John STRANGE WINTER.
The Handsome Woman Who Hides Under
Mans Name.

The novels of John Strange Winter
have made wide circle of friends for the
author of Bottles Baby" in America as
well as in england. In private life John
Strange Winter" is Mrs. Arthur Stannard
a tall and handsome woman of thirty-four
She has fine dark brown eyes, which
sparkle with intellect and humor level
eyebrows and dark hair curling over her
low forehead and well-shaped head; she
has a pretty but firm little mouth, and
clear-cut chin, indicative of strength of
will. Her masculine pen name was
adopted upon the advice Of the publish
ers of her first books, because they
thought il wiser that works so military as
Cavalry Life" and 'Regimental Legends"
should be assumed by the world to be
written by q man, and that they would
stand a. better chance OF mercy at the
hands of the critics than if they went
forth as the acknowledged work of
woman, but when "Bootles' Baby made
such n success, and people wanted to
know who the author was and where he
lived, it soon became known that she"
was a woman THE author to whom"

A PICTURE OF LADY MACDONALD.
The Brilliant Woman Who Has Shared
Tolls and Triumphs.

The Brilliant Woman Who Has Shared
Tolls and Triumphs.
The brilliant woman who for nearly
twenty-five years has shared with the
dead premier of Canada-to degree not
common in the case of wives OF public
men-the tolls and triumphs OF his
arduous and illustrious Eca-eer, is a gift
from the sunny South to the snowy North,
says the New York Press, the island of
Jamaica having been her birthplace, a
half century ago. Her parents were of
aristocratic and wealthy Creole families
this term being used in its strictly accur-
ate meaning, as designating Europeans
long resident in the West Indies. Her
father filled a judges chair for many
years, and on the mothers side were ex-
tensive interests In sugar plantations.
While still mere child Miss Agnes Ber-
nard lost her father. Her eldest
brother determined to try his luck in Can
ada and his sister accompanied him
Neither ever regretted the step. Mr..
Bernard met the Hon. John A. Macdon-
aid, then Encouragement for western
Canada, and became his private secre-
tary. Miss Bernard ten years later be-
came his wife, The marriage was cele-
brated in the famous st. Georges church,
Hanover square, London. In figure and
complexion Lady Macdonald is a striking
illustration of the change that comes
alike to all of Europeon lineage after
long residence beneath the hot, southern
sun, for she is tall and tawny, with warm
tints of color glowing in her cheeks. Her
abundant hair a few years ago became
white as snow and now makes a wonder
fully becoming aureole about her high,
broad forehead. Energy and determina-
ton are Enthusiastically stamped upon a
countenance whose habitual expression is
somewhat grave. Yet when moved to
laughter the whole face lights up until
every trace of care and anxious thought
vanishes from it. In the art of converse
ton Lady Macdonald has nothing to learn.
She Is an omnivorous reader, and not only
reads but digests and assimilates her read
ing, while a retentive memory keeps at
command all that she acquires.

AN AMERICAN PRINCESS.
A Pretty Jersey Girl who Became tn

Pretty jersey Girl who Became the
Brilliant Duchess de mouohy.
Paris Letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph
The duchess de Mouchy, the American
Princess" as they used to call her during
the bright days of the second empire, is
now at Naples, where she is suffering
from a severe attack Of illness AS may
be remembered, she was the Princess
Anna Murat, and her mother was orig
inally Mrs. Caroline Frazer of Charlestown.
She herself was born in Bordentown, n. j.
She was looked upon as the beauty par
excellence. not only of the imperial fam
lily, but of the entire court as well. The
emperor tried hard TO find a royal hus-
band for his fair kinswoman-one of the
alliances he endeavored to arrange for her
being with the Count de Flanders, the
future king OF the Belgians But none of
the princes OF Europe was willing TO
espouce this charming lady. She was the
intimate friend and especial darling of the
empress, and she wont to call the imperial
lady aunt" at the empress particular
request.
The empress took great delight in the
beauty OF the Princess Anna, and used to
lend her a number of her own finest
Jewels HhcH ucChllR uer IOr any Oh the
grand entertainments ofthe court with the
interest and solicitude that a mother
might have displayed. Tradition still pre-
serves the description of a gorgeous and
original toilet which was worn by the
princess at one of the fancy-dress balls of
the empire. II representation rather its
beauteous wearer did-a peacock. The
train was entirely covered with the tall
feathers OF the royal bird, set with great
precision, so az to produce the exact effect
of the peacock train The dress, of satin
OF vivid blush green, was made with
low-necked corsage, crossed from the left
shoulder TO the right side of the waist
with wide baldric composed OF dia-
monds, emeralds and sapphires. A mas
sive and elaborate necklace of the same
gem encircIed the lady's neck, and above
her brow the peacocks crest was repro
5ucsd By large diamonds aud sapDhires

The addition 20 our circulating medium
up TO the present time which free coinage
would have caused could not have ex-
ceeded Sl5,000OO0. Such an addition
would have been a great boon in the pres
ent stringency of the money market. The
prediction that European coin would be
sent here if our minis were opened TO free
coinage of silver is idle. Europe needs
ali her silver coin. II is all held in re-
serve for her redemption of paper or lie in
circulation among the people. 1t is the
peoples money, which cannot be with
drawn without great Inconvenience. It il
circulating on par with gold at ratio of
15I TO l. This is a valuation higher by
more than per cent. than that placed on
the silver in the standard dollar. There Is
no silver coin in the world which is not
valued higher than our own, except the
Mexican dollar, which contains little
more silver than there is in the standard
dollar of the United States. The only
cheap silver in the world is the small ac-
emulation oi silver bullion now on the
market. That accumulation not only de-
presses the price of silver, but weighs
down the price Of all commodities.

WHATS IN A KISs7
The Amusing Experience OF an Enthusiastic
Actress.
THE PhfIadelphia Press


Actress.
The Philadelphia Press
The very startling question was put to a
popular and pretty actress at a jolly sup
per: "Do you ever rehearse stage kisses?"
The young lady smiled and replied that
she always did.
'Not repeatedly" she said, "but just
once. don't care to be surprised by a
peculiar sort of kiss on the night OF per-
Torrance, so always have an actor show
me beforehand Just how he is going to do
it. There's nothing in acting that | dread
so much as q kiss. No, I'm not prude
and do not suffer from the actual contact
of polite and good looking fellows lips,
but there are more chances OF disaster in
a stage kiss than in almos: any action in
the drama. In the first place it is apt to
destroy my makeup. Then the actor

wig if I'm wearing one, or he may clutch
me so tight that when he let's me 20
lose my balance and get laughed at. My
worst stage experience resulted from u
kiss. Ii was in scene OF immense
pathos, while l am hanging about
my lovers neck, who is being taken TO
prison. The actor who played the wooer
was an awfully nice fellow, and not in the
least disagreeable to hang to. / did so
with extra tenacity on the night in aues-
ton, and l noticed that he tried to free
himself of me. But chung on tight and
glued my face to his. let me gop he
gasped, and tried TO drag back, but
pressed my face still closer, determined to
get lot out of the scene. Suddenly, as l
was rapturously kissing him, he sneezed.
Oh, what a sneeze il was 1t seemed to
start from his boots, and bounded away
from him, dazed by the shock. Then
heard roar of laughter in the audience,
and saw my lover rushing from the stage
with one section Of his black mustache
missing. There was another speech be-
fore the act should have ended, but the
stage manager did not wait for 1t. He rang
down the curtain, and then informed me
that had better return the actors mus
tache to him. When | reached my dress

mustache sticking to my chin. had not
kissed it away. The actor lost it in the
sneeze."
