Her engagement to Mr. Warren C. Fairbanks,son of Senator and Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks,has just been announced.
away," said Margaret, "and I shall haveto tell It because it was the one memorableepisode of my whole long summer alone.You all know how I live In the upper flatof our old home, with the large garden allaround it. I have been taking my dinnersall summer with some friends about Aveblocks away. One evening, feeling a littlelonely and depressed, I dressed for dinnerin my new pink organdie frock and wremy prettiest summer hat. nearly all pinkand white chiffon. Feeling very much ar-rny- ed
and a trifle brighter because of mydecorative appearance I went off to neydinner, never looking at the sky or dream-ing of rain. My mind was so bent on mygood clothes, too, that I forgot my latch-key. My tenants below are away for thesummer, so they couldn't let me in, but Iwent along down street with a vague ideathat I could get in somehow when the timecame. How foolish to bother about troubleseveral hours before I had to.
"We had a lovely dinner and my friendssaid nice things about my becoming attire.After we had chatted on the front piazzaa while some one said it was going to rain,so I rose and flew off without an umbrella.It was only a few blocks and I hate thebother of returning borrowed umbrellas.Before reaching home, however. I was pret-ty thoroughly dampened and there I waswith no front-doo- r key. I rushed aroundto the back porch and sat there until thestorm slackened. It was then dusk and.somehow or other, the house must be gotinto. No lower windows were open, butone back upper window I knew to be un-
fastened. My neighbors were kind, but, ina draggled organdie frock and wilted chif-fon hat I did not feel like calling in spec-tators.
"So to the woodshed I adjourned andthere removed the garments of my banishedgrandeur the damp hat and the drizzledpink ruffled skirt. In my bodice and petti-coats I tugged out a tall stepladder andput It against the back porch. Then, re-
membering all the peach trees and appletrees I had climbed In my youth I care-fully advanced up the ladder, opened thewindow and entered the back hall.
"Well, after getting Into dry clothes Ilighted the front porch light and sat downthere alone an hour or more, reflecting onthe disadvantages of apparent advantages.My hat and frock stayed in the woodshedall night; I was afraid to go out for them.Long after midnight my doorbell rang.When I asked from my window what waswanted a neighbor man's voice answered:
"My wife sent me over to see If you weresick; your porch light has burned all nightand we feared it was a signal that youwanted help.' ,
"Sure enough! In my agitated state ofmind on retiring I had forgotten to turnoff the porch light. Explanations weremade to the kind neighbor and I spent therest of the night trying to add up the costof the extra gas and my ruined hat andfrock."
"Was that all?" asked everybody, laugh-ing.
"Oh, no." the bachelor girl said. "Thenext day my tenants came home from theirlong summer outing so Impoverished thatthey borrowed a dollar of me at once andthe man said he would kill me if I evermade any remarks to him about payinghis rent."

A Pretty Black Go vn.New York Times.
Mrs. Henning, of Tuxedo, often dines atone of the modish restaurants, and the other night her dinner gown was a good ex-
ample of chic simplicity. It was made ofblack silk net thickly sprinkled with three-quart- er
inch dots of black silk. The bodicewas cut out at the neck In a long, narrowV, in both the back and the front, and theseV shaped openings were tilled with ecrulace. The sleeves, closely fitting to theelbows, nared above the wrists in frills.and on the upper sleeves large starlike flow-ers were outlined by narrow black velvetribbon applnjued on the net. The skirt.while very full at the bottom, was closeabout the hips and had the black velvetflowers scattered over its surface. At thebottom there were several overlappingflounces of the net. This costume wastopped by a small black hat, bent overthe low coiffure at the back and having anumber of black ostrich tips drooping overthe dark hair.
A Novel Scrap Book.Philadelphia Ledger.
If you want to do the very latest thing,you will keep a scrapbook. Not a scrap-boo- k
for poetry or cooking receipes, butfor pieces of goods like your gowns. Itreally is a bright idea, and you will valueyour scrapbook so much by and by thatyou will be more than repaid for the trou-ble it costs you to make it.
Paste in the scraps by attaching gum ormucilage to the corners, adding pieces ofsilk. l ue. braid or other trimmings; aranbuttons may be secured to the page. Be-neath the pieces write the date when youfirst wore the gown and any interestingdata concerning it. Some ladiee add apicture of the costume cut from a fashionsheet or book, or write out a descriptionof the gown as an aid to the memory.
By and by when your grandchildren askyou about "the good old times," and whatkind of clothes people wore then, youeaa get oat your scrapbook. The grand-daughters will, no doubt, find much causefor merriment In the outlandish faehious.
but you will be quite indignant, as youinsist that they are pretty and artistic.You live over your youth as you turn thepages. "This white organdie." you say,"was my graduating gown; this pink chiffonmy first ball gown. This blue scrap." andyou pat it tenderly, "is a piece of the govwiI wore when your grandfather proposed tome. The rough brown stuff Is like a golfsuit." and your pert granddaughter laughsat the Idea of your ever playing golf. Thereis a black scrap, with a piece of crepe, wornupon a sad occasion. You turn the leafquickly: you do not wish to sadden theyoung people. There are dozens of gownsrepresented, and you remember them aswell as If you had worn them yesterday.Somehow the fabrics seem finer and thetints more tasteful than those which yourgranddaughters wear. At any rate, youar glad that you made that scrapbook solong ago.
evreat Kink In Shirtwaists.New York Tribune.
The use of these heavy materials hasdone away with the fine tucks and cordsthat were for so many seasons a COQSBSC'
uous part of shirtwaist construction. Manyof the new models are made on lines sug-
gestive of tailored severity, while others in-
troduce flat pleats. But the really new-thin-g
about the fall modes lies in the backand that portion of the back just above thewaist line, where heretofore the nee ss:iryfullness was allowed to adjust itself to thefigure in a more or less happy-go-luck- y
fashion. Though this was. and is, all rightfor fine, crusnable materials, it is a dis-advantage when heavier stuffs are em-ployed in shirtwaist make up. and, there-fore, the new back has come in.
This new French back takes the waistfullness and stitches it into fine dart-lik- e
tucks, three on eith r side and graduatedin length, the ensemble being altogetherseemly, and likely to lie flat and trimacross the waist and back. It takes a littlemore trouble and care in the cutting andmaking of the shirtwaist where this sortof back Is used, but the end justifies themeans.
President Arthur's Daughter.Washington Post.
An announcement of much interest to so-
ciety here is that Miss Nellie Arthur,daughter of the late President Arthur, Isto be married to Charles Pinkerton, of NewYork. Miss Arthur is most delightfully re-
membered here. She was a mere slip of agirl then, but so sweet and winning as tomake friends of every one. She has beenliving recently In Albany with her aunt,Mrs. John McElroy. Miss Arthur hasgrown into a very good-lookin- g woman, re-served, almost shy, in fact. For a whileafter her father's death she lived in Pariswith her brother Chester, who married theresome three yenrs ago. Charles Pinkertonis about thirty years of age, a broker, amember of the University Club, and agraduate of Williams College. He is theFon of John S. Pinkerton, of West Chester.He is In business in New York, where thecouple will reside after the wedding, whichis to take place In November.
Partien in Japan.Florence Peltier, in Good Housekeeping.
In Japan to get up parties to behold thefreshly fallen snow, or the cherry blos-soms, or the maple trees In their autumnalglory, or to go to the flower shows, Is asde rlgeur as are our dinners, cotillions andtheater parties. Mushroom hunting is afashionable pastime; while in the househarp playing, verse writing, embroideringand tea drinking are the most absorbingoccupations. The most pretentious enter-tainment is the tea ceremony. It Is veryformal and there is much elaborate per-formance connected with It difficult for aforeigner to comprehend.

Military Opera at English's.When Stanislaus Stange, the librettist,
and Julian Edwards, the composer, puttheir heads together and invented the spec-
tacular military opera, "When JohnnyComes Marching Home," they hit upon agenuine novelty novelty that does not liein new ideas brought to the footlights, butin a new combination of elements that thestage has known for many years. Patri-otic melodrama and tuneful comic operahave never been harnessed together before.Strange as it may seem, the team pullsvery well together and this in spite of acommendable lack of horseplay. The newopera was presented at English's last nightfor the first time In Indianapolis, and wasgreeted by an audience which was not aslarge as It should have been, consideringthe sterling merit of the attraction, butone which was not slow to grasp the manygood things of the production and to ap-plaud them moat heartily.
Without the music. "When Johnny ComesMarching Home" would be nothing morethan a melodrama of the "Held by theEnemy" sort, for the story It tells is any-thing but the usual comic opera yarn. Butthe music Is there, and very bright musicit is, too, Julian Edwards having composedfor this piece the best score that he hasturned out since he wrote "Dolly Varden"for Lulu Glaser. He has taken the popu-lar old melodies of the sixties and Inter-woven into them themes of his own in amanner that is at once new, interestingand attractive. There is no plagiarismabout the work, however, as the composerhas frankly adapted the old melodies soas to make them blend artistically withthe airs of his own devising. The "bignumbers" of the score are examples of ex-tremely clever musical composition andboth vocal and instrumental arrangement,and the finale to the first act. wherein ahalf-doze- n of the old tunes of civil wardays are carried along on a theme that Isthe composer's own, Is one of the moststriking ensemble numbers heard in comicopera here for many a day.
xxxOne doesn't often run across a comic
opera with a real plot, but "When JohnnyComes Marching Home" Is the proud pos-
sessor of one. It is rather a hackneyedplot that Mr. Stange has dished up thatis, hacaneyed in a dramatic way, althoughbrand new In comic opera. But, after all,the plot is foundation enough to supportmany delightful features that go to forma splendid entertainment, and its lack oforiginality is not worth any serious atten-tion. The story of the piece can be toldin a few words. The "Johnny" mentionedin the title is the son of a Southern planter.Johnny runs away from home in his vouthand returns during the war as a Unioncolonel. Although betrothed while still aboy to the daughter of General Allen, hisfather's friend, he is In love with KatePemberton, a Southern girl. He becomesinvolved in the theft of important war dis-patches stolen by Kate's brother, a Con-federate spy, and is arrested, court-martial- ed
and sentenced to be shot, throughthe machinatioDS of a deserter from botharmies who passes himself off as the real"Johnny." In the end the hero is. of course,saved through the efforts of his sweet-heart Kate. Peace is declared, and theopera comes to a close with the conven-tional happy finale.
XXThe first act takes place in General Al
len's headquarters, where a birthday partyIs In progress, and everything starts off insuch a merry way that the audience is atonce in the best of humor. The Southernbelles come on the stage in the old-fashion- ed
gowns that were once considered sofetching. They wear the wide hoop-skirt- s,
the long lace-trimm- ed pantalettes and thecross-ban- d slippers, and they all have thecurious little corkscrew curls that used tobe just "the thing " This very first numbercaught the audience by storm last night,and received many encores. But to go intothe ptece In detail would be to take up morespace than is permissible. There are manydelightful songs and choruses, the mosttuneful being the partiotic gem. "My OweUnited States, ' sung by Johnny: "JustMarry the Man and Be Merry." "When OurTaps in Kisses fef -- t." "Who Knows?""While You're Thinking." "Love's Night.""Spring. Sweet Spring. "Kate. My South-ern Rose," and the admirable quinu t in thefirst act. with the old melody of "TheSuauee River" as the theme.
X V X
The company, on the whole, Is a verysatisfactory one. W. H. Thompson is excellent as the hero, Johnny. It Is a role forwhich he Is well suited, and he makes themost of his opportunities. He possesses agood clear baritone voice which he knows
how to use to the best advantage, and hissinging, particularly his rendition of "MyOwn United States." is one of the mostpraiseworthy features of the performance.The old-tim- e opera singer. W. T. Carlton,appears as the Union commanding officer.General Allen, and realizes the character,both dramatically and vocally. MauriceDarcy, as Major Geoffry Martin, aits hispart rather stiffly, but sings his share ofthe score in a sunny tenor and dances verygracefully. James Francis has the onlycomic part in the opera in the role of thecowardly deserts, and he handles it prettywell considering its limitations. The onepoor musical number of the score falls tohis lot a song that does not live up to itspurpose of causing laughter, and whichmight as well be cut out entirely. AlbertMcGuckin. as Felix Graham, and FrankColton, as Uncle Tom. portray their smallparts acceptably, while the latter's songand dance, with a chorus of negroes, isvery pleasing. xxx
Of the women of the cast the first honorsare won by Miss Lucille Saunders, as avery charming Southern widow. Miss Saun-ders has a handsome stage presence and acontralto voice of rare quality. Her soloIn the second act. "Years Touch Not theHeart," is beautifully rendered. Miss LouHarlow makes an attractive Cordelia, andsupplies much of the life of the piece. MissFlorence Hayward. whose voice is a sweetbut not very strong soprano, is a pr. ttyKate Pemberton, but her acting Is ama-teurish, and the same criticism holds goodiu the case of Miss Helen Ber sinrd, whoInterprets the small part of Kate's brother,Robert, the young spy who causes all of thetrouble. The chorus is good looking, vigor-ous and wholly acceptable, and the mount-ing of the opera, though not gorgeous, isin good taste and very attractive indeed.
'When Johnny Comes Marching Home"?vll be repeated at English's this evening,
afternoon and to-morr- ow night,and it should be seen and heard by alllovers of good, cleau amusements. It is iua class all by itself.
The Vaudeville at the Grand. -
It is a good thing for the vaudeville billat the Grand this week that it has the lit-
tle playlet, "A Soldier of Propville," andthe Impersonator, Julius Tanner, to give itsome dignity; otherwise the audienceswould be surfeited with songs, dances andnonsense before the conclusion of the per-formance. There is much that is enjoyablein Some, of the nonsensical contributions,but there is almost too much of the samesort of material to make up an evenly bal-
anced programme of varieties.The best attraction on the bill Is the lit-
tle stage story about Propville, writtenby Si U. Collins, a Detroit newspaper man.and acted in admirable style by Mr. andMrs. Edward Eemonde. This fragmentarydrama was given at the Grand last seasonby its present interpreters and was wel-
comed that time as one of the best vaude-ville sketches ever seen In Indianapolis.It is well worth witnessing a second time,for the little piece tells an Interesting storyand is full of both humor and pathos. Mr.Esmonde ag; in presents a finished char-acter study in the role of the old soldierwho has lost his memory and Mrs. Es-monde Is excellent in the part of a news-paper woman who is "working up a story"for her paper, only to find that the curiousold fellow whom she has come to Propvilleto "write up" is her own father. The play-let was warmly received at both performances yesterday, meeting with the appreciation mat it deserved.
A bright spot in the programme is thefirst professional appearance In his ownhome of Judus Tannen, an Indianapolisman, who bids fair to win unusual distinction as a character Illustrator and mimic.Young Mr. Tannen he is not more thantwenty-fiv- e has been on the stage only afew months, but his work has already attracted more than the usual amount of attention from vaudeville managers and itwill be but a question of a short time untilhe will be regarded as a first-cla- ss "headline!." His performance is of special valuebecause it gets away from the common-place. He is more of a drawing room entertainer than the conventional "single spe-cialty man" of vaudeville and his conscien-tious portrayals of celebrated actors, asthey appear when making "curtain speeches," are all the more acceptable on accountof the good taste shown by him In present-ing them. He is really a valuable additionto the vaudeville stage.
Duffy. Sawtelle and Duffy offer a ridiculous sketch called "Papa's Sweetheart," inwhich the smaller Duffy a boy of abouttwelve years Is the principal feature. Indeed, if it were not for the ability of thelittle chap as a comedian, singer anddancer the turn would fall pretty flat. Hecarries the specialty to a moderate degreeof success on his small shoulders, and theelder Duffy and Miss Sawtelle, a handsomewoman, share in the glory won by theirjuvenile associate. Lloyd and Lillian, lastseen la this city with the Reilly and Woodsshow at the Park, give a grotesque jugglingact that is very good in Its way, and themale participant in the sketch provokeslaughter with some comical costumes andstage "properties." Hines and Remingtonappear on the bill In their familiar specialty, "Miss Patter of Patterson a hodgepodge of Idiotic foolery that makes an audience laugh In spite of itself. Miss Remington is such a clever comedienne that onewonders why she wastes times with such apoorly prepared act.
Frank Fisher and Gladys Clark wereloudly applauded upon their first appearance at yesterday's matinee, for many ofthe auditors remembered the misfortuneswhich beset this team when they were lastin Indianapolis, and wanted to show thetwo performers that they were not forgotten. Mr. Fisher's former visit to thiscity was spent in a hospital, as he wastaken with a severe illness on the occasionof his initial performance. He is now giving his acrobatic act in his oid-tim- e form.and his wife or Miss Clarke, as she isbilled is the same bright little singer anddancer that she was on the occasion of herfirst engagement here. Kelly and Violetteare old-tim- e favorites at the Grand, andtheir singing will be popular throughoutthe week, as It was at yesterday's perform-ances. Mr. Kelly's powerful baritone voiceis heard In some new songs, and Miss Violette looks charming iu her handsomegowns. Fox and Foxie, down on the pro-gramme as "comedians and dancers," proveto be a heavy weight clown ami a thoughtful little dog. The clown juggles manythings, including the dog, and tne dog, inhis turn, performs a few clever feats ofhis own, thinking hard, apparently, as hegoes through his routine. If toxie couldvoice his sentiments the chances are ten toone that he would say he hated vaude-ville. The bioscope has a new series ofgood moving pictures.
Melodrama at the Park.There are plenty of thrills in the Park
Theater performances this week. "ARuined Life" is the title of the melodramathat began yesterday for a three days' run,and this is to be followed by "Her FirstFalse Step." A crowded house greeted thesensational, emotional and very entertain-ing drama, "A Ruined Life," last night.It Is one of the kind that has a villainwhich the audience hisses at every oppor-tunity. It Is the kind that brings tears tothe eyes of the women and arouses thefighting spirit of the men. There was hard-ly a man in the house last night thatwouldn't have been willing to "take a fall"out of Barton Williams had the opportuni-ty presented. Williams is a villain on thestage and an oppressor of women. Hecaught Jess Darnleigh, his mistress by thethroat and said: "Curse you, I'll kill you."A maniy young man ran out and thrust himaside and helped the woman to her feet.He had his reward then, for the audiencecheered and even hurrahed. Another timethis same villain put out his hand to aman who was about to help him out in afraud and remarked: "You are an honestman." "With the devil always," repliedthe other, "but I never shake hands." Noaudience ever more thoroughly enjoyed thediscomfiture of a villain than this one didin this particular instance. There are twothings the Park Theater audiences will notstand. They will not allow tht- - Am. ri .1:1flag to be fired on with impunity and theywill not allow a woman abused. The menat the Park are always defenders of wom-en. "A Ruined Life" opens in a gypsycamp in England, one act is played in aNew York Fifth-avenu- e apartrn. nt and thedrama shifts back to Knglan.l. The gypsyqueen is the daughter of a wealthy Phila-delphia- n,
stolen when a child, at the in-stance of the villain. An airship figuresin the play, and it is a eh-w- r mechanicalcontrivance. The gypsy queen escapes inthe ship at a time wlicn her life is ire perilfrom those who fear she will return toAmerica and claim her father's fortune.The play is well staged and there is somestrong, lively work. Clara Thropp doesthe role of the gypsy queen and AdelaideMarshall, a very pretty girl, and HarrietDavis play the other important ft nuidneroles. There are some musical specialties
by Fielding Thacher and Harry K. Nob-bett- e.
One of the features of the drama Isa hypnotic scene in which a spell is ex-
erted over the villain of the play until heconfesses a crime, all of which had the dis-tinct approval of the audience.
Burlesque nt the Empire.The Kentucky Belles Burlesque Company.
which opened at the Empire yesterdayafternoon, suffers severely by comparisonwith the really excellent company whichheld forth at that theater last week. Intruth, the less said about this week's billthe better. The burlesques are hopelesslyinane, and about the only redeeming feature in the whole performance is the. triplehorizontal bar specialty of Dumitrescu. Van
uken and Vannersou. The work of thisgymnastic trio is very clever, and it waswdl received. Sunshine, a little coloredgirl billed as "the only" Cuban pickaninny.was the bright spot in the musical sketchof Gardner and West.

An opening display of beautiful autumngowns and hats took place yesterday atthe store of II. P. Wasson A Co. and therooms were filled during the day wltnwomen eager to see and admire the modeput forth for their delectation. Some ex-ceedingly handsome gowns for afternoonand reception wear were shown, among:them a dainty thing of Arabian lace, pan-eled with shirred chiffon of pale blue. Thalace was run with velvet ribbon of warmgolden brown caught into knots here andthere on bodice and skirt, and the color:combination was a happy one. A three-pie- ce
costume was of the popular voile incream color. The skirt had a deep flounceset on with a band of tucked blue chif-fon overlaid with lace and bordered withstitched pink taffeta. The Frenchy color,combination was repeated on the bodice,which had a vest and sleeves of creamchiffon. Accompanying the gown was astunning evening coat of cream cloth withthe same decoration of pink and blue.
A smart little suit of white broadclothhad a s! nple skirt laid ln tiny plaits and ajaunty short jacket with brass buttons anda touch of the newly popular lavender vel-vet at throat and cuffs. The jacket openedover a pretty bodice of cream silk with adeep girdle of the cloth. A pretty gown ofred crepe had both bodice and skirt sun-plait- ed
with charming effect.Of the evening wraps one of the hand-
somest was an Imported affair of doeskinIn the delicate cream tone that that mater-ial possesses. The wrap was elaboratedwith much handsome hand embroidery be-neath which the delicate silk lining showedwith pretty effect. Heavy fringe borderedthe hem, the sleeves and the pointed cape.Polar cloth, almost as handsome and richas white fur, formed the material for athree-quart- er length wrap lined with richbrocade. The full sleeves drooped oveg)narrow cuffs of crushed velvet of richgreen and tassels, gold braid and white but-tons added touch of extra smartness.
A lovely long wrap was of champagne-colore- dbroadcloth with the least touch of
black velvet at the wrists and throat. Thesleeves were exceedingly flowing and ofunique pattern.
The hats were perhaps the most interest-ing part of the exhibit. One of the much-herald- ed
purple hats was shown In a bisflat model of velvet with a plaited borderof satin, all of a lovely violet shade. Awreath of purple popples and a clusteror two of the same flowers beneath thabrim completed a very artistic chape u.One of the most stunning hats of the dis-play was of white silk Torchon lace, thscrown and upper brim of the lace plain, ex-
cept for a twist and bow of pale blue velvet.The underbrim was of rich black velvet,and that, too, was perfectly plain, exceptfor a cluster of pale blue flowers set eitherside of the fa . and the effect of the wholawas most stunning. Brown hats were thersin force, and one of the particularly goodmodels had mink for the underbrim and aTam crown of brown velvet shirred insunburst ff.'ct. A cluster of shaded browntips mingled prettily with the mink tallaat the side of the hat. and a cut-ste- el
buckle added the finishing touch. Anotherbrown velvet hat was a big cart wheel withheavy wool lace forming an open-wor- k ef-
fect in the center. The crown had. a simpletwist of shirred chiffou of whit.-- , ending;at the side in a big chou, and underneaththe brim, against the hair, was laid afluffy white plume. A plnk-and-bro- hatshowed a plain (town of pink velvet witha broad band of mink for thr trim. andunderneath a full shirring of pink chiffon.A border of pink tips finished off the hat.A very striking black-and-whi- te hat waaof black Valenciennes lace with arabesqueson the lower brim of black ribbons,shirred. An immense whlt plume cir-cled the crown, and the hat was builthigh at the left by a Paradise aigrette.On of the prettiest of the street hats waBa round, drooping scratch felt of whitswith a bird, the plumage shading to yel-low, for trimming, and a rosette of whitsand castor velvet caught by a steel caba-ch- on
to the lower brim.A number of handsome furs were shown
