ady visitors on the Players club recep-

lady visitors on the Players club recep- tion day by Barrett's frou frou bedroom. He and Booth have bed chambers on the top floor and these were open on ladies' day for the inspection of the fair guests, who appeared to be greatly interested. Booths apartment occupies the front of the house and looks like the usual bach elor quarters with that mixture of luxury and comfortlessness so common in the apartments of q man. l: Is Il large airy apartment overlooking Gramercy square, prettily papered with quaint little legends on the frie2e taken from the older drama lists and Shakespeare. Some of the furniture Is very handsome and has rather the air of theatrical properties including the beautiful old Hamlet chair, the sword which hc wears as the Danish prince standing in the corner by tho chimney piece. There are no frills or daintiness anywhere, only book case in the corner excited the attention and curi- osity of the women, because of the bit of drapery evidently thrown there in haste to conceal the contents behind the glass door. Most of them found the chance in passing to twitch this drapery aside and get a glimpse of the interior, which revealed that there had been a sudden housekeeping before they came and confused mass of old pipes, to- bacco jars, boots and odds and ends of every description had been tumbled in there to be hidden from view.
 It was a little amusing to pass from the library of rare, valuable books, which Booth had given to the club, to his own bookcase in his room and read the titles of the works which had amused his leis- ure; the most frivolous of romances and the lightest sort of verse. He has cer- tainly given the best of all his library to his pet institution, and now that his days of study are over, he evidently gives him self up to the very lightest of literature. Burrctts apartment in the rear Is in the most marked contrast, and the women were never through admiring the alcove curtained with lace, as if for q bride, con- taining bed of oxidized silver, mass of delicate snowy draperies, rutfled pillows and shrouded in curtains of muslin and lace. The carpet was of the most deli-
