OUR FASHION LETTER.

The management of the local
theatre offers Feb: 19th what
promises to bo the dramatic treat
of the season. Wo refer to the
coming of the eminent actor Mr.
Edwin Rostell and his excellent
company in a grand revival of

Shakespeare's immortal tragedy
Hamlet. It has been a long time
since McKinney theatre goers
have been permitted to witness a
special production of the classics,
and those who appreciate this
Order of plays will no doubt fill
the house. Mr. Rostell, who was
associated with the late Edwin
Booth and who the critics have
unanimously chosen as the legiti-
mate successor of that great ex-
ponent of the drama. Rostell
playeu the larger cities of Texas
two years ago and created most
favorable comment on his won-
derful work in the part he pre-
sents here.
Miss lone Cameron, daughter
of Mr.and Mrs.Beecher Cameron,
who reside two miles northwest
of town has a case of varioloid.
A yellow flag was put up and
quarantine established. The sit
juvtion here is unchanged.
New York, Feb. 16. -There is
very little at this season in fash-
ions in dress that is distinctly new
or interesting.
Sutniner fashions have not de-
veloped sufficiently to indicate
what will be worn later. Tho pre-
vailing fashions of the present
season have become very definite
in generally accepted forms to
which the public has beccme
accustomed.
The matter of wash shirt waists
is bciug considered, and also the
spring and summer costumes, but
there is no indication of any radi-
cal departure1 from the rogue of
1900.
'I he shirt waist for strictly
tailor made wear will consist this
season of white duek or butcher's
linen of the very finest quality
and as flexible as those materials
can be made. It will have neither
yoke nor plaits nor tucks, either
in front or back, and it will fit
the figuro almost as snugly as the
"round waist."
Miss WliurIsr Recovering.
Miss Annie Wheeler, daughter of
iJencral Joe Wheeler, who recently
mm del' went Mil operation for appen*
lieitis at a private .sanitarium, in
Yew York, is rapidly revovering.
