Tight-Fitting Coats are Now Favored by Designers The new figure must take the lines of the tight jacket, fitted by means of seams and puckers, De- signers having gone further than fit- ting from neck to hips, have revived set-in sleeves, than which there is rothing more difficult to perfectly ad- | just. That Bernard appreciates the possi- bilities of puckers is shown in the jacket of a banana drap Altesse cos- tume. Its fronts, opened in a sharp V to the wal line, are drawn together there in a series of shallow, horizon- ta) puckers, starting at the under-arm seams and gatherel closely beneath a clasp of self-silk passementerie, He also clearly displays a liking for the long back which in this banana drap Altesse model, smooth at its center, is | closely fitted to #the figure with side puckers running from the fronts and cthers coming into line below them, for this elongated back curves to the base of the hips. It also draws in at the waist line. Time, care and skill were devoted to the setting-in of the elbow sleeves and to the adjusting of the high-standing turned-over collar, which ends just in front of the ears. Darts Again Employed. Premet resorts to puckers in the fit- ting of the jacket of an Aubergine ribbed taffeta. Here the fronts, fas- tened straight from under a broadly turned-over Venetian lace collar to the base of the hips are closely fitted with a series of cross-gathers starting near the bust. From the bust line to the waist and then slanting |into the under-arm seams run darts which take up every scintilla of full- ness or flare. Premet's clinging long back, unlike Bernard's, is fitted with three seams. One runs straight from the neck and | two gradually curve from the eyes, all vanish under a sash from the fronts of the coatcxtends in low-placed ripples about the hips, darts and arm- which | They Indicate Departure of Straight Silhouette and Re- turn of Small Waist -Set-in Sleeves Are Also Being Restored. knots there, of the skirt. Sct-in Sleeves Restored. Set-in, narrow long sleeves carry out the clinging effect of this jacket, Which belongs to a slightly draped skirt veiled to the knees with a self- color embroidered net flounce, and falls over the back Frankly fitted with seams and darts | are two examples of the arriving tight | cket. One of these, of mauve taf- feta, worn with a skirt in mauve tulle and ruffled from feet to waist, bears striking likeness to the 1870 basque. For its fronts, shaped by two high dares, are primly closed with small buttons, its back is triple-seamed to curve in at the waist and its set-in sleeves are close-fitting. Conventional coat sleeves distin- guished the other basque. This also buttons from under a flat turn-over collar to the hips, but seams, running into the shoulders at the neck, fit its fronts, and any extra fullness is taken up by the under-arm joinings. It is in tete-de-negre taffeta and goes with a very full skirt of a matching shade in tulle, shirred closely about the hips, falling in voluminous folds about the figure, A foot ruffle in tulle emphasizes the quaintness of this costume, Close-Slecved Bolero Jacket. The transition period of the jacket is seen in a costume in Persian blue taffeta and black lace. The sleeves, closely fitted from elbow to wrist, are adjusted to seams starting at the neck | and line, Near the bust groups of tiny gathers prevent undue strain upon the silk, curving, bolero-like to the waist Lut the fronts are quite plain and are | al the throat turned back to form a pointed collar, which is widened by a sewed-on band. From the side seams silk sash ends cross the back, join be- low the hips and fall low over a blue taffeta skirt veiled with over-lapping Chantilly ruffles. garet O'Leary with a dash and spirit i that stirred the audience from gallery ito pit. Her lines were interspersea | with sharp, pithy sentences that car- | ried piercing shafts of sarcastic humor iwhich were used to clinch many a I good point. Miss O'Leary was dressed in street attire all through and she de- livered her lines with snap that brought her much applause.

Bonney as Richard Milbank deserves special mention hecause of its naturalness. He wasn't stagey, but discussed the troublesAn which his concern was engaged in a sensible off hand manner, . dismissing seemingly unimportant matters with a snap of his fingers or a gesture to indicate the sincerity of his feeling. Mr. Callahan played Stedman well as he always plays his parts and Albert Volz gave a good character touch to the part of an agitator. J A. Maher, who did such good work as a New York politician in the previous T. A. B. perform- ance, was a labor leader of the un- compromising type and was made up to look the part. The remaining characters were well drawn and the play went off quickly, smoothly and without itch. The young ladies were nicely remembered by their friends for when they left the stage at the close of the second act they had their arms filled with flowers. The audience was large. “BELLE OF RICHMOND” POPULAR AT LYCEUM The final week’s bill of the Lyceum Players' cngagement, “The Belle of | Richmond,” is now heing presented at the Russwin Lyceum. In addition to the performance this evening there will be a matinee Thursday after- noon. The Belle presented of Richmond" is being with an augmented com- pany. Miss Barton, who has been seen ir: a number of different attractions, is again with the company and a new player, Mr. Todd of New York, is with the cast. The popular favorites of the cempany can be seen in congenial roles. Mrs. Hibbard has a most pleas- ing part for this week. Manager Birch is very much pleased with the expression of the desire on the part of the theatergoers to have the company return next fall for an- other engagement. The theatergoing public have an opportunity this week to show their appreciation of the management’s endeavors to please.
