" \VImt Is absolutely new In the millinery
line this spring ! "
"I'll ' call the forolady. "
Thq "forclady" hai dark eyc nnd hair , la
"
petite" , pretty and sparkling , and grasps the
idea Instantcr.
"It's lace nnd flowers this year. This Is
the latest,11 nnd nho produced a gauzy black
'scramble ' , ' adorned with scraps of ribbon
tid flowers.
"This , you see , U a return to the Gains-
bore stylo. It la becoming to almost any port
of face , and will not Interfere with anyone nt
the thoatcrs. Ona great advantage it has
Is that It can not bo cheapened. The best
trade , " you know wonts something that no
OHO else 1ms. To popularize a style Is to
kill It. It Is Impossible ! to popularize n twenty-
five-dollar hat , mid the best trade may rest
secure in its monopoly. Flowers arc
used on everything. Hero nro sumo bon
nets , you HOC , which nro llttla moro than
masses of forget-me-nots nnd daisies.
"Tho toguo Is still a popular shape , nnd
bonnets arc , as you sue , mere nothing In
everything except the price. In straws
these uro nil popular , " and nho produced a
contrivance with the brim all reaching out
into the future llko n jockey's cap and
ornamented with a spray of marguerites
under a Him of Illusion ; several Immense
affairs shaped as If they had been made wet
nnd had loppnd down all n round and a non
descript atTalr which. In shape , can bo com
pared to nothing , but n limp cabbugo leaf.
One beautiful creation with u beautiful price
attached was a largo whlto leghorn Gains-
bore with a face trimming of llowers nnd a
crown of feathers and ribbons.
"Now you have the spring styles
in hats , nnd if you will coma
around next week I will give you the novel
ties for tha summer. The lady In charge
Will talk to you about wraps. "
"Tho lady In charge of the cloak dcpart-
? mem" Is a stately blonde , wno would look
J * . the queen In any of her wraps.
"You are n llttlo late for the spring novel
ties. This is the correct thing the Mary
Anderson circular It Is of black lace , and is
one of the most beautiful and graceful wraps
over worn. The other spring wraps , which
you have , of course , noticed , mostly of black
material and shirred nt the shoulders and In
the back , nrc an adaptation of the English
university gown. "
The Mary Anderson circular is a Spanish
looklngaffair , and a dream of stately beauty ,
but it crashes into the pocket book with a
(00 thud , and It Is safe to predict , will bo
worn almost exclusively by the "best trade. "
The new things In shoes nro of ooze calf
nnd undressed kid In a variety of colors. No
change is noted in jewelry , the many fan
tastic designs inoxydizcd silver holding their
own.
Probably the most sink Ing novelty , ns well
as the most senseless , Is the parasols. They
need no description , nnd nra sufllcicntly con-
spIcuQus to uUr.uct attention.
In gentlemen's furnishings one striking
feature dwarfs all the rest neglige shirts.
They nro of all conceivable descriptions ,
flannel and silk , and of all degrees of clabo-
ratcncs's In ornamentation.
The tailors' plates show styles that are , if
possible , a degree moro hideous than ever
before. Wide pants , cocuy derby hats , loud
checks and stripes , are the notable Veaturcs.

The Elks' forthcoming benolit promises tote
to be a grand success , both artistically and
financially. The boys uro rehearsing tholr
business every night , and it is safe to pro-
diet that they will give un extraordinarily
fine entertainment. Messrs Gooclull nnd
Lou Beard , the extreme end men , ore preparing -
paring themselves to do some excellent
worn , and the sontrs for the llrst part will
equal anything of the kind ever heard ou a
local stage. Colonel Frank Moores , Judge
Shields , Nut Brighaui nnd other vocal
celebrities of the city , are down for
solos , which , with the nccompan.ing chorus
of lifty or moro strong voices , nro calculated
to make Bo.vd's opera house ring with music.
Among the specialty attractions will bo
song and dance turn , "Down Where the
Daisies Grow. " by James O. Crawford , city
editor of the Herald. Mr. Crawford is u
minstrel star of the old Birch and Backus
school , and therefore may bo expected to
give the uudicnco a tusto of burnt cork art
that m these days of spectacular galore is
virtually lost. Messrs. Douglas , D.ina ,
Tlrrell and Goodall are also booked
to display tholr talents In tha
line of break-down performers. In '
the after piece , "Mr. Sampson , of South
Omaha , " they will hold the stage fo fifteen
minutes and do some clever acting. Over
500 tickets hnvo already been sold , and the
demand for thorn has only Just commenced.
"Tho Twelve Temptations" was originally
founded upon a Norso'fairy tnlo. The revision -
vision , which forms the text as It will bo
presented at Boyd's opern house , beginning
Thursday evening next , was prepared with u
view chlully to lilting the piece for a 'gor
geous spectacular setting , and It Is In thlu
direction that the greatest expenditure of
money and other thlnes requisite for a suc
cessful stage production huvo boon ex
pended , There are mechanical con
trivances of all Inmginublo sorts ,
dragons , snakeslying / saurlanu
and other horrid creatures. From these
misshapen things there are representations
of every stage of evolution un to men and
fairies. These creatures disport themselves
about a stage that is decorated with spark
ling fountains , gardens of ferns und palmi
through ono scene after another , till the
bower of the -'Queen Sun" is disclosed
which is the climax of the whole spectacle.
The ballets are danced by three premieres
and twenty coryphees , whoso costumes arc
in keeping with thu stage scenery in rcupcot
to richness and color , if not quantity , Thera
are three ballots , "Tho Policeman and tha
Flirts , " in which there nro four ponderous
onicers , mado. up to represent the four presi
dential und vico-prcsUiuutlal candidates. In
the ballot of the cockatoos , twunty fairies
appear , each with n live cockatoo which she
holds on u gilt perch during the danco. In
the ballet of the nations , ono wears red ,
white and black ; another green ; another
red , whlto and blue , etc. Charles H. Yale is
the author of the revision und directs the
performance , _ _ _ _ _
The management of the Eden Museo has
prepared u moat interesting programme for
the coming week. Splendid attractions will
appear in ull parts of the house , but ono of
the moat interesting will bo "Mazlo , the
Princess. " u lady balling from IJlndooHtan ,
who reads the future and past of all witU
startling correctness.
The entertaining Illustrated lectures of
Mr. Ragan at Boyd'n on Monday , Tuesday
