PRACTICAL DRESS IS, AFTER ALL, THE BEST GUIDE. But row Regard it, and Fancy Seems Rampant in Designing New Gowns and Textures for the Frivolous Sex. Sleeves Approach the Skirt. Never before in the history of fashion has there been such a variety in the little accessories of dress. Just at present the stores are literally filled with collars, capes, berthas, ruffs and fichus of every lmaginable description, and they seem to be there for the sole purpose of filling up the space' vacated by the irrepressible shirt waist, but they decorate it with an air of elegance which their predecessor could never assume. Tuck bands of rib- bon, lace. chiffon, and Spangled net in all colors are swallowed up in large rosettes and outstanding bows, but here they are made up in the latest approved fashion, ready to fasten around the neck. Collarettes and movable berthas of the same variety of materials are in all shapes and sizes, and as plenty and pretty as fancy can picture. These are made for both high and low necked dresses, and are very convenient to give a dressy ap— pearance to one gown and take away a little of the too dressy look of the other. Waists seem to be the only article of dress worth mentioning. Skirts are of black, or any dark shade of colored silk, and very modest as to trimming, but there is a variety in waists which cannot be overlooked. The one way to vary your costume is in the possession of as many fancy fabrics as your purse will admit, and the lighter they are in color and tex- ture the more effective and up to date Pale blue, pink, and creamy white chiffon waists are almost as numerous as the women, and light silks, velvets, and creamy lace occupy all the spaces which chiffon does not fill.‘ One dainty blue chiffon waist has a narrow yoke of creamy lace, both back and front, over the full chiffon, which overhangs the belt a trifle in front, and on either side of which is a band of blue satin ribbon extending from the belt to the yoke, where the bands end in satin rosettes at the side, and the belt is of rib- bon. Directly behind this dainty confec- tion is a. gray-green crepon bodice with a glowing red velvet collar and bands run- ning out from the neck to form a yoke. Large red rosettes catch up the pufied sleeves. All this is surmounted by a huge gray-green hat trimmed with a succession of windmill bows reaching out in every direction from the crown. Perforated materials are one of the novelties of the season, and whether they are taking or not remains to be seen later on, when the winter fashions are fairly launched. Crinkled materials of the crepon order are gaining in populari- ty, and all sorts of corrugated surfaces are coming in to swell the variety. A pretty naivy-blue crepon, with wavy lines of black through it, is made with a bolero jacket eflfect in front, which commences at the shoulder and points to the waist, being quite short under the arms. This is covered with guipure lace. \Vhere the jacket begins, which is on aliue with a. yoke, isa rosette of black satin ribbon, with ends extending up on to the shoulder.—N.Y.

Palmer Cox‘s Brownies on the Stage. The Evolution of the Dressing-Room. The season of grand opera is now fairly open. and the greatest. group of musical artists ever gathered together are charm- ing the music-loving New Yorkers (who can afford the entertainment) in the Metropolitan Opera House. The opening night saw one of thelargest audiences of society people that ever graced an enter- tainment, and the money represented ‘in dresses and jewels would be an astonish- ing amount in at least eight figures. Beautiful women, beautifully gowned, radiant young debutantes, blase beans and people of all conditions—the poor excepted—applauded and chattered and fluttered, as the tuneful measures were sung by the most accomplished artists that the two hemispheres hold. It was a great night, and the succeeding ones are only less brilliant and bejewelled. show- ing the great hold that French and Italian opera. has upon the people here. Comic opera. is having unusual vogue in the metropolis this year. There has been this form of entertainment for many weeks at the Broadway Theatre, where the Bostonians. with “Prince Ananias,” succeeded De Wolf Hopper and “Dr. Syn- tax”; at the Herald Square, where “Rob Roy” is having along run, and at Abbey’s, where Lillian Russell made her debut under her new managers. Opera of any kind seems very popular in New York, and the comic variety has fully captured the popular fancy. And it is given with a wealth of stage accessories and beauti- ful pictures that compels the admiration of even those unfortunates whose ears are not cultivated, and who must depend on what they see, and the spoken dialogue for their pleasure. Something new in the theatrical line is Palmer Cox’s Brownies, an entertain‘ ment especially designed for children, although older people will doubtless make most of the evening audiences. At the opening night at the Fourteenth Street Theatre there were more children than have been seen at any evening per- formance for a. long time. The boxes were crowded with them. The balcony resembled a flower garden of bright faces and sparkling eyes. Down in the orchestra were a. lot more of them, all handsomely dressed, and all were having just as good a. time as if there were no reason for their ever going to bed. They Were amused by the funny dances of the brownies,they laughed over the infectious playing of “dot leedle Cherman band,” and were thrilled with horror by the fire breathing ragon, and the big birds of ill omen that swooped down on the storm tossed gnomes and carried them off. The spectacles and transformations were re- markably well done. Orie was an earth- quake scene, accompanied by the eruption of a. volcano, which the brownies tried to extinguish by playing water from a hose on the streaming lava. Another pleasing bit of stage realism was the arrival of the king of the brownies, who made his entrance inside of a. marvellously natural looking watermelon, drawn by a lilipu— tian pony. The evolution of the stage dressing room from an ugly spot where no actress remained except through necessity, to a. bower of beauty has been often remarked. What is undoubtedly the handsomest dressing room in the city is Miss Russell’s at Abbey’s Theater. The walls of her apartment are covered with folds of rich Japanese silk, with a. white ground and blue stripe. The floo. is covered with soft carpet of a. corresponding hue, giving a rich tone to the room. The electric lights are numerous, in fact there is a. light in every conceivable place where it can shed radiance over Miss Russell when she is preparing for the stage. She is one of the most particular actresses on the stage about her appearance. There is never a fold of her dress awry. Sheis not satisfied with the judgment of her maid, but in- variably gives a parting look when ready for the stage to assure herself that her appearance is correct. She has two very large mirrors in her room, by which she can view herself from her blond hair to her well fitting footgear. When she seats herself in her dressing room it is uponf a. richlyppholstered chair in gold finish. This summer at the seaside Henry Clay Barnabee, of the Bostonians, was asked to take part in an entertainment at one of the hotels. He recited several poems, and then brought his performance to a conclusion with “The Cork Leg.” The audience applauded him most heartily— all but one woman, who was sitting next to Mrs. Barnabee in the front row. As Mr. . Barnabee concluded this woman turned to her and said: “Now, I don’t think he is a bit funny, do you?” “Not a. bit,” replied Mrs. Barnabee, promptly. “And what is more, if Mr. Barnabee were any relation of mine I should feel awfully ashamed of his going on like that.” The death of Col. John A. McCaull re- moves one of the most active figures in the American comic opera world of the last decade. He-was the first manager of the Casino, and among the artists who made their early success under his man- agement, either at that theatre, at the Bijou or at Wallack’s, were Lillian Rus- sell, Francis Wilson, Digby Bell. Dc Wolf Hopper, Selina Dolaro, Pauline Hall, Lillie Post, Will Carleton, Signor Peru- gini and Mathilde Cottrelly. LINWARD. An Interesting Discovery. Antonio Cerevas, a. noted scientist, has just reached Oaxaca, Mexico, from the State of Tobasco, where he has discover- ed some of the most wonderful and inter- esting ruinsyet found in Mexico, while exploring a. wild and wooded district in the valley of the San Pedro river. In that State he came upon an ancient de- serted village. which is surrounded by 18 pyramids. These pyramids are 13 meters high, and are constructed of brick and stone. Mr. Cerevas has returned to civil- ization for the purpose of organizing Ia. company to make further explorations of the ruins. A True Saying. The husband was complaining and the. wife was busying about, hunting for the sunshiny places. “Life is a. burden,” he sighed. “Yes, dear,” she answered, “but you know we couldn’t exist very well with- out it.” . Then he smiled and took a new hold.— .- Detroit Free Press. 4 I Newsboys want: (1.
