The opening scene disclosed her renovating the cottage she had rented for the summer by discarding some of the superfluous pink and blue taffeta curtains and elaborately gold-braided, tassel-trimmed cush- ions which had given the living room the appearance of a boudoir, and she bustled about with a crisp-collared bungalow apron completely hiding 1 her trock. When tho latter was revealed it proved to be the daintiest, most sum- mery creation imaginable. The ma- terial was a soft white silk crepe, and the only touch of color was added in & bit of pale apple-green taffeta ribbon, deftly applied on the bodice. This was fashioned in two pleces—a slightly-bloused foundation and an over-panel at the front ex- tending from the shoulders to below the walstline, where it was finished off in a semi-circle, like an abbrevi ated apron.

Light green ribbon was used to pipe all the outer edges of tho blouse- panel, thus accenting its outlines against the whito foundation bodice. The collar was tapered fo graceful points at each side, and fastened at the centor front by a tailored bow of green ribbon, the ends of which fell nearly to the skirt hem, and were finished with diminutive green balls. The sleeves nvere searcely more than wide shoulder straps. but cuffs of seif-material lengthened them a trifle, while pearl buckles, with long crepe ends drawn through them to dangle over the arms. served to trim them. The skirt was long, and of medium width. In the second act Miss Bainter ap- | peared in an afternoon gown of white chiffon. exquisitely draped. The blouse was really a large square of material, doubled, and cut with a slightly-rounded. 'untrimmed neck- line. It extended over the arms to the wrists, giving the effect of large mandarin sleeves, and white silk tassels with fringe ends which dropped almost to the floor added an effective trimming. The skirt was| fashioned from a long fold of chiffon, wrapped avound so that it overlapped | at one side. and one end of ‘the soft | crepe was caught up to the waistline | with a_pearl ornament, so that « cas- | cade of spiral drapery fell from it. | Carlotta Monterey. also appearing in “The Other Rose’ displayed striking gown of black velvet, fash- ioned on lines which suggested gpe- rlod costume.

The skirt was long | and wide, and successive rows of | gathers at the waist line gave it a decided flare. Miss Monterey's cha- peau was a tricorne of black velvet, a perfect complement to the gown. Gertrude Newman, at Kelth’s, in “Broken Promises,” first wore an evening frock of pale apricot georg- ette, trimmed with silver lace.
