TH E CO lT K IE 11 12 FASHION Feminine interest centers at present about the kiiuiis of the BiikIIsIi actress, Mrs. Patrick r.tniphell. Those shown In "The Second Mrs. Tanitieray" are far anil away hand somer than the much talked of and written about "Manila" costumes, which have been done to death. Like everyone else. I thought the M(vler-lltie satin, with the KUinea-an-inch bodice, exquisite. The Idea of jeweling the sleeves, as .Mrs. Camp hell carries it out in her various crea tions, is siiiRularly attractive. Those of this "AlaRilu" Rown are of rare lace, studded with small diamonds. The Iouk velvet cloak, trimmed with wide lace and ermine collar and cuffs. Is one of the handsomest ever seen here, and is worn over the blue sown. Hut the "Tnmiueray" clothes! To be perfectly candid, most of us women went more to see the dresses than to study the actress. The play affords such a glorious op portunity for sartorial display! Noth ing is too rich, and the part of Paula cannot apparently be overdressed. In the tlrst act she wore a lovely white silk brocade with hand-painted pink roses over its surface, interwoven with silver. The bodice was also of a silver mesh, very effective and rich. These KleaminR effects go so well with Airs. Campbell's odd, dark hair. Indeed, she is positively gloomy with out them, as was the case in three acts 01 ".Mrs. Ebbsmith." In the blue gowns I like her best, as this shade is so well suited to her col oring. For this reason the second "TaiHiue my" gown, with its skirt of delicate blue brocade and Its rare lace bodice belted with blue, pleased me im mensely. It Is becoming because it lends a softness to her rather over strong features. The light-colored dining coat, with white hat trimmed in black, has al ready been much described, as has also the straw-colored real lace gown in which she is seen for the last time as Paula. This is really a triumph of the dress maker's art. The bodice is adorned with graies and leaves, done beauti fully in tinsel. The skirt has a long train (all Airs. Campbell's trains are very long) or panne; it is one of the most graceful costumes in her ward robe. I cannot say that 1 like her way of wielding her skirts. They seem always Hopping about her feet, and annoying her. Hut perhaps this is only for effect, and to call attention to her loiii; limbed lissomeiiess. She asks naively, in ".Mrs. Kbbsniith," referring to the only gown the play affords: 'And when do you want me to hang this on my bones?" and then, a few minutes later, she refers to her clothes as "rags," recalling Kipling's "A rag, a bone and a hank of hair; just as if we could ever forget the line in her presence. I saw a black velvet confection to be worn in "Alarianna," which was simpiy a dream. It scintillated with lover's knots done in brilliant jewels lia monds, Airs. Campbell says. There were roses on the bodice, done in pink velvet with beautiful effect. Kach rose, or rather petal, was out lined in the jewels. A cae of gauze fell from the shoulders in the back, and there was a pink sash about the waist. I want to sjeak. too, of the buckle that fastens this sash in the back. It is of diamonds, and simply exquisite. Airs. Campbell seems to take no end of pride in these back belt ornaments. Judging- from their variety and the fact that they appear at every performance. In "The Notorious Airs. Ebbsmith" the diamond buckle, made in time pieces one long centre portion .and two shorter side pieces really does won ders for the back of a gown. This only -Ebbsmith" toilet consists of a black net overdress, with trai'ing black velvet diamond-centred roses strewn from top to bottom. The double petals of the large roses are outline-l in iridescent beads. This Is worn over a thickly spangle I and brilliant yellow net, and has quan tities of chiffon ruching about the feet. The train reaches almost half across the stage, and has a most serpentine effect when wound about in front o" her as the actress sits on a straight backed chair in deepest meditation. liKikiug. for all the world, like a mer maid on a rock. This costume lias remarkable sleeves. They consist of nearly a dozen or more strands of glittering jewels fastened at the elbow upon a black velvet band, jewel covered. The lace chemisette, to which the big velvet roses which ou' "l the top of the bodice are attache M also trav ersed at intervals of' ''idut an inch by perpendicular strands 'of the jewels. The low neck is outlined by a single jewelled row. In this play she makes her first ap pearance in a brown linsey frock, with three pleats front and back apparel which accentuates the defects of her back, anil makes her appear hollow chested. Frankly. Airs. Campbell's gowns are not in the least disapiKiinting or over praised. And one of her chief charms Is the utter and absolute indifference with which she wears them. And now a word about her hair. It is her own. and she wears it neglig.'e always. I like it. yet I cannot help woiuItji,' how .she would look if a modish coif feur took her in hand. Town Topics.

Coming to Lincoln The statement may be made without fear of a challenge, that no woman within the memory of our generation lias been able to portray suffering so faithfully as Clara Alorris. Her mi metic art which led her to analytical reproductions of wasting disease have never been approached by another art ist. She became celebrated for her death scenes for in the emotional char acters she so often portrayed with such fidelity there was usually that end in the final act. Hut there have always been rumors which would con stantly recur that Clara Alorris, the woman, and Clara Alorris, the actress, tnjoyed quite distinct personalites: that while the one was ngaged in de picting misery, distress t ml wretched ness in a manner to wring the heart of the stoutest observer, that the oth er was of a cheerful disposition, loved a laugh, a joke or a prank, and could turn a neat quip as readily as a pro fessional humorist. Air. Thomas W. Hroadhurst. who is managing the pres ent tour, confidently asserts that when the public see once more their idol of many years, they will ! amazed at her powers as a mirtl rovoker. Her entertainment ranges n the grave to the gay: now a si. now a sob. Her many rare experiences with em inent men and women whose histories have become the records of their time, a most retentive memory and a rare power of observation have especially fitted Clara Alorris as a raconteur. Hut her performance will not all be remi niscence. There will be illustrations' of that rare genius in scenes from some of her great successes with which her name has always been identified. A great actress, a graceful writer, a gift ed story-teller. Clara Alorris bids fair o eclipse in her present venture tier achievements of the past. Clara Morns appears at the auditorium in Lincoln.
