uNREHEARsED ACTING.

The unforeseen takes place on the
stage just as elsewhere in spite of
all provision to forestall it. An actress
once related that part she played
called for her lying down to go to
sleep. Having nothing more to do or
say in the same act and feeling tired
she welcomed the chance for getting
little rest and actually allowed her
self to go into genuine sleep. She
not only slept, but she snored. And
the next day the newspapers criti-
cised her severely, saying that her
sleeping had been overdone and that
her snoring was not natural.
During college play a dramatic
teacher got into curtained bed on
the stage to prompt the actors. OF
course the bed was not real bed,
but a combination of folding lounge
and drapery and one side Of it was
very unsteady. The prompter discov-
cred this after she got into it and the
action of the play would presently
require one of the players to sit on
the edge of the supposed bed. So
she whisked herself out behind the
c6rtain and ducked under the lounge
to continue her prompting, literally
holding the lounge steady, neither the
audience nor the actors guessing the
solid appearance of a reliable bed.

New YORK, March 8, 1915.
With the first breath of Spring
weather, costumes begin to take on
Spring-like colorings. Hats in gayer
colors or trimmed with bright flowers
and feathers announce to the world
that Spring has returned, even when
the suit or dress remains Of the som.
Der colors of winter.
Covert cloth has been the novelty in
winter suits and is very popular in the
spring, for it is light in color and com.
bines with many things. A new cloth
called buck-skin covert is the newest
of this type.

cuL7IvATlNG GOOD DlcTloN.

If English were a crude, insufficient
means of expressing thought there
might be some reason for the unfin-
ished style of conversation that most
people use. There seems very little
difference between the speech of the
educated and of the untaught. New
expressions may be ripe and good and
not necessarily to be condemned as
slang. But there is no reason for re-
sorting to vulgarisms when good Eng
lish can carry meaning so much bet
ter 1t is possible to speak elegantly
without being stilted. The best way
to reinforce ones stock of good ex-
pressions and phrases is to improve
ones small remarks. The habit of
using the best words can grow, like
any other habit. The good old Wav.
erly novels of Sir Walter left
an impression of good language that
distinguished the past generation and
which it would be worth while to re.
store. G. H. K.

The Home Circle
By Celia Hord Kenny

Sometimes fate really appears to be
witty. At a presentation by an &C.
tress of poses illustrating various
moods and emotions made statuesque
by the effect of lights. just at the mo-
ment of exhibiting a presentation of
Embarrassment" the pedestal she
was standing on gave way and she had
to retire in real confusion. The stage
was darkened while the pedestal was
restored and when the actress re-
sumed her posing it was with an ex-
hibition of Observation-Disclosures she
really felt after her previous expert
ence.
A small town was once seeing a pre-
sentation Of Romeo and Juliet" Many
of the spectators had more awe than
knowledge of Shakespeare and they
were prepared to see something very
original-in which expectation they
were not disappointed. Towards the
end of the play, just as Romeo was
descending into the tomb to commit
suicide the local leader of the orches.
ira, having had no previous instruc-
tions regarding the music, suddenly
struck up very lively tune. Perhaps
he was relieving his own feelings after
the weight Of so much tragedy. But
it added to Romeo's passion in an I'M
expected way. He wanted to die to
melancholy music. He didn't want
the seeming inference that his dying
was joyful event, even if the orches-
ira leader did take this way of ex-
pressing relief that the end was near.
So Romeo vigorously leaped out of
the tomb and threw his hat at the
band leader and ordered him to play
something sad. The hat missed its
aim and struck a fat old gentleman
in the first row, hitting him in the
stomach and nearly causing him to
faint. The curtain was rung down
and the audience rose to go, some of
them blandly believing that it was all
Shakespeare and must therefore be
all right, even if strange. C. H. X.

chiffon, had a skirt which showed a
new evolution Of the tunic skirt. The
skirt was of blue chiffon taffeta with
two box-pleatings around the bottom.
The skirt was the full length In the
back, but the front was the depth of
the two box.pleated ruffles shorter,
and beneath we're two box-pleated
frills of white chiffon. The effect was
stunning.
Contrast is strong note in the color
combinations Of the season. Many
dark jackets we're shown with white
or light colored skirts. Wide leather
belts were used on some of the dresses.
One white serge dress had a red
patent leather belt which was very
effective indeed.
A white chiffon afternoon dress
showed the raglan sleeves with sur.
plice fronts of filet lace and a loose
panel of the filet lace in the back. The
unusual skirt was made of chiffon with
three graduated bands of shirred silk
applied. Each band was shirred upon
a cord top and bottom which gave the
band a very pretty finish.
A mode which is having quite q
vogue and is both graceful and effect
