An Afternoon Frock and an Evening Wrap

If you don't, we'll gtay at home." And Helen realized the futility of Baying more. It was just R:lo when they reached the theatre and the play wasanriounced to play at 8:15. The Other led them down the red-carpteed aisle to their seats. Helen took off her hat and pinned it on the back of the seat in front of her. Then she looked around at the well filled house. There were hardly any seats left in the orchestra and all the boxes were taken. She turned and looked up at the balconies they too, were filled. Helen was keenly conscious that all the men around them were in evening clothes. She wanted to call Warren's attention to this but refrained, knowing it would only irritate him. A beautifully gowned woman with her escort now swept into the row in front of them. Helen caught the subtle odor of a French perfume as she threw back her opera cloak. Her blonde hair was elaborately dressed with jeweled combs, her gown cut very low, displayed the ivory white neck and shoulders. She was unquestionably very beautiful. And her escort, a tall, faultlessly groomed man, was bending toward her with evident pride and admiration. Helen felt very suddenly very plain and insignificant. Her simple little gown seemed cheap and ordinary compared to the expensive elegance of the one befor her. The curtain rose now and Helen's attention was turned to the stage. The scene was the library of an English country house. A young woman in an exquisite pale blue morning gown, (the kind you never see off the stage) was arranging some flowers in a vase. Helen, who in spite of all her idealistic tendencies was a realist at heart, often wondering at the lack of realism of stage gowns. Possibly it was because the actress insists on very beautiful and expensive gowns regardless of their suitability. "The Problem" turned out to be the inevitable triangle one the love of a man for a woman not his wife. And the first act closed with an affecting scene between the husband and wife. The wife, who does not know of her husband's faithfulness, is piteously trying to regain his love. Helen was glad of the applause and the repeated curtain calls, as it gave her time to wink back the tears before the light's flashed tip. Even then she bent over her program as though intent or cast of characters. Act 'ic drawing room the next evening-" she read aloud. "Act III a lodging house in Gower street six months later." Well, it's staged beautifully, and John Hargrave is very good don't you think so?" "He's allright," assented Warren, "only he overdoes it in parts." Helen made several further comments on the play, the setting and the actors, but. as Warren only answered in monosyllables she turned to the advertisements in the program. There was the inevitable skin food with the actress' endorsement, the popular Scotch whiskey, the fashionable tailor with his "Fall and Winter models," the familiar brand of chocolates, and the Broadway restaurant announcing a special after-theatre supper all on one page. On the next page was a tooth paste, a table sauce and a column on "The well-dressed man." "Oh, listen, dear," reading, " 'Quite as many cutaway coats are now braidless as braided, the custom of braiding them having been so overdone that it had become unacceptable to some men. Now you won't have yours braided will you? No matter what the tailor says?" "Wasn't going to anyway. But that thing wouldn't influence me. I'm not following the styles of a theatre program." Here two men who had crowded past them when the curtain fell, now returned. Again Helen stood up, clutch ing at the things in her lap her purse,

Such a one I finally believed 1 found in the person of i.dia C. Vaughn of Richmond, with whom I had for years past formed a slight acquaintance. On the :'Mh l Dec. 1854, we mutually agreed to be helpmates to each other so lonti as what life should last. Visits Dayton. On the "8th of Dec. myself and wife together with brother and sister took the cars on a flying visit to Dayton where we all took dinner at the Phillips houte. lti the evening all returned home except myself and wife.

And although i me marriages trequeiuly obtain the character tarn! often truly! of unhappy matches, there are to this charg many noble exceptions and I feel myself a witness that, there is more than one lovely woman, with whom a man of honor can pass days and nights in peace and happiness. I can now look back on years past and cone, and in some cases feel myself reproaehe.i for the want of exercising a proper temper and unguarded expression and now- think, that many of our errors grow out of an improper education, rather than the lack of a good heart.

The downward slope from the front to the back of the hip drapery is carried out in the original model of an afternoon frock on the left. It is made of light blue satin, with silk and silk veil. The bodice, of silk veil lined with white, is made in the broad kimono style. It is cut V shaped in front, and is edged with a broad band of black velvet, forming a strap line over the shoulders. The sleeves, which are unusually long, are gathered full and tight at the wrists in a small bracelet of veil, finished with a flounce of Arabian lace.

DESCRIBED BY OLIVETTE A small crossed yoke of thin white goods, trimmed with a flounce of lace like that on the cuffs, forms the front of the bodice. The waist band of black velvet is so wide that it makes not only the belt, but the first tunic, encircling the hips. Under it there is a second tunic made of blue silk veil slightly wired, and completed at the hem with a narrow piping of black velvet. The underdress is of charmeuse, slashed to the knees and draped up on each side with the fullness drawn to the front.

The effect in the back is that of a double pannier with panniers over the hips under the wired tunic. The very modish evening wrap on the right is cue on the fashionable and comfortable kimono lines. It it dTaped in front and is trimmed both on the bottom hem and on the high cuffs with a wide beading of velvet. A broad collar of white fox covers all the upper part of the wrap front and back. The wrap is lined with a citroncolored satin. OLIVETTE.

act. In this act the wife discovers her husband's disloyalty. !n a somewhat dramatic scene she confronts him with the proof. She cries out that since she no longer had his love she will accept nothing else. She will go away that he may have the woman he had preferred to her. The man baffled at bay, tried to explain that it wasn't love--that it was only an infatuation. P.ut the wife will accept no explanations. She rushes into her room, returning in a long wrap and a big feathered hat. And the curtain falls as she sweeps off the stage, and, presumably, out of the house, "forever." " leaving the husband standing helplessly looking after her. "What rot!" murmured Warren. "As if any woman would leave her home like that." "You mean she wouldn't wo?" "Well, she wouldn't go in an evening dress and an opera cloak. She probably would have sense enough to put on street clothes and ;it least take her tooth-brush." "Oh. Warren, don't don't please don't be cynical. In some ways it is a wonderful play." "Wonderful! It's wonderful that the people will stand for it. and they call that realism! There's almost as much realism in that as there is in " Pausing for the want of a comparison. "The next act is a lodging house on Gower street, six months later." said Helen, reading from the program. "Huh, I suppose it takes them six months to find they can't live without

"But how did you know dear." asked Helen as they made their way ort. "Did you read a review of the play?" "A review? Von don't, have to read a review to know what the third a-vt of that will be when you've seen the other two. I've yet to see one of these plays that I couldn't dope out the ':st act as well as the author. They're all alike. Originality is the last thing to expect.
