Naughty Marietta"

It is gratifying to note, in this day of theatrical progress, that public taste is constantly improving and people of judgment will not be attracted to the theatre by the announcement of a mu- scal play unless there is the prospect of something more than pretty women, expensive costumes and more or less humorous lbretto There must be mu- sical numbers of some value. and these are what are promised in the new comic opera entitled, Naughty Marietta ,'' which comes to the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday. matinee and night.

Canoes Again In Vogue.

Never since the days when Napoleon
was holding his court at the Tuilleries has
the cameo been in such repute at II is
at present, and Il its reign is fated to be
short. as is that of nearly every fashion
NOWADAYS, 1t will. nevertheless. be very
brilliant one.
Canoes in hats. canoes on the new
gowns. canoes clasping the belt at the
waist and canoes round the wrists are
the order Of the day. and old-fashioned
mice-infested shops in the dingieSt quar-
ters of Paris and London are being ran
sacked for these treasures by women who
have not the envied possession OF sup
ply already.
The pink and creamy tints OF the cameo
are wonderfully becoming. as they make
a delightful accompaniment to the even
ing gown in no matter what color.
The most seductive hats or today are
those which are trimmed with the won
derful iong-stranded feathers which must
have nearly exhausted the ostrich sup
piy SO numerous and SO largely used are
they.
One of the prettiest schemes consists OF
a high. round. pierrot-crowned hat or
vanilla coloring. which is entirely hidden
by a single feather whose every strand
is either gray or dull soft pink, and each
of which hangs perfectly straight. An
other handsome feather hat Is OF dead
white straw, surrounded with a rich
white plume. and one high. standing
''pleureuse." also white. but with the tips
tinged with different shades OF silver
gray, both light and dark.

ALITERARY REPUTATION
Effect of Change in Taste Upon an
Authors Fame.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
The vicissitudes Of literary reputation
are as inexplicable as they are unex-
pected. Some writer's acclaimed by their
contemporaries are forgotten by poster
ity. others unregarded in their lifetime
achieve post-humous honor. and even the
greatest and most enduring renown may
suffer temporary eclipse as literary tastes
change from generation to generation.
Dante himself illustrates the truth OF
his own words put into the mouth OF the
Umbrian miniature painter Oderfsi. in

earthly renown is but blast Of wind
that now from hence and now from
thence is blown Shortly after Dante
death the "Divina Commedia," was so
highly esteemed that professorships Were
founded to explain 1t. but In the height
OF the renaissance 1t was thought de-
ficient In elegance and address. and In
the seventeenth century its fame was well
nigh eclipsed.
