A close carriage stopped in front of one of
the art galleries Out Of it stepped, in mani
fest feebleness, a woman whose figure would
have been shapely and commanding had not
illness bowed it. In the paid face recog-
nized a once handsome actress Away bacl,
in the days Of the third or fourth annual re-
production of the "Black Crook" she was the
Stalacta- The dudes of a decade and half
ago sat in the front seats of Booths theatre
and ardently admired her. OF late years she
has been out of sight here, though she has
performed in small travelling companies.
Now she is dying of consumption, and is an
inmate of public hospital. Barely able to go
out at all, she seemed to have made this outing
for the purpose of seeing Piioty's painting,
The Wise and Foolish Virgins" which was
IN exhibition in the establishment which she
entered She spent only quarter of an
hour in gazing languidly on the famous cam
vas, and wondered whether the subject had
a special interest for her. 1t is a fact that
for popular stage purposes there are usually
no more than ten years of life for a beautiful
woman.-New York Sun.

himself in the traces, he works day and night,
his hours of recreation are reduced to mini

time to eat his meals in such a way that his
food can be the most easily digested, the ten.

entirely relaxed. He has his wish. he dies
