 Chinese Costumes Invade Manhattan.
 There is not a particle of doubt that the costumes of the two Chinese plays now running in New York will have a very decided effect on the fashions of next season. Already Chinese jewelry, Chinese embroideries and draperies are beginning to show themselves in the shops. It Is not likely that the shapeless, baggy trous- CTS of the little Chinese lady, nor her pigtail, nor her distorted, misshapen feet will be seriously contemplated as style features to be initiated; but the splendid Oriental colorings and embroideries and some of the minor details of Chinese costume are very picturesque and pleasing and are well worthy of reproduction In Occidental dress.

Tn the amazing gown of cloth Of gold which clings with sheath-like pertinacity, and the draped mantle of black chiffon embroidered with spid- CTS and spider-webs in gold, worn in the last act, Mme. Nazimova seems to be part of the night itself as she melts away into the blackness beyond the garden gate and takes up her dreary way to the desert-and obliv- ion. In the second act, Mime. Nag imova wears another sinuous cloth of gold gown draped over with scarf of brown chiffon, and the Egypt Ian manner of doing her hair en- hances the suggestion of the gown. Delightful Debutante Frocks Worn by
 Billie Burke.
 It is positively a relief to turn from the atmosphere of horror and tragedy in the Nazimova play to the entertain ing adventures of the Mind the Paint Girl" Billie Burke is the idol of the debutantes who faithfully copy her gowns, her poses, her coiffure arrange ments and everything except her charming voice through which the sunshine seems to tricl<le audibly, and which is beyond the efforts of her most faithful imitators. In the Mind the Paint Girr' Miss Burke wears the usual number of fetching jeune file creations. One of the prettiest is a simple little thing made of fine net and crystal embroidery. The Mediei collar and long sleeves give it an air of primness belied by the adorable hat of lace and roses. Another at tractive gown in this play is of chiffon and embroidery, and shows the three fiounced skirt which promises to be @ strong feature of the summer sea son.
 One of the things which Miss Burke is noted for on and of. the stage, is her footwear. She is always daintily and appropriately shod and her slip pers. pumps and buttoned boots must keep her tiring woman busy, for every pretty pair is wrapped in tissue paper when not in use. The actress who Is sincere in her dressing as well as in her acting, always wears the correct sort of footwear with hher costumes, and does not commit the absurdity of ap- bearing with satin slippers under a walking skirt, or wear beaded strap slippers when smart buttoned boots would pc the coiNeHlloiul lequne- ment in real life.

The 1.-the slenderness of the actress is empha- sized by the particular gown illus trated on today's page and of course the figure is made to look even taller and more slender by it's pose upon the stairway. This gown is an adapta tion of a Poiret model brought out early in the season, and only a woman of utmost grace and slenderness could venture to adopt the Poiret girdle at the hips The train ending in drag ging tassel, and the loose sleeves form ing part of the bodice drapery, are features of interest in this costume, as well as the arrangement of the sash which gives an Oriental suggestion to the gown. The coiffure ornament of pearls with the outstanding, gradu ated plume is especially chic and is daringly youthful. No woman over thirty would dare to wear such an ornament

And every important star of course numbers half dozen entrancing cos tunes from Partisan hands. Even the members of the chorus are often Paris clothed now, for the stage wields such a mighty influence in matters sartorial, that theatrical man hgers are just as particular that the feminine members of the company shall be perfectly gowned as they are that the scenery shall be correct in every detail. Many women go to the theater--if truth be told, simply and solely to study the gowns of the play and the play that shows off a dozen expensive and fashionable modern costumes is sure to prove a winner with the matinee contingent.

A larger bag at the right is of Mandarin blue em- broidery, with a cord handle in shades of blue and silver. The clasp of dull metal is a reproduction of ancient Chinese ornament. The large bag on the left, in the lower row, is in shades of palest lemon, pink, copper and orange, with dashes of deep blue. It has a very ornamental frame of rose and green gold and the slender chain is set with cabuchons of Chi nese jade.

 % of bizarre and unique sartorial effects which have heretofore been seen only on the stage in comic opera, and in the windows of places where fancy dress costumes are to be had. Two gorgeously staged Chinese plays now running in New York, and an other which for six months has been the sensation of Europe have aroused the vehement interest in things Or- ental and have brought about a frenzy of enthusiasm for Chinese col ors, Chinese ornaments, Chinese ef- fleets in furniture and even Chinese pets. The fascinatingly ugly Chow dog has replaced the erstwhile adored Boston terrier and Irish terrier on the fashionable leading string and has even threatened the popularity of the tiny Pommeranian so long beloved of the elite. Pekingese dogs. also are the mode and those who cannot afford these expensive little canines are giv- ing to ordinary terriers, spaniels and collie dogs fetching Chinese pet names such as Yong Soc Row. Chow Wan, Moy Fah Lay, Tso and other names borrowed from the characters of Chin ese dramas.
 And now that everything Chinese is in high favor it Is beginning to be realized how really beautiful some of the Oriental decoration is; how rich the colorings, how graceful the de- signs and how effective the combina- tion of the two. Nothing more beau tiful could be imagined than the ex- quisite blend of peach, lemon and orange hues in the costume of Miss Doris Keane in the Affairs of Ana toll" Her Chinese gown in these col ors has been the hit of the season and the delicate beauty of it's colors has eclipsed even the gorgeous costumes of Miss Viola Allen in the Daughter of Heaven" and the brilliant costumes worn in the "Yellow Jacket" another Chinese play now occupying the at

NOTES AND NOTIONS
THE RED GERANIUM IN HER
 MUEE.

 "FEW winters ago every woman
 who made any pretense toward 7 modishness wore a white gar denia against the dark fur of her neckpiece. This year the scarlet geranium is the thing and these erst- while inexpensive blossoms. genuine and artificial, have made a surpris- ing leap in price. The touch of bril- liant red against the dark fur of neck piece or huff is very chic-now that red is the fashion-and the bright hue is also cheerful and warm on snappy winter days. Red is extremely fashionable this midwinter season and is seen in hat feathers. neckbows, and even whole costumes, a. peculiar brick red shade in broad cloth being the fad of the hour.
