1.-THE Office Boy" Frank Daniels's latest
and from all accounts his most successful
musical piece, will be seen at Englishs the
last two nights of this week witha Saturday
matinee, under the management of Charles
b. Dillingham;, who is said to have given
the piece a magnificent production. The
Office Boy is by Harry b: Smith. the fer
tile librettist with music by Ludwig Eng
lander. There is no comedian on the stage
to-day with more unique and comical
personality than Frank Daniels, and he
has always been great favorite in Indian
apOlis. In his present vehicle the author
has provided him with role that exactly
suits his peculiar individuality. As the
down-trOdden, four dollar-a-week office
boy he is said to be irresistibly funny.
He is surrounded by a big company. The
seat sale for the engagement will open
to-day.

Walking skirts.

New York Commercial.
To-day they are made about inch from
the ground, and just escape touching. They
have become so popular that skirts in
tended for street wear, whether of silk,
wolfe. linen or cloth are all made walking
length and it is said that this style was
even extended to the dancing frock.
1t is not to be disputed that the train
skirt is certainly the most graceful but
the majority of women do not know how
to hold them up properly, and, further
more, it is very tiresome. The effect of
the well made walking skirt is certainly
very smart.
Even on Easter morning the majority OF
well-dreSsed women seen on Firth avenue
wore walking suits. These are not strictly
tailor-made affairs, but are often quite elab-
crate, being made of silk and wolfe. The
vogue of the full skirt is evident. although
not so noticeable in the thin materials
