THE GAYETY.
The Hastings Show.

A show that is fun Of dash and go; Of
rafting good comedy; of choice song
numbers, interpreted for the most part
by good voices; and possessing that I'm
portant feature OF burlesque-an attrac-
tive chorus-is Harry Hastings show at
the Gayety this week. OF course, Harry
Hastings heads the entertainment him
self, but he IS ably backed up in his ef-
forts firstly, by Miss Viola Sheldon. IN
a strong singing part full of vocal op-
pOrtunity. which she takes good care of;
and, secondly, by Tom Coyne, in a roll
licking Irish comedy role. Oh yes; the
aforementioned chorus comes cut strong
throughout, and created quite a hit last
night by walking up and down the aisles
during one of the songs, a la 'Follies. "
The oHo included three or more acts OF
a goodly quality, the best of the batch
being an illustrated song number.

Princess Street Costume.

From the Philadelphia North American.
1t Is decidedly new and is very likely
to achieve a sartorIal triumph Of the
season. 1t is cut in a princess style, all
in one, and yet it Is capable of q dual
design And 1t is Of fur.
Its design is one that challenges the
heretofore unassailable position OF coat
and skirt.
A line which resembles the lower
edge of the coat Is preserved by cords
or stitching, and the delightfully."- fitted
appearance Is kept by seams and darts.
Revers or lapels give a coat suggestion.
and the sleeves generally carry out the
idea Of the rest Of this novel costume.
which is worn over a waist. 1t is not
taken off, and is for street wear ONLY

THE LYCEUM.
WafsOn's Big show,

Watson's big show, with the irrespress-
ible BILLY" in the stellar role, is the at
traction at the New Lyceum this week.
The chorus is a large one, and furnished
not little of the comedy,
Two farces and a singing act constitute
the show, and the singing act could as
well as not be worked into the farces, and
neither the act nor the show would suf-
fer. But nevertheless both were good.
Miss Alice Gilbert, in the principal fem
mime role, was excellent, and wen much
merited applause.

Black and White.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Among the many reasons which explain
the popularity OF ermine this winter is the
remarkable vogue for black and white.
Black, Of course is always dlgniied and
there goes with 1t an air of refinement
which supplies the charm striven for by
all women. But when a touch Of white is
added. either as fur, lace. or tulIe, there
is a certain relief which gives an all-round
satisfaction.
This combination distinguishes many
costumes for day and evening wear. II
is always in good taste and generally very
becoming. When in doubt. wear black

first is an attempt to set up our own

how very common is that mistake. as well
as the attempt to measure the enjoyment
Of others by our own.

Strong Arguments Needed To

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19-Business
men OF Philadelphia must show by
most convincing arguments next
Thursday that there is a real and
urgent need for a 35-foot channel in
the Delaware River from that city to
the sea.
The opposition to the project here is
strong, and it will not be less even If
the army engineers Board of Review
reports i'm favor of the deeper channel
instead of SO feet. as the engineer board
has determined. The claim here is
that the 3O-foot-channel has not been
completed. and why ask for a 35-foot
depth first In fact. there is not in
reality "a 3O-foot channel, because it has
shoaled i'm a number Of places. As
Major Deakyne. the engineer in charge
of the Delaware River improvements.
points out i'm his letter. the Board of
Engineers, not including himself, holds
these views:
"In view of the fact that work has
been carried ON for number of years
i'm an effort to get 80 feet. and that
this has not been obtained the
board believes that any effort to secure
a greater depth than that contemplated
by the existing project should be under
taken tentatively"
With a board already committed to
n Ss-foot plan as being all that Phila-
delphia is entitled to, it viii be seen
that the business men have a hard
task ahead They viii have the CO.

remained loyal to Philadelphia inter-
