This is the play adapted from Barrie'e famous novel of the same name. Thosn who have seen the dramatization state that Mr. Barrie has made a remarkable and nightly en tertaining play. He has retained many of the Btrocg incidents, and introduced all the peculiar character types shown in his novel. It'is a marvelous stage creation that can keep an audience of playgoers on the verge of tears for two houre and a half and preserve them from weeping simply by making them laugh. Such is the character of Noah Vale in Sol Smith Russell's charming play, "A Poor Relation," which comes to the Oliver on next Monday night. Frank Keenan depicts the role with exquisite finish. Manager Fred G. Berger carries the same scenery, properties, etc, used by Mr. Russell himself and a company su perior to any that has yet appeared in the piece including Mieses Maud Ab bott, Kate Long, Fanny Barry Sprague, Katberine Dooling, and the two little children Hip and Patch; Messrs. Geo. R. Sprague. Geo B. Miller, Marcus Mori arty, John Cumberland and Charles Buman. Last Year's Tailor-Made Gowns. "If jou have a tailor made gown have it remodeled for the early spring days, and wait until later in the season to purchase your bes gown," writes Emma M. Hooper in the February Ladies' Home Journal. "If your gown was bought within a year it is probably made severely plain, in which case it may be trimmed vith bands of taffeta two inches wide, either black or the eolor cf the gown. The bands should be cut a true bips or be curved to fit the skirt perfectly. Line each baud with thin crinoline, stitch five times, turn in the edgea narrowly and stitch them to the skirt. The lower of the two bands should be set two inches above the edge of the skirt. If a fresh binding is ueeded put it on, and if the skirt is in tended for general wear make it so that it will escape the ground. A dust ruf fle of toff'ta silk cut bias and made about seven inches wid- finished with a narrow hem and put on with a tiny erect heading, will very much improve the appearaoce of the skirt. The ruffle should be ouce and a half as full as the skirt, and should bo sewed on about half an inch above the binding on the insiJe of the skirt. It the skirt is to be rehung the bacK may be made in an in verted box plait, or laid in fan plaits, or the f ullness may be tucked lengthwise across the back to a depth of six inches, and a width of five in the belt."' oiive:r UNDER THE DIRECTION OF 0.
