was the quaint nosegay Of white gar

she carried.
A daytime costume Of the period is
worn in the second act by Miss Collier.

Stella Mayhem doesn't make any
changes during her act. But she does
wear one gown in the evening and
another In the afternoon. Both OF
them have long and very dignified

she can look like an Apache brave.
The afternoon dress Is OF black

sleeves Of black Georgette. But
