The fairy in question-let us name

Joseph sheehan's World Tour-A

When Hans Christian Anderson and
the great Grimm laid down their pens
after writing their last fairy tales, it
was by no means sign that fairies
had for all time made their exit from

Harounal Raschid creatures OF the
Arabian nights had nothing at all on

transpiring today.
The fairies of old were generally
slim and dainty creatures, made for
slipping noiselessly through space,
dancing on the fragile texture of leaf
and drifting in and out of keyholes.
The fairy of this particular tale, 1t is
true, does not exactly conform with
the foregoing specifications, but the

They had been away for nearly three
years.
Miss Waldorf is a born collector and
delights in picking up" rare and beau.
tiful objects. While on her tour around
the world she secured many beautiful
and serviceable articles, including
ornaments, jewelry and dress goods,
and as the character she assumes in
"Graustark," the Princess Yetive, ad.
mits of elaborate dressing, she has
employed few of her many finds" in
forming creation of magnificent
splendor.
The clasps which confine her long
ruby mantle at the throat are in real
|ity Hindoo bridal ornaments. which
rarely find their way out of India. Only
the high caste maidens are permitted
to wear them, and they do so in way
that would drive Western bride to
distraction.
Green, deep, lustrous green, would
seem to be the mascot color OF India,
and Miss Waldorf brought with her
one of the famous good luck" dresses
in which the desired tint is supplied
by beetles wings.
However, one forgets all such mat.
tiers in marveling at the wonderful
skill with which these cleaning, fflmy
bits are inserted among the gold
thread tracery. BY what process they
are preserved is another of these craft
secrets which the artisans of the
Orient keep strictly to themselves.
The fabric upon which the decora.
ton is worked is one of these clinging
Eastern stuffs that look as II a good
puff of wind could annibilate 1t, yet it
is encrusted thickly all over the front
with mysteriously symbolic pattern
that requires thousands of yards of
gold thread and quantities OF wings.
1t is in the last act of "Graustark"
when Miss Waldorf appears in all the
regal splendor of her court costume
that she excites the envy of the FEM
mime portion of the audience and many
a longing glance is cast at the su.
preme art of the dressmaker as ex.
emplified by the magnificent creation
worn by Princess Yetive.

first company to give a performance

then in the open air. Aside from the
members of the English and American

After leaving Delhi they spent two
weeks in Ceylon and then sailed to

weeks there sailed for San Francisco.

factory of which there has been
little notice taken and which is
probably unknown to two
thirds Of the people and that is
a violin factory owned, operat-
ed and managed by w. j. An
derson. Mr.. Anderson has
been making violins for some
time and has sold several for
fancy prices but he is very
modest and but q very few
knew of his ability. Near
ly all of the wood is shipped in
but Mr.. Anderson says the best
toned instrument he has made,
was made from native wood.
All the instruments are shaped
from the old masters and are
surely fine looking and have
an excellent tone. Mr.. Ander.
son does not devote all Of his
time to it but makes them in
his spare time. A visit to his
workshop would we'll repay
anyone interested in fine musi-
cal instruments.
