GOWN OF A THOUSAND
 MIRRORS"

Mary Gardens gown of a thousand mirrors" which she will wear here Mon day evening when she sings at the Jeff ferson under the auspices of the All Star Concerts" is perhaps the most wide- ly discussed gown that has ever been worn on the concert stage.
 The Mary Garden gown of thousand mirrors fairly eclipses the sun in daz- zling nuances and shades, the connoiseurs say, and the originality of its workman ship taxed the most expert coutur1eres in Paris, where the gown was made at a cost of $1 ,250.
 The tiny mirrors are cut in oval shape and the largest one is about the size or penny. Between the rows of mirrors are chains of cut brilliants. From each chain of brilliants hangs sparkling pendant clustered with diamonds.
 With the gown, Miss Garden wears gorgeous head dress of diamonds The head piece is woven into wreath and fits closely over the singer s-get this "tangerine- colored hair.
 Miss Gardens hair is like no other woman's hair in the world, for 1t isn red, and it isn't Titian it is "tangerine."
 In addition to the gorgeous gown of a thousand mirrors" Miss Garden Mon- day evening will wear her famous pearls, consisting of four strands. which are in gured by .'Lloyds" of New York for S750, 900.
 Also Miss Garden will wear her famous i've bracelets, without which she never appears in public, for each is sort or talisnan, mascot significant or some special event in her life.
 One of these bracelets is jade two are made solidly of diamonds and the others are mixtures of jewels.
 The one with 250 diamonds in it repre- sents her debut in French opera in Paris.
 Just what the other four syrnbolize mo- body but Mary knows and she won't tell.
 An interesting bit of local color" as 1t were Is added to Miss Gardens gown of thousand mirrors by a suggestion made by a very popular Birmingham man, MT. Robert Leslie Newman, who has recently returned to Alabama to live after spending several years in the west
 Mir Newman, in speaking of his in- tense desire to see Miss Gardens gown of a thousand mirrors" Is also very anx- ious to know where she got the idea of the gown.
 'NThe reason I am so anxious to know Is because of my interest in the Chinese Dragon which, as everyone knows, mir TOTS this gown of a thousand mirrors idea" said Mir Newman. There are only three of these Chinese Dragons in America, and one of them is at Rock Springs. Wyo., where lived for mum

Der of years. I had the pleasure Of fur- nishing the thousands of tiny mirrors Tor that special Chinese Dragon, the blts of glass being artistically incrusted in the most delicate of Chinese silks, thus forming the ensemble
 T learned great deal about the Chi nese during my residence at Rock Springs through a very cultured Chinese gentAe- man, An Coon, who at that tune was building the Great Northern Railway all with cooley labor. An Coon was a frequent visitor to my home, and we found him quite entertaining and agree able. l was just wondering if MISS Garden, with her artistic nature and cultivated intellect, had not gathered from the Chinese Dragons the idea for her wonderful gown Certainly 1t was 8 very clever idea, and has proven most effectiye.''
