This heroic bust of Enrico Car uso, created by the noted sculptor, Onorio Ruotolo, of New York, will be presented to the Metropolitan Opera House by the Italian Musi- cal League, of which the wonder ful tenor was the Honorary Presi dent, appointed for life. The bust impersonates the great tenor as he will be seen by succeeding gen. erations, through the legend, which will undoubtedly surround his name. However, the bust bears a striking resemblance to Caruso as he was in the flesh. As the Greeks and Romans crowned their "Livi Cantori," so Ruotolo has crowned with laurels the greatest singer of the age.

 Ho, Hum!
 Our own busy statistician has figured out that the time wasted by the ladies before their mirrors in one year would enable them to sew on 3.0O0,000 buttons, darn 15,0O0,O0O pairs of socks and wash and wipe 600,0OO, 900 dishes. But you are right, the ladies would rather waste the time before their mirrors. Wed rather see what they see than do them other things, too.

pearing with them on the stage she
had no desire to continue wearing
them all the time.
Miss Williams wore two very love-

OF pale yellow silk trimmed with
black velvet, and the other an after
noon gown and bonnet, which are
sketched. The outstanding color note
was green. but there were touches of
gray and pale yellow combined with

pastel shades in the entire produc-
tion was of interest. as contrasted
with the brilliant tones so popular
with modistes today. and perhaps the
comparison was highly favorable to
"Erminie."
The tight bodice Of Miss Williams
frock was of green silk. and it was
trimmed with futing OF slightly

double gray lace ruffles to edge them.

FOOTLIGHT FASHIONS.
BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY.

THE theaters last week offered a
veritable treat to musical lovers
as we'll as to followers of the drama.
Hearts of Erin" at the Belasco, was
delightful little play woven around
Irish lyrical songs of the type that will
always be popular, and "Erminie" af-
forded a setting for some choral work
OF the highest type, the Goodnight"
number being sung without accom-
paniment. The most beautiful music,
though. was to be found In the ap-
pealing story of Franz Shubert. the
composer. which was told in blossom
Time" at Polls. Through every Sc
lection the audience could vaguely
sense the familiar themes Of his mas
terpieces, and several of his compost
tions. such as the "Serenade" MO
ments Musicale" and the Diminished
Sonata" were rendered without de-
Walton from the originals.
From a fashionable. as we'll as a
musical standpoint. the plays were of
unusual interest. for all showed pc
riod costumes. and as the modern
trend Of style is back toward the
''old-fashioned gown" one may OBJ
serve the origin Of many of them.
In fact. it is said, that New York
modistes received their inspiration
for the revival of the crinoline from
the very costumes which were worn
in "Erminie." 1t Is also said that
