Evening Dress is Barred Even in French Theatres.

Paris, Nov. 10.—An official decree issued today provides that until the war is over no person shall be admitted to the Opera, the Opera Comique, the Comedie Francaise of the Odeon, which are subsidised by the state, except .those attired in ordinary day costume,. “Those dressed otherwise will be rigorously excluded,” the decree says. Hitherto evening dress has been worn at the opera, except by those occupying the cheaper seats. •
