Secret She Reveals for the Benefit of
 Women
 From the New York World.1
 Several years ago the American public were aroused by the eutree upon the stage or little lady who had been previously but little announced She was one of an lnnumerable number of aspirants for public favor and had no instrumentality, aside from her own talents to cause recognition.' In spite of this fact, however, she quickly achieved warm place in the heart of the public, which she has continued to hold ever since. When it was announced. therefore that Miss Maude Granger would star the coming season in the play FsHer Second Love" written by MT. John 4. Stevens, it was only natural that un-
 usual interest should be manifested not only
 in theatrical circles, but in other branches of the community This was specially the case,
 as it was known that Miss Granger had, for
 the past year, been in exceedingly delicate
 health and the determination to star in
 strong emotional play was the more surprls-
 ing, One of the staff of this paper was ac-
 cordingly deputized to see the popular lady
 and verify the rumor or announce it's lnoor-
 rectness.
 Miss Granger's countenance is familiar to
 nearly every enc in the United States. It is
 face once seen never to be forgotten.
 Features remarkable in their outline and
 contour are surmounted by 8 pair of large
 and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul power. It is easy to see where Miss Gran
 ger obtains the ability to portray characters of the most emotional nature. She possess
 es within herself the elements of feeling without which no emotion can be conveyed to an audience The man of news found the
 lady at her home in this city and was accord ed quiet welcome. It was evident at once that she WAS in greatly improved health,
 which the expression and color of her coun-
 tenanee both indicated.
 'sIs it true, Miss Granger, that you con-
 askor krT1,s "Yes. indeed. My season begins in Chica- go on the 18th of July. From there go to San Francisco and then play the remainder of the season through the eastern and west ern States"
 Are you confident your health will per init such an undertaking ?"
 A ringing laugh was the first reply to this qnestion after which she said Certainly. It is true have been ill for the past two years, but now am wholly re- covered. Few people can have any idea Of the strain 8 conscientious actress undergoes
 in essaying an emotional part. 1t IS necessa- " to put one's whole soul into the work 1n order to rightly portray the character. This necessitates an utter abandonment of ones personality and an assumption of the charac- ter portrayed. If this is an emotional part it is necessary to feel the same emotions the part is supposed to feel. For mora than year I actually cried each night in certain passages of part was playing. The au- dience considered it art. Probably it was, but those were none the less real tears and the effect was none the less trying upon my health"
 '.But do you anticipate avoiding this in the future?" ..
 ''Not in the least. I expect to have just as great strain as before, but with restored health and a knowledge of how to retain it
 do not fear"
 "You speak of knowledge of how to re- tain health Will you please explain what you mean by that ?'
 You must be aware that women by their very natures are subject to troubles and af- fictions unknown to the sterner sex. The name of these troubles is legion, but in whatever form they may come they are weaknesses which interfere with every ambi- \ tion and hope in life. believe thousands of noble women are to-day suffering agonies of | which even their best friends and relatives I know little or nothing. and when l reflect ! upon it confess it makes me sad. Now all ' this misery arises largely from an ignorance | of the laws of life or g neglect to carefully | observe them. speak from the depths of \ bitter experience in saying this, and l am ! thankful I know the means of restoration, | and how to remain in perfect health" "Please explain more fully" stWeIl, I have found remedy which seems ! specially adapted for this very purpose. It \ is pure and palatable and controls the health and life as, believe, nothing else will. It is 1 really invaluable and if all the women in { America were to use it am quite sure most | of the suffering and many deaths might be 1 avoided"
 'FWhat is this wonderful remedy 2" ! 'Warner's Safe Cure"
 I "And you use it ?"
 l Constantly"
 | 'tAnd hence believe you will be able to go l through the coming season successfully" ?" q am quite certain of it.
 IA few questions more, Miss Granger. i Will you please give me a list of the parts ! you have created and the plays you have taken part in since your fist appearance in public?"
 q first played for some time with the anna teurs in New York and Brooklyn. I then ! went to the Union Square theatre for two ! seasons, after that to the Boston Globe for ! one season and then to Booths theatre in this city. Next I supported John Mccullough and afterwards starred in Juliet Camille, Rosalind, etc. Subsequently I created the part of Cicely Blaine in the Galley Slave and also starred in Two Nights in Rome, playing the part of Antonia. The past year I have been playing in the Planters Wife and the | coming season, as have said, will be deTo- | ted to Her Second Love-"
 AS the writer was returning home he fell | into train of musing and wondered if all the women in this land who are suffering could only know Miss Granger's experience and the remarkable results achieved by the
 pure remedy she used, how much suffering l might be avoided and how much happiness | secured.
