The Gowns, and How Audience and Performers Acted. Society, in the most exclusive use of the term, came, listened and applauded at the charity concert last evening in a way worthy of itself, the performers and the programme. A compiler of a blue bogk could have got out his list with ease and accuracy just by jotting down the *“among those present,” and might truthfully have said, | “This is the 400.” The audience just comfortably filled the Searles gallery. It was, naturally, well dressed. 1t warmed, natufally again, but_slowly to the treat offered, but once enthused it clapped its heartiest and smiled its kindliest. Society ways and society manners | stopped, however, with the audience. Those who took part in the programme | were as professional as it was possible to be at so short a notice. Edgar Mills, like a real live tenor, developed a case of too much climate, and Horzce Platt, smooth and glib as a truly impresario, made Mills’ excuses and begged indulgence of “the splendid audience for his substitute, one who is always suré to please—Donald de V. Graham.” Then_ there were other interesting bits not down on the pro- gramme. Most impressive of all, how- ever, was - when Jack Casserly got a splendid hand as he deftly removed his wife's harp from the stage. No flowers went over the footlights, just like a truly performance, except to the prima donna assoluta, Mrs. Flora Arn- old. There was a tremendous bunch of American Beauties and another of flam- ing carnations for her, and she received them with a ravishing smile, a generous courtesy and a pleasing encore. There was considerable nervousness on the part of those who assisted, but it was the ladies who contributed the greater amount of stage fright to the programme. This nervousness. however, did no more than to make them look pale and the whole affair went off without a single hitch. There were some gorgeous seen in the audience and some rarely beautiful gowns worn by the ladies whc so_splendidly assisted. Miss Bessie Ames and Mrs. Arnold were most attractive in stunning black gowns.

Miss Agnes Bergin wore a flaming red gown that set off her iare blonde beauty to splendid advantage. Mrs. Lathrop and Mrs. Casserly chose white as the color of their gowns. Mrs. Casserly’s dress was sweetly simple as a debutante’s and M:s. Lathroo's gown was made strikingly attractive by the ar- tistic arrangement of a big black vel bow that was deftlv fastened to ths bodice. In the audience as well as on the stage there was a wealth Lf jewels, rare laces and gowns that represented the best art of hat and dress makers. Mrs. Eleano* Martin wore a magnificent gown of finest black chantilly over white silk. The gor- geous net trailed fully a yard behind her and covered the entire dress. Miss Jennie Blair's opera coat was composed entirely of duchess lace and ovened ‘to reveal a splendid white satin gown trimmed with pink roses. Miss Hurley of Boston, who was Miss Blair's guest. was gorgeously arrayed in a glittering black gown with out a_ single dash of color to relieve 1t. Miss Frances Hopkins was also magnifi- cent in an all black glitter gown. She wore a red rose in her hair that was most ef- fective. The Tavlor box was without exception the most attractive on account of its oc- cupants of any in the house. In it wers Mr. and Mrs. Will Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Taylor, Miss Georgiana Hop- kins, Mjss Frances Hopkins and Miss Therese Morgan. All the ladies in this Lox with the ex- ception of Mrs. Gus Taylor were in fuli evening dress and all with the exception of Miss Frances Hopkins wore white. © et @ THROWS LIGHTEL -LANP AT WOMAN Maggie Pfaff in a Rage Se- g verely Injures Mamie Marvin, —_— Maggie Pfaff, a married woman, quar- reled with Mamie Marvin at the home of the last named, in the rear of 1411A Fol- som street, last- night, and after a wordy argument ended the affair by throwing a lighted coal oil lamp into the face of her unfortunate opponent. Neighbors were attracted to the scene by the. cries of the helpless victim, who was running about the yard in a vain en- deavor to find some way of putting out the flames that enveloped her. A blanket was thrown over the woman and the flames smothered. A call was sent for an ambulance and the sufferer was soon on her way to the Recelving Hospital. It was found that the woman was severely burned about the face, breast and back. " Her burns were dressed and she was put to bed. The police were notified and they found Mrs. Pfaff at her home on Harrison street, near Twelfth. She was brought to the Southern Police Station and a charge of assault to murder placed against her. “The Marvin woman has been separated from her husband for some time. The neighbors claim that her home has been the rendezvous of a number of women, who get drunk and make night hideous Wwith thelr orgies. Mrs. Marvin claim that when she re- turned home early last evening she found the door to her room barricaded and charged Mrs. Pfaff, who was near by, with annoying her.’ Mrs. Pfaff followed Dber into the house after an entrance had been effected- and -began to abuse her. Suddenly she picked up the lamp, so it is claimed, and hurled it at Mrs. Marvin. e bedding in the room was burned and only quick action of the neighbors pre- vented the burning of the house. Mrs. Pfaff denies throwing the lamp and claims that it was upset accidentally.
