"A Moiilunn Outlaw" nt the Park. Whistling bullets and the "kl-yi" of cowboys in "A Montana Outlaw" stirred the fervor of the audience at the Park last night, although the attraction was given at this theater earlier in the season. It is the kind of melodrama where men do courageous acts and dark deeds of evil, the heroine has a heart which boats ardently with love, and the comedy element is a3 strong as the romance and villainy. The plot is consistent in taking up wild life as one might expect to find It in untamed Montana and in clinging to the chief thread of its story. If a mob does get after one of the characters and he is saved by a cowboy; if a stage coach is held up; if the daughter of the ranchman iIops some cowboy capers, it is within reason, because Montana people used to do these things. The characters, too. are in keeping with the plot. No polished villain wanders into the scenes there are Just cowboys, stage drivers, dead shots and women of the frontier kind. Since last seen here Homer R. Barton has taken William A. Clarke's place in the chief role, that of Jack the Buster, and he is just as ardent in making love to Helene L. Ward, in the part of a rancnman's daughter, as ever Clarke was. Miss Ward takes up the spirit of the love story and gives it a polish. C. S. Coon impersonates the cattl?- king against whom the plotting is directed, and h" held the interest of the audience. Most of tho noisy fun was in the hands of fat and jolly John G. McDowell as a member of the Montana Legislature. Teddy Roberts wjs in the thick of the fun. too, in the part of a colored man. E. G. Riley took the part of a stage driver, D. Muir appeared as an .outlaw, Alice McDowell, Anna Reed and oth-rs In the cast were generally a sustaining force. There were some real bronchos that knew how to kick and buck, and the play w is well mounted. There were also specialties by John G. and Alice McDowell and Anna Reed which won rounds of applause. The engagement will close to-morrow night. Theatrical Xote. Mrs Fiske has Just closed her Pacific coast season in a blaze of tiiumph. The critic of the San Francisco Bulletin in his review of Mrs. Fiske's Nora in Ibsen's "Doll House," with which play she ended her j run In that city, had this to say of the great actress's performance: "Mrs. Fiske has been seen in five roles, every one of which has beeu a. tax on the Intelligence and the sympathies. Faithful to the most modern, and in many respects the highest, sense of the drama, she has produced here plays whose Interest is almost exclusively psychological plays which discount theatrical action and place their whole value on analytical dialogue. Those who have followed Mrs. Fiske through these four weeks will have to remodel their dramatic taste entirely. They will never agalu be able to listen to the ordinary drama or melodrama, acted with the usual stage tricks, with the quite old-time credulity or acceptance of an artificial formula. Scenically a circus, comically a kind of vaudeville performance to tickle the superficial sensibilities, emotionally a mixture of unreal bluster and rhodomontade, threefourths of theatrical performances are enjoyed by audiences that have lost the sense of and a relish for the real." -f The new Plxley and Luders comic opera, "Woodland," in which two Indianapolis singers are now appearing Ida Brooks Hunt and Olive North has met with great success in Boston and promises to have a long and triumphant run in that city. This is what the Boston Herald of last Tuesday had to say of the two fair performers from Indianapolis: "Miss Ida Brooks Hunt furnished the happy combination of an attractive personality and a remarkably g-ood voice. She is unquestionabiyne of the most artistic musicians seen here in a light musical show in some time. She was splendid as Miss Nightingale and all her. songs were enthusiastically applauded. "Miss Olive North was delightful as the uove, ana tier song m the last act was one of-the most marked hits of the piece." The Grand's vaudeville programme this week is drawing large audiences and giving great satisfaction. There is not a poor act on the programme, even the Trocadcro quartet making up for their weak efforts at comedy by some good harmonizing that please? the audiences. The Hawthorne sisters present a very pretty singing- specialty and the little farce enacted by Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Crane, is one of the best things of the kind seen this season at the Grand. The monkey and dog exhibition, under the skillful management of Professor GallettI, is proving a strong card, and provides much amusement. Next week's bill at the Grand the last vaudeville offering of the local season promises to be another excellent entertainment. The next attraction at English's will be Maude Adams, who comes next Wednesday night for a single performance of the beautiful Barrie play, "The Ltitle Minister." When Manager Charles Frohman de-

BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE PRINTS ' '

AND WATER COLORS ON EXHIBIT

Lieber s Art Gallery Shows a Artists' Work The Increasing popularity of Japanese furnishings and the demand for Japanese decorations makes the collection of Japanese water colors and prints hung this week in the Lieber gallery especially timely. The exhibit includes a large number of pictures, and will remain in the .gallery until next week. The water colors are remarkably beautiful, most of them flower and bird studies of the exquisitely decorative effects that the Japanese artist handles so well. "A study of a heron in black, white and red is especially fine; the mass of white plumage is untouched by a. line, the outlines scarcely indicated, yet the bird is a distinct form atrainst the oelicate background. A turn ber of examples of Japauese lacquer work are also shown, a particularly attractive HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS, By MAY MANTON.

No name has yet been selected for the new opera by Harry B. Smith and Ludwig Englander, in which Lulu Glaser will appear next season. Harry U. Smith has just submitted a list of forty-seven names to Miss Glaser and will leave the final selection to her.

J number of the pictures show Fusiyama, the sacred mountain of Japan, which is ii Pro duced into so many Japanese canvases One of the oddest pictures of the collection is a sea study with two small boats half lost In the waves, the rows of shaven headed little Japanese bending to their oars, and towering over them an immense wave, crested with foam.

The which amount of friction and discomfort one tactless woman may innocently cause outweighs In its ill effects the efforts of any really malicious person. The tactless woman is a person to be dreaded, inasmuch as she is invariably oversensitive herself, and needs must be handled with gloves. Unlike the "enfant terrible," whom she resembles, there is no squelching her, because she can't be sent from the table or summarily put to bed when she displays her fatal facility for "putting her foot in it." 'T number one of those tactless women among my friends." said Mrs. Blank. "I am really fond of her, or would be if she were not continually doing such uncomfortable things. For instance: Ours is one of the old-fashioned 'bring-your-work-and-spend-the-day-with-mc sort of friendships, so one morning last week the tactless lady presented herself at the' door with her two children, aged five and three, prepared to spend the day. Now, this in Itself was all right, as our friendship warrants such unannounced visits, but on this particular day I was giving a luncheon to a distinguished visitor and had not included my old friend among the guests. Of course, it was up. to me to explain the situation and ask her, as cordially as might 'be, to come right in and take her things off. It was equally her part gracefully to decline and take her departure, after assuring me that she would come on tome other and more convenient day when I was not entertaining sixteen women at luncheon. But did she do it? Well, you don't know people of her stamp if you think she did. No. She came in with her two children and I had to fly around and squeeze In an extra place at the table, divide up the bunches of valley lilies to make another corsage bouquet and decline soup because I had only sixteen soup plates that matched. During the luncheon hour the children, who had been put to sleep, awakened and cried, and one of the maids had to go upstairs and quiet them, thus depriving me of her muchneeded services at the table. My tactless friend was neither interested in the other guests nor they in her, and, of course, she was aggrieved because she had not been asked in the first place and also cross be cause she was in her every-day walking suit, with dusty shoes, while the rest of the women were resplendent in their best spring toggery. I was sorry for her, but it served her right.; Ilend Tints 200 Yearn Old. Brooklyn Eagle. The bead bag revival has brought to light many quaint and interesting specimens of this form of handiwork fashioned In days gone by and some of the ancient treasures have been adapted to modern use with very satisfactory results. Others are likely to be if the fancy for the bead reticule as an accompaniment to the old time style of dress now in vogue shall be made more manifest. A bead bag of unusual design and coloring has been in the possesssion of the family of a Brooklyn woman for more than 200 years. The maker was an Englishwoman and the bag has descended for upward of two centuries from aunt to niece, and was presented to its present owner a number of years ago. The pattern is presumably that of an old country church and scnooinouse or parsonage on a hill overlooking a stream; on the opposite side of the bank is pictured another build ing, in all probability a farmhouse. The foliage and grass are wrorked in natural tones and beads in white, brown and garnet are employed for the rest of the decora tlon. The bag is in an excellent state of preservation and tjje gold-colored thread on which the Deads are strung has so wel retained its color and firmness as to sug gest a backing or gold hued net. -The pattern is alike on both sides and the bag has been woven without seams. A fringe of blue-toned glass beads lends a finishing touch. CORONER SAYS YOUNG WIFE WAS A SUICIDE Tutewiler Has Investigated Case of Annie Nixon and Says She Took Strychnine. An Investigation by Coroner Tutewiler yesterday afternoon bears out 1he belief that eighteen-years-old Annie Nixon, 30 Llnwood avenue, died from the effects of a close of strychnine, taken with suicidal intent. The coroner did not hold an autopsy, but from conversation with members of the family and the attending physicians he is convinced that the unfortunate girl. took her own life. Two years ago she was married at the age of sixteen to Clyde Nixon, who deserted her after a year. Attempts were made to reconcile the husband and wife but were unavailing. Mrs. Nixon brooded over her trouble, and. it is thought, chose death in preference to a life without the man who had promised tj love and protect her.

Correspondence cf the Indianapolis Journal. j NEW YORK, April 26. Belated as our I spring has been and as few the opportunities as it has afforded for the wearing of real spring gowns there is every evidence ot a long, warm summer and very dainty and charming are the gowns that nre being made in anticipation thereof. As I think I have stated on several occasions, champagne color and pa!e greens are rivals of white in silks and in wools, but nothing else Is so lovely in muslin as white and nothing else is quite so smart. To vary the effect, underslips are often made of color, and, for these both champagne and reseda in the thinnest of silks are much liked, but there is a charm about an all-white summer costume that nothing else quite attains. As a result we see muslins of all sorts, plain and embroidered, made up in most bewitching ways with trimmings bcth of lace and the lovely hand work that take the forms of cmbroidery, tucking and fancy stitches and often combines them with lace. The more elaborate imported gowns, those designed for garden-party wear, for dinners and the like, almost defy description so intricately are they made; but there are many simpler ctoes that, to my eye, arc quite as

charming and which do not seem so hopeessly out of reach, in spite of the fact that the season Is one of elaboration and mat the designers are determined that such it ... 9 shall remain. Lace with embroidery workeu on to the material itself makes an exceed ingly elegant combination and cannot be overlooked, diflicult as the accomplishment may be. One of the most beautiful gowns of the many I have seen is made oi tne sheerest, finest muslin and is most euiDorately embroidered and trimmed witn aienciennes lace. The embroidery is oi iue mum Kreneh sort and one wonders how the filmy fabric was made to sustain the weight, but the effect is exquisite, neverineie. describe the gown in detail would require a camera. No words are quite adequate, so manv are the little frills, so intricately are the flounces made and trimmeci. dui ii t quite possible to give a general iuea ui ui style. The flounce is deep, gatnereu u ijhu a heading, ana is cmoriimtiru . no . , : Ip.set with lace insertion above and is Joined to the edge of the skirt. ruche3 o: lace insertion finished with lace frills being arranged at intervals at its upper portion, hair or each extending over the flounce, half over the skirt. The skirt above is tuexea ior a. few inches below a a yoke or emoroiueiy and shows lace insertion, in smauer uiuw vd,e whih the blouse combines a deep volte and front of embroidery with tucked Kid nortions. and is further trimmed with a V collar of lace. SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. A far simpler gown is of embroidered muslin, the design a tiny fleur-de-lis, and is trimmed with lace only, but is laid in many fine tucks. The skirt consists of two deep flounces, and both consist entirely of the material, tucked to within 'four or live inches of the lower edge, inset with strips of insertion approximately five Inches apart, so giving the effect of many narrow panels. At each lower edge is narrow lace, put on without fullness, and with the skirt is a tiny bolero and a waist of plain white batiste. The bolero is made exactly as are the flounces, tucked and inset with Ho InrP nnd S launtllV snort.

Both flounce and ciHrt nre cut in what might be called nnint hnttU'ments and are gathered at Vice nnints. not between, so reducing the fullness to a considerable extent. Lace and embroidery combined are much seen. One really lovelv gown is made with the upper portion of 'embroidered linen batiste, the timinee of rtlaln inset with motives of lace. nnd similar thinzs are to be seen at every turn. Uands of embroidery edged with lace frills are pretty and, apparently, are much liked. A most exquisite gown of white batist sheer and line, is made with the simple revived skirt that is gathered at the belt, but is trimmed with a deep gathered flounce headed by a wide band of openwork embroidery edged with Valenciennes frill while above, at a distance of-several mrhe is set a second band.

Smith, at the Claypool, Has Pictures and "Pamphlets Telling of Atlantic City. Although it was for a time thought that Indianapolis was to have no summer this year, unmistakable evidence has at last come to light which proves beyond a doubt that summer will be here eventually, , in all of its glaring, heated reality. .With the advent of the hot days, when the pavements fairly blister one's feet and the perspiration of a single day would float a battleship, the thoughts of Indlanapolltans will turn to the Eastern seaboard, and- then will come the difficulties attendant on deciding which one of the legion of summer resorts will afford the most comfort and pleasure. It Is generally conceded that Atlantic City, that remarkable resort whose thousand hotels afford a livelihood for a population of ooM) people the year around, and shelter over 2 O.OX) pleasureseekers in the summer time, is the leading summer resort of the world. Everybody who calls on Mr. Harry E. Smith, who is stopping at the Clayimol Hotel, and sees his exhibit of photographs taken in and around the famous resort, is immediately convinced that a summer without Atlantic City is a farce. Mr. Smith is in Indianapolis for tne purpose oi gmng the people here an opportunity to form an an idea of Just what kind or nlflvsrround of the country is. a place mis He will be glad to meet and prospective viettor to the const at bis apartments on the fourth floor of the Claypool at Room at any lime in the morning after 10 o'clock and from 2:30 until 5 in the afternocn. . Mr. Smith is prepared to give any desired information about Atlantic City, and exhibits views of the different points of interest. He is especially well prepared to discuss hotel accommodations, being a representatie of many of the leadintr ones, some of which are: The Hotel Prighton. Haddon Hall. Marlborough House, Galen Hall, the Lmnlop. the Rudolph. Hotel Traymore. Hotel Dennis. Seaside Hou-e, the Oialfonte. Hotel St. Charles. Hotel Raleigh. (Jarden Hotel. Hotel Strand. Hotel Wiltshire. Young's Hotel, Hotel Isleworth and the Royal Palace Hotel. Cralc's candles are certainly good.

broidered that I must not forget to mention. They are very pretty. vry f.-rainine and suit the iO0 gowns admirably well, while their possibilities In the subtle game of life are not to be overlooked. This one is simply straight, brought round the shoulders and knotted or let fall as may be, but I have seen many sMghtly shaped, after the real old ones, that form litt 1 c.ijs with long ends and charmingly quaint they are. The scarfs are made in soft silk as well as of the material of the gown. a:vl are really very welcome little wraps in addition to being picturesque, but the cape-like wraps usually match the gown. There in a real . craze for antique green, and I have pevn some.moüt delightful costume? f the color in soft chiffon taffeta with the little wraps all a mass of narrow pinked rutües. FLOUNCES AND FRILLS. Surplice effects, too, are much seen and are very charming worn by the women whom they suit. A really lovely Champa gne-colored muslin, embroidered with the big discs that are so much seen. Is made in that way and. further, serves to exemplify the use of festoon frills which make a feature that cannot be ignored. The , skirt is without a flounce, but made full and gathered at the belt. At the edge is a

wide hem finished with three rows of lace edging, and at about knee depth and again midway between that point and the hem are rull'es, some four inches witle, edged to match the skirt and gathered to lorra. headings that are set on to form wide fes toon? that give the effect of big scallops. The blouse is a simple full one ith a collar and chemisette of white lace and is made with a real fichu, edged with ruffles, forming a cape at the back and brought down to the deep soft girdle at fhe front. The sleeves are huge puffs that terminate Just below the elbows with double frills, form ing a wide ruche, and are finished with deep frills .of lace. Similar models are many. A most charming dancing frock for a young girl is made with round neck outlined with a narrow fichu and almost numberless other effects might be quoted if there were space. All sorts of tiny shoul ders wraps are Feen and are very pretty in the thin, summer fabrics as well as practical, for every woman knows that often the lightest wrap is all that is required, yet there is a distinct want felt if there b none at all. By the way, we are seeing a good many of the little capes to match the skirts, of which I have written in previous letter, and very attractive they are. A most tasteful visiting costume of chiffon voile is all in tender pearl gray with trimming of cream lace, and shows one of these simple round capes most effectively used. The skirt is the simple full gored one that is gathered at the belt and is harmoniously trimmed with bands of taffeta In varying widths. The blouse is full and droops a little over the girdle and is made with very wide full sleeves and a box plait of chiffonat the front that gives a vest effect. Over . it is 'w orn the plain little shoulder cape that is bände! to match the skirt and which terminates at the edses of the box plait. As I saw the gown it was worn by a elender young matron at a recent fashionable wedding and, simple as it is, it stood out among all the more elaborate toilettes, conspicuous because of its perfect ta?te and quiet elegance. The hat accompanying it was of finest gray satin straw with trimming of palest yellow roses, which madp a most effective note of color. The trimm'ng. too, is worthy of a special word. Inasmuch as it suits the style of the gown to perfection, and Is ISA) in effect as the eklrt is in cut. FULL SKIRTS FOR EVENING. For the more delicate gowns of evening wear net3 are having great vogue and are eminently charming made up with these same full skirts, which suit them admirably well. As pretty and graceful a model as any I have seen is of plain white, although flowered nets are new and greatly liked. The skirt Is again the full, slightly gored one, with two wide gathered flounces, and the waist is low and simply fu'.l. with a deep frill forming a bertha and elbow sleeves that are all frills, while trimming is only ruches or the net. but the effect is daintiness itself. At the lower edge of each flounce Is one straight ruche with above it circles of ruching set at about their own diameter apart, and heading the upper one is ruching arranged ;o give a scroll effect. The sleeve frills are simply ruche-edged. Finishing the round neck is a flat band of lace and below this the full frill which Is finished with a straight ruche and headed by a scroll, smaller than that on the skirt, that extends up over the lace and is held at the top by another straight ruche threaded in and out. With the gown is a deep, ?oft girdle of cream messaline satin that is held by three full rosettes at the front, and from which long sash ends depend at the back. Nothing more dainty could be desired, yet material and style are both simple in the extreme. Next week I will tell you of some of the new linen suits and of how elaborate much of the openwork embroidery is, and also something about the new auto costumes, both of which are full of interest Just 'now. For to-day I have space only to add that the summer bids fair to le an enchanting one if onJy women and girls prove themselves equal to the demand and wear their garments well. On the one hand we have these dainty creations of filmy ftuffs; on the other the sturdy things and severe outlines demanded for the hours of active pport and busy life. -To step from the one to the other and to carry oneself well in both requires no mean amount of Fklll, no little power of adaptation; yet to fail is to produce pictures sorry indeed. Whether or not the adaptability of womenkind will be equal to the strain is as yet unproven. Let us hope that it will triumph here, as it has done in many more vital situations, and that our golf girls will drop their golf stride when they don ls.T) dancing gowns; that our auto-loving women will not carry the strained expression of the motor carriage when they enter the dining room gowned in costumes reminiscent of an ago that knew nothing of speed runs nor of record trips.
