in fashion seems i'm
minent. The blouseG waist is to GO The
Paris fashion magazines have been showing
gowns made with waists that are nearly
like the old-time basques. At all events
they are tight-fitting, and show the line of
the bust. That such decided change will
be brought about at once is not likely. The
blouse will continue popular during the
summer, without doubt, but the tendency
is plain. 1t is well in providing the sum
mer wardrobe to keep the trend of fashion
in mind.

A Woman DefauIter.

Springfield Republican.
There is unfortunate scandal in the
woman's club in Elgin, ILL.,, in the dis
closure that Miss Elizabeth j. Lunn, the
treasurer, is defaulter in the sun of So, CO.,
which she has used for other than club pur-
poses during the past two and half years.
The club is an important one and it has
supported the Sherman Hospital containing
nearly fifty beds. 1t was proposed TO erect
$1,000 addition to the hospital, and for
this purpose large deposits were carried
Miss Lunn was particularly anxious to be
reelected, and her undue canvassing led
the president of the club, Mrs. r. d. Hol-
lenbeck, to investigate the accounts. 1t is
said that the shortage will be made good
by friends of Miss Lunn, whose confused
moral defense is: Father is old and in
firm. We are all getting old, and needed
the money worse than the woman's club.
i am not sorry that / took it," The affair
is sad enough from every point of view, as
Miss Lunn and her sister have long been
active in charitable work and were equally
respected. But it is not for men, with the
commonplace Of defalcation in the business
world, to be too hard on this woman. Miss
Lunn is 'in the way to realize the crushing
nature of her act more than was the case
at first, whether or not prosecution follows.
