Know Your Pose and Stick to It.
A prime helper will the classic scarf he
to picturesque poses in the boxes. Every
body who is anybody nowadays has her
characteristic pose" In other words
every woman knows which is her best
foot and puts it foremost. There is the
charming lady who is famed for her love-
ly back, and who generously sits through
opera nights with her beauty point turned
TO a grateful public, while she views what
she can of the stage over one shoulder.
And the woman who knows she has eX-

And Those Opera Coats.
King Midas himself could compass moth
ing more luxurious for his women folk
than some Of the wraps ready for opera
nights. One who has been privileged to

and thriving hair dealers will assure you.
The Opera Hood-and Good Night.
Last of all, when the curtain has rung
down and the music has finally faded to
silence, be sure and linger in the lobby
to see the hoods donned.
There will be hoods that will ride home
in carriages, in cabs-even in trolley cars.
For never was fashion SO enthusiastic
