THE MAREORAMA

... This picture represents a wonderful new invention, that of the Mareorama, which is to be one of the chief amusements of the Paris Exhibition. The Mareorama is an exact imitation of the deck of an ocean-going steamer, and is placed between two panoramas painted on immense rolls of canvas, which move in the opposite direction from that in which the ship is supposed to be going, thus creating ...

OUR LADIES' PAGES: FROCKS AND FURBELOWS

... OUR LADIES' PAGES. FROCKS AND FURBELOWS. Slaughterers of the little brown bird came off better in several senses on the First than did the first guns of the season further north last month. For heavy walking after heavenly watering-pots may be a trifle tiring, but what can compare with the abnormal distress of careering after coy grouse on a sun-baked moor in a temperature that seems borrowed ...

OUR LADIES' PAGES: FROCKS AND FURBELOWS

... OUR LADIES' PAGES. FROCKS AND FURBELOWS. If there is one thing more disillusioning than another, it is to suddenly awake one morning and find that the reflection given back by one's looking- glass is entirely at variance with the preconceived ideas one has long cherished as attaching to oneself and one's appearance.

CITY NOTES

... . The Next Settlement begins on Sept. 27 War. Not until the end of the week did the Stock Exchange come face to face with the grim reality of the war prospects. The feeling all along has been that Kruger would give way at the eleventh hour, and prices were consequently maintained at what seemed surprising elevations to those whose ears were strained to catch the report of the first shot fired. ...

FORMER KING JOHNS

... . Present-day playgoers have waited long for a stage representation of King John. They have more than once pricked their ears, so to speak, at a rumour of a Lyceum production that unfortunately never came, and to find records of memorable perform ances of this play we must turn back a good many pages in the history of the English stage.
