After dining at

A ARTS, After dining at
a fashionable restaurant the
theater is invariably the en-
H tertainment arranged by pop
ular Partisan hostesses, who vie with
each other in getting up small theater
parties instead Of sending out invita-
tons for a dinner and soiree at home.
Owing to this vogue theatrical mana
gers here have found 1t to their ad-
vantage to offer frequent changes in
their playbills. The result Is that one
must be very strenuous to take in every
premiere; but. on the other hand, it
anords the entertainer an infinite va
riety for her theater parties, and conse-
quently one notices among the audi
enCes some Of the best dressed women
in Paris
The programme on Thursday night
at the Theatre BOuffes- Parisiennes in
cluded two new pieces from the pen OF
NJ. Robert Bracco. Although not in any
way brilliant. both plays were sum
GENTLY interesting to cause gossip, for
they circled around several questions
of social interest. Mile. Yahne, one OF
the most appreciated actresses on the
Partisan stage, appeared in the leading
roles. Her gowns were marvels Of sar-
tOrial art. A fascinating house froclk
worn in the last act OF Fin de TAmour''
greatly added to the success of the
mise en- scene. The robe was com
posed OF old rose panne fashioned with
an overdrapery Of silk covered with
ooher lace arranged to form a kind of
tunic with straight folds, which were
short at the sides and dipped toward
the hem in front and at the back.
There has been such an outcry lately
against the size of the hats worn at the
theater which entirely block the view Of
the stage that a reform was earnestly
urged. This reform has resulted in a
charming new theater hat. The theat-
rical managers had not the courage to
take the matter in hand so 1t devolved
upon the milliners to bring about the
desired change. The outcome Of It all
is that the smartest little turbans are
made to ut the head OF each Individual
client. These turbans are generally
seen in black tuIle draped deity on the
shape. The trimming is either small
white tip. a couple of silver wings or a
marabou aigret. These little chapeaux
are worn somewhat on one side, and
the hair is duhed out to meet the hat
and coquettshly pinned to the tulle
with a jeweled brooch. You have nc
idea Of the charming effect of dia-
mond, turquoise or emerald brooch in

A small Louis XIV. toque very charm

wreathed with roses in any becomine
color Similar small hats for the same
purpose are Of fine gold lace and tunt

crepe de chine is edged with roses in
mousseline de sole nesting in a full
ruche of the same. The capote to be
worn with a waist of this kind is made
Of a twist of pailletted tulle of the
same shade and a single ostrich tip
placed rather to the front. This toilet
is chic just now and may be worn to
any theater, except, of course. to the
opera or to the Coincide Franchise,
where one goes en- grande toilette

tied in long ends in front and fell al
most to the feet. The bottom OF the
cloak was 1nerusted in large roses Of
velvet shading from gray to white, with
the centers in silver spang1es.
The second wrap was in mandarin
satin covered with net of the same col
or relieved with a white design. The
net was gathered full at the neck and
fell in a profusion of lacy folds midway
down the figure. The model who was
trying this wrap on spread out her
arms and looked like a lovely tropical
butterfly. The shape is not easy to de-
scribe. The sleeves were cut in the
same long lines as the body Of the
mantle and covered with the net, the
wrists being finished with plaitings OF
orange mousseline de sole. The same
arrangement of rnousselfne trimmed the
fronts on each side. The cloak was

IS Near HOME
Senator, on St. Paul, Due To-
Night, Comes to Give Light
on Acts in Equitable.

Senator Chauncey NJ, Depew, having
cut short his vacation to defend him
self against charges made concerning
his connection with the Equitable Life,
is approaching New York on the Amer
lean liner St. Paul. The ship was
sighted to-day and should reach her
dock before dark.
on the voyage from Southampton
the Senator mas had ample time to
think matters over and prepare an an
swer to his ~cri,ics. His in.pronlptu
remarks to the reporters when he ar
rivcs will undoubtedly explain much
that has hitherto been dark in the
Equitable exposures.
Senator Depew's friends say that he
vii! volunteer as n witness before the
Legislative Investigating Committee.
He Will insist upon n chance to ex-
plain all his actions as an Equitable
director n Will set forth IN detail the
nature OF the services he performed in
consideration Of his annual retainer"

EXPLOSION TO
BURN Tenement
WAS ARRANGED
Bottle Of Oil Found in Blazing
Paper in Hall Of Brook
Ign Dwelling.

An attempt to burn the four-story
tenement No. AT Bushwick avenue,
brooklyn. early to-day, was discovered
IN time TO prevent damage, and the FIRE
was put out without calling the depart
ment, Paper soaked with benzlne and
kerosene was used. and a bottle con-
tanning both was found.
The building is one Of a row OF frame
tenements between Flushing and Bush
wick avenues. The lower part is a
store and the three ppe floors are
occupied by seven families.
Unable to sleep las night because of
She heat. Antonio Bonsur. one OF the
tenants, went Into the hall and tried to
rest. He was awakened by the smell OF
smoke. and called another tenant. To-
ge:her they investigated. At tho loot
of the stairs they came across the pile
Of papers that had been soaked with oil.
While one ran for n policeman the
other raised an alarm and carried sorae
OF the stuff to the street. A policeman
who was on the corner ran to the
house. and tho three men soon a all
the blazing paper thrown out n then
came across the bottle Of oil and BEN
zine.
The bottle was warm. but had not
reached the point where 1t was ready
to explode because OF Its being made OF
extra heavy glass.
A peculiar thing about the fire was
the fact That the doors In the lower
part of the house were closed. On all
other nights In the summer they stand
open, front and back. The i~ncendiarv
Is thought to have closed them to hide
the Are from any one passing by. and
to this fact is due largely the failure OF
the fire to gain Roadway. as there was
little draught.
The Fire Marshal and the police are
investigating. The building is only a
short distance from the one in which a
life was lost last Tuesday in an incen-
diary Are.
The owner OF the house is a Mr.,
Cohen. who lives in the neishborhood.
He says he knows OF no enemy who
would wish to destroy his property.
