ENGLISH STAGE DRESSING.

Stage dresses have been criticized as
being much too magnificent to have
any affinity with real life, writes our
English correspondent, and especially
those worn by actresses playing the role
of duchesses, marchiOnesses, cOuntesses,
etc. 1t is d fact that women of high
rank dress much more simply than those
of the upper middle classes, except on
occasions of ceremony, and in such mat
tiers as furs and the more luxurious, in
innate articles of the toilet.
A favorite actress recently wore on
the stage most elaborate and extreme
ly lowcut gown of very thin gauze ana
perfect blaze of jewels. In the scene
she was supposed to be hostess in her
own house. after dinner, to two men
who have unexpectedly called. The in
ference is that she had dined alone, and
that she was in the habit of wearing
this mass of jewelry every morning.
The fact that she was widow in the
play made the circumstance the more
egregious. But possibly the idea was
that she should dress up to the title she
wore in the play. To dress down to It
would have been more true to real life.
At drawing-room meeting held last
week in the house of great lady two
thirds of the seats were occupied by
women immensely overdressed; the re-
naming third by representatives of the
aristocraey in the simplest possible eos
TUNES, all taiiormade and almost all
with short skirts.
