a hundred years ago the number OF

only small STATS. Quite late in the

the buttonhole; cooked hat, powdered
hair. with pigtail and bagwig, and
gold headed cane" This, no doubt,
was something of a peacock, even for
early part of the nineteenth century,
the correct official garb was knee

silver buckles and often white tie.
One can scarcely imagine dress more

Full" which has been such a success
for over five months in Chicago and
two seasons in New YORK.. will be
given for the first time in this city
at Skeletons opera house tonight.
The story of Paid in Full is said
to be virile, appealing, and distinctly
original, and to be unfolded by set
of characters that are types of real
life, familiar to every one, and full
OF human interest. The scenes of the
play are laid in New York, and the
plot tells of the struggles of young
married couple woh live and keep
up appearances on small income.
The husband, who is a weak charac-
ter, rather than submit to the morti-
fication of poverty. steals from his
employer, and, when his theft is dis
covered, for his own protection is
willing to sacrifice his wife. Her In
nate goodness saves him and saves
herself. A production in keeping
with the artistic requirement of the
play is promised,
