THE CLOTHES OF THE ENTERTAINME: Ladies wil! be delighted with Khea’s costumes: they ure all charming. The frst dress of jambe de nympbe color (which must notbe confounded with the jummed leg" color of old Mrs. Dusen- burs's dauvgbier's dress, which turned out prop- erly to be blue-black) had a trimming of open- work passementerie and embroidery on wine- colored velvet, with a fringe of colored drops, and buttons, and other Jittle dangling things in. claret and gold and various shades of brown. The second dress wasa bigh-necked house costume of dark blue embossed velvet and pale blue silk; the wast and oue diagonal piece in front and a square lonped bit of drapery behind were of the Velvet, tne skirt and a vest like trimming on the waist of biue silk: one side of the skirt was cuvered with rows of blue bead fringe, and blue-beaded passementerie orna- mented other portions of this very elegant and becoming costume. The country dress was of white silk, with an underskirt covered with large fan-plaits in creamy sutiu, which showed: up the frout; a plain waist with a bouquet of erimson and tea roses on the bosom. “In this simple dress,” as Camiliccalied it, Rhea looxed as innocent as an unweaned dove. ‘The fourth-act costume was the very splendid $1,209 creatiou—a magnificent robe, but not as effective on the stage as was expected.

Inthe last act, when she axain ealis fora wrap to go to the’ chureb in, she bas brought to her a silver-colored plush ‘cloak bordered with silver-fox fur.

The huadsomest thing in the way of a cloak that hus heen seen here for a lon time was ex- hibited in the window ofa prominent furrier Jast week. dt was uw plain cfreulur fifty-four inches deep, made of sealskin, lined with quilted ‘erfiuson satin, and ornamented with a deep pointed bood of sealskin, lined with crimson plush.

Once ina while some accident makes public property of such romauce. us tho practical, everyday world belleves to exist only in books. About five years ago a proud and wealthy woman discovered 2 correspondence between her cherished daughter and the young clerk of a rug store witn which sbe dealt.

People thrilled with horror as they read the other night of the awful accident at tho corner of South Fifth avenue and Grand street. Now, South Fifth avenue sounds to Chicago ears like a very ereditable locality, whereas it is a squalid thoroughfure, given over to colored fulks, Italians, ud the poorer clusses generally, The building that fell.on the corner of Grand street “and (bis avenue. was a migerabie tenement, and on the top. floor” were several famthes, one of these named Hill.

Now, I had my information from an eye- witness of the ceremony, and knew whereof 1 wrote.

His name was Kadour. He came from the tribe of Djendel, and was one of the handful ‘of. Turecos who had thrown themselves into Paris in the train of the army of Viney. He had gone through the entire campaign from Wis- sembourg to Crampigny, darting over the fields of battle like a storm-bird, with his iron drumstieks and his derbouka (Arab drum), so quickly, so restlesiy, that the balls could not hit him. But when winter came on this little piece of African bronze, red- dened in the tire of caunister shut, was unt- able to bear the nights of guard duty anid motionlesness in the snow; sou, one January morning, they found him on the bank of the Marne twisted by.the cold and with his feet frozen.

These seemed to radiate light as if under protest; as if the darkness were one which they cither feared or did. not care to struggle against. There were several people in tho saloon, huddled by twos in corners, holtow- eyed as from want of sleep, clinging to the tables to offset the desperate plunzing of tho ship, with discomfort and apprehension written on every feature. ‘Tho wind bad suddenly changed avout day- brea. “It had blown all the wight from the south, and now it bad swung around a little north of west, and was pounding us like a huge battering-ram.

Meanwhile the storm, the uproar, the frantic aor struggles of the boat increased. One could stand nowhere without a support.

Somehow, even those of us who were net coa- stitutionuily timid, and who were not new to the ways of the sea, separated that night with a sort of ieadén feeling about the beart. ‘The long passuze to my stateroom seemed Iu- comparibly gloomy.

In fact. contemplated this possibility as rather in the nature of a relief. Horrible night! Every few moments a huge wave launched itself against the starboard side neur the bow, and bruke with a detonation like that of a heavy gun. Struck, the great sbip would stop, as it were, and shudder through its tength like a tag of lite which. hed received a mortal blow. At short intervals there would pass ulong the side of the vessel a great rush of water, accompanied by a terrifte biss,anud a great, hollow roar, as if the ship were being sucked into a crater of whirling waters.
