A very stylish white crepon has the corsage set off by an application of guipure for coilar, yoke and basques. The skirt was made quite plain in front and had guipure quills on each side. The sleeves, which were rather high and bouffant, had three rows of guipure below the elbow. : In my last illustration you will find a very pretty costeme for a child, the material being a white sural, richly trimmed with lace.

New York, September 12, 1891. MY ROBSAKT'S LIFE WAS SAVED t a fashionable Broadway theater this week. It made no difference that Sir Walter Scoit, in dovising a history of this heroine closed her careor in a pitifuldeath. ‘The dram- ativt was bound to bringher out of her troubles happily. He did this by making the villainous Varney plan to entice her on a deceitful bridge, which should fall under her weight and pro- cipitate her todeath. ‘The stage carpenters and scene painters had dono their work well and presumably rehearsals had seemed to complete the preparations. Varney should have blun- deringly gone on the bridge himse:t and been killed by the full wich he had intended for Amy. He wax enacted by vo experienced an old stager as Barton Hill, who strode out on the bridge at the proper moment, but down he didn’t go at all. The bridge wouldn't break. The hand which should have touched off the trigger, or in some other way loosened the struc- ture, was somewhere else at the cvitical juni ture. Varney was astounded and not at all pleased escape. He erossed over the bridge in safety-and his voice was heard in yexpostuiation for an instant. Then he ned to the center of thw bridge and de- liberately threw nimself over i:8 side.

So it is not uukind to her memory to give a remin- ke played Amy iobsart at Booths Theater about twenty yeurs ago, and the climax of the a was oscntially the sume bridge scene already described. In her version she was to cross the bridge first in safety, and that episode was one of the most thrilling things in the perfoi . Neilson depicted the woes of the young wite of the Earl of Leices- ost delicaey and pathos and 1 the keenest sympathy of her audience, when Varney seemed about to murder her it was with y that some of the mc impulsive spectators refrained from giving a warning cry as she stepped forth on the peril- ous bridg But one night she came to the theater di- reetly from a champagne supper, and continued to quatf that beverage during the intervals of the performance. A3 the play progressed it became evident that she was intoxicated to the verge of incapacitating her. and Manager Harry Palme now dead and gone,was apprised of the danger. He foresiw that she would not be able to cross that bridge without tumbling T over. He told her so and advised her to omit the effort, but sue undertook to prove her stead iness of gait by walking «crack in the floor. though she failed under that test of sobri she still maintained that she could go across the bridge. Seeing that it was impossible to restrain her, Palmer sent out hastily to ancigh- boring hotel for a dozen mattresses and these d underneath the bridge, out of the sight, but where they would catch the actress safely if she should full. And fall she did, as he had anticipated, and, for onc atleast, the dramatist was frustrated in his scheme of thwarting Sir Walter Scott's plot and saving Amy Kobsart's life PLENTY OF FINst NIGHTS. The theatrical week has been full of “first nights,” and to the distraction of first-nighters three “first nights” occurred on the same night.
