Last Tuesday evening o Jarge and sclect andience assembled ot Standard Hall 1o witncss the performance of Boucicault's new and spark- ling_comedy entitled “How She Loves Him,” by the Farragut_Boat-Clab, assisted by several young ladies. The success that attended the ¥ throurhout, althoush great, was. not sur- prising to the many Iriendsof the Farrazats, for their many notable dramatic entertaipments in the past zave ample room to anticipate auother briliang success 1n this instance. The play pro- duced Tuesday evening was a uovelty in its way, exhibiting. bumor, scutiment, and pathios withont introducing that coarse yulgarity £0 comnon in many otberwise p..asing comedies. The management deserye pu little credit for the careful and painstaking manner in which the comedy was put upon the stage, and,covsidering the meagre facilities in the w: of stage raom and stage accessorics at their dis- posal, it was_indeed remarkably smooth in every particular. Miss Mamie Wheeler, as frs. Nettictop, developed an unususl aptness 2nd talent for an ainateur, her scting through- out showing careful and intelligent_study, with 2 clear conception of the most” difficult " parts. Miss Isavellé Richmav, as Afalanta, deserves special mention for the creditable mauner in which she enacted the most exacting vole assigned to her.. She has a remarkably clear enunciation, and Dick feartly mizht well have felt proud of his ardent_sweetheart. Miss Lou Washburn's impersonation of Selina Rafleticket was a most refreshing and highly commendable piece of amateur _acting, in' fact, she made o decided *hit.” Mr. Til Johnson assumed the Tole of T Nettletop, in some respeets tho most diftieult in the cast, and bis conception and actine of the character was a marked success. Sir Abel Hotspur found in Mr. Lyman B. Glaver a faithtul and conscientious represeatatise of {he eccoutricities of bis character, his perform- auce being one of the most iuished. Mr. Will- iam N.Perty, as Dick Heartley, rendercd the char~ scter of the * poor but bonest™ lover in a most creditable and satisfactory style, giving it a tone and finish suited to an_honorable and injured gentleman, Mr. Fred T. Haskell in the double Fole of Doody, the Irish retainer, and Dr. Skwertz, the Germau physician, schiesed a suc- <5 aod gained a reputation for 3 Jow come- ian that will be lasting, Mr. G. R. Blodgett's Spraw'ey, the gentec] * sport,” was a neat siece of acting. Messrs. Charles Downs, Cass, Chase. aud A. O. Downs acquitted themselves credita- bly, leasing nothing to be desired. Az a whole, the performance was one of thic best ever ziven by an amateur club in Chicago, and deserses to De ranked very high in the scale o amateur dramatic successes. The cutertalnment con- cluded with a dance, & goodly number of the sudience pasticipating. A DELIGHTFUL PARTY. Ars.

NEW YORK THRER GRAND ENTERTAINMENTS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. NEW YORK, May 23.—After lingering for sev- eral weeks with a faint fiicker—apparently on the point of explring—the gageties of the sea- son have flamed up with a mid-winter brillancy, and the heart of the modiste and dealer has re- jolced exceedingly. Threc grand envertafn- ‘ments during the week have made large de- mands-upon the tastes of costumera and the wardrobes of our fashionables. The first of these, in priority, if not in brilllancy, was the reception to the President and Mrs. Hayes, and wooderful were the toifets of the ladies who assemble to do honor to the first lady in the land. The toilet of the hostess was very hand- some; of rieh black velvet, full court train, trimmings of rare point lace and bauds of handsome white feathers. The coif- fure was adorned with diamonds and a white sigrette. - A marvel of clegance was a dress of wyiel ¥ blue poult de eoie. The front revealed 2 princess dress, while the train fell from the ghonlders iu a full broad Watteau pleat. From the bottom of the skirt half-way to the waist te front seam and the two sfde scams were teft open, so that every movement revealed a petticoat of delicate rose satin. lu front of the peck the dress was cut in Pompadour style, and trimmead with a fril) of finest point Ducliesse. The sleeves were made rather long, but were Jooped by clusters of roses to the fashionable clvow lenzth. From them depended fall of point lace. The train was lined with rose- colored satin, and garnished fts entire lcogth by clusters of pink roscs. With this toilet was worn a_parure of maguificent rubies and dia- mands fine epourh to be an heirloom. OI course You have slready heard that Mrs. Hayes® dove- Tike eyes smiled on the guests over a0 exquisite toilette of dove-colored silk daintily ornamented with tulle,—a chaste and elegant dress. Another very striking costume was _of dark-blue silk, rithed with innumerable pleatings, rufBes, ete., of maudarin satin, the whole set off by floral garnitures of yellow and erimson roses. ‘An extremely beantifitl toilette was of a sbade ihat seemed by turns ashes-of-roses and tbat Joveliest of tints, French gray. ‘The dress was cu 8 1a Princesse,with g pointed opening at the throatund with sleeves reaching midway between wrist and cibow, and open up the outer scam. Beginning at the waist, and widening as It de- seonds, was 3 moss of Tichest embroidery repre- Senting clusters of pink acacias, sprays of pink and white honeysuckle, aud vines of . delicate ivy-leaves. The colors arc exquisitely delicate, 20 the work dope by hand, and wonderfully true to matare. The back of tbe skirt falls in {he graceful traip peculiar to the Princesse, and is ornamented by what is known 28 rose-bud or rose-leaf trimmings. 1t consists of many folds of silk of each color used in the dress or trims wmings, and Jaid one un avother. The edges are deeply raveled and clustered 60 as to form @ lgvely mossy trimming.. On this dress the rose-bud border combines gray, rose, and delicate _green, and forms & pretty fimish to this very attractive dress, A very ele- gant tollette was of rich gold-tolored gaze de Chambery, “with trimmings of rarest black thread lace and one buuchof scarlet roses form- fngz the bouquet de corsage. The second of our grand entertainments calicd for o different style of costutwes, and our belles dames responded bravely and creditably 10 the call. This was a breakfast, and oue very Pandsome aress had the skirt of rich chestuut- Drown ellk, with two_pleated flounces. The overdress, o graceful polonaise, is of brown of the same shade, with a rich brocade desizn of bronze. This arment was closed down the front by handsome brown buttons ‘EMDROIDERED WITH NRONZE THREADS, and o fripze of brown and branze borders the \edre. A bonnet of fine English straw istrimmed With two soft silk scar(s, one of chestout browp, 1R other of a lizht bronzo. yellows These are .crosvd of spectstara. gracefully wound sround the crown and end in 8 series of loops at the left. Across the front 1s a coronal of some delicate bronze leaves min- gled with fine sprays of golden rod and small chesnut burrs. Six-button “ gauts de Suede add all that js needed fo Sl out this tasteful costume. Another very elegant dress was of ‘heavy black silk, the sikirt long, and bordered by & doap box-pleated flounce. The pecullarity of this flounce consisted 1o its ending at the back side scams where thie train bezan. This train, very long, and Wwith square ends or corners, was _ perfectly plain.. Fnllw over the flounce was & long, O fringe of cut . jot .surmounted Dby a rich galoon of the same. Across the front breadth are three rows of this galoon, which is quite wide and from each of which depends a fall of fringe. The basque, a long, coat * habit, is trimmed with galoon and fringe, and closed with hand- gome jet buttons. The back of the basque, a veritable swallow-tall, is likewise ornameunted. Worn with this isa * love of a bonoet,” one of Vivot's choicost productions. It {8 of finest black Neapolitan, a delizhtful round bonnet, with a dainty wreath of delieate yollow blos- soms, sud $wo_pale, sulphur-tinted plumes. A barbe of the finest thread lace completes this stylish bonnet. A third very dlstingnished looking dress was of rich wine-colored satin, the skirt long and Jnin, with no wrimming save a moderate- y heavy velvet cord asround {be edge. The overdress was & loni polonaise of velvet of similar shade. Around the bottom it was cut _in rather decp slender points, cach onc ornamented by a large chenille tasset, The ‘Dbonnet accompanying thls dress was of tilleul and wine-colored satin With flower-sprays and leaves cunningly whought of chenille. The third demand for sowmething clegant in_cos- tumes was for those fitted to grace a fete cham- petre. Ta my mind these seemed the prettiest and moat pleasing of all. One tasteful costume adorning o piquante little brunette wss of Jawn of a delicate rose, soft and uushowy enough to receive with impunity the most glowing glances of 01d Sol.” The skirt had a gathered ruffle, surmounted by s pieated one, both edeed with Torelion Jace of a very fine variety. Tho head= ing to the plisse consisted of a band laid in bias tucks or pleats and edged on cach side by @& gathered rufile of lace. The overdress falls ia a decp point on the left, snd at the b is looped high, while the back is arrayed in an_indescribable mass of puffs and drapery, 2ll fullness and fluffiness being, however, some distanco below the belt. The waist s Jnid in plails, the outer edze of cach being trimmed with 2 row of narrow Tor- chon, both back and front. A-belt of lawn trimmed on both sides by & gatliered ruflle of lace confines the walst. "The sleeves, which are of ordinary coat shape, begin after passing the elbow to widen o little, and are open some fnches above the wrist, thus affording coul- uess and freedom to the arm. A round hat of fine Tuscan braid has the brim upturned at the back, aud 3 ornamented with loops of black velvet and bunches of pink roses. A dainty sandal, secured by two 5traps across the instep, serves but Saorly to_vonceal the pretty, soft, pink hose clocked with white. ANOTHER CHARMING DRESS was of onk-brown foulard, the underskirt just mceting the ground at the back and rather short infront. At the bottom of the skirt is a foot deep plaiting of fine grés-train of a rich cardinal color. Over this falls a picce of almast equal width, eut in long, This is of the light-brown foulard, and the polnts are edzed with a very narrow {ringe of both eolors. The overdress i€ similarly trimmed around the edee, ouly on 4 nurrower seale. Tho back cousists of threg straight widths, two of foulard and the centre one of cardinal gros- grain, These are 50 arranged as to formi a raceful drapery. A tight-fittine polated waist 15 of cardinal stik, and over thisisa smallslceve- Jess jacket, made in the stylish “coat™ shape at the back. The trimminy on this matehies the rest of the costume, and It 18 further adorned Dy buttons arrapged in sequins. These buttons, difforent from any I have seen before, are not *gmoked™ mother-of-pearl, but bave, instead of the grayish tinge, a lovely golden-browa tint or shadow on them. The hat accompauying this model costume * was a broad Leghorn flat, coquettishly uptarned at one side, and orna- monted there by & cluster of deep-red roses. The remainiog garniture was a wreath of -dark- green leaves and red roses, with cardinal stream- ers at the back. A very simple, bat withal a styltsh and pleas- inz, dress was of soft Freach gray. _The skirt of serge bad no trimming save ove box-pleated Hounce Lut op with 3 beading of its own. The polonaise was of that most graceful of models, the Amantine. The material of which it is made is a pretty wixture of silk and wool, a ground of the latter beiny bandsomely broeaded with o silk design of a darker tint. At {ntervals of an inch and half apart are tiny lines of delicate pink imparting a pretty brizhtuess to the dress. The lflmm(?fi is a haudsome mossy fringe with a deep etted heading, bows af botn materials, and 2 profusion of mother-of-pearl buttons. Compicting this tastsful costuine was a bopnet of English straw trimmed with moss-zreen vl Yot and soft crush roses. The ouly face trim- ming consisted of @elicate ruches of iltusion. A barbe of this dainty material conlincd at the Dback of the bonnet by loops of green velvet and pretty Mhall- onen buds, s crosssd beveath the chin in front, and beld in 1plncc by snother bunch of roses, Gauntlets of soft. gray, delicately embroldered, made this charming costume and its handsome wearer look as * pretty as a picture.” All_manners of "“‘.Y lawns, organdies, pereales, ete., made their * Grst appearance * to the chagrin of sifk and such fabrics, which suf- fered au almost universal cclipse.

Speciar Correspondence of The Tribune. Paws.

The “chapeaux de voyage *arc Tyrolean shape, of steel-colored etraw, with broad bands of velvet clasped by backles of highly-wrought, glitrering steel. Some of these bands are stud- ded with small steel ornaments, and others with jer. or stecl heads. The emblematic significance of flowers scems more fmportant now than their beagty or ar- ranzement a Ja mode, and the violet of the Bonapartists, the Bourbon litv, and the Repub- {tean red even in floral decorations are becom- ing more antagonistic every day.

DRESS-REFORM IN TURKEY. The Turkish authorities at Constantinople are devoting the leisurc-moments of war-time to the cause of millinery and dress-reform. The women are dressing fn an unseemly snd scan- dalous fashion, and, according to the Pall-fall Gazette, the Head of Police has put spies on their track in the streets and bazars. “ Their -bered- jes,” snith the edict, “instead of being of a sombre and uniform tint,are dyedwith the most varied and fantastic colors. - Their yashmaks, instead of forming a veil of thick material, are mado of light gauze. Their feet, instead of be- ing shod fn_the anclent and simple yellow s)j per, are confined inridiculous and uncomfortable opots of Frankish orizin.. All this must at once disappear.” Any Turkish_lady found wearing cither of the articles of attire prolibited will not be atlowed to £o out in future unless she is properly aressed, In the event of her traus- gressing a second time, she will be fined.

Still, he followed her, and when she threw herself into the Seine, plunzed in and brought herto land. As he was climbiog up the bank, however, he slipped back into the river, and, being exhansted by his previous ex- ertion, was unable to save himself. His wife seeing bis sltustion, plunged in after him, but nsshe could not swim, that was of Do avail, and both must have drowned had it not been for the timely arrival of some policemen, who pulled them out.
