White grounds figured conventionally

Early Victorian" styles are here
again with braided trimmings, hchu
and crossover bodice draperies, droop-
ing shoulders and here and there a
polonaise.
The newest idea is the foulard silk
border patterns that come by the yard
in all tones. to match the silks with
which they may be combined. The
Greek key is the most used motive.
Stunning automobile coats OF rough
pongees with collars and cuffs and
sometimes hoods OF plaid taffeta have
been seen.
skirts Of one kind and coats of an
other are in high vogue. but there is
no hit and miss union Of the two. The
one invariably hanmonizes with the
other in tone and repeats definitely its
leading color.
White walking dresses will play an
important part in the coming season.
One should be sure that the white cloth
purchased will clean successfully. that
it has been thoroughly shrunk before
being made up.
The small checks shown in the Sham
tung pongees are extremely attractive.

suits for spring and cool summer days

on for the first time in this city, but ow-
ing to the fact that Samuel G.. Nixon and
Felix Isman are at the seashore recover
ing from the effects Of injuries received

moment to "tryout' the production ia At

Troubel in Afternoon
Although "The White Chrysanthemum

parently auspiclous conditions its troubles
began almost Immediately after leaving
Atlantic.
AS "a consequence of the late arrival Of
the scenery on the afternoon Of Saturday
the curtain at the Opera House was not
rung up until 290 o'clock and an evi
dence as to how Il was received It can be
stated that the audience that had gathered
in the theatre sat the entire performance
out, the curtain falling on the last act al
ESQ o'clock.

During the production N the afternoon
Miss Abarbanell sang her German song
and also a duet with Van Rensselaer,

down on Monday.

her work caused her well merited ap

ence and explained the situation to those
in attendance and praised the efforts Of

the contrary some of those cities
are doing a lot of pulling from us
They not only pull away some Of
