Mary Mannering will play her second engagement of the season at English's to-day, giving matinee and evening performances of Leo Ditrichstein's new comedy, "Harriet's Honeymoon." When Miss Mannering was seen iu this city before the holidays she appeared in the Clyde Fitch play, "The Stubbornness of Geraldlne," and scored a great success. She is one of the most beautiful and talented actresses now on the American stage, and has always been a farorlte in faWllll poila Rehearsals for "Harrtet Honeymoon" began soon after Miss Mannering and her company left this city two months ago, and the new comedy was produced In New York earlv In January at the Garrick Theater, where it was well received. Mr Dltrlchstein, who is almost as prolific a piayw-ight as Clyde Fitch, prepared this piece especially for Miss Mannering. aud the leading character is said to be splendidly adapted to her temperament. It Is understood that the author has furnished extremely picturesque surroundings, and that Manager McKee has provided a handsome scenic equipment and an excellent supporting company. In the cast are such distinguished players as Arthur Byron, one of the best leading men on the American stage; Thomas A. Wise, well remembered here for his good comedy work In the farce. "Are You a Mason?" J. Henry Kölker, an Indianapolis "matinee idol" at one time, having been the leadfng man for a season during the reign of the old Grand stock company; Louts Massen. Kate Lester, Lillie Hall. Emma Janvier. Adolph Jackson. Edward See and Louis Hollister. With such a company "Harriet's Honeymoon" should be well worth seeing. The curtain will rise this afternoon at 2 and this evening at 8 o'clock. There will be lots of fun going on at English's the latter half of the week. "The Wtsard of Os." the jolllest of all the big musical shows, opens its first local engagement to-morrow night and remains for three nights and a Saturday matinee. It is well that this attraction has been booked for so long a visit, for the chances are that it will prove one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season for both young and old. "The Wizard of Os" has been a wonderful success on account of its originality, being vastly different from all other musical extravagansas that have been prominent ou the American stage during the last five years. Everybody who has read the delightful children's book by Frank Baum, from which the entertainment has been made, will look forward with unusual interest to the appearance in H 1 1 and blood of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, the Wizard himself and the Kansas maiden. Lorothy Gale, as they are to be seen in the stage version of the fascinating fairy tale With Mont?om, rv and Stone. Anna Laughlin. Arthur Hill and a Manner of other well-known comedians and singers. "The Wizard of Oz" is sure to be a most attractive theatrical offering. The seats are now on sale at English's box office for the four performances. Viola Allen Is a sk k woman. She has been compelled to retire from the cast of her great Shakspearlan revival of Twelfth Night " In order to have an operation performed for mastoiditis, an affection of the Inner ear. The distinguished oung actress Is now at th and Kar Hospital In N u York city, and the physicians say that if She had been permitted to sxj mm with her stage work for another frank or two without having had the operation perform d there would have been no hope o.f her recovery from the malady Saturday night Miss Allen displayed a degree of courage not far removed from heroism. Suffering Inten she called h-r company around her and told the players that she was sorry that any trouble of hers should cause them Inconvenience, snd said that sh- would be compelled to give up her New York run In "Twelfth Night " She tried to smile, but the attempt was pathetic and th members of the company, after extending to her their heartfelt sympathy, left the theater with tears In their eyes. Miss Alien Is booked to play an Indianapolis engagement In April. It Is thought that she will be able to take up her tour within a month. There have been all sorts of explanations concerning the mysterious exhibition of the

MARY MANNKKIN'i. At English's This Afternoon and Evening In 'Harriet's Honeymoon." Great Artesto at the Grand this week exKuuu.ivuii 1 11a i air- uiirj oaiiiaviui iu iu; persons who vouchsafe them, but which are hardly acceptable to those theatergoers who have "figured out" the puzzle in thsir own peculiar way. In fact, every auditor at the Grand this week has his own Ideas as to how the trick is done, and it is doubtful If there is one correct solution in a hundred. The little automaton that acts as orchestra conductor and portrait artist Is as great a wonder as was Magician Keller's "spirit hand" in the glass cabinet. The trick Is performed by a Freuchman who is not seen at all by the audience. The pretty French woman who puts the mechanical figure through Its exercises has nothing whatever to do with the workings of the "dummy." The Grand's programme is a good one throughout, this week, and amusement-seekers will make no mistake In "taking it in." The midgets have much to do with making the Royal Liliputians' extravaganza, "Gulliver's Travels," a success. Two of them, James K. Rosen and Prince Giovanni, do a specialty turn. Martha Weis and Herbert Rice, two other little people, make up a team of singers. "Queen Mab," perhaps the smallest of them all, shines by herself as a diminutive Patti. She htis a good voice and knows how to use it. She is twenty-four years old, thirty-one incii'-s high and weighs thirty-three pounds. The Liliputians have a trophy of which th- y think a good deal and which they utilize in the production. It is the carriage which Tom Thumb used when he was gaining fame with P. T. Barnum. The carriage Is on the order, and hardly half the size, of those which roll about Indianapolis streets, but It is painted in gaufly colors, and "Queen Mab" rides in it in one scene when she is drawn on the stage by two ponies. The carriage was purchased from the Barnim estate. The Park's attraction beginning to-morrow will be "King of the Detectives." Sir Henry Irvings engagement in Chicago has not been a successful one so far, owing to the fact that the theater-goers of the Western metropolis are being made uncomfortable by some of the safeguards Imposed upon the managers by the Chicago authorities. At the end of the third act of "Louis XI," at Um Illinois Theater the other night, the English actor was called before the curtain for a speech. The speech was plainly a key of disapprobation, and it startled the audience when it reached this plea: "And I would like it to be thoroughly understood by you that sometimes much injustice may be done by jacks in office, and 1 would earnestly beg of you to exert all your Influence to allay the feeling of panic which at present exists among the officials of your great city." Francis Wilson now says that he will positively retire from the comic opera stage at the end of his present season in the big revival of "Ermlnle," which, by the way, is to be seen in this city ere long. During the original production of "Erminle" at the New York Casino in 1S Wilson was the most talked-about comedian of the American stage, and now, on its fourth but most Important revival, he is again the subject of much comment. The latest book-made play, "The Pit," Is drawing large audiences in New York, and the theater-going public seems to lik? tho new drama, but the critics are disagreeing, as critics will, as to its merits and demerits. John Corbin. in reviewing the play in the New York Times, starts off in this way: " 'The Pit' is pitty, and pity 'tis 'tis true." William Collier seems to have struck a winner at last in Richard Harding' Davis's comedy. "The Dictator." which has met with much success in Boston. The piece is a satire on South American revolutions and some of the lines and situations are said to be genuinely funny something rather unlooked for in Davis. Stndehaker Theater Re-Opened. CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-With the reopening of the Studebaker Theater to-night the theatrical field of Chicago, which was desolated by stringent reforms called forth by the Iroquois catastrophe, very nearly resumed its normal aspect. Powers's Theater, the La Salle Theater, and, of course, the Iroquois, are still closed. Permanent improvements in the lirst named will qV 1. lithe opening for six weeks. With three exceptions, the popular-priced playhouses are now entertaining the public as formerly. "The Prince of Pilsen" was the Studebaker attraction to-night. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

The str uuous society life, it appears, is more or less subject to its revenges and phases of tragic-comedy or comic-tragedy. "Yes Helen had a guest, and we invited them out to a little luncheon iust a family affair but I intended to hav everything very nice, and take just as much pains as if it were a larger event," said a rash society dame talking to another one at a shirtwaist bargain counter; "there were four of them and four of us women so that just made a nice little tabic full. It poured rain, so I had Harry telephone out early to see if they were coming. They näwntnd that of course they were coming; so my prvpaiations went right on. It was such an awful day that, really, I shouldn't have cared if they had asked the lunch to b? postponed. But you know Hden. She just loves to g"o, and would rather be tlrowned than mss a function of any size w hat ever. "They came all dripping wet, of course; and trat ketl in an awful lot of mud. And at the tftrft minute, without a word of warning, in walked Helen's husband, Richard. He wasn't invited 1 had made Harry tak his luncheon down town so I had to change the tables, and all that, you know. Really, I was vexed, but tried not to show It. Richard looked queer, too, but I know Helen made him do It Helen's a schemer, as we all know. "Oh, yes; everything went off all right, and they all said they had a perfectly beautiful time. Now. Cousin Louise is with me. We met Helen on the street a week ago. and her expression was so funny. It said as plain as day, 'Oh, goodness! There's Clara; now I'll have o give her a luncheon.' "In a few d'tys she called on Clara and we art dl ask. d out thT for next Tuesday. She didn't ask Harry, of curse; and 1 wouldn't let him go if she bad.

Are You Watching the Furniture As it comes and goes this month; saving hundreds of dollars in the aggregate to our customers? Of course you will see pieces you don't like but some one else likes them. You will see some very fine furniture costing more than you care to pay, perhaps but some one else snaps it up in a minute. Again you will see pieces that you think too cheap but they are good and well made ana they fit some one's pocketbook. That's the very charm of the sale it is cosmopolitan; it caters to all families; there is something good for every one desiring furniture. Come in early and walk over the fourth floor with a salesman or alone. It won't be five minutes before you are ordering some pieces sent home. The saving averages a third; in some cases it is more, in some less.

Some very dainty pins of the style that imitates the buckle are shown in rather a larger size than heretofore, to wear either at the throat or the waist. The pins are shown in plain silver or in rose gold with a setting of brilliants. The new "peacock's eyes," with their vivid coloring of blue and green, are among the newest of settings for hatpins. The stones are very effective and in their pretty s'ttings of rose gold are suitable ornaments for the finest of spring bonnets. The price a pin is $1.50. The new "Babette" bags, or skirt bags, whichever one likes to call them, are very long and slim and come In all kinds of leather, all colors and at a variety of prices from $2.50 up to $8.50. One of handsome black seal, lined with black leather, costs $7.75. The bars of brilliants to pin the stock or the bow of maline grow in favor and the pretty bars of all lengths may be found in almost every jewelry store or department. The smaller bars are inexpensive and the longest and most sparkling of them do not soar much above the five-dollar mark. Valenciennes is no longer the one favored lace for the trimming of underwear and some of the newer and costlier corset covt rs show effective decoration in other laces. One is set with wheels of heavy lace that looks like Cluny and bands of the same lace edge the dainty affair, while a second cover has Insertions of edgings of lace in Honiton patterns and effect. The monogram hatpins, which have been popular for some time, have taken on a new form and Instead of being simply plain fiat medallions the surface for the monogram i set on a mounting of graceful design. Among the prettiest of the pins Is one which has a long, slender mounting with the plain surface very small in circumference, to be monogrammed in very small letters. Mt-nn for a Day.

Waters, an English water-color painter of note, is in the city for a short time and Is at the English, where he will be phased to receive those Interested in his paintings to show them his portfolio of drawings. Mr. Waters has for nine years spent a portion of the year in America and has a large clientele In many of the East-rn cities. This Is his first visit to Indianapolis, but he is being warmly welcomed by lovers of art here, who tind much that is fr.-sh and unusual In his drawings. Mr. WntcrS'S subjects are all English and they have the charm that can be given only by the artist who paints with love and understanding of his subject. The quaint, rambling villages, the picturesque thatched cottages DtOtnsnnajQS with a mellowness and softness that modern America knows not at all the rich verdure, soft with dews and rains, the calm lakes and smooth pools everything is typically Ei.gli.h, and the pictures carry a breath of the real "atmosphere" to those who know old England. In technique, too, Mr. Waters's pictures are quite the rverse of the water-color drawings of the Ameri'-an school; instead of the broad effects strlwn for by the American painters in aquarelle, which carry the suggestion rather than the definite o. t.iils of the subject. Mr. Waters's pictures are exquisitely finished in every detail and have the depth of color and the texture of an oil painting, while keeping the delicacy which is the chief charm of the water color. A notable feature of the paintings is the t harming manner in which figures are introduced into the composition without In the least disturbing; it. I'sually the introduction of figures in a laudscape painting is jarring, chiefly for the reason that a landscape painter Is seldom a figure painter and th- bits of "human interest" are apt to be Blipshod in drawing. Mr. Waters, however, speut a number of years in ligurepaintlng. anI the figures he puts Into his soft English landscapes only serve to emphasise the charm. The perspective of his drawings Is also one of their notable points and iu addition to the beauty of the faithfully depleted foreground of the pioturc th?re is th- charm of the furthi-r away, not wholly dear distance.

Prices, 10 POLO ters's paintings is one of a typical English village, the quaint cottages with their thatched roofs, the smooth road and the rich growth of flowers and grass beside the walks, lying beneath A soft English ;-ky. The garden of th cottage in the foreground Is a rfot of bloom, the bright posies tempting one Inside the gate. A painting of Mll- ' ton's cottage In Kuckhamshire. a draw ing of a country cottage In Cheshire and one of a picturesque two-storied cottage are all full of charaeterltl beauty. A sketch In the lake district shows a pool of clear, lurid water in the foreground, with the rich verdr.re of the moist country about, and another one of the delightful water sketches Is a view of the old Sonnlng lock on the upper Thames a picture remarkable not only for the beauty of the river, but for the tr atment of the foliage, every tree distinct and rounded, yet blended with the others along the bank. "A Sultry Day In Tarpoley" shows a smooth country road, bordered by grass and flowers wandering off into the distance. A view of the old Ilidston mill in Cheshire is a delightful bit of composition, and the heathe--grown slopes leading up to the quaint old mill are rich and soft In eoloilng. Mr. Waters spends about five months of the year In England palnttng. and the remainder of the tlm he spends in the Tnlted States. His studio in London i? ins the Strand. He is as well known in the East as in his own country, and his visit to the Went Is with the view of establishing his reputation over a more considerable portion of the country. Many of the artistic peoi in Eastern cities are now owners of his paintings and he has also filled a number of commissions frm Amricans. With his own paintings Mr. Waters also carries a number of the marine views of a fellow artist. Robert Malcolm Lloyd, whieh are also notable pictures. American watercolorlsts who do marine are frequently apt to lose the "textun" in catching the sparkle-, but Mr. Lloyd achieves both In his admirable drawings. The most charming of those shown hare Is "The Harbor of 1'enzance." which lives up to Its name In Its romance and beuuty. A golden light breaking on sky and sea touches th clou. Is and waves and the dingy sails to glowing bits of color. The pictures are wonderfully branny 'n effect and the movement of the water, the swing of th- l at. is full of realism. The smaller drawings shown ha the same qualities, and the sea views and land-scape-of the two English artists ar- decidedly worth vie wing. Dinner In Toiullanas) Hull.
