TWO BARRIE PLAYS.

SOME QUAINT COSTUMES. Wth only six female parts in the two 1 Jurrio plays, '' The Old Lady Shows Iler Medals " and " A Well-Remembered Voice," which were presented by tho St. Andrew's Society of Auckland ill tlio Town Hall concert chamber last evening, opportunities for very attractive frocking are few. In tho former play, in which four charwomen are "the central figures, picturesque frocking is necessarily absent, but their quaint old-fashioned, not too clean costumes, with loudly-checked aprons, trailing skirts and mis-shapen hats surmounted with bedraggled-looking feathers, were both humorous and realistic and most certainly have fulfilled tho author's idea of his four characters. [m " A Well-Remembered Voice " tho frocking strikes a brighter note, and a very dainty evening frock of sunset floral taffeta, made with a tight-lilting bodice surmounted with a georgette yoke, and a full uneven-length skirt finished at the waist, with a large butterfly bow, in worn by Miss Lilian Lugton, Mrs._ Budge, who takes the only other feminine role, wears a graceful frock of black satin beaute with a deep hem of black Gl.mutilly laco and a black laco coatco.
