Ing result. In Newport there are also a
few summer homes that cary out artistic
effects in delightful manner, and prin-
cipally in hall architecture there are
its best phase that are delightful. Mr..
Goelet's house at the end of the Cliff
walk in Newport has a hall that is
one Of the finest, probably, in New
England. 1t is room of unusual height,
depth and width, and therefore rich
field for decorative possibilities. Splen-
did effects have been produced by the
somewhat novel introduction of large
balconies on the second floor overlook
ing the big main hall below. Slender,
handsomely carved railings support the
roof, that is formed of Oaken beams and
panels. The walls of the upper bal
comics, that are in full view of the lower
hall, are hung with splendid pieces of
old Flemish tapestry. and over the slen-
der balustrade edging the balconies soft
bits of Venetian draperies are carelessly
hung. One side of the large lower hall
is occupied by the huge open fire.
place, with carved Oaken mantel
above, and directly opposite is a
deep divan of old oak with cam
opy of oak supported by exquisitely
carved columns that is a magnificent
piece of wood carving. Such room, Of
course, can only be secured by lavish
expenditure of money, but a similar eff
feet was produced in cottage at SOr-
rentO. opposite Bar Harbor, built by
Frank Hill Smith, of Boston, and de-
scribed by me in ''chat' in these col
umns about year ago. That house, if
l remember (aprOpOS of inexpensive
little more than $1,000, and its principal
room on the lower floor was a great
Square-hall compartment, with Splen-
did stone fireplace and surrounded by a
balcony on three sides on the second
floor. Over the slender railing edging
this balcony Mr.. Smith proposed having
rugs and bits of drapery for ornamental
tion. This is the cottage that has been
purchased recently by Col. Dan Lamont,
President Cleveland's efficient secre-
tary, and to be occupied this summer by
Mrs. Lamont and her chilcren.
One of the best examples of hall
architecture in an American summer
home is i'll the country residence of o.
d. Mum, few miles out of New York.
This hall is decorated almost entirely
with woodwork of quarteIed oak and
beveled panels six feet in length.
Reaching from the top of these panels
to the ceiling is a hanging of embossed
leather. The oaken ceiling is crossed
by heavy Oaken beams, and dividing
the hall is an arcade through which
low. easy-ascending stairs are seen.
Across one arch is handsome Moorish
screen, finely carved. The windows.
that are filled with beveled plate and
richly stained glass, have their recesses
filled in with carved oaken settees. In
stead of gas chandeliers there are heavy
wrought iron lanterns in quaint de-
signs used for illuminations. All the
furniture is of carved antique oak, and
most of it was brought from an old cha
teau in Holland.

MEMENTO MORT.

1t may be that the flowers of spring
Will ope their buds when l shall die,
Or that the summer birds will sing
When death Demands my latest sigh.
1t may be that the autumn leaves
Fall withered DER my open grave,
Or that the snow-clad earth receives
The lifeless clay that erst it gave.
1t may be when the day is bright
The Angel of the Lord will come;
1t may be in the dead of night
That Messenger will call me home.
Perchance that in foreign land,
Unknown. unnotieed | may fall,
Or that at home some loving hand
Will ease my anguish at the call.
1t is, that when I most shall burn
With worldly pride and thoughts of earth
God Will compel me to return
The soul He gave me at my birth.
30 let it be my constant care,
The aim of every thought and breath,
My sinful spirit to prepare
And, during life, remember DEATH

The first appearance l ever made was
in boys part as FREDERICK in Mig

Opera company at the time. The SEN
satiOnS were decidedly unusual. must
confess, and naturally L was somewhat
embarrassed; but | had taken up the
part on short nOtice-in fact, learned
it in less than day-So that when | got
on the stage | had to pay such close at
tentiOn to what | was doing that |
hardly had any time to think of the cos
tune L was wearing.
l was very nervous, however, partly
because L felt scarcely sure of myself
throughwant of preparation, land partly,
no doubt, because the familiar ehcum-
brance of my skirts was absent, so that
when the audience demanded an encore

my head most decidedly to the musical
director and said Mop Fancya prima

refusing to encore.
This was in grand opera, however; q;
but L found the seasons too short and
the salaries too uncertain, and turned
my attention to the comic opera stage,
with which | have now been identified
for several years. Here / wore more
tights than had done previously, and
the public can easily remember
nearly all about my appearances
in them. L started in under
the management of Col. McCaull,
and sang the part of Laura in the BEG

the Casino. Appearances in ''Falka,"
''Prince Methusalem," "The Queens

made up my career as prima donna in
comic opera, and in all the characters L
assumed i'll these operas tights consti-
tuted the principal part of my costume.

my performance? Did they say any
thing about my acting? Did they recog-

tory work at all? Did they give me one

The sum and substance of their criti-

That is all that New York newspaper

nearly three hours. That was all.

And what was all this fuss about? In

nearly to the skirts of my coat, instead
of the ones to be seen in the picture.
Between the coat and the top of the
boots about two and half inches of
tights are visible. Of course, this came
just at the thickest part of the limb,
and the effect may have been rather
noticeable from the front. But that
doesn't make any difference. The

l do not particularly object to appear

one point at which l draw the line. l
would not go simply for the sake of
showing my figure. There is one little
girl with a lovely form who appears in
comic opera in boys clothes, and whose
parts are usually written into the
libretto for her so that she may make
this exhibition of her loveliness. This
is certainly carrying the matter too far.
ThF talk about padding on the stage is
all rubbish. l do not believe there is
girl on the stage of the Casino to-day, or
rather tonight, who pads at all, and
there are any quantity of lovely figures
among them. L know there has great
deal been written on the subject, but so
far as my observation goes the tendency
of costumes in modern comic opera is
fortunately not of such character as
any modest woman is called upon to dis
approve.

How ones memories of a first expert
ence lingtr! / shall never forget how
| involuntarily looked down at my feet
to see if they really touched the floor
on that night. about four years ago,
when as Puck in ''Sieba," at the Star
theater, l danced an impromptu
to shake off the nervousness
that preceded the first appearance in a
new part. When | got on the stage |
was overwhelmed by the conviction that
the gaze of everybody in the house was
concentrated upon my tights! My first
impulse was to turn my face away. l
did not mind showing my face when my
tights happened to be concealed beneath
my skirt, as they had been up to that
time.
Nor would have been so sensitive
about revealing my tights could have
the same time required an effort of
which was not at first capable.
That effort once eXerted, however, I
was at ease even after.
| have not found that the wearing of
tights ever had any visible effect on my
health. have no doubt that much of
he injury that might be supposed to
tome from the wearing of tights really
results from what may be inside those
tights.
Adipose tissue is a gift which the gods
have distributed among women un-
equally. Things are not always what
they seem. and what masquerades as
genuine leg is frequently cotton. Pad
ding, if begun at an early age, is sure
to prevent subsequent development of
the padder, or, rather, of the padded.
1t is a crime which, if once committed,
must be repeated and persisted in.
Therefore, you who are entering on
career of burleSque or comic opera,
don't pad. The most symmetrical limbs
are frequently the slenderest. When
poets rave over SinuOuS curves they
don't mean beefy rotundity. And be-
sides. the masculine eye, if it has been
around any. can easily detect the decep-
ton by closely observing the knee.
There is something about the human
knee, especially when it is in motion,
that speaks for itself. Padding is most
often employed, | suppose, to exc out
the dimensions of calves and thighs.
The inner side of the thigh is the weak
spot in the architecture of the average
woman, and deXterouS filling out III that
direction is often artiSticaily effective
1t may be truth instead of libel
that a perfectly symmetrical form Is
still an unrealiZed ideal among the
lovely things of earth. But it is absurd
to say that no actress appears on the
stage in her unpadded reality. l know
many actresses who, | am pretty GER
tain, are genuine, what there is of them,
| be it good or bad, be they moulded in
lines of beauty or as full of angles as
the demonstrations of Euclid. There
are many actresses who do not pad, and
there are dozen or so who do pad.
But it would be unkind to give them
away.
There are tights and tights you can
buy from SS to $40 pair. Plain, fine
silk ones are the, most becoming, and
when my part calls for tights l never
wrar anything else. They will not wear
properly more than twenty-eight or
thirty performances, so you will see
| that tights are not the least expensive
portion of burlesque SIRENS dress, or
undress, as it is the fashion of the brill
liant paragrapherS to call it.
