Magnificent Display of Gems
and Gowns Out to Meet
Mary Garden.
ERMINE WRAPS APPEAR
Boxes Are Resplendent In Jewela and
Exquisite Brocades, While From
Lower Floor to Gallery Bril
liance I mdlmned.
The brilliance and (octal grandeur
of th opening night of grand opera
wa. .baoiately eclipsed by the magnl
ficence of the audience that greeted
Marr Garden and her fellow artists
last night.
From the rery front row to the last
seat In the gallery were to bo seen the
smart set, all arrayed In their Tory
best and newest and presenting an
appearance of splendor beyond de
scription.
Of course the boxes attracted at
tention, aa they were occupied by
many of the social leaders who were
entertaining groups of friends, out
throughout the entire audience were
to be seen the loTellest of gowns and
the most costly of Jewels.
Mary Gardrm Style Lfliree.
White charmeuse with oyer drap-
Ings of costly lace seemed to be a
faTorlte with the younger maids snd
matrons and there were many of the
deep tones of rose and American
Beauty. Soft Telvets and exquisite
brocades with much ermine and other
effective fur trimmings were noticed on
the wraps. However, after the ap
pearance of Mary Garden the gowns
were forgotten and society devoted it
self entirely to the marvelous music
and the charm of the actress woman.
Only when the curtain fell again and
the lights were on was the social
significance of the evening remembered
and even then the talk was all of the
opera and duTlng the tete-a-ieies u
was whispered that many of the local
beauties of smart society would soon
adopt the Mary Garden style of wearing
the gown of graceful llnea
The actress has captured the hearts
of society, she became the stamiara 01
lemlnlnlty.
Grills Well Filled.
The speil of the opera and the en
thusiasm the good music Inspires was
noticed in the grills later in me even
ing when the smart folk gathered tor
supper parties. Mary of tne hostesses
who had entertained theater parties
presided at elaborately appointed sup
per parties entertaining congenial
groups of friends, and the tables pre
sented a brilliant appearance.
Kor the next few weeks the topic of
conversation at the teas and Informal
afternoons and at the various lunch
eons at which society vrlll gather will
be "the opera."
The treat In store for the music
lovers tonight will no doubt be as fully
appreciated by smart folk as have been
the wonderful productions of the past
two evenings. The boxes this evening
will contain many of the socially elect,
who are, by the way. well versed in
the best In munte.
Many of the Portland women of so
cieiy are musically pitted and have
made a thorouKh study of the operas
and are capable of appreciating and
understanding the present productions.
At their clubs and afternoon affairs
ihey have frequently enjoyed Interpre
tations and lectures on the opera music
and their criticisms are really worth
while.
Matlaee Ifaaa Laid.
Society everywhere loves Tetraxxlnl
and she Is entertained by the exclusive
sets of the larger cities and will be
an attraction for Portland's musical
and social circles.
For this afternoon It Is safe to predict
that there will be ever so many of the
sub-debutantes present, as many of the
college girls and students from the
local preparatory schools are to at
tend, and beside the box and matinee
parties there will be a bevy of the most
sttracttve and lovely of the younger

mother, before leaving the home for
the day, tells the children to keep busy
with housework, but the children play.
The mother reproves them and sends
them into the woods to gather berries,
as there is not any food in the house.
The children go Into the woods, fall
asleep and dream that the old witch
has them in her clutches.
In this dreamland they have many
wonderful adventures and eat ginger
bread houses. Humperdinck has set
