The Prince of Wales, who made
Mrs. Langtry's fortune by the repu-
tation-blighting touch of his royal
and bejeweled libertine hand, has
sought the presence of Mary Ander-
son. She Is woman, and she felt a
just scorn for that puppy in royal tim
sci, the Prince of Wales. In the
light Of her pure womanhood the
royal masher cuts as poor a figure as
a circus cavalier when the daylight
shines upon his tawdy trappings.
While so many are blinded and daz-
zled by the false glitter of royalty,
the soul-searching eyes of our brave
kentucky girl saw only the base soul
beneath the superficial blaze of royal
glory, and snubbed the Prince of
Wales right royalty. We would
walk mile through a long, dark,
muddy lane to see Mary Anderson
play now, and never finch at the
highest price of admission.

An Indiana Girl. who. before 81

An Indiana girl, who, before she
went to Hampton college, thought
her fathers log hut a palatial mansion
compared with the surrounding te-
pees, and kept up the illusion, look
ing forward with pleasure to the
grand reception her father would
have On her return, burst into tears
as she walked into the rude hut and
realized how completely her educa-
ton had isolated her from all that
had been so romantic in her former
surroundings. On the other hand,
when her sister saw her polonaise,
her jaunty hat and her high heeled
French shoes, she cried her eyes out
because she couldn't be civilized,
too. When the daughter began to
"clean up" and "set things to
rights in the old hut, her father be-
gan to think seriously about sending
her back east. He couldn't stand
that kind of nonsense.
