TAeStrioGl Notes

The John b. Wills Musical compa-
ny which plays a two-nlghts' enga &c
ment here, tonight and Saturday
night. with a matinee salu iay a..
rived in the city this afternoon, bring
ing with them car load OF spec'a'
scenery and mechanical equipments.
The bill for tonight will be a"Tr.p
to Atlantic City" three-act mus.e-
al comedy, and is full Of wit and hui
NOR.
the matinee bin for tomorrow will
be "The Happy Mr.. Hooligan." and
Is bill that, will especially please
I tn women and children. a special
I price of ten cents for children and
twenty cents for adults has been ar
ranged so that every school child
may have the opportunity of sselng
one of the seasons at popular prices.
One of the eastern papers on com
menting on the Wills company says
the. following:
Mr.. Wills appeared before the
curtain at the Colonial last nigh. az
.er tn, second ,ct of "a Tap to A.
iantic City" by the Wills Comedy
company, and announced that the
sole intention of his organization was
to stir up good, hearty laugh on the
part of the audience. The purpose
was fully realized. The audience
was kept laughing constantly and it
is safe bet that everybody got his
moneys worth. Vt Is trur that these
laugh-evok5ng efforts were not al
ways strictly according to Hoyle. and
the stringent rules of absolute COM
edy were occasionally violated"
The Dainty Duchess company
which is next weeks attraction at
The Kentucky, Monday. matinee and
night. has decidedly novel method
of presenting its program and there
Is no doubt but that the old ideas
in extravaganza will soon BE- di.ven
out by the energetic actions Of the
owners of The Dainty Duchess.
There is not wait or stop in the
entire show and from the rise TO the
fall of the curtain there Is one rapii
fire delivery of clever connections in
the theatrical amusement line. The
girls. and there is a myriad of them
are all pretty, graceful, wear swell
gowns and know how to wear them.
In addition to the music which is
bright and catchy. the scenery is new
and bright and the electrical effects
surpass any similar attraction.
Prof. Deal will at the Kentucky
theater, matinee and night tomor-

THE SALE OF PAYNE'S
REMEDIES.
Payne Desires TO Give Every One IA,
Opportunity to ;icct Him.

A plan to accommodate the people
who have heretofore been unable to
sec Payne has been decided upon by
the great advertiser who has ar
ranged to extend the hours of the
sale OF his remedies.
Owing to the many requests OF
people who have been unable to cali
at Smith & Nagers drug store dur
ing working hours Payne has decid-
ed to lengthen the hours of the sale
Saturday evening and Sunday.
In speaking about the matter he
said:
~ have received 90 many requests
from people who are busy during the
day asking me TO give them an OPP
portunity for an interview with my
self or my assistants that | have de-
cided to remain at the store Satur

Desires to Meet Every One.
1T is my desire 10 meet every suf
fering man or woman who may wish

dies. and feel | should make them

The sale of the preparations is
increasing at an astonishing rate and
with the passing days of Payne's WIS.,
II in this city the reason for the UNI
usual success OF the remedies has be-
come more apparent. Not day pass
es that many persons do not call to
thank him for what they say his rem
edies have done A half hour spent in
Smith & Nagels drug store listening
to the reports made by these people
makes clear the reason why they re-
gard these preparations as something
really remarkable. One of the in
teresting stories of this nature was
that of Miss O'Connell, who called to
thank Payne. and said 81 have been

When stories like these are taken

The Button Question.

The button question is most interesting
when considered along with negligees.
The negligee gains so much by the ad-
dition Of a couple of buttons upon the
cuff or upon the rever than one wonders
why eli dressmakers do not take ad-
vantage Of this style of trimming.
No matter when buttons were invent
ed It is certain that they were very
much used in the time OF Napoleon III.
and il is certain that the Empress Gu
genie wore them and loved to trim her
gowns with them. They seem to make
a trimming OF their own which is both
interesting and effective
Buttons are made of all materials
They are made Of turquoise, which. with
q little rim Of gold around the edge, is
as pretty as 1t can be- And they are
made OF rubber. of enamel OF gun metal,
and silver and gold Every substance is
brought into play these days to produce
pretty button decorations.

How to Make House Gown.

There Is a house gown with Spanish
ruffies that is sometimes called d Eul.4iie.
Very full. very long, open In front and
cut low in the neck. it Is a thing of. COM
fort and OF beauty. OF course. all the
small appointments must be in keeping
and this calls for a soft taffeta petit
coat harmonizing in color am. for beau
tituiIy embroidered stockings and slip
pers whose heels and toes match the
gown.
The embroidered slipper toe is a thing
which makes the foot look smaller, while
the little brilliant buckle. set in tire mid
die os the fat little velvet rosette. is a
form Of slipper trimming which is much
seen.
For the making OF the peignoir there
are many materials. y modiste who has
been engaged to build trousseau for a
very fashionable gigl has been asked to
select the material for six tea and room
gowns She calls them tea gowns,
Iounging robes, kimonos. peignoirs, and
room Jackets. And her materials are

Hand Work Pretty.

But. oh dear. how is one to describe
all the negl!gees and where shall one
stop in a study Of the tea gowns? There
is no limit at all to them and the
woman who tries to follow them will be
lost in a hopeless maze of color and ma
terial In which each garment will seem
finer than the last one.
The white hand-enbroidered peignoirs
are indescribably lovely and equally ex-
pensive. One cannot imagine anything
prettier nor costIier One can easily
spend little fortune upon them. To
pay $50 for a simple little India linen
peignoir with handmade and hand
embroidered ruffies Is nothing at all. And
TO pay 800 is not out of the ordinary.
Little Lady mary Montague. baby
daughter Of the Duchess OF Manchester.
entertained her young friends the other
morning in a simple little white frock
embroidered with white rose sprays, the
hand work upon which came to $50:
while her pretty young mamma, the
duchess, wore a peignoir with front ruff
fies and ruff1es around the bottom that
were edged with lace which cost more
than many an evening gown. Such is
the story Of some of the pretty peignoirs
of the year.

Not a Corset Talk.

This is not a corset talk, but have you
seen the new cDrsets? They are made of
fiowered brocade. too pretty to be passed
by without notice, and they are lined
with another color, pink or blue You
can buy the loveliest corsets for so very
EItie these days. But If YOU feel like
paying more you can go up higher In
the prices.
The beautiful white satin brocades
come at upwards Of $25, trimmed with
lace, embroidered around the upper edge
and lined with pretty color. And there
come other handsome corsets, not made
of satin, but exquisite to the last de-
gree.
Fashionable women are taking plain
white corsets and trimming them with
lace around the top, putting on the lace

VE the other morning with Miss
Haclxett IN her arms. She was
dressed in a clover blossom

tafTeta OF the same color. Little Miss
Hackett was in white nainsook with

sleeves with pink bows. Upon her left
arm were her initials, done in tiny

assortment of negIigees in town.
The materials for negligees are alba
tross, cashmere. yelling, and voile
These make very pretty house dresses
and, though not as new as some of the
materials of the season, they make very
acceptabI dresses. There is something
about these goods which wins its way 10
the feminine affection, q certain soft
ness, an adaptabiity. a luster and dig

when one is choosing ones gown.

Mrs Reginald Vanderbilt and other
women who have gowns in quantity can

Likes Cheerful colors.

"I make it point" said q woman who
makes tea gowns, Ito select cheerful
colors, for one must remember that the
gown is to be worn indoors by sub
dued light The new tones are pansy

q renaissance. Then there Is mustard
brown. and there is iron gray. which
is good combined with red The most i'm
portant feature for a tea gown is its
color 1t must be well chosen or the
gown is never successful
after the color comes the material,
which should have a luster. And for
this one can Recommend the Oriental
silks, If one is choosing a dreBsy tea
gown, or the silk poolins. And last Of
all comes the style and the it.''
The successful tea gowns of domestic
make show & variety Of style. But all
have large sleeves with plenty Of ma

is loose Ia the front and fitted in the
back and which is trimmed up the
front breadth with little rufffes of Valen-
ciennes lace The back is sweeping in
its length. and is trimmed with sash
or with deep hounces.

mediocrity. And the teagown is no ex-
ception to this. With a pretty lace
bertha one can make teagown dressy

be of nice lace and should be carefully

upon the fit of the neck of any gown,

Skirt and Pettieoat Style.

There is style of tea gown which has
the dressy look Of handsome robe Of
the Iizabethan days and again OF the

a petticoat beneath which her little

Display of Tea Gowns.

Upon Fifth avenue the other day there
was a display of tea gowns. The open

had been rented for the purpose. No
less than fifty magnificent tea gowns
were spread out. and the callers were
invited 10 examine them and note their
pecuiiarities. They were of two classes.
the domestic and the imported, and. of
the two. IL can be said that the domestic
