Mrs. I3rwin Connelly, Con-nelly, who plays tbo part of a belle of forty years ago in "Swcetlicarts," at the Orphcum, dresses correctly for the role.

They are so far forgotten tbat they aro not in existence exist-ence any longer- She searched through old clothes shops. In attics .and In ancient an-cient chests, but all to no avail. She had to resort lo an expedient. She wears a hoop skirt without the Genuine hoops, She has a voluminous skirt, with a copper cop-per wire run through a hem In the edge, and tills gives the wide spread, without thc unmanagcablcnesH of the genuine.
