MAUD GRANGER AND LAURA DON.
A short time ago great interest and c,r;-

the most beautiful actress in Lester W sIlack,s
company. The actors fund had lust beac

OF the actresses OF New York, Miss Laura
Don unquesiionably has the most artistic
honor. She lives in fat 10 Upper Sixth
avenue, which is a model OF esthetic decora-
ton. The windows are stained glass in adj
mirable harmony, and the upholstering and
hangings are in the most advanced styles of
modern art. Miss Don not only acts, but
enjoys an extended reputation as a clever
painter. She has several pictures in the
National Academy exhibition, and undoubt-
eddy could make a good income with her
brush. Besides, she writes for the magazines,
and has written brilliant play. 1t ia to be
expected that such a womsn would make her
home artistically attractive.
ROSE CoGHLAN AND MARIE PRESCOTT.
Mas Rose Coghlau, of WaIlack'4, has diff
ferent tastes. she, as the leading lady of
the most fashionable of American theaters,
considers herself as the same status as New
York's leading society woman. She is recog-
nized in society, and moves among the bet
ter, or, at any rate, richer class than any
Of our resident actresses. Accordingly, she
lives like society woman, has a brougha m
with coachman and groom, French maid,
small hall boy, pug dog and a fashionable
suite of rooms in FIfty-sixlh street. At the
correct hour every day she shops or drives
or receives callers at the conventional hour
of 5 O'Clock. She has had plenty of time
for this sort of thing lately, as Mr.. Wallsck
has. not had her on the boards of his thea
ter for many months.
Marie Prescott, who supports SAlvini, lives
with her husband, who keeps a grocery store,
in clearinghouse and flats. They both
believe Miss Prescott 10 be the greatest
actress on earth, and are very happy when
together. William Horace Lingard and his
wife Alice Lingard, have just bought house
In Eighteenth street, where they live quietly
when in town. II is rather an extensive
honse, and as yet not thoroughly finished.
PATTI AND SARAH JEwErr.
Patti lives in the Windsor Hotel when in
New York. No person on earth could in
duce her to go elsewhere, and it is doubtful
If she would consent to an American tour if
it were not for the care taken of her at her
favorite hotel. The Windsor people have
made study OF her habits, and look care
fully after her when she is in the house. The
whole kitchen is excited when a bird is
broiling for the great diUa, and her suppers
are the result OF the most elaborate prepar-
atoms.
Sarah Jewett, OF the Union Square Thea
ter Company, has a small and we'll behaved
circle of friends. She lives in fat in East
Eighteenth street with her widowed mother
Her tastes are refined, and she uncommonly
well educated. Formerly she held clerk
ship in the Postoffice Department at WASH
ingtoD. She writes pretty fair poetry and
paints with fair degree of amateur skill.
Her rooms are excellently furnished, but
with none OF that extravaganza which is in
the cases of two many actresses incompatible
with their salaries. A coteyie of older
actresses is composed of Efie Germop, Louisa
Mrs. G. c. Boniface, Mrs. G. 81.
Gilbert, Mrs. Phillips and several more who
constitute kind OF green,room tea party.
They go to shows together Whenever they
are out of the bills themselves, and they hold
weekly afternoon meetings for all the world
like female church members.
