Mary Tudor Dresses. After all. we'seem to have lost a great .amount, of : pictui-esqueness in dress, compared to that "worn, in other periods. At least:one' could not help thinking so when seeing Nellio Stewart as Mary, Tudor, weanug the most beautiful .dresses. The first one, she wears is a bright pink silk dress quaintly mado and with-o.- great deal of gold about it, and a charming little-Mary Tudor cap-that seemed to bo made of pearls. Then in the next act,she appears-in a' inost■';gorgeous dress of white satin,, the-'skirt-'glittering with a heavy gold design,'- and having-a somewhat.wide hem of, yellow. The beautiful white : 'satin cloak she wears with it is embroidered in gold, and.lined with yel-low-satin also. Bound her, waist she -wears a oirclet that/looks like turquoises, and'the little.cap she wears is edged with these? blue stones: again. One .hardly knew whether', she did, not almost look, more charming .'when she appeared in her runaway.man's attiro. -As the Queen of France,, in:.the palace,, she is very, magnificent, in a ■ dress of ■ white satin glittering with brilliants '.'opening over the palest pink,satin petticoat, and with a' ! court - train that, shimmered most gorgeously.: .In "the. last scene of all, where she roturnsrfrom.France.she wears a','6reani| ; iCloak -edged :with; brow.n. ! fur opening : 6ver a brown velvet petticoat and a bewitching cream, hat with a pink, and a' cream(feather.: ; :'/- . ' .Among those'present at. the performance of "When Knighthood Was in' Flower" were Mr. and/Mrs. Riddiford (Hutt),'Mrs. and. Miss -Elgar, .Mr. and Mrs. Peacock, Mr. i Joh"n;Peacock,.Mr.ahd Miss .Didsbury,-Miss Booth,-Miss Goring, Miss Brandon, Mrs Pearoe, -Mrs. Joseph; Mrs: Fred Nathan, Miss Joseph, and Miss 'Wilson; 1 :,/;/:':;■:■ - : :'-,,^ ; -. v -' :--■■:
