With the development of New York as the fashion centre of the world, grand opera is becoming a symphony of dress, with the music as a merc accompaniment, Times may be good or bad, but the parterre boxes aral radiant in their glory; and the profi- |teer who lost the major part of his fortune since he bought his seats at tho opera occupied them last night with a cynical nonchalance, The outstanding feature of this super-dress exhibit ta the emphasis on linos, straight Ines, lines simple to the, effect of Greek drapery, This is the logical result of fashion's trend toward simplicity of line and com- plexity of colors, Of black, which Coat} be my. directing the Anthracite] Pletely const District Attorney Lewis of Kings | !
