Appropriate Dressing.

Henry Irving once preached quite a terse sermon on appropriate dressing. A clever young woman belonging to hla company appeared at rehearsal one morning dressed in a lovely gown and a stmining hat. Irving commented on the unusual splendor of her get-up, whereupon the actress explained that she was going to a swell luncheon that afternoon and had saved time by dressing in advance. “Then run away to the luncheon first, my dear young lady.” said the star. ‘‘Just now your mind, too, is dressed up for the luncheon and not for work. When you come to rehearsal come looking the part.” The young woman, who is now a star, never forgot the lesson she learned that morning.
