the Baltimore Bulletin: Miss Nelson has
caused her photographer to suppress the love-

in the shops is full length, and represents
"Imogen" in her boys dress, stretched upon q
grassy. bank. The garb is modest one al
though it is the Rosalind-like 'donblet and
hose, and from the sweet face to the rounded
limbs the impression it gives is that of cl assic
purity and grace. But Miss Nelson thought is
too much on the leg drama style and absolutely
refused to have copies printed So the carte
described is quite unique, and is made all the
more so by the fair actress having written on
the back, evidently in shy allusion to the res-
son that induced her to interdict the pictures
sale, quotation from Cymbeline, viz: II see
that it is hard to be man.

but my little children have them, and myself
have had a slight attack" Once more the
Mayor of Coventry rose to the occasion.
Madam he said, 'I should be only too de-
lighted to take anything from so charming
