card-board, and covered with white marble
paper. The platform is to be covered with black marble paper.

By the side of the pedestal stands the statue. The lady who personates
this figure should be rather slim, of medium height, good features,
and dark hair. Costume consists of a loose, white robe, worn with but
few skirts, the sleeves very short, the waist cut low at the neck, the
skirt long enough to trail on the platform; the whole covered with
white tarleton muslin. Across the shoulders, and tied at the right
side, is worn a heavy muslin mantle, trimmed on each edge with white
satin ribbon. The hair is arranged in a neat coil, and a small wreath
of white leaves encircles the head. These are made of white paper, and
fastened to a wire frame. The statue stands perfectly straight at the
side of the pedestal, one arm resting on the top, the hand hanging
down over the front, while the left arm hangs gracefully at the side.
The eyes are directed to the figure of Leontes in the foreground.
Pauline, who draws the curtain aside, is costumed in a black silk
dress, with a velvet waist, trimmed with bugles, and interspersed with
silver spangles. The hair, arranged in a single coil, is decorated
with a velvet band, with white paste pin in the centre, from the back
of which is fastened a long black lace veil, falling gracefully over
the shoulders, and reaching nearly to the floor. She is standing at
the right of the curtain, one hand grasping its folds, while the other
is extended, and points to the statue. A profile view is had of the
figure: the head is slightly turned, the eyes directed to Leontes in
the foreground. Leontes' costume consists of a black coat, belted
around the waist, black knee breeches and hose, confined with a gold
band and showy paste pin. The collar and cuffs of the coat are
decorated with deep white lace. A short sword is suspended from the
belt; the feet are covered with low shoes, with showy buckles; the
head is encircled with a silver band, one inch wide, with a brilliant
pin in the centre. Fastened around the neck, and hanging over the
shoulders, is a black velvet cape--a small, lady's cape will answer.
Position is standing on the extreme front of the stage, with both
hands extended above the head, the body thrown back, the feet extended
from each other, the back turned to the audience, the head inclined to
one side, so that a side view is had of the face, while the eyes are
directed to the statue. Beh
