The Irish Drama of Today.

There is always a charm about sn Irish drama that never fails to exert al- most hypnotic influence on an audience But the Irish drama of today is not the Irish drama of a quarter of a century ago. the drama Of W. J. Fiorence's Eileen oge. of Joe Aurphy's Kerry Gov. ot Bouccicaults Shaugraun. with their red coated British soldiers, their Donnybrook fairs. etc
 Possibly 25 years from now plays of this type may be seen again, with Black and Tans replacing the brilliant red O.! England's s0ldiery.

New York, Aug. 12.-Coats for the little girls!
 It may be a hard cold winter, but what matter to the tiny miss who will go forth clad in warm, fine raiment and in the very latest fashion.
 She can have her choice of collars ranging from dark browns to bright hennas, or black to bright jade-green.
 But she must have fur collar to be really vogue"
 The simple lines are always smart for children.
 One attractive coat for a nine-year- old by Matthews & Taylor is of erra cotta duvet de laine with a belt A possum collar may be worn as a chok- CT or laid flat.
 Another box coat sports a possum collar on its light brown duvet de laine.
 Just to satisfy the dressy child, a more elaborate coat of blue-green Bo- livia has a deep yoke effect on sleeve and garment. There is, too, the deep bell cuff. With this combination of light and dark fur forms the high collar.

Tho Way Dicl>y Accepted
 MadSe'S Letter.

When Dicky held out his hand for the letter I had written Grace Draper [ felt as if my body was one tensely coiled spring ready to snap at the slightest touch. If he had criticised
 its wording or it's spirit in any parti- culars I do not know in what ner- cous excess of temper I might have indulged. Tor my action in bringing the girl as model back into Dicky's life in order to save his professional reputation had strained my nerves almost to the breaking point.
 How much my husband surmised
 of this I do not know, I watched his face closely as he read, and while he
 bit his lip at one moment-whether in amusement or chagrin, I do not . know-he gave no hint of dsap- proval. and handed the letter back when he had finished it, with single slanGy comment:
 Very good, Eddie !" he said flip panty. and I saw that for Dicky life had slipped back into its careless, agreeable. broad hignway from which Marsden's letter had jolted him. I had shown him a way out of his dilemma, and in characteristic fash ion he had shifted responsibility to my houlders-sub-c ub-consciously, no doubt. but nevertheless completely ! That's settled, then" he said with sigh of satisfaction, idly watching I me as I methodically sealed the let ' ter and placed it inside the other en- ! veiope addressed to Linda Shellford' s cousin. When I had sealed that also, II handed it back to Dicky with a i queer little feeling that I would like to wash my hands of 1t, and the possible consequences it's sending would entail. He consulted his watch i briskly.

 ! He was as blithely irresponsible as if he were not still in the shadow of
 failure, as I did, how precarious were h&S chances to satisfying Pennington with illustrations having Grace Draper as the model for the heroine. For he had not seen the girl since her release from prison. and though | he had once made a careless refer
 ence to the effect prison fife must have had upon her beauty, I know
 that he had no real idea of the rav- was counted unusual in his tech
