Winter Tenants.

A pair of golden crowned kinglets have made their home this winter in the pine trees on a place near Hospital corner. They come to the house for suet, and stay near a large. part of the day, feeding and giving their song, which is much like that of a chickadee. In size they resemble the humming bird, being only four inches long. They are yellowish in color instead of the gray of the chickadee, with strong markings of white on the brown wings. There is a crown of brighter yellow on the head. They are rugged and able to endure a cold winter, all

NEW YORK, September 4.-As you
know. we look to our dancers today for
new fashions. Probably this is the first
time in sartorial history that this thing
has occurred.
Actresses have always led the way in
every country but ours In the showing
of new costumery, and during tho last
half dozen years the American stage
has initiated the European one.
Once an actress saved her money in
clothes by having them cheaply made
in the house by a small dressmaker.
trimming her own hats and being eco
nomical in other details: or she made
the company pay for them. and they OBJ
tained them Wholesale, second-han and
through other diverse channels that
were not responsible for brilliancy.
Watching Stage Clothes.
This method made little difference in
the costumery of plays that did not
represent social life. but when Charles
Frohman and his imitators began to
produce all the English and French
society plays. and our actresses insisted
upon wearing a vast variety of home
made clothes, our stage did not present
an edifying spectacle, sartorially.
For some reason difficult to explain,
1t took us long time to grasp the idea
which permeated the European stage
that clothes were a very important part
Of a well produced play. the action OF
which took place among women who
were supposed to be leaders in social
life
1t was said of our stage for a half
century that there were not a half
dozen actors who wore a dress suit as
the women who grew UP in that age
of bad stage dressing can remember
how longingly they looked at the long
limbed Englishmen who came to these
parts and wore their clothes as they
wore their roles-a part of themselves.
But after a while light burst in
upon the stage with such brilliancy that
no actress was allowed to appear in
amateur or secondhand costumery
that was travesty on the role she
played.
We have gone from extravaganza to
extravaganza and while the 5th ave-
nue. dressmakers initiate the French
ones in striving to dress the favorite
actresses of the hour, they do not make
as much money at it.
1t is to the dancers, however, that
the American public looks for the very
newest. most daring and brilliant thing
in costumery. This is an unusual con-
dition. 1t does not exist abroad in any
strength, and it is a bit perplexing to
the great French designers to feel that
they can express their ideas better
through women who fox trot perfectly
than through women who reach the
highest pinnacle in acting.

toward Farmer Browns house. II
brought back to Peter all the curiosity
which Johnny Chuck had awakened.
and for the moment he forgot every
thing else as he watched Sooty race
through the air. Against the sky Peter
could see Sooty very clearly
Peter watched until Sooty was right
over Farmer Browns house. Then an
astonishing thing happened. It seemed
to Peter as If something happened to
Sooty right in midair. One instant he
was racing through the air as only
Sooty can, and the next instant he SEEM
ed to be dropping straight down, dut-
tering queerily as IL something had
happened to his wings and he could no
longer fly. Down. down. down he
dropped and disappeared. He had fall
en- into the great chimney on the top
of Farmer Browns house! There
wasn't any doubt about 1t. Peter had
seen 1t happen with his own eyes. II
gave Peter queer feeling. For q long
time he waited to see if Sooty would
come out again, but he didn't, and at
last Peter was forced to believe that
something had happened, and that
never again would he see Sooty the
Swift or hear Sooty's joyous voice. The
thought made Peter feel bad Some
how he wanted to get away from
there. So with last look he turned
and hoped away through the Old
Orchard, and his thoughts were aall of
Sooty the Swift and the dreadful thing
he had seen happen. And with these
sad thoughts was a renewed curiosity
to know more about Sooty and how he
had lived.
