INC tied with a scarlet scarf is the prin-
cipal feature OF the decoration.
The ron of the Hudson's playful carries
out exactly the decorative scheme Of the
theatre. It is finished in dark green
marble and bronze. The front of the pro-
gramme shows a plaque formed Of this
material.
The keynote Of the New Amsterdam's
programme is the art Houredu, Of which
the theatre is the most noted example in
this country. A medallion is finished
with the scene Of a shepherd playing a
hfe, while his flock grazes a short distance
away. Two heads Of women figure in the
conventionalized vines hat frame the
page, which is vivid green in hue.
The Astor programme shows a view OF
Greek ruins, while the coat Of arms Of the
family after which the theatre il named
appears conspicuOusly in one corner OF
the heavily adorned page. A Greek col
umn, a palm leaf and the medallion Of
OF a wOman's head with an antique couture
are details Of the cover.
The New York's programme Is a view
Of the city taken from the Bay. On its
green waters there floats a medieval bark
making for the Battery, which bears, with
perhaps pardonable anachronism, the
same skyscrapers that rear their proud
heads there to-day.
The Savoy's COO gray front contains,
against a branch Of holly, an oval medallion
head OF a lady with art nouUeGu jewelry,
the arms Of Savoy and a sword draped
with a white scarf. The Madison Square
has as the principal feature OF it's decoration
an Egyptian woman with a mask.
The figure OF a woman In modern dress
holding a mask is also the decorative scheme
OF The Academy Of Music's new bill.
The Majestic has the head Of a girl with
peoples in her brown hair n long black
ribbons hanging parallel to her thick brown
plaits in its upper left hand corner and the
simplicity OF this scheme compared with the
excessive ornateness Of some OF he other
designs il a pleasant relief to the eye.
The contorted figure OF a woman In Greek
costume covers all the front OF the Lyrics
present programme. She is tWanging a
mastodonic harp and making music so
nightly that she has shaken on part OF
her wrappings n apparently thrown
her spine out OF jOint. She seems against
hard 10 live up 10 the name OF the house.

The Empire, the Liberty and the Criterion
programmes all have architectural de-
signs touched with some conformity to the
name Of the theatres. For the Empire
there is a conventional decorative design
Of this period, with it's suggestion Of Egypt

new THEATRE PROGRAMMES.
A Reform PROMISED TO NEW
YORK PLAYGOERS.
Assurances That tho Ink on Thla seaaon's

sIN Designs Prepared In . New style.

A reform in theatre programme is prom
iced to New York this season. No more,
theatregoers are assured, will black ink
smudgs light colorsd Kid gloves or leave
traces on evening gowns.
T~wenty-six Of the new programmes have
been designed. They may he improved
hereafter from the artistic point OF view.
AZ present their overwhelming merit liz that
the ink will not rub OF.
No special attempt has been made TO indi-
cate the theatres policy in the design for the
thick paper OF its programme. Yet this
has been lone in some oasaa.
Perhaps no playhouse presents more con-
sistently the same kind OF attractions than
the Casino. These light musical plays
follow one another with nc interruption Of
serious drama.
This adherenoe to one style Of play has
come TO have the value Of an asset TO the
theatre and IL is naturally represented on
the cover OF the now programme. A bru-
nette with a red dress and black stockings
is seen revealing the latter With the ira
ditional iberality Of tho Casino stage.

enough 60 interfere with the evolutions Of
the dance.
Another instance in which the design
seeks to reflect the character II not the
artistic policy Of the playhouse Is found in
the Knickerbocksr's programme. This is a
theatre which seeks TO preserve an atmos-
phere Of artistic aristocracy and on the
programme cover arc the figures Of two
young womeh in evening dress staring Ian
guidly out Of a box. One leans forward
far enough to exhibit a slight interest in the
play, but the other, in exclusive lassitude,
seems to fix her eyes with difficulty on tho
scene.

BEAUTY BATHS ARE TAKEN
EVERY Day BY THE SUMMER GIRL
Though Exposed to the Sun, She Must Have No
Tan or FreckleS-Must Always Look Bright

The summer girl must have no blem-
ishes; though exposed 10 the sun she
must have no tan or freckles; though
she dance all night she must show no
wrinkles
The summer girl should be the pret-
test OF all the year.
Winter has its girl, with her glowing
cheeks and sparkling eyes, and spring
has it's own girl. with the arbutus tints
and the violet glow. and April has It's
girl: and May and June. with the rose
colors-an have their own.
But lovelier Shan all should be the
summer girl. For her there must be
eyes as clear as the sea, cheeks as
pink as the shells that lie on the shore.
lips as ripe as the summer berries, and
a forehead as softly toned as the cream
Of the country girls milking pail. and
a figure that might be a composite OF
all the graces and al the nymphs.
The summer girl must have no blem-
ishes. Though exposed to the sun all
day, she must have no tan; though in
the wind from morning until night, she
must show no freckles; though she
dances from night until morning, she
must never display a wrinkle, though
she swings the clubs and bowls and
plays croquet. tennis and what-not. she
must have fair. soft. white hands. a per-
fectly nodded figure and be coiffured
from morning until night and from
night until morning in the most ap-
proved style.
1t is like playing with fire. the sum
rner campaign of the summer girl.
Though exposed to the seorching rays,
she must not show that she feels them;
though in every way tempted of the ele
ments and enduring their rigNrs, she
must show no outward visible evidence
that they are bothering her.
1t is easier said than done, this keep
ing clear of ths suns touches. tbs sum-
rner girl will tell you But she VIII add
that ii is a possibility. She VIII tell
YOU that she can keep the sun of her
face in the shape of freckles ard tan,
hands-gloveless all day-yet so soft and
fine and pink that you look upon them
Tbe hands of the summer girl are her
chief wonder. You find them moist.
Welding. beautiful in shape, and allur-
ing in their gestures She KEEPS them

her teeth, her hair. and her very neck
and shoulders, which are the most diff
cult of all members to keep pretty. be-
cause of the metallic stock and the col
ored yokes which are worn.
The summer girl will assure you that
if is all a matter Of her beauty bath. 1t
is not the carrying Of a sunshade; II is
not the wearing of a wide hat and
gloves; it is not the staying in during
the hottest of the hot hours; it is not

And upon this the summer belle ex-
