Gowns to be worn at the play
more beautiful and more elaborate
than they have ever been.
So many of the beet gowned women
have at last adopted the fashion of the
collarless, slightly decollete gown for
their theatre going frocks, that it would
seem as though, in the near future we
were Jjkjajj to adept. thi English -ens;-torn
of expecting women of" fashion to
dresu for the play as much -or as little
as they do for the opera.
At one of the recent first nights, where
the audience was especially brilliant, all
the smartest women wore these gowns
with the new decollete. The decollete,
it is to be remarked, is exceedingly ugly,
and utterly impossible unlegRcompleted,
as it usually is, by a collar of pearls.
These pearl collars, by the way, mUBt
be as wide ae one's throat permits, or
the', too, are a failure.
Mrs. Ogden Mills' gown at the play
tbe other night was cut with the new
decollete, and was of black Chantilly
lace, with stitchings of narrow black
velvet. The sleeves are to the elbow
as, indeed, tbey are almost invariably
worn with this semi demi-decollete
and were finished with rather daring
ruflles of lace edged with narrow velvet.
Mrs. Mills' throat is long and slender,
therefore her pearl collar was as wide as
needs be to be ultra-smart.
With her blac t frock Mrs. Mills wore
long white gloves, which gave the in-
uiviuuai note to ner enseru Die, tnat, in
these days, as we all know, is the aim
and ambition of every woman with sar
torial aspirations.
MiES Mills wore a simple gown all
white made with tbe same decollete.
Her pearl collar was not as elaborate as
her mother's, but it was quite as wide.
Mis? Evelyn Burden wore quite the
smartest black frock of the season, and
made one wish that paillettes were just
coming in, in place of going out.
It was a mass of glittering black pail
lettes sewn on black net in a specially
good design, and studded every few
inches with brilliants. The bodice was
cut a bit low and then outlined with
white lace thickly sewn with small bril
liants. The sleeves to the elbow were
of the black paillettes, and from tbe el
bow to the hand they were of the diamond-sewn
white lace.
Miss Burden's collar was very similar
to Mrs. Mills'.
Mrs. Fred Neilson wore a black lace
gown. Mrs. Neilson's collar has an
usually wide diamond clasp that
almost half around her throat.
Mrs. Neilson's note of individuality
that night consisted in her wearing one
huge black pearl in one ear and white
pearl, equally large, in the other ear, and
a very smart note it was!
Mrs. Albert Stevens also affects the
new decollette and its accompanying
pearl collar, and so do oh! evereo many
others equally smart and powerful; so it
seems safe to say that this nearly decol
lete fashion which is both pretty and
comfortable has come to stay.
As a Modish has been its strongest
advocate since it first ventured to creep
into existence, it is but natural that
there should be rejoicings in the Modish
family now that it is to be allowed to
"live and have its being" successfully.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is wearing
at the play a very smart gown of pale
blue crepe de chine embroidered with
pale blue beads and dull paillettes of the
same color.
Mrs. Norman Whitehouse wears to the
play a gown of white crepe de chine,
striped with insertions of yellow Gluny.
These insertions form straight lines
from the throat which is not decol
lette to the hem of Mrs. Whitehouse's
crown, and eive it tbe annearance of be-
9 ing cut Princesee, though it is not. To
un-
goes
have one's frocks appear to be cut in
one, and yet get the advantage of the
long line in front that is gained by their
not being cut in one, fo a sartorial con
summation much to be desired.
Mrs. Lorrie Ronalds is wearing to the
play an exceedingly pretty frock of em
broidered cloth-of-gold. The cloth-of-gold
is rather dull in tone, and is much
smarter than some of the more voyants
,gold stuffs that have been shown. It is
embridra;ral-owrdeigp'-and is
partly a jour. It is mounted over its
own color, and has a wide, soft collar,
edged with tine gold.
When one looks about at all the pret
ty frocks and observes the graceful fig
ures of the women who wear them, it is
quite impossible to realize that the
atrocities perpetrated in woman's dress
and woman's shape in the early sixties
and seventies really happened.
If the women of today do not ap
preciate how much they have to be
thankful for in the existing fashions, let
them study the fashion plates of those
periods and lift their voices aloud in
pa-ana of praise that they have been so
mercifully saved from such a fate!

Mrs. Gilbert's Impressions of
John Wilkes Booth.
But the most perfect Romeo, the finest
i ever saw, was the brother, Wilkes
Booth. He was very handsome, most
lovable and lovely. He was eccentric in
some ways, and be had the family fail
ings, but he also had a simple, direct
and charming nature The love and
sympathy between he and his mother
were very close, very strong. No matter
how far apart they were, she seemed to
know, in some mysterious way, when
anything was wrong with him. If he
were ill, or unfit to play, he would often
receive a letter of sympathy, counsel and
warning, written when she could not
possibly have received any news of him.
No, I never felt that it was madness that
carried bim into the plot to assassinate
the president. I know from my own
limited experience how high feeling
could run in those days. A man lived so
wholly with people who thought as he
did that any one on tbe other side was
hateful to him. Whatever drew Wilkes
Booth into tbe plot, it was not quite
dare-deviltvy. And if the lot fell to him
to do the thing, I feel sure that he went
through with it without a backward
thought. He had that kind of loyalty,
that kind of courage. Perhaps the de
votion of a higb-strurg Nihilist, who be
lieves in his cause, comes nearest to ex
pressing it. I ought to say-that this is
just my fancy from having known tbe
man Stage Reminiscences of Mrs Gil
bert, in the February Scribner's.
IT DIDN'T START.
She was new to city ways and when
she found herself all alone among
strangers, in a Chicago department
store, she became somewhat confused.
But, nevertheless, she determined that
she would not ask advice. Finally the
floorwalker observed this little woman,
with the word "country"' plainly writ
ten on her garb and face, standing mo
tionless in a certain part of the store.
He turned away, but in a short time
again saw her waiting patiently in the
same spot. When, after the lapse of
fifteen minutes, she still was maintain
ing her position, the floorwalker deemed
if his duty to ask her if he could assist
her in any manner.
"Well," she said timidly, "perhaps you
can tell me when this elevator is going
up."
She was standing on one of the great
hot-air registers used for heating the
etore in winter! New Lippincott.
IN LATE OCTOBER.
illiara Reed Duaroy, in Corn Tassels
The corn leaves clash
amidst the dried-otit fields
Like paper swords
the children use in play ,
The wild geese call
across the dappled sky
As arrow-shaped they wing
their southward way ,
In late October.
The stubble fields
are squares of rusty bronze
And strawstacks dot them
with their heaps of gold ,
While through the uplands
prairie chickens cry
In trumpet tones
foretelling saow and cold
In late October.
Across the prairies
like a thing of life
The tumbleweed rolls
lazily and slow ,
And in the shivering breeze
the golden rod
In tottering age
turns white as winter snow
In late October,
The skies are overcast
with low-hung clouds
My days are filled
with haunting, old regrets,
The wind swim upward,
like a dancer's skirts
The leaves that rattle
like her castanets ,
In late October.
