CHOOSING STAGE BEAUTIES.
pudge Shubert Wanted Twelve, But
 Decided to Take Fifteen.

From the New York Times.
 There was a beauty contest in the Lyric theatre yesterday morning. The contest ants desired to be named among the twelve most beautiful women in New York" for whom Lee Shubert advertised, to appear in forthcoming show.
 The contest opened precisely at Il o'clock. MT. Shupert, armed with a pair of lorgnettes. took his seat at big table in the middle of the stage of the Lyric theatre Charming Pollock, herald of the ~1rama as staged by MT. Shubert under took with many misgivings to preserve prder, while the stage doorkeeper guard ed the gateway to histrionic fame. The doorman was not a tactful person. He shouted upstairs:
 Say. will I let in anybody as says ahe's beauty?'
 Another disturbing element was a wom- m photographer from newspaper who called Mir Pollock aside and whispered:
 MT. Pollock, I've lined up the beauties but there are four there that-that are Himply-you understand. Won't you please ask them to step out?'
 MT. Pollock, perspired and replied:
 Madam, there are few things l would not do for a lady, but this is one of shem" The picture went as it stood.
 Most of the young women who applied were of the experience unnecessary class, Some came from apartment houses. some from good hotels but most of them went from the Harlem flat and the Flat

 longs you say so, step right in. There s whole bunch in there" The doorman was here interrupted by gngerly prod from an umbrella. Be- fore him stood woman on the Autumn side of Life's Summer. Her hat was faded and awry, but carefully adjusted curl dropped from the confines of her hairnet
 Between you and me," she whispered. it is not real beauty that counts. It is pull You put in a word for me, like dear boy. like your face" She ripped mincingly through the stage door and got in line.
 Meantime, Lee Schubert in the middle
 of the stage, with his lorgnettes. a sheet of paper, and a pencil. was haggard and busy, for disaster was in the air So
 they put it up to a brawny stage hand.
 This brutal person shouted brazenly from
 the wings:
 "As MT. Shubert only wants real com
 plexions, ladies will please retire to the
 dressing rooms and wash their faces
 At least twenty indignant women staIked
 out Then the tension was eased a bit.
 The woman who carried off the honors
 of the day said she was Miss Florence
 Seamon, living at an uptown hotel. She
 had never been on the stage before. When
 Lee Shubert saw her, by the nine gods
 he swore that she should be engaged on the spot. She was.

The intense feminine interest Tn the rousseau of Miss Alice Roosevelt and the widespread discussion 1t has aroused has developed the fact that New York mas plenty of brides every year who spend as high as $10OOO to $25, 900 for rousseau. While there are not many who spend S25,00O on their bridal outfit, there are dozens who pay the sum of $l0,00O
 Not all these handsome and expensive trousseaus made in New York are con fined by Father Knickerboeker's brides, strictly speaking. Included in this fortu- nate class are many daughters of the west who journey to New York to purchase their bridal wardrobes.
 "A fashionable bride of the 400 family could not possibly get along with small CT troussean," said one of New York s leading modistes, in commenting on MISS Roosevelt's remarkable wardrobe of enor- nous proportions.
 with dinners luncheons, balls and the round of fashionable society events into which the bride and bridegroom find themselves thrown, despite the announce ments that the young couple will spend a qulet honeymoon, every bit of finery that belongs to a s10,0O0 wardrobe is de- handed"
 Exceptions were made in the trousseaus of recent expensive brides, the Duchess of Marlborough and Mrs. Alfred G. Van derbilt. The estimate placed ofl their bri- dal outfits was considerably more than $5 600.
