| Each season sees an increase in the
| thought, care and money bestowed
| upon their gowns by the leading
be an unuual amount of artistic raj
ment worn upon the stage.
| Adelaide ThurSton, who has begun
| her tour in THE Love Affair." is a
star whose gowning has always been
a work of art. and for this new play
| she has brought from Europe, where
/ she spent the summer, some costumes
that will delight the feminine con-
/ tingent in her audiences who can ap-
preciate all the details as we'll as the
masculine portion who can heartily
| admire the result even though they
| understand little of the means taken
| to accomplish it.
| In one act she wears a dinner gown
of white satin charmeuse that brings
| out the full beauty of her face and
/ figure. 1t is made with a tunic of
real lace which is slightly shirred at
| the waist line, and has the lower part
| embroidered with pink roses This
tunic is turned under and droops over
| the lower skirt The corsage is of
| embroidered chiffon and is trimmed
| over the shoulders with pointed panels
I of chiffon, a large collar of which
starts on each side of the front and
reaches to the waist line in the back.
In striking contrast TO this is a
| tailor-made of espionage. the Jacket
| closing over a vest of pale red satin,
/ is cut away in front. The skirt has a
| 'V'-shaped panel in front, is plain on
I the sides, and side plated in the back.
| 1t is very smart and jaunty. But the
handsomest thing she wears is a din
| broidered with crystal This is a
! triumph of drapery, that most diff
| fcult task of the costumers, which is
$50 pleasing when cleverly done, and
SO irritating when it isn't The dress
/ has a one-piece effect, and both skirt
| and corsage are draped. The bodice
| opens in sthe front over a vest and
collar of net and the neck is finished
with narrow bands of black velvet
/ ribbon which cross in front under a
! long and Slightly plated at the wrist.
| Miss Thurston graced in these gowns
will be the attraction in this city at
the Grand for an engagement of one
/ performance, Monday evening.
