MRS. POTTER AND HER GOWNS
Home Again with a Lot of Them (Which
Worth Would Call Dreams.

Mrs. James Brown Potter came back from
Europe yesterday imbued with the excellent
idea that "actions, not words" will best suit
her purposes. The hackneyed utterances of
transatlantic dramatic arrivals she positively
scorned. She declined to gush about the
dear public, did not make a point of the fact
that she was glad to be back in America, and
told no stories about the Prince of Wales and
the English aristocracy.

The only little luxury she allowed herself
-and it was an exquisitely pardonable one-
was a description of the costumes which she
will wear in "Mlle. de Bressier."

Mrs. Potter has what Worth would call
sundry "dreams" in the way of dresses, and
as she was interested in them herself, she
rightly imagined that other people would like
to hear about them.

Mrs. Potter declared that she had no inten.
tion, when she went to London, of starring
in England. She was anxious to secure an
engagement in the stock company of the Hay.
market Theatre, for the sake of the experi-
ence it would give her.

Mr. Miner will sell the choice of seats for
Mrs. Potter's first performance by auction on
Oct. 19, and there will doubtless be some in.
teresting bidding.
