A band of black, with silver crescent, on her forehead, and stars on the band, added to the beauty of the lovely Helen, and formed a true conception of the subject.
"Ah, the rogues," exclaimed Sir Howard; "how quietly they stole upon us." Few failed to detect the word, showing a deep appreciation of the grace of Helen Douglas.
The second scene represented a parlor with a young girl in the foreground, having on her head an old-fashioned hood.

This character is assumed by Arabella Farnham, the daughter of an officer retired from the service.

Near the young lady stands a gentleman in the act of pulling off the hood to see her face.

On the opposite side is another young girl in the person of Mary Douglas, in full evening dress, pointing to the hood, and laughing at its old and peculiar shape.
Much applause greeted the actors upon the success of these parts, but the crowning scene was the third and last--the united terms of the preceding ones.

The effect was grand beyond description.
