By Paula MA fa L, i. Funny Woman’s Dress And What It Cdésts Her. Edwardes. Sal Copa aqme yaw PAULA EDWARDES. OMEN theatre-gbers seldom no- W tice what the funny woman wears. They think she is {ust wood to laugh at, but when it comes to studying Clothes they watch the leadinx )woman in her trailing, clinging gowns or the ingenue in her girly-girly dresses, ‘Just too sweet for anything,’ and think how glorious it would be to have so much money to spend on their own elothes.”” So/said Paula Edwardes as she drew off @ pair of long suede gloves to make her quick change in the first act of “Winsome Winnie.” “These same women would be amazed to hear that it costs the comedienne considerably moro to buy and renow funny clothis than, it. does the woman who wears pretty ones, In the first place, the woman who plays straight or poclety roles incts deliberately; pases good deal, and ts neyer handied roughly by other actors in the cast. But just see what happens to the ttle come- dienne! She 1s thrown all over the stage, abducted by brigands in her very best frock, and it is an off night when| @ brigand or two does not put his foot through my chiffon flounces. A dress like my best one in the first act is good for just elght weeks, not a day longer. By that time it is a candidate for tho rag-bag. The ruffies are in shreds, the open-work !s simply a wide-open seam and the Iining is torn in strips. Now, the same gown worn by a Miss Barry- more ér a Miss De Wolfe would last | entire season, “Then the comedienne must change her costume more frequently. That is, when the public tires of one specialty, she must introduce a new funny song, and that means a new costume. For in- atance, before we settled on ‘Sing Song Leo,’ I had three different costumes for as many numbe: The woman who plays society parts can go to a modiste or @ smart shop and pick out the same sort of clothes other women are buying. But I must have everything made to order, and {t costs to have special de- signs drawn and executed. The boot- maker charges more for funny shoes than for straight shoes. If you want funny stockings you must have them woven to order. For instance, pair of good silk stage stockings of one color may be bought for $2.60 a pair. But when I wanted my tri-color stockings for my first entrance I had to pay $10 to have them woven for me, The conedienne has more trouble to find just what she aeeds for her part than does the woman\wiho wears clothes Ubat are simply pretty. Suppose I want to have a dress that looks soled, with reat spots all over I. I could not pos- avly wear a dirty dress night after night, so I must Duy a new dress of cheap material, have ft torn and then ‘vadly darned, nnd the spots painted tn ‘with tho same coloring used for tap- astry painting. .Qne of the hardest things to get 1s old shogs, An actrees is naturally particular about her own shoes and does. not accumulate any nid pairs for #tage use, nor foes she want to wear any one’s else cast-off clothes. I had a palr of disreputable old shoes for "The Belle of New York,’ that threatened to go to pieces at every per- formance.- They were beauties from a ccanedy point, and when I lost them lust season I mourned tham as valuable old friends, “It takes a brave woman to wear funny clothes, All women lke to look pretty, but the comedienne knows that if she 1s merely pretty and well-dressed she will not get laughs, and so she makes herself as absurd as ‘posstbl Then she must see all her sister ac- tresses having thelr pictures taken for the fashion pages, and wearing such be- wiidering gowns that the poor little comedienne is quite as stirred by Jeal- ousy as the young girl in private life who finds that all the other girls at party have prettier gowns than her: ——$— NAVAL FIGHTS, Landsman—From what you have ob- served or learned of the few naval en- gagements of late years, what,:!n your opinion, is the chief difforence between modern battleships and the old kind— when it comes to actual fighting?

I believe this woman is not Miss Vereker at all, but an impostor.” Again she compared the sleeping face before ‘her with that In the portrait. Feature for feature, they were appar- ently the same; yet about the sleeper's features lurked that baffling Ukeness to some one Edith had known. Sho could not recall who this “some one” aight be, but the likeness vaguely repelled her, ‘The more she ponderetl over the altua- ‘uon ‘the cnore her mind became a hope- less maze, Of one thing she was certain: This tm- porious beauty who called herself Gladys Vereker was not the came per- son who geven years ago hadi sat for ‘the pontrait of Gludys Vereker.
