, r THE SOCIAL SWIM. Bishop F. D. Huntington, in the October Torum, describes fashionable society "as a something too formal lor an institution, too irregular for an organization, too vital for a machine, too heartless for a fraternity, too lawless for a school, too decent for a mas querade, with too much lying lor a bureau, and too many passions for a pageant. There are the competitions, matches, risks, calcu lations of a perilons game, the interchanges of an imponderable, immaterial commerce, musical voices lrom inharmonious breasts, spiteful courtesies, magnificent meannesses. There are songs of peace, flying arrows ot malice and revenge, bonds and fragments ol friendships, charming veils over hidden horrors, laughter rippling over dark depth's of silent agony. One has only to reflect a moment how con siderable a section of the lives of many men and more women these activities occupy, what capacities they include, what forces they engage, the interplay between life and life, the issues and destiny of character, the angnst responsibilitv. to comprehend that 'society, even in this limited sense, is a stndy for the wisest minds."

Curiosities, etc. The above are the theatrical attractions for this week, It is not at all likely that we shall see again this season so perfect a performance In every way as "Twelfth Night" in the hands or Mhs Marie Wainurlght and ber company. In t'ie first place there is a personal charm about Miss Wainwright'a Viola and an artistic finish about all she does in tbat rarely romantic character that is not often found nowadas. We can hardly measure the merit of this Fi'olo' now. Suffice it to say that Miss Wainwnght will be most welcome in tbat sweet guise whenever sbe comes this way. Unlike so many of our lead ing actors. Miss Wainwright has had the wisdom to gather about her none but artists. So we have an even performance, and but little injustice to tbe great master's work. Nobody can ask for a better Sir Toby than Mr. Owen bas giveu us; lew will desire a richer rendering or Malvolio than Mr. Barton Hills.

In the performance of Shakespeare's plays, I bold that the grandeur of the story and the immortal lines do not benefit by scrubby scenery, fuU of anachronisms and glaring In congruities, for a background. Nur is it an excuse for costumes mean, tawdry and untrue to the time and locality of the play to say that tbe almost divine poetry of Shakespeare needs o assistance from milliner and tailor. In spite of Shakespeare's own assertion that 'good wine needs no bush," I think it looks better and tastes bettpr if the circumstances are appropriate; a thin glass suits our modern lips better than a thick one, and a little ice in tbe pail is not tu be laughed at. Hence "1 well tb Night" approaches an ideal deliverance in this case, because the costumes are rich and true to the era of the play and as true in local color as Sbakerpiare intended and because the scenery is a delight to the ejes and an aid to the understanding of the story. What the fate of "The United States Mail" will be depends upon sevc events. As it is it is a farce comedy tbat has achieved success and one thst might be made a still greater suc cess with little trouble to the author and little expense. At this writing nothing is really set tled about the future of tbe play, further than that It goes to Wheeling next w eek and prob ably to other towns near Pittsburg. If Mr. Jeuks were in a position to command the order ing ot the play from top to bottom with $1,000 or (2,000 to spend; If a manager of experience bad Lharge of the advance work, and a firm di-clpllnarian took hold or the company, manv are or the opinion that "The U. S. Mail would be a great money maker. Tbe company needs a new sonbrette. Miss Kate Davis needs more opportunities to reveal her abilities, and another comedian would in crease tbe strength of tbe jU amazingly.

Thtt say that "My Aunt Bridget," which will be seen at the Bijou Tbeater this week bas been greatly strengthened since it was last seen In this city. The cast gives evidence of tbe truth of this assertion. It Ig unusually strong and contains such musical comedy favorites as George W. Monroe, Jobn C Rice. Bernard Dyllyn. Jobn J. Raffeal. of Mi Canll Opera Company; W. A. Mack, James Caran augb, Victor Good. Gus Williams, the West minster Madngal Bojs, Catherine Lingard, of the "Little Tycoon" Opera Compam; Mrs. E. M. Post. Catherine Gerald, Lena Saffi, Nellie Rosebud ("Little Rosebud"), CarP.ua Baffl. tbe Neapolitan Trio, and Miss Lena Mer vtlle. The play is the work of Mr. Scotc Marble, and is doubtless tbe best tlilntr be has written. Tbe main chai aiter of Aunt Bridget, which is taken by Georea W. Monroe, repre sents a somewhat exaggerated tjpe or an isr norantlnsu woman. The next character ot importance Is that of -P. Alton McVeigh, who came over to this country with a fortune, which he rapidly squai drred, but in the meantime bad been surrounded with rather aristocratic acquaintances, from whom be tries to conceal the fact tbat be is poor and tbat he has to teach a dancing school. He bas a maiden aunt in Ireland who be understands is rich, anu be Induces ber to come to this country, that he might benefit by some of her wealth. She, ar rive at a rather unexpected moment and shocks her nephew's fnuids by ber lack of re finement, Mr. Monroe bas always been able to make bis audiences la agb till tbey are tired. Mr. Rice is equally good as tbe nephew. Lena Merrille brings tbe brightness tbat was last shown In "The "Oolah"tothepaftot Polly Wider, and one of tbe hits of tbe pieces U ad to be her sink ing of the new ong "iou Should Hear Her Whistling," a take-off on Mrs. Shaw. Mist Catherine Lingard comes from comic opera to comedy with great success it is Said, and sbe bas won gulden opinions for her voice. Tbe rest of the compaii) should be iu keeping with the stars, and the Westminster Madrigal Buvj and tbe Neapolitan two are higbl) spoken of. Tbe costumes are said to be gorgeous and con stantly cuanginj. Of mnsic there Is plenty and all of it is declared to be new. There will be a matinee on Tuesday, G. A. R. Day. It Is hardly necessary in referring to the Grand Opera House's programme for this week to say more than that Mr. Edwin Booth and Madame Modjeska mate their first ap pearance there on Monday evening in "Tbe Mer chant of Venice." The greatest actor America bas produced is consotted worthily with the great actress who bas made this country her borne. It is a dramatic event of great magni tude and unique. Tbe company supporting tbe stars is declared to be excellent, and the setting of the plajs it is hoped will be worthy. Tbe repertoire is arranged as follows: Monday.

"On Probation,' the adaptation from the French called "Papa Perrichon." and the latest London success, "The Balloon," have all made hits. Mr. Crane's bold on the puMic seems assured. He will present all tbe plajs named above in this city during tbe engage ment be will play here this winter. IN tbe play of "Eflle Deans" the act con cludes by tbe judge giving a verdict oT "not guilty" in lavor of tbe persecuted heroine.-) According to tbe San Francisco Argonaut, a novice, who undertook the part at short notice, got a little mixed, and pronounced the girl guilty, to the astonishment of tbe audience. Kteryone on the stage whispered "not guilty," and the novice proved equal to tbe occasion. He rose again, in all the majesty or wig and ermine, and said: 'Ladiis and gentlemen, when 1 said just now tbat the younglady was guilty, the remark was ironical. 1 beg now lo say the young lady is not guilty, and leaves this theater without a stain npon ber character." "I fancy it is rather Interesting to know that Charles Wyndbam and Mary Moore, who are noiv at the Gilsey House here," says Mr. C M. S. McClellan, "are talented far beyond the usual run of people in the world, and just bow peculiarly talented they are will be understood m ben it is said that two seasons ago they played 'David Gurrick' in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, fee Petersburg and Mo-cow, with a different com pany in each place, speaking German in ihe two brat named cities and French in the other three. I doubt ff we have any girl so absolutely clever as saeet Mary Moore in this direction, and du actor that we have could act in any thing but Knulish, unless it be Richard Mans field, who speaks German and French with complete fluency."
