declared, ''That'S nothing" in way
calculated to give the ignorant an idea
that Como is just around the corner
from anywhere.
Miss Sturgis is the life of every COM
pany in which she is found. She pos
sesses that rare gift among women, the
ability to tell good story. Her powers
of mimicry are wonderful. Her mobile
face and ready gestures are so express
sive as to make the sound of her voice
almost a superfluity. as any one who
heard her vOiceleSS song at the last meet
of the Nushkas will testify. Miss
SturgiS also enjoys the distinction OF
being one of the very few lady banjoists
in st. Paul, and of playing the best game
of billiards played by any woman lnthis
country.
The Misses Wheelock are especially
literary. Miss Nellie WheelOck gained

the death of her-declareS that Mrs.
Morton's skillful handling of the rib
bons is the one thing on earth that in
spires her with confidence in horse
flesh.
Miss Maud Taylor is one of the society
girls in st. Paul who has the courage to
initiate and the talent to excel the
Princess of Wales. All of Miss Taylor's
dresses, from simple morning gowns
to elaborate ball toilets, are planned
by her own ingenious brain
and fashioned with her own deft fingers.
1t is no stale secret that the Princess of
Wales always manages to have the back
seam of her homemade dress-waists
skew around to one side, where Miss
Taylor's dresses fit her perfectly, thus,
of course, putting one more prop under
the superiority of the American girl
over her royal British cousin.

must think of her first as dramatic
genius. She has never had any stage

of charity with amateurs in
st. Louis, New York and Washington,
she has received encouragement that
would have drawn many other women
into the profession.
