Imperia, Lady Iinrui.,..

To many of her majesty's subjects it has
been known for more than a half century
past that our gracious queen is endowed with
the gift of tongues" In fact, she is one Of
the four most accomplished linguists among
living ladies Of imperial rank, the other
three being her own daughter, Victoria, the
widowed German empress; Marie Feodo-
rovna, the Russian czarina, and Elizabeth,
the Austrian kaiserin. The venerable SOW
ereign of these realms is absolute mistress of
the four European hnguages-French, Ger
man, Italian and Spanish-which are most
interesting from q literary point of view
Taking into consideration her strong predi-
lection for the LAND o. Cakes and for the
Highland people, it is by no means surprising
that her majesty should be 'weel acquent
with ia Gaelic" and we have been informed
that, some years ago, she assiduously and
successfully studied one of the native Ian
guages of her Indian Empire. London Daily

II is said by The New York Sun that some
Of the most beautiful girls In New York are
to be found in the dramatic agencies, and
more stories aud odd phases Of character are
to be found in these resorts than anywhere
else In town. Undoubtedly the dramatic
agency is the last resort Of many women who
are driven to desperate means and their man.
ner when they enter the agents Office for the
first time is often indicative OF the awful ner-
vousness which takes hold OF an amateur
who first comes in contact with anything or
anybody belonging to the profession Of the
stage. The better agencies are now run in a
business fashion, however, and, though they
suggest servant girl employment bureaus on
large scale, the faces OF tho women destroy
the illusion. Beauty is so prevalent as to be
actually at a discount.
