Columbine monologue — Aria da Capo

Tight black satin bodice cut very low, with straps over the shoulders, quite like the modern evening gown; very full tarleton skirts of different shades of pink and cerise, reaching to the knees; ruffled bloomers of apple‐green tarleton, the ruffles showing below the skirts; black silk stockings and black ballet slippers, laced with green. Hat of lavender crêpe paper, with streamers of gay colors—including, however, no clear red or blue. Hat should be small and very smart—not a _shepherdess_ hat. Columbine should be made up to suggest a doll. As originally interpreted she had short light hair, standing out bushily all over her head. Long hair should be rolled under to give a _bobbed_ effect, or could be arranged in obvious caricature of some extreme modern style, but must look attractive, and must be blonde.
