Another institution particularly sacred, in this town is the banquette, where the people promenade back and forth for the evening gossip, the sidewalk much more given over to sociability than with us of the north.
 In speaking of the old pert of the town one must certainly make mention of the cemeteries, shrines and churches so marked with the religion that dom- mated Louisiana; must &t least speak of the markets, surely worth visiting and revisiting.

Jacques "a . S
VAUDEVILLE.

There is a peculiarly fascinating story in "The Wife" which the POli summer stock company presented for the first time this week at the Jacques this afternoon. Helen Truman, the woman about whose personality the plot moves, is a character bound to win the appreciation of the lovers of emotional creations. Given case where a woman attaches herself to q man she does not love and who meets every day him to whom her heart has been given. there is naturally se- quence of dramatic events which of themselves go far towards the making of an absorbing play. This situation has been worked by David BelascO and Henry c. De Mile to the utmost in building a drama which for intensi- ty of feeling and concentration of in- terest has few equals in it's class. "The Wife" is a play which rouses the sym pathies of an audience in two-fold manner. on account of John Ruther- ford. who has married the woman he loves In good faith. and also for Helen, who has tied herself down to an un- happy marriage in a fit of irritation over her sometime cavaliers past at tachment for another woman. The wo- man is pitied because of her weakness and unhappiness and the man because he Is unjustly made to suffer the re- suits of her lack of character. It Is all right fin the end. however. when the sturdy unselfish manhood of John is appreciated by his wife and when he realizes how sorely tried she has been through cherishing an affection which was only delusion. One of the most attractive features of the piece is the way in which the serious situations arg relieved by an infusion of comedy and the depressing effect of the serious sit- nations removed. Miss Hayward as Helen Truman is cast In lines that suit her talents perfectly. and Mr Simmons makes a winning John Rutherford. The comedy work of Miss Leblanc and Mir Clemens is especially well done. as Is the character work of three of the company's most sterling players. Mrs Bates. Mir Hoey and Mir Lawrence. Ira Earle gives a good reading to the char acter of John Gray. the tilted lover. and Miss McKeon plays the part of Lucille Ferrant with impressiveness and grace. Prices are 1O. 20 and D cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents. la dies 10.

and more she can count as her age, this town so favorably situated as a depot of trade. The plantations send down their wealth from above, cargoes from the outer world bring riches to the city by way of the gulf. Though frequently menaced by the yellow waters of the great river, it has learned to control their fury. New Orleans Is the metrop- oils of the south, the second largest city in this country. If, as she thinks. the canal is to confer upon her more bene- it than upon any other of our ports, no wonder the New Orleanists dream of . wonderful future.
 To-day the city is strange com pound of the old and the new. Here stand business houses couple of hun dred years old, and near them modern office structures; a modern quarter, with residences of modern date and ap- pearance, looks strangely out of place in a city that for so long has retained the traditions of the iow-storied dwell- ings, much galleried, vine-wreathed.
 Most incongruous of all is the trolley car, jangling down the magnolia bor- dered avenues, as unconcernedly as though 1t were traversing stony. verd- ureless streets in northern town given over entirely to trade and business. un- mindful of flowers and beauty. The northern visitor never tires of the nov city of the semitropic growths that re- fresh eye and spirit along the anything but commonplace way the street car fol lows. On one side may be the smooth est of carriage drives. on the other de- lightful bridle path. in the center vel vety grass with an inner avenue of beau tiful trees. The historic French quar- ter. though resisting with the might and main of prejudice. is being affected by innovations of trolley, railway term finals. modern structures and modern people. All over the town one sees the resistance is not equal to the invasion.

of outdoor life. Some one speaks of New Orleans as the city that lives out doors, and so it may well be characterized. We go to the parks and it seems the whole town is disporting there; placidly enjoy ing the moss-draped great live oaks, lazily watching the movements of the alligators in the water, or simply bask- ing with their companions in the warmth and light.
 In the garden district we find outdoor life in it's most aristocratic form, if one may so speak of what is supposed to be a return to the primitive. This was once a far-famed faubourg. Here are num- bers of fine old places typical of that ele- gant, gracious hospitality indulged in by the old families of wealth and high station.
 An avenue of magnolias in itself is worth a pilgrimage to from a far dis tance; the huge white blossoms of intox- icating beauty. the polished green of the leaves shining far down the street. The rose and wistaria draped brick walls one does not soon forget, nor the palms growing out of doors, nor glassed over but rioting in the open air under the blue sky.
 Just north of the city are the pine woods, health-giving and of much beauty; the palm and the pine not far separated in this land of contrasts. The 'peNS Af;sfxSFs oSFhs Hay fdhis garden spot. park or woods or fields: and we understand the reason for call- ing New Orleans the city that lives out doors.
