PHILLIPS. # Miss Pearlie Fattershall yawned languidly over her noon sandwiches. “Have you been to the op'ra?’ she inquired of the stenographer from across the hall. “Oh, yes,” assented that young per son, in accents of withering scorn. “I've been to the op'ra, and I wore my $500 Paris gown and my Russian sables and the diamond tarara 1 had such a time getting through the cus- toms house, and 1 went in my new $10,000 limousine, too!" “Wake up!" commanded Miss Fat- tershall. “They'll let you in for less than that! 1 went the other night myself, and, really there's just as much fresh air up in the clouds as down in the parguet. The view was grand. 1 could look down into most of the boxes and so¢ what our very best peo- ple were wearing. In some cases it did not take long. “There was one woman with a white feather duster eighteen inches long, stuck in her huir, who fascinated me. | Did she have a hole cut in the roof of her automobile, or did she sit on fts floor while she was coming, or did she stick her head out of the window all the way. as thongh she was going to yell for the police? “I noticed that most of the women had feather dusters of some sort or other, more or less, fastened to their coiffures,” Miss Fattershall went on, “and that must have been why the men were eternally leaving the boxes. 1 suppese they stood it as long as they could and then they had to retire to the lebby to gneeze. 1 should think each of them would slip a pair of scissor his vert pocket and snip off those feathers when they became troublesome.

KNOWS GOOD CLOTHES, | Inexpensive Freshening will Make ! Shop-Worn Garments Look Like New—Pretty Design for a ; Velvet Frock, i The best that the season has to offer is being shown and being worn now. and one really does get admirable bargains now in the shops it one knows how to buy and can freshen up handsome modeis a trifle shop-worn from handling. Many women who know good clothes, but can never | afford to buy early in the season the imported frocks which they covet, make a point of waiting until the bar- gain sales for these purchases. They usually make a point, too, of buying such things as may be made to do duty all the year around, and that is an casy matter in this day when shoeer fabries are used for winter as for summer. Naturally frocks of the kind are not tion winter garments whose tenure is limited, and whose lines may be out of fashion before another winter; but one can pick up pretty afternoon frocks and evening gowns and conts‘ at great reductions, and though these may be a trifle shopworn, a very little inexpensive freshening will make them look as well as any frock would after a single wearing. And one does get the modishness, and, above all, the line, the cut, which the frock or coat cheap from the start does not have, The velvet costumes and frocks are among the best of the season’s bar- gains. This winter's lines are so in- dividual, and, in many cases,, 80 ex- treme, that holding winter models over to another scasen would be haz- {ardeus busin for the merchant.

There was the duel between the rivals, for instance, with Lady Leonora falling senseless at the furl- ous clash of steel by the two who | hated each other desperately. At least, that's what the libretto led me to expect. What happened was that after the basso had politely waited for the tenor to finish his warbling about how he was going to slash him to mincemeat the two crossed their swords In the alr as though preparing for the chorus to walk under in a procession, and Leonora brushed a fly off her ear and gazed into the wings while the curtain fell. “Then,” proceeded Miss Fattershall, “when the rivals are trying to abduct Leonora from the convent the libretto told how distracted she was and how she finally yields to the troubadour who carries her off triumphantly Well, I wish you could have seen her toddle meekly off after him, as though she was going to buy a spool of thread, and merely wondered who could be the good looking gentleman | in front of her “Put say!
