lie were aroused by the entree upon
the stage of little lady who had been
prviously but little announced. She
was one of an innumerable 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
of the public which she has continued
to hold ever since. when it was an
nounced, therefore, that Miss Maude
Granger would star the coming sea-
son in the play "Her Second Love-"
written by Mr.. John A. Stevens, it
was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only in theat-
rical 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 emo
tional play was the more surprising.
One of the staff of this paper was ac-
cordingly deputized to see the popular
lady and verify the rumor or announce
it's incorrectness.
Miss Changers countenance is ia
miliar to nearly every one in the
United States. 1t is face one seen
never to be forgotten. Features re-
markable in their outline and contour
are surmounted by C pair of large and
deep eyes indicative of the greatest
soul power. 1t is easy to see where
Miss Granger obtains the ability to
portray characters of the most emo
tional nature. She possesses 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 accorded q quiet welcome. 1t
was evident at once that she was in
greatly improved health, which the
expression and color of her counte-
nance both indicated.
"Is it true Miss Granger that you
contemplate starring tour the COM
ing season."
Eyes, indeed. My season begins in
Chicago on the 10th of July. From
there I 60 to San Francisco and then
play the remainder of the season
through the eastern and western
states"
"Are you confident your health will
permit such an undertaking?"
A ringing laugh was the first reply
to this question, after which she said:
"Certainly. 1t is true l have been

But do you anticipate avoiding
this in the future?"
"Not in the least. l expect to have
just as great q strain as before but
with restored health and q knowledge
of how to retain it l do not fear"
"You speak Of q knowledge of how

plain what you mean by that?"
"You must be aware that women by
their very natures are subject to trou.

sterner sex. The name of these trou.
bles is legion, but in whatever form
they may come they are weaknesses

''And you use it?"
"Constantly."
"And hence believe you will be
