ANOTHER EVENT OF THE SEASON."

The new theatre which has come toitage box, with a merry party, was Cécile add itself to the long list of theatres in Paris, the Theatre de la Michodiere, was inaugurated last Tuesday in blate of glory, to which the principal members of the social and theatrical worlds of Paris contributed. The new theatre belongs to the smaller order of theatres, although not 80 diminutive as those which Parisians themselves class under the heading of "bonbonniere." It has been designed according to modern ideals of architecture that reveal long, ing, lines and proportions that are of an elegant simplicity inside. is a harmonious delight of amethyst, grcy and gold decoration. The piece chosen was a new work by the clever young Roumanian, Jacques Natanison. enlled "L'-Infidele Eperdu," a worthy successor to the other two plays by this playwright of twenty-four summers, which scored such triumphs when they were produced before a Parisian audience last year, Les Amants Saugrenus" and "Le Greluchan Delicat.”

FASHIONE IN THE COMING SPRING.

Needless to remark, the dressing is as much a

feature of the play as the dialogue or any other detail of it. Like the decoration of the theatre as well as the theme of Natanson's piquant comedy this is essentially in the modern note, and is interesting on that account as a revelation of the fashions that are to be launched during the coming Spring." In the first net. Melle. Suzanne Dantes, wears a most delicious negligée from the Maison Cyber, carried out in bois de rose crêpe Romain embroidered in slanting strips in blue, pink and gold tones down the front and down the side under each arm; over this is worn a long, straight coat of silver lace the pattern of which is picked out in the same blue, pink and gold tones that figure on the dress; little rosewood satin slippers complete the enserable harmony. In the final act, Melle. Dantes wears over a charming afternoon, frock of beige crêpe Georgette outlined with bands of bottle green crêpe Georgette, a cluth coat in the same shade trimmed, with original motifs of far, and a green felt hat turned smartly up in front.

Melle. Tessier wears perhaps the most original clothes of the three actresses taking part, so that one is not surprised to lears that they were specially design ed for her by Lenief. She proves the present vogue for green, by appearing it the first net in a flared coat in a deep bottle green shade of Ottoman silk, and

A few days later, a new piece was pre- sented for the first time to a Parisian public at the Comédie Française, and the name of the author, Paul Geraldy, coupled with the fact that the play was being given at such an important theatre, turned this also into an event of the season. The title of the play is "Robert et Marianne" and the theme deals with the struggle that naturally eventuates and modern, independent ideals, marry. when two young people with strong wills This enabled Alexandre, the great Alex. made of him one of the finest of contem- andre, to show off the talents that have porary actors and Mme. Berthe Cerny, Rejane to be the most exquisite of to prove that it was not given only to French actresses. In her role, as mother elderly ladies need not necessarily be of Robert, Mme. Cerny proved also that dowdy or unattractive. In the first act, she wears a charming frock in a Parma violet shade of crêpe de Chine, relieved with touches of a deeper purple, and a bat in Parma crinoline straw, turned up sharply at the back, and trimmed with deep purple velvet ribbon. Ta the second' act, she wears black, but a black that is personal and smart to the extent of Pierat, who plays the part of Marianne, being dangerous. Melle. Marie-Thérèse is as modern in her choice of clothes as sha is in her choice of ideals and pre- judices. In the first act, she appears in a sports costume in jersey de soie in a bright orange shade the very short skirt is pleated and the jumper that is warn with it, is long and finished with side pockets and long sleeves; for a de- coration, there are bands of white crêpe de Chine, and the wearer's monogram embroidered largely in front in white silk; the headdress is no more nor leas than a silk handkerchief, bordered with white, twisted round the head like a sari bandkerchief and the ends allowed to fall down on the left side. Shoes of plaited leather strips, in black, white and range shades, complete the ensemble.

In the second act, Melle. Pirate weds a similar jumper and pleated skirt model, but carried out this time in bar- ionising shades of beige. In the third act she demonstrates the latest fur effects by appearing in a coat of face cloth in a becoming bois de rose shade, very much flared from the waist down and trimmed round the hem with triangular-shaped motifs of ermine reach- ing as far up as the knee; underneath,

SABLE AND MINK.

There were so many sable and mink coats among the members of the audience that one almost longed for the sight of a rabbit au naturel one to break the monotony. There was even a chinchilla coat, worn by a beautiful tall fair girl but, I am inclined to believe it was made rather from skins of the chinchilla rabbit than from those of the little South American animal. Such a coat would be worth at least £2,000 or £3,000, and this would be too much even for Paris. Most of the coats were fairly straight in cut, although one or two seemed to be gored slightly from under the arms. They were all, without exception, finished with deep roll collars. A novelty that is most attractive is the seal coat finished with collar and cuffs, or merely collar alone, No longer will it be possible to tor of ermine.
