aised front of the breast, head slightly inclined back,
eyes raised upward, the countenance in repose. Her costume consists of
a black silk dress, low neck, and trimmed with wide black lace and
bugles; a scarf of black crape, sprinkled with small silver stars, is
draped across the breast, a black cross suspended from the neck by a
velvet ribbon; black bracelets ornament the arms; and a wreath of
black bugles and beads encircles the head, on the front of which is
placed a small silver moon. The hair is arranged in wide, heavy bands,
at the side and back of the head. The lady who personates Day should
be of good figure and features, clear light complexion, and light
hair. Her position is, kneeling under the white arch, hands crossed on
her breast, eyes slightly cast upward, and a smile on the countenance.
Costume consists of a pure white dress, cut low at the neck, short
sleeves; waist and bottom of sleeves trimmed with wide lace and silver
spangles; a scarf of white tarleton muslin draped across the breast;
the waist encircled with a satin sash, and the head crowned with a
wreath of pearls, in the front of which place a small gold sun. The
hair can be arranged in ringlets, or brushed back from the forehead,
and confined in a silk net. The light for this piece must come from
the front of the stage, and should be of medium brilliancy. Music soft
and plaintive.

Ten Male Figures.

The walls are hung with engravings in rich frames, most of them

gilt letters, is placed at the end of the stage. Settees are arranged
around the sides; a mahogany table is in the centre, on which is
placed a large solar lamp. Seated at the table are half a dozen

engaged in conversation and smoking. The light for the piece should be
of medium brightness, and come from either side of the stage. Music of
