There is Temperament III the Very Flow
Of Leslie CarterS DrdperieS

riotous curls that are part Of this little
actresses charm is the famous "Billie
Burke fllet," made of three squares of
Russian lace mounted on silver gauze and
embroidered with small white beads, aud
turquoises
Another pretty frock worn in MRS.
Dot was designed for Miss Burke after
Callot model. This little dress is
copy of one worn by the Empress
Josephine in the days when her slender
loneliness first caught Napoleon's eye.
There is a lace overdress which hangs,
slim and straight over a very narrow slip
of thin pink silk and the lace overdress
is caught in just beneath the bust and
arms with broad pink silk sash at the
top of which is sewed wreath Of tiny
pink roses. Could anyone imagine a
frock more sweetly simple and charming?
Still another gown worn by Miss Burke
In Mrs. Dot" Is Of Lierre lace over white
satin, court train of the lace falling
from the shoulders to the floor. With
this gown is worn q hat Of natter blue
brocade and pink roses, with long stream
ers of black velvet coming from under
the wide brim.
Emotional Gowns for Great Scenes.
Tempestuous is the word to apply to
Leslie Carter's costumes. Never for one
moment do. you forget the woman in
considering the gown, but somehow her
very draperies seem to be instinct with
the fire and intensity of supreme temper
ament. The costume designed for a great
emotional scene Is not always elaborate.
Sometimes it is nunike In its simplicity
or somberness, but even If it be but
the most ordinary skirt and blouse Of
dark serge somehow or other 1t will be-
on the actress who wears it-anything
but ordinary. There will be trick of
collar-a certain cut Of shoulder bit
of white cuff against the dark fabric
that will make a picture Of this very
ordinary serge skirt and blouse and give
1t meaning and an expression that or
binary, workaday clothes never have.
Look at the costumes Mrs. Fiske wore
in :'Salvation Nell;" at the prim, bust
ness-ike frocks of Blanche Bates In THE
Fighting Hope" yet these gowns, worn
by these women in these thrilling scenes,
were distinct with personality and ex-
pressed better than any frills or furbe-
lows could have done the intense feeling
of the emotional parts they costumed.
The Feminine Frock and Its Pro-
totyDe.
Two actresses there are who are al
WayS-1n Whatever role they are cast
deliciously feminine and appealing These
are Miss Elsie Ferguson and Miss Fran
ces Starr. Photographs Of both these &C.
tresses in new costumes worn In PLAYS
Of this season, are reproduced on today's
page. Miss Ferguson Is always sweet,
always expressive Of gentleness, tender
ness and sympathetic womanhood. Her
costumes emphasize this appeal. Over
the beautiful dress OF chiffon and chan
tilfy lace, is thrown one Of Miss Fer
guson's superb evening wraps-a model
Of velvet richly embroidered with gold
thread. The small hat with it's burden
of heavy plumes Is worn off the face to
show the actress lovely hair which is
one Of her most striking beauty points.
The gown worn by Miss Frances Starr
is especially lovely and is replete with
feminine appeal and charm. 1t Is of
chiffon over very thin, clinging satin, the
