was fought Mt the rear end of our
Pullman, which happened to be the
last car in the train. As we walked
back after dinner Mr.. Norcross gave
me a cigar and said we'd go out TO
the observation platform to smoke.
When we reached the door we found
the young lady and the girl standing
at the rear railing to watch the track

been left open by a careless rear Jag

with a jerk that showed how beauti-

Mr.. Norcross was reaching for the

didn't throw him. But IL snapped the
young woman and the girl away from

when she did that. of curse the big

of green or blue silk or pongee when
they went on errands In the street To-
day. by some glaring oversight we ne
glect to protect ourselves from the mid
day sun beating down directly on our
brains and from the level afternoon sun
which blinds our eyes. Why? Because
fashion has shelved the parasol. This
season Paris recalls II. II Is the peace
successor of the war umbrella. 1t is as
gay as a parrakeet in a jungle.

Pink Lady" is not epoch making. It il
one novel sunshades in a hundred.
What a sensible thing 1t would be
IL the fashion would become commonly
accepted in this country! Let daring
souls go forth with bright green
umbrellas on gay handles in the hot
days OF summer. The multitude will
follow. In crowded thoroughfares the
parasol would be as much a nuisance as

heads OF those who influence public
opinion from the stage. He makes
one as a foundation for a large pink
rose and a mammoth pink plume. If
this hat Is TO be worn here in the
evening let us hope II will be limited

But the transition from one fashion to
another is gentle and gradual
In actual life no one has attempted
to wear the kind OF skirts which are
creating a sensation in THE Pink
Lady The reason they are making
more Of an impression than those worn
in The Man With a Rose" is that they
show the continued determination OF the
Paris stylists to create a plant public
for Spanish fashions. Some OF these
gowns really are early Victorian. others
actually suggestive OF Elizabethan days.
They are the clothes of generation that
We know through old prints and not the
memory Of the oldest inhabitant.
The potent reason behind the attrac-
ton OF these clothes for the American
buyer who Is in Paris Is the fact that
important houses are behind the pro-
duction. BY this token Americans feel
sure they will be greeted by another
version of the fashion when the string
of Paris houses opens for exhibitions of
new clothes. The wise are not taken un-
ewares. They have seen this thing hap
pen before In Paris and they are watch
ing these stage clothes as a mariner
watches the needle on a compass.
What, therefore. is of exceeding in
terest and importance TO the man or
woman who has gone TO France to buy
clothes for the American market should
be OF interest to the American public
which sits on this side of the water
waiting for new ideas. And none can
help but feel that It is significant that
Paris chooses TO introduce dozens of
new ideas during this tourist season
through the medium of an American
play to American audiences. 1t shows
where her thoughts are. That brings the
affair to the lure OF our eyes.

FIELD NNSrRFIS

Al G.. Field, the eminent minstrel
producer, whose minstrels, vintage OF
1920. are TO be seen at the Playhouse
the week beginning Monday. February
2, has written an interesting book on
the history OF minstrelsy. Mr. Field
has made minstrelsy his life work and
his knowledge OF it dates back to an
early day.
In his book he cites the fact that
the first minstrel show, as 10 Is now
known, was presented In 1910. being
intended as a benefit performance To-
r. w. Pelham, one OF the group Of
legitimate actors who introduced
darkey impersonations, in the form Of
single turns as specialties between
acts OF the regular dramatic perform

the first grouping OF blackface min
strels into ensemble organization and
presentation and originated the "nrsl

as may be supposed that the Amer
lean mlnstrels had their inspiration
in the plantation darkey OF the sunny
South. The Negro is the most tract
able and initiative OF all human be-
ings. Long before the minstrel show
was born, the darkey sang his songs
and danced his eccentric dances on
the plantations OF Dixieland.
