 In this bill Blondelle and Carr will introduce their downto date travesty on the good old "legit" in addition to several new musical numbers of the same class, that have already assured them the hearty appreciation of the people of this city.
 Following this sketch, MT Carr will produce on Thursday evening another new comedy entitled ''Joe's Dilemma v

to analyze at distance, and by no means striking or unbecoming
 Another very successful color scheme was in smoky gray brown with a mere hint of dull rose red. The mix ture of red was so slight that the ma terial was not in the least bright or aggressive, yet it added delightful warmth to the neutral brown and added character, Some of the blue and green mixtures were good too, good new shades of green giving novelty 10 the ever popular color scheme, and there were also dark grey and purple mix lures and smoky grays shot with vel Jewish brown which were admirable. Sometimes three or more colors enter into the mixture, and the manufacturers have achieved genuine triumphs in the blending of these colorings.
 Not so many buttons are used on the tailored out.ofdoor garments for this fall, but the buttons that are used, par ticularly on dressy coats, are very handsome and quite costly. 1t is noth- ing unusual for some of these buttons to cost $2 or $S apiece. Much braiding will be used during the com ing season, chiefly in flat, panel effects and large motifs Frogs and passemen- tcrie ornaments are also shown on the dressier models, sometimes loops of cord stimulating buttonhols or huge but. tons of jet, or in jewel effects These jewel buttons. with colored stones set in rims of dull silver or bronze metal, are very smart.
 It is reported from Paris that the large hats now worn have very high crowns with immense choux of wide moire ribbon. To give the contrast for which every one strives, there is the facing of black velvet. But perhaps the newest note in millinery is sounded in two small models which Paris milli

ners are showing. One is three cor nered style, worn, not as the Napoleon of few years ago, but with the cor. ner over the right eye. This gives an attractive curved line at the front and side. The crown is large soft one of silk covered with net. Moire is also seen On the turned.up parts fac ing of velvet appears. Aigrettes give a fluffy height to the side and one mod el and long, drooking plume.
 Another small shape is draped tur- ban with the folds of silk plush or moire pointing toward the front. Those give lateral width and soft effect at the sides The Egyptian lines of headdress are very well carried out by this model, and are emphasized by two lings of large beads in black or colors which drop from the sides over each ear. The Egyptian idea, by the way, is also shown in new evening scarf of marqusette in neutral color which is embroidered in colored beads in a conventional design
 While vanity bags are to be had in every known leather, the light and dark colored shades are the most pop ular. The bags are little smaller than those of year ago
 It is one of the fancies of the year to thread lingerie with wider ribbons than formerly, so that the bows are of good size and the ribbon bands in proportion to the rest of the garment
 Canvas hats, wrapped with muslin or silk scarfs, are becoming and light
 Veils which are used for morning wear are usually of an extremely large woven mesh.
 Many of the smartest gowns have the shawl effect on the front and with them scarfs are worn, drawn closely over the shoulders.

Seats will go on sale on the goth and prices will be popular There is no doubt that the Teal company made the hit of the season on their last visit to Globe, and should do even bet ter this year, as they have stronger show in every particular.
 They are now on their way east, af- ter breaking all coast records, and standing them up wherever they have appeared.
 The principal singing soubrette is Miss Elma Ellwood, who has just closed with the Princess Musical Com edy company in Frisco.
 She is beautiful girl, of great tal- ent and acknowledged to be one of the most clever soubrettes in the business.
 Miss Grace Wolf is the dancing sou brette, and is the holder of the world $ championship for lady buck and wing dancing, won in competition from Miss Lula Besson at Madison Square Gar den.
 Comedians are Raymond Teal, Cash Knight, George Burton and Sam Owens. The baritone is Orvey J. Pist.
 Corinne Carkeek, Bessie Graves and Virginia Ellis have the leading female parts, while among the famous Teal chorus are included Edna Martin, Elsie Hurter, Teddy La Rue, Bessie Taller mand, Rose Bunnin, Clae Davis, Bes- sic Coulter, Mae Stead, Evelyn Casey and Sophie Marie.

around above the hem with huge cart wheels, made of the material drawr OCT cords. They remind one of tn, voluminous skirts with these detached trimmings which were worn in civi war days.
 Among the most appropriate gowns for the college girl is that of the lin gerie guimpe. Since the shirtwaist has been dropped to some extent, as usual at this time of the year, or hSs been ranked as a useful garment only and has ceased to claim attention as q dressy affair, the guimpe has gained iu favor It is, indeed, the outcome of the all-in.one froek. The devotee of the eleanly lingeric blouse has not found it possible to go over to the en tire dress of silk, of wool or even of unwashable linen with any degree of warmth or enthusiasm. She naturally demands some washable substitute in at least the collar and yoke,
 Some women consider the guimpe more economical than the shirtwaist because of the saving in the laundry bills, but 1t is doubtful whether the guimpe habit is any less expensive, when it is considered that numerous guimpes are necessary for one frock and that much greater care is required in their laundering, But, after all, gumpes will be extensively worn by college girls during the coming season, particularly with gowns for more dressy occasions.
 The early autumn materials this sea son show an unusual number of attrac- tive things for the outing costume, thanks to the modishness of the rough surfaced woolens for fall street wear, and very handsome color combinations enter into some of the soft, rough, mixed stuffs. One line of materials on this order, with wide, loose, diago- nal weave, attracted particular atten- ton in one of the fashionable shops. One of the most charming pieces was of very soft, dull green which is hard to name, having dash more of gray tone than reseda. With this med. ium dark green was mixed very lightly and equally soft bluish amethyst, the faded amethyst that was Parisian fad during the spring. The two eolorings tone perfectly with each other and pro dueed delightful neutral tone hard

I KEW YORK, Setember ll.--Nevei 7. styles more unsettled and never 4 ,be designers and makers of dresses ,rs more freedom to display their in I .6ye genius than at the present 4-. The features which stand forth rsyer. amid this bewildering variety | .,vles and effects are the overskirts, !, separate bodice, the high crown inc extravagantly long waistline l tbe pannier. These features epito- !, the fashion news from Paris for 1 .p and winter styles. The return of overskirt should be welcomed by I textile manufacturers as we'll as consumers. The use of overSkirts
 ,,ns the use of more material in s,.,ss. but it also gives women an .oortunity to dress beeomingly, as
 .,rkirts are invariably becoming to .,lv. every woman. A clever hand arrange folds cunningly so as to .nise figure defects and reveal beau. nj lines. and for sonic reason or asr the overskirt almost always gives aunty, youthful effect to skirt of l hiking length.
 Where overskirts are not expressly ,dded, they are suggested by the of the skirt or the manner of Gaming. sometimes the deep hip yoke ending down over the pleated hounce ieep points to give a tunic effect. ,v of the separate skirts in the ,5y.to wear costumes are made in this ,r the tunic closing at one side of
 front under row of fancy but IS This makes very graceful walk skirt and the model is sure 10 be reat favorite.
 significant evidence of new era \ dress is the shorter skirt. which is seen on quite dressy toilettes for Asrnoon wear. The limp, scant, trail * directoire skirt is practically q ng of the past, for which due thanks Iad be given to the makers ot fash There is clearly tendency to go the other extreme and attempts are ,,g made to introduce the very wide Fr shirred into belt, and Paquin boldly thrown out a challenge to s followers of the skin fitting style producing skirt many yards yund and shirred at the waist line a deeply pointed bodice. This '4qping skirt is trimmed all the way
