Evening-gowned

The improved theater and the evening-gowned women in the audience with the drawing-room effect of toilets, adds a luster to the social season of plays and operas.

The splendid architecture of our historic building, its galleries receding and allowing full view of open boxes where rows of evening-gowned women, their arms and shoulders bare, are seen resplendent in the narrow framing of crimson velvet that partitions off the seats, offers a sight not equaled by the Metropolitan Opera of New York City, where the many tiers rise in a straight line, overtopping each other and hence obstructing the view beneath.

I followed the theologian, and while waiting to be introduced, I looked over the fashionable assemblage of fine-look ing men, who knew how to wear a dress suit without embarrassment, and the beautiful, evening-gowned ladies, and I felt honored in being among those present.
