The past week has witnessed the return of
n laigo number of the fashionables from
BUtnmer Homes , und already plans nro being
made for the formal Inauguration of the sea-
BOH. While it Is hard at this writing to In
dicate \vliut the chief amusement of the haul
inondo will bo this year , It is qtiito safe in
saving that The Assembly and probably the
Cotillon will bo rcorgaul/"d , in addition to
several neighborhood dancing club ) . Cards
will continue to bo a stiong attraction for
these who cnro not for 'ho inn/y round and
the intellectually inclined will take ill )
courses of rending in keeping with their do-
Biro to shine In the domain of culture.
Tlio picsonco ol a number of society girls
from different ultlos throughout tbo country
will add largely to the pleasure which is now
anticipated , and with the debutantes to give
lustro to the dollies of socieiy tbo season
ought to bo one of the most brilliant la tlio
history of the metropolis.
Some town houses in the fashionable
quarters are already open and moro aio
being made ready for their occupants. Tlio
crowds huvo deserted the sc.isldo places , so
eastern correspondents inform us , and while
some of the mountain hotels uill remain
ouen until October , ttieto uro but fo\v people
remaining in them , and every week , indeed.
Ovory day , will see tno returning summer
tniants in goodly numbcis. These who have
countrv places near the city and who have
been away on trips nro mostly bock , and
these wtio iiro loitering will not bo absent
much longer.
" 'Shall ' men dance in the next century ! '
Is tbo question which is asked by leaders of
fashion nowadays , " says a correspondent of
the Now Yon ; Press. Kvory year sees fewer
and fewer of dancing men. And each season
it is harder and harder to Und loaders for
cotillions and gcrmans. This year many very
smart ladies mo dancing together at the func
tions which take place at Mimmor hotels , and
it is not considered a bleach of etiquette or
n lapse of manners , or a jump into tlio uncon-
vcntionalitics for women to do so. Whcr-
ever tbi'so smart ladies have boon
HCOII dancing together at these summer
hotels they weio invariably as
sorted in couples that were utterly unlike in
appearance and stylo. A very tall , dark
brunette would cheese a littio fut blonde for
her puitm-r , while in turn a tall , stately
blonde would boar upon her arm a delicate
littio brunctto who looked as if sbo could not
speak up for herself to save her llfo , and
ouhl not oy any chance ventnro to take a
stop alono. Thus it is with women. They
talco things as they go with remarkable
equanimity , and have a littio kind of tact and
good tasto'which enable them to make up the
breach in such a way that no ono over sus
pects that they have los t anything.
A "brown luncheon" is quito the newest
mode of onteitninmeut. The menu cards ore
done in brown sepia , trith 1'gures ' from the
"Brownies" In ono corner. These also do
duty as souvenirs. Hiown and white china
uro used , und the while napkins ana table
cloth are decorated with a broad band of
drawn work done In blown. Hefreshmcnts
consist of tbo brown moat of turlcoy , veal
loaf , brown bread , chocolate and marble
cake , chocolate Ices and coffee and choco
late.

AT THE HOME THEATERS ,
What Arausemont Sookora Will Find to
Entoitaln Thorn ,
*
THE PLAY HOUSES IN FULL SWING ,
"Olivette" nt tlio Grand Opera House
"Master ami Man * ' at the
Fnriinm 1'ntil Itosh
at Itoytl'n.
"Master and Man'1 ' will bogln a four-nights
engagement at the Farnam Street theater
this oven Ing. The play Is the work of Slmms
& i'ottitt , who also wrote "Tho Uomany
Hyo , " "Hands Across the Sea" and "Hood-
man Blind. "
The story of the play tells of the adven
tures of a young civil engineer , Jack Walton
by name , who Is bounded by Uobort Carlton ,
master of the Carlton Iron works , and his
tool Hurnpv Logan , for marrying the village
school mistress , Hester Tbornbury , who is
in reality the rightful heir to the Carlton
Iron works. By false swearing Walton is
sent to prison , where , after six years , ho
escapes with a follow convict , Jim Bur-
loigh. Returning to his home in the dead of
the night ho is surrounded bv the ofllcor.s of
the law , but escapes and makes his way to
the iron works. A strlko is In progroos ,
for which the workmen tlamo Humpy
Logan foreman of the works. Maddened to
desperation , the strikers sel/o Lognn and
drap him to the works. 'J iiuv nro Just about
to throw him into the roailng furnacowhun
Jack Walton , who has been in hiding , stops
forth and saves him. The memory of that
awful night causes Logan to repent his vil
lainy and with his aid , Hester Is restored to
her rightful estates , Jack Is proven Innocent
and Robert Carlton sent to prison.
The company carries Its own scenery ,
which was painted by Harley Merry and the
late Matt Morgan. The greatest scene in
the play is in the fourth act , where the In
terior of the Carlton Iron works is shown.
The stage being darkened , the effect Is
weirdly picturesque. From the tall chim
neys volumes of dense sraoko nour forth
with a roar , and when tbo big doors of the
furnace are opened the ( lory llames shoot out
with a Ualing brilliancy hugo sheets of
bluish , gaseous lire , which light up the faces
of tlio workmen and form u realistic scone.
The company includes the well known
young romantic actor , Walter II. Edwards ,
whoso work In the loading role of "Tho
Stowaway" last season gained for him an
enviable reputation ; Palmer Collins , E. II.
Monck , Carl St. Aubyn , Charles Saunders ,
Marguerite Fcaly , Mary Pish , Lotta Holly
wood , and littio Maud Fontv. In the fair
scone , in the last act , specialties are Intro
duced by tno Martinetti brothers , the Twin
City tno and the worklngman's quartette.
The announcement that the accomplished
comedienne Patti Hosa is to appear at the
Now Boyd theater , opening tonight with her
company of players will bo gratifying to the
many theater goers who recognise in this
brilliant young uctiess the leader of her class
on the American stage. She has worthily
won this judgment by the excellence of he'r
woik in the past and it is promised that now
beauties and excellencies will bo disclosed by
her impersonations this season. Her versa
tility is almost limitless and it matters not in
which ono of her plays she is soon , whether
it bo "Dolly Vurdon , " "Margery Daw , "
"Imp , " or what not , her naturalness and
lack of affectation give a chni in that is rarely
seen In stage performances. It is to Patti
Uosa's ciedlt that her company is always up
to the highest standard and interest is not
confined to her work alono. When she Is off
thostago talented performers are there to
keep up the work of amusing and entertain
ing. She is worthy of all patronage and can
surely count upon facing u crowded house
when she steps upon the stage hero.

play , Monday , September 21 Miss Daven
port was booked to appear at Boyd's next

th o reason given nbovo.
The negro quortetto with A. M. Palmer's
company in Augustus Thomas' "Alabama" is
the well known Eclipse quartette of the old
Georgia minstrels. Their engagement for a
tour of 8,000 miles in six weeks simply for
the purpose of singing two songs behind the
scenes in the second net of "Alabama , "
evinces n regard for carefulness of detail and
completeness regardless of expense not often
found in companies while en tour.

per week received by favorite pla\crs :
"Billy" Florence , from the Jefferson-Flor
ence company $1,200 ; Henry E. Dixoy , from

Al. Cnnby tells this of Louis Harrison :
They were standing beside the tomb of
Juliet , Shakespeare's immortal heroine. Tno
Cunblan 03-0 was damp and the Harusonian
lips trembled with emotion as the guide des
canted upon the history jpf the sacred spot ;
"Tho outer tomb is ofj marble and weighs
eighteen tons , " ho said in closing ; "the
inner tomb is of granite and weigh1 * twelve
tons ; the casket proper vhich contains her
bones weighs flvo tons.1' "Al , " sighed Louis ,
"they've ' got her. " '
The engagement Is1 announced of Miss
Beatrice Cameron to Mi' . Ulchard Mansfield ,
in whoso company she nfls been the loading
lady lor four years past ; > Upon the close of
the Pacific coast tour next July the marrlaeo
ceremony will bo performed in London , nt
the house of Miss Clarft. sister of the late
Rev. Walter Clark , D.D. " , headmaster of the
famous old Derby schoot When not acting
in America Mr. and Mrs ; VMniisliolU will set
tle down to the llfo of quiet country people nt
a lovely house in England , near the sea.
Miss Camoton is the daughter of Dr. liegeman -
man of Troy. During , tbo , piosent tour she
will ns heretofore bo accompanied by a friend
wto will act as chaperone *
The Kansas City Timefe editorially offers a
good suggestion : "Thord is n great deal of
variance of opinion ns to-which American ac
tor or which American stock company shall
represent the United States nt.tho Vienna in
ternational festival. Booth's health will not
permit him to go. lUchard Mansfield's ca
reer is not npo enough. Tnoro nro several
peed reasons why Kceno would not bo a just
representative. The Boston Museum com
pany is the oldest stock company , but lacks
strength of personnel at present. Tlio Daly
company plays only thollghtostcomedies.and
would not , therefore , place the Ameiican
drama fairly before the Viennese. The Palmer
mor and the Lyceum companies both have too
much English blood. The question therefore
arises. What's to be done ? Tlio oost solution
ib for all managers of stock companies to
agree to loan ono or more of their actors and
actresses for the formation of an independent
temporary stock company. The United States
must bo well represented. "
