Cloth Gown With Spangled Trimming.
Cloth gowns seem to have taken a
most tenacious hold on popular fancy,
and there is apparently no end to the
different styles of coloring and trim-
ming, while the general effect is much
the same. A graceful gown made in a
favorite style is of gray cloth, the skirt
of medium width, with all the fullness
at the back; down the front and around
the foot are bands of steel and jet pail-
1ettes, which give long lines. The
waist is very odd, with the front of the
velvet a deeper shade of gray; over
GOWN WITH SPANGLED TRIMMINCI FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
the velvet is a corset effect of the cloth
trimmed with the Spangled bands.
The sleeves are small, nearly tight-
fitting, and. with" pointed cuff down
over the hand. The cut of the gown is
given in the tissue-paper pattern is-
sued by Harper’s Bazar, where it ap-
pears. A plain high collar of velvet
and a black belt with jewelled buckle
finish the waist. The same design can
be carried out in different colorings,
and ivould look extremely well in two
shades of wood-color.
AMUSEMENTS.
Under the Dome.
That grand comedy drama, new and“.
spectacular in character, “Under! the?
Dome,” was again produced at Hoyt’s:
Theatre last night to a large sized
audience. The wonderful reproduc-
tion of the terrific hurricane which
swept the harbor of Apia in M arch 1889
was the principle scenic feature of the
whole play and held the audience spell-
bound in expectancy. The acting is
very fine all through and gained much
applause. “Under the Dome” has
proven beyond all doubt to be the
greatest success Lincoln J. Carter has
ever scored not only scenicly but in
every one point that goes to make up a
popular favorite. It is cleverly writ-
ten and highly interesting in every
particular.
The Spoonérs.
For the week of February 14, Mana-
ger Hoyt has secured “The Spooners.”
This company has a reputation, it is
said, second to no other popular price
company. Its repertoire is principally
comedies, believing that the public
prefer laughter to tears, and joy to sor
row. The bill, for Monday night will
be Mr. Frazier’s beautiful four-act do-
mestic comedy. “The Judge’s Wife.”
During the play and between every act
there will be a time of high-class
specialties. -

will be life imprisonment. Judge VVil-
