THE STORY IS ALL TRUE,
and it 1uns like this: Ten Years ago. here
in New York, Ella was beautiful young
girl. whose inclination toward the stage was
sufficiently strong to induce her to devote
an hour or so a day to lessons from Matilda
Heron. She bore the very flower
OF the capricious and perishable
American loveliuess that has just
been bllghted in the blossom of its matu-
rlty; face that depended for its charm
upon coloring and expression rather than
mere regularity of feature. The light of
witchery and high intelligenc. in the hazel
eyes; a half serious smile almost always on
the well-cut lips: low, broad brow,
fringed with silken soft brown hair: over

French call mutine. A figure that would
delight sculptor. girlish, yet voluptuous.
Its curves what the aesthetics call pure
Greek, the feet and hands small and fault
less, the walk undulating, the clear olive of
the complexion, something suggestive
of Indian blood in its refined type
of beauty. the ideal Pocahon-
tas with all the elegance of
New Yorker of to-day. 1t was on the oc-
casion of benefit given to Matilda Heron
at Booths Theater one afternoon that this
fascinating pupil made her first appearance
on any stage. The distinction and ease of
her bearing, the unquestonable affinity
which she showed for the art of acting, IA
vorably impressed the spectators. But this
beautiful girl was caprice incarnate. She
suddenly determined not to become an &C
tress, but to study for the opera. Signor
Abilities was professor of singing. husband
of the famous Gazzanigi, little olive

Her feats of pictorial appearance in public

body wore better costumes, and she was
always in the van of fashion. Although
thoroughly scandalous, her doings had a
spirit of dash and gloss of politeness that
half excused them to the multitude. One
