1t Is strange what an advantage .
commonplace actor has over other men
with women. Men are blamed enough,
I am sure, for their fondness for act
resses. But women in these days
seem to be given amazingly to the same
sort Of thing. OF course they only
think Of them A. the heroes they appear
to be on the stage. Gould they SEQ
them Is men do, during the sunlit
hours, they would surely experience
decided disenchantment. But it is
quite useFes's to say SO. The other day
l had the Pleasure of taking young
lady in to dAlner at a fashionable party
in Que9,ec's Gate. She was certain
ly girl from whom 1 had expected
better things, but what was my surprise
to find almost her first remark to be:
Il don't know which I am the fondest
of, Sugden or N'nwaS" 1.-TWO favorite
London actors]. 1t is all the more
strange because in H>ngland actors, as I
have frequently obsA wed, do not get
asked to entertainmcnt>' in social soci-
ETY., as they seem to in America. Yet.
perhaps, that's where it Al is. Did
girls meet them in real life. and see
what illiterate, ill-mannered fellows
they are when not speaking the heroic
words set down for them in play be oks,
they would alter their opinions.
The son of Mr.. W. C.. Craven, one o.
the untitled APPENDICES of royalty, who
few years ago married one of Lon
don's most fascinating bellies, Miss Cot
ton, has just eloped with Mrs. Bos-
we'll, young married beauty, and the
wife of an army officer. Young Craven
since )lis marriage, had run through all
his money with racing, hunting, couch
ing, etc., and as he is but fairly good
looking, people are wondering what
motive Mrs. Boswell had in leaving a
comfortable home and devoted husband
for his society.
He is true to the family strain, is young
Craven. His father is one of the fast
est men about town, and his mother.
who is now separated from her husband,
was ut one time a favorite with the
Prince of Wales. She is sister of the
present Earl of Hardwicke, und is un-
known in respectable society. Curious
~ enough, her husband Is one of the
Princes staunchest frien6s. Such things
are surprising in the abstract, but no.
body seems to notice them in the whirl
of fashionable life.
A new beauty is looming up on tho
horizon. She is Miss Kate Blake. q
comparatively obscure girl from the
South OF England, of quite humble
parentage, but of uncommonly pretty
features and q perfect complexion. I
have heard her compared to Mrs. Lang
try, and the prediction made that sh.,
would be her next rival. All she will
need will be the notice of the Prince of
Wales. London seems in sod need Of
something fresh in the beauty
line. Mrs. CORVALLIS West, Mrs.
Wheeler, Mrs. Livingston Thomp-
son, Lady Garvagh, Lady Castle
resgh Gladys, Lady Lonsdale and
Lady Donoughmore are quite passecs
now; and ~ for Miss Chamberlain, ona
never 80 much Is hears of her. Her
golden butterfly days are quite over in
England, and, doubtless, her papa and
mamma are wishing they had never left
their home in Euclid avenue to throw
away so much time and money ON such
bubble reputation they seemed SO
proud of achieving for their daughter
