The Women's Gray Salons Wlicn the chief of this section was asked what the Gray Salons did for customers, the answer came: "There is no possible service that anv woman wants that we hesitate to give." This section is here to help women find the clothes they want at the moment they want them. We are glad to send people to her home with a choice of clothes for her selection. If a customer conies into New York at twelve o'clock and has an important engagement that night and desires a gown for the occasion, we are glad to send dresses to her hotel, and if the gown she likes does not exactly fit her we see that it is altered in time for her engagement.

If a woman is sailing for Europeperhaps unexpectedly and needs all sorts of clothes we not only help her get proper costumes from our own section, but we gather for her selection the millinery, blouses, lingerie, corsets, that she will need from other parts of this store of more than a hundred specialty shops. This year the Gray Salons have almost half again as much space as they had last autumn. This gives us space for many special rooms and shops for various kinds of clothes. These salons give a woman the privacy which makes shopping enjoyable. They prevent delay in finding what she wishes.

The aim of our salespeople is to find the gown which suits the customer trie one which is most becoming to her. Spring Fashions Hundreds of spring gowns, spring wraps, spring suits.

The Peer and the Peri," the fairy extravaganza which deals so lightly and so daintily with the political folblea of Great Britain thirty years or more ago, and which Is even at this day timely and pertinent in the questions of the privileges of the Hous-of Lords and the matter of woman suf frage. The wall-mounted, well-acted presentation at the Majestic Theater last night only accentuated the excellent lm pre rreated by the presentation of "Ti -ido" on Monday. A Ho Wolf Hopper occupied the center nf the stage and his portrayal of the Lord Chancellor was Inimitable In Its artistic versatility. No point in the delicate satire was missed, and that the points were watched for and appreciated was shown by the Instantaneous and spontaneous laughter and applause with whloh every salty was greeted.

Between the acts Mr. Hopper again made one of his characteristic speeches, as on Monday, comparing the warmth of bis theatrical reception with the bitter cold of the physical world outside. Alice Brady, as Phyllis, found a con genial part, and sang and danced her way Into the affections of the audience. Her duets with Strephon (well sung by Johu C. Thomas) were archly and daintily sung, and In tho quartet of the second act her voice rung true and sweet.

Ar thur Cunningham and Arthur Aldrldgu were Ideal peera, both dignified and tuneful, while as a typical Tommy At kins Herbert Waterous was effective, though evidently suffering from a severe cold. Miss Sara M.

SCOTTI'S WICKED SUAVITY. Martin's Virile Tone Heard as Caw radossi Polacco'i Fine Conducting Expectations were high when it was announced that Puccini's "La To'ca" was to be given In the Brooklyn Academy of Music, last evening, for the tenth night of the subscription, as an excellent cast had been provided by General Manager Gattl-Casazza of the Metropolitan Opera Company, but expectation was exceeded by realization. For evenness, the work baa never been more pronounced In any performance In Brooklyn. While all of the artists fairly celled themselves It should be premised that the opera Is splendidly calculated for an effective performance In the opera house of the Academy on account of Its fine acoustic qualities, but more perhaps on account of the nearness of tho hearers to the stage, which allowed tho watch. ng ot the minutest details and ths facial expressions of the sli.geis who tuok part.

Then, too, Mr. Polacco, with tho con ductor's baton, did wonders, not only In gracefully bringing out every beauty of the score, but also In Infusing the instrumentalists with his spirit. He has grown constantly In command as a conductor while he preserves suavity delightfully. Mine. Olive Fromstad sang In the title role and her artistic development of tho character of the Roman artist was tho combined creation of voice.

head and heart, as well as dramatic Instinct. It Is sold that Fremstad prefers tho great characters ot tho dcml-goddesses in Wng- iier a works to those in any other operas. From her performance of last night one would not even guess that to bo the case. If one wishes to analyze tile performance of Pre mat. ad and dig out the secret of her ability to Impress at every point of the opera It may be found in her abundant Imagination: she leads her hearers by her acting and facial expression to anticipate coming events and her voice nas that beautiful quiillty whlcti leads one to wish for more.

She was In very good voice, last night, though a llttlo uncertain In tho first act as to her highest notes. It soon cleared, how ever, and It was strongly sustained at the close In the beautiful duet w.th the tenor on the roof of tho prison. A word of comparison of Fremstad with Farrar, each of whom has been recently heard In the title role. The rule of each is strongly Individualized; each has a different conception of the character of the actress and each differs from the other singer In Binall details; both are supreme artists. But, as an Instance.

In point; Fremstad, in the noted aria, "VlHl d'Arte," while singing It beautifully, so beautifully that the audience cams out with spontaneous applause, acted out the reminiscent sentiment in tha libretto, while Farrar, who always sings It beautifully, attends mure strictly to the vocal side oft the aria. Mr. Martin gavo of his best to the role of Cavaradossl, tho unfortunate painter and victim ot the wiles of the wicked Baron Scarpla. He also was In good voice and his virility i tone made him quite effective: it is to be noted that ho Is Improving In his inozzo voice and In his warmth as a lover and hlB grace as an actor. Scottl.

In explaining the reason for adopting motion pictures to truln students in Journalism Dr. Talcntt Williams, director of the School of Journalism, said: "In adopting this new experiment In education Hie hool of Journalism hopes to overcome Its greatest obstacle, that of giving the students practice in reporting actual events, and at the inme time It possible for the Instructors to know how accurately and thoroughly the work has been done. "Formerly when a student was sent out tn get a story, no one knew whether he emitted Important facts or exaggerated what he did get, unless a story of the same event l.appened to appear In the dally newspapers.

Woodrow Wilson as pa tronees, and the Misses Eleanor and Margaret Wilson as participants, In the ballroom of the Hotel Astor lost evening. Mrs. Wilson, It was learned at a late tasy Itself. The presentation of "Sanctuary" followed two nature conferences held yesterday, Tho first, which took place ai 11 o'clock, was on "Conservation of Bird and Anlmu! Life," and the second, In th afternoon, was on "The Drama and Conservation." Mayor Mitchel was the guest of honor at the latter conference, and Percy MacKnye, author of the manque given yesterday evening, spoke on "The nf tho Art of the Theater to Wild Nature Conservation." I lie prim ntation of bird masque was preceded by the song of "The Hermit Thrush," given sweetly by Miss Margaret Wilson. Wandering in the quiet of the bird sanctuary, a little girl hears the voice of a hermit thrush and meditates the snug.

Arvla MacKaye, daughter of Steele and niece of the poet, wrote the words of the song and enacted the part of the little girl. She makes her first appearance. In the sylvan scene, as vultton sings, and the simple song strikes the keynote of the masque, although there was a special prologue written for last night's presentation, which was spoken effectively by Mrs. L. arn i ohiirn.

Passing on, deeper Into the wood, the llttlo girl thinks dreamily of all wild birds and the wrongs done to them by their human brothers and sisters. Out of her reverie grows the masque which follows. Inlo Iho sanctuary leaps Qiiercus, the faun, played by Joseph Llndon Smith, and there meet Alwyn, a poet, whose lines are spoken by Percy MacKaye, and Shy, a naturalist (Earnest Harold Baynes). Juliet Barrett Rublee, as Ta-clta, a dryad, next appears, and performs a beautiful and artistic dance. A shot rings out, and Ornls, the bird spirit, played by Eleanor Wilson, flutters In and falls to tho ground.

Then follows Stark, the plume hunter, whoso lines were admirably spoken by Charles Douvllle Co-burn. Stark Is accosted by the poet, and la won over by Ortls and Tuclta, and Tenants his cruelty. In the finale, birds of various species dance and perform a pantomime. There are thrushes, snowbirds, robins, orioles Bnd bluejays and at the end, a number or little birds, represented By several tiny tots are brought from the bushes by Uuercus. and ti ke their plarrse on th rocks and hedges In the sanctuary to form the final picture.

The dances wore all of a high order and the Individual dancing of Miss Rublee, was especially enloved. The auditorium was not espe dally suitable for the performance and ihnae in the rear seats had difficulty In hearing the spoken lines, but plctorially the mns'iue was beautiful, and the rianc In was thoroughly enjoyable. Miss Kl.anor Wilson has a pleasant, speak Ing voire but It was too low to be heard at all times, which was a disappointment Following the masque there was a fes tival and native dances, and after that tinner whs served. One featuro which added to the performance was the warb ling and bird notes by Katherlne Mlnahan, who was hidden somewhere In the foliage. "Sanctuary is poetically lm nresalve.

and has for Its purpose the stimulation of Interest In conservation of wild animal life. It is admirably conceived and well'written, and as perform ed last evening was most effective.
