Miss Adele Richie, who is at the
Newark Theatre playing the name part
in Fascinating Flora" acknowledges
to being a happy woman. She gives
three reasons in explanation Of her
enviable state of mind. Chief of these
is that she is playing a role that she
likes best of all those in which she
has appeared. Next she is hughely
elated over the possession of the small
est Yorkshire terrier in America, Little
Dot. who has captured a dozen blue
ribbons for her Hall of Fame. And
last, and to q woman's mind by far
the best explanation for her happiness,
is the possession of what is probably
the most exquisite wardrobe of gowns
that can be displayed byiany devotee
of fashion in the country. For several
years Miss Richie has enjoyed the
reputation of being one, if not 1.-THE
one,' of the best-dressed women, either
on or off the stage, in America. In
matter of raiment, Miss Ritchie's taste
is par excellence, and so clever are her
ideas that she is no longer dependent
upon Calfet. Paguin, Redfern and other
Partisan modistes for her home, din
ner and stage gowns, but now, instead
of dashing across the oeean to submit
to the dictates of Mi Lord of the Rue
De Modiste, she submits designs of her
own creation to her New York tailor.
