Pleasure was afforded by the elaborate program of Scottish music by the orchestra. Mr. Mantell and Miss Hamper put drastic force into their plaving of the chief characters and numerous members of the cast assisted materi- #lly in the tale of ruthless ambition, Svhich led inevitably to disaster, An putstanding feature was the fine elo- ~cution of A.

PREFERENCE which, however, extends beyond Parisian wardrobes—for the new things for Easter, as they come every day into the Woodward & Lothrop Apparel Sections for Women and Misses, are more than likely to be very much pleated, or at least have a touch of pleating somewhere. Pleats that cling gracefully and yield gracefully, pleats in whose lights and shad'ows new fabrics and new colors fall with more beauty, more charm, and more variety. Pleats for frocks, pleats for skirts, and pleats for trimming hats, neckwear, gloves —to accompany these pleated costumes, or to be worn in chic contrast with a more tailored mode. Pleats are variously represented here, in reproductions, or adaptations that smartly dressed women and misses are choosing for Easter, and (7 = STt now.
