MARY ANDERSON AT HOME.
Ehe Appears to BE Truly Happy Settled

She Appears to BE Truly Happy Settled In
Her Home in England.
For the best part Of the last twelve
months Mr.. and Mrs de Navarro have
been living at Tunbridge Wells, in the
green neighborhood Of which they have
determined 10 settle down definitely in a
pretty house. Between household occu-
pations and discoveries, the long rambles
through the lanes and byways in which
husband and wife take an equal delight,
the study Of Spanish pursued by Mrs. de
Navarro under her husbands tuition, the
evenings devoted to music TO which both
are passionately devoted, while Mr.. de
Navarro is n high class performer as well
As c0nnOisseur and compOserj and the
htercourse with few friends, complete
their daily routine.
All Tunbridge Wells has from the first
shown itself not only willing but eager to
Este and welcome "the De Nayarros."
Unfortunately, these strenuous endeay-
ors have 30 far met with very little re-
sponse. II yuu go to the Roman Catholic
Shurch down in the town you may, Sun
Aay after Sunday-mostly at ca-ly mass,
10 well as during the chief service Of the
day--see Mr.. and Mrs do Navarro, side
by side, looking into the same book and
toining in the service with the deyout-
ness for which Miss Mary Anderson has
always had the reputation, which is fully
shared by Mr. Antonio de Navarro.
They are unwearying walkers too. The
h&dy who has had more social and artis-
dc triuInphs and successes than fall to
sne share Of many women, be they ever
10 fair and accomplished and the gentle
@an who has travelled over the best part
ii the globe, ana enjoys the intimate
friendship Of many an eminent musician,
mink it neither iuira dig nor dun to
spend a sunny afternoon in quiet game
vi croquet or tennis, or in easy chat with
friends whose literary and artistic inter
sats preclude the conversation from ever
falling TO the level Of average society.
II was in the drawing room of one Of
the pretty country houses on the hill
slopes above Tunbridge Wells that met
Mr. and Mrs. de Navarro OF course
had heard dim rumors that Miss Mary
Anderson WIS completely broken down
In health, that she was "a wreck Of her
former self, pale, and-a favoritesociety
phrnse-'gone OFF, altogether. 1t was
therefore with considerable surprise that
looked up TO the radiant woman enter
ing the room, her figure as queenly as
ever, her face as beautiful, and flushed
with the healthy tinge that follows an
outdoor life in pure air and pleasant sur
Toundings, and her eyes flashing with
happiness and high spirits. Her dress
was elegant, but very simple; she wears
the close fitting sage green costume with
the unequaled grace we have learned to
appreciate since we saw Miss Mary An
derson as Galatea, but which is con
sidered 20 go only with the clingiug
draperies of ancient Greece.
Mr. do Navarro, if his wife expressed
the wish TO return TO the stage, would
never think Of preventing her; me has far
too much of the artist soul not TO SYM
pathize TO the fun with the longings TO
express in acting or painting or music
what stirs the heart ana mind But no;
She had the choice between public life
Of triumph and success and a very SIM
pie retired home life; she has chosen the
latter, and is radiantly happy IN it,
