Stopping Rebels; Gates Of
the City Are Closed.

Hongkong, China, April 28.-Only
official messages are being received
today from Canton, where q revolu-
tionary outbreak occurred last night.
These are OF disquieting character.
The revolutionists have obtained a
quantity Of explosives and the gov
ernment has asked the steamship COM
pany plying to that city to suspend
their service lest arms be smuggled
in to the disturbers who are still at
large. Many of the leaders have been
imprisoned.

er and his followers who, carrying
revolvers and wearing badges, boldly
proclaimed their purpose, and sur

forts of others to extinguish the
flames.
The revolutionists were armed with
rifles and bombs and fought desper-
ately.
Gates Of City are Closed.
Several were killed and many arrest
ed. The troops were commanded by
Admiral Il and they suffered consid-
erably, colonel being among those
wounded. The soldiers finally got con-
troll of the situation and emergency
measures to prevent another outbreak
were taken. The gates of the city were
closed and search made in suspected
quarters for arms and ammunition.
The fire at the palace burned for two
hours doing great damage. The
viceroy escaped harm. A strict cen
sorship has been established and only
official exchanges between Hongkone
and Canton are permttted.
Thousands Of residents OF Canton
are fleeing to this city. Those who ar
rived say that anarchy Is rife among
the soldiers at Canton. Many OF the
troops completed their service today
and these men are particularly feared
Anarchists have been furthering their

When something called him swift away,
To leave me. lonely, waiting here?
I wonder how he went, and where,
And is his new abode so fair
He has forgot his earth friends dear?
I wonder why he went away?
All! grief too deep for words to say,
Age old yet ever poignant pain
When those long one perforce are two,
While love whose ightest smile could WOO
Must call and plead in vain!

height in her second dress, wound gray net
with silk fringes round her gray, steel
trimmed gown. This net winding cut off,
interrupted, the single line of height. The
idea employed was much like that in the
case of tall building, the height of which
is concealed by sections of stone which,
placed at intervals, are made to jut out and.
break the straight surface of the front
also caused Miss Gordon to wear an enor-'
nous black hat with quill two yards long,.
which helped to make her look even less tall,
One of the best effects have gained was
with the eight girls who sang the popular
Hello People" song in Havana" In Lon
don, the girls wore tailor made Suits To
give them youth with big Y in the Ameri-
can production, got hold of eight children's
dresses, heightened them, put dash of vivid
red in them, and topped the whole thing
with foppy hats. A foppy hat always
heightens the youthful effect.
Color of Shoes
ON the stage, black shoes can never be
worn to good advantage with colored
dresses. The bad effect of such a practice
may be noticed in the first act of "]udy
Forgot" where the feet of the chorus seem
all out of proportion. Where the dress is
definite color, the shoes should in every case
be of the same color; where the dress is
vague color, the shoes should be the color of
the dress trimmings. Stockings should in
all circumstances match the shoes. In the
street, a woman should always wear black
or brown shoes. They have secret, and it
reads, 1--WE hide your feet" A velvet dress
and hat trimmed with flowers is a foolish
sight, always. A fur hat or a toque goes
best with velvet always.
All the actresses at the Coincide Fran
caise-Mesdames Grainer, Lavaillere, Lam
feline, etc.-have mastered the secrets of
dress. German actresses have not. Wen
neSe actresses are even more chic than the
ParlslenneS. Italian actresses are not suited
to modern clothes, because of the general
fullness of their figures. The young Spanish
actresses have learned many of the Partisan
actresses tricks; while the Russians are
nStreSSeS. of all the secrets of furS and vel
vets. Taking women off the stage, the
American women to be seen on Fifth-ave
between eleven in the morning and one in
the afternoon are, to my mind, the best
dressed in the world, while Englishwomen
are never sartorially fit before six o'clock
The stage may be regarded by women as
guide to dress; but not as model. have
attempted here merely to point out some of
the tricks and secrets of stage dress that
may lend themselves to purposes of adapta-
ton beyond the footlghts. On the stage,
dresses may be designed to supplement dia-
logue usually, may be worked up to chro-
matte clmaxes, and may be made actually
to make the character, or help make it, as in
the cited case of Madam NaZimova, OFF
the stage, they may often accomplish quite
as much-if you know the secrets.

Making Them Tall or Short


w considerable attention because of the
constant becomingness of her gowns. The
way these gowns were designed, and the
manner in which the effects were gained, may
interest her women admirers. When she
came to America to appear in one of the
Casino shows, she had no definite ideas as to
how she wished to dress on the stage. AS all
know, she is very tall woman. persuaded
her to wear short dresses, in spite of the fact
that she believed they might accentuate her
height To Offset the latter effect, had the
skirts made ankle length, but very full, and
then proceeded to secure the general effect
by colors. To bring out the colors in Miss
Gordon's hair (chestnut) and complexion
Gairly high), took tobacco leaves in all
their shades and ranged them from the pal
est of pinkish browns at the top to the deep
est of browns at the bottom.
This color scheme, when worked into
dress, cut off height in splendid way mas
much as the dark coloring at the bottom of
the skirt succeeded in hiding the wearers
ankles and feet. If the colors had been in
verted, the whole effect aimed at would have
been destroyed. To rob Miss Gordon of her

clothes. Although a so termed "freak"
dresser, she obtains truly wonderful effects.
She actually changes her entire physical ap-
pearance in her various roles by means of
her dresses. In "A Dolls House." for exam
pie, as Nora, she dresses very simply, with
her hair draped at the nape of her neck, and
her figure takes on the desired appearance
of shortness. In "The Comet" she is
nothing but lines, which give her height and
slenderness. In this play too using trick
of Bernhardt's, Nazimova builds her collars
up with rubber, which makes her face seem
much smaller than it is and gives it the de-
sired look of dissipation. AS Hedda Gabler,
she builds her hair high and compromises
between draperies and lines, to look best the
neither positive nor negative Ibsen heroine.
AS Countess Coquette, she dresses in strictly
up to date clothes to set off her alluring fig
ure. AS the result of these sartorial secrets,
an audience feels the character Nazimova
is portraying the moment she comes on the
stage.
With Mrs. Fiske, who is not so adept in
these clothes tricks, an audience is not so
quick to grasp the character. Watch these
two actresses and note the effect of their
clothes as have outlined the case here, and
see for yourself.
When Miss Marie Tempest played Becky
Sharp in London, she created wonderful
impression by her rare appreciation and ap-
plication of mentality to dress. She dressed
Becky in crescendo, literally building up the
character gradually with clothes as we'll as
with mind externally, that is, as well as in
terna1ly. A bow struck jauntily here Gre
ated the impression of sauciness, a pink rib
bon there created softer impression, and
so on.
