Of Mabel Taliaferro in .'Sprngtime. The
characters, with a single exception, move

Snuff-colored breeches, plumb-colored

gins, coonSkin caps and all the hundred
and one other eccentric bits of wearing
apparel in vogue century ago are worn
by Miss Taliaferro's company of excellent
actors. with the result that ''Springtime,

remarkable play seen in years.
Notwithstanding the elaborateness of
these costumes, the most striking figure

This is the character impersonated by
Mabel Taliaferro. She appears in the
first scene in a white dress and white
poke bonnet OF the sort Worn by our
great-grandmothers. She does not change
her garb materially throughout the course
of the play. Instead of appearing ordi-
nary, would seem natural from a de-
scription of the clothes she wears, she
appears extraordinary, because of the
pictorial contrast between her garments
and those of the characters about her.
