Of late years the stage has come to be regarded more and more as the mirror of fashion. Naturally, the Ia test modes are to be seen there and "The Marionettes'', the new play in which the wonderful Nazimova is to appear at The Park, Monday, Feb. 5. is described as practically a per sonaIIy conducted tour through the gown and millinery marts of Paris. Tn the prevailing straight Iine'' eff fleets, the gowns worn by Nazimova are this style of drapery carried to the nth power. with a figure ideally suited to these effects, the Fnodistes have secured results that fully justify the popularity of the mode.
 The Pierre Wolff comedy is said to be cut to Nazimova's measure ad- rnirab,y as are the clothes she wears Her vogue has been won in work of quite-a different character, so it will re interesting to note the results of iSsr new departure. It is certain to be marked by a great individuality.
