The most devoted and uncompromis-
ing worshipers Of Robert Browning live
in Springfield, and, of course, they are
women. They gathered at the home Of
well known lawyer, and listened with
rapt and soulful attention to selections
from the great poet as read BY the law
yer's wife. At length the reader paused
to learn il there might be any ennui on
the part Of the audience. s'It is exquis-
ite," murmurcd the Browningites in
concert, and the reading proceeded.
Again the hostess paused, solicitous, and
asked her guests if they were sure they

"A Pen Picture Of a WeII Known Woman.
One day last week a customer in one
Of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention Of the clerk at the
moment. There was nothing about her
to attract IA second glance. She looked
to be close upon go years of age, her hair
was very gray, though not white, and
pair Of large, rather dark eyes looked
out from Il coiorless, unimpressive face.
In figure she was short and small, and
the black costume she wore was simple
to plainness. Yet when she gave her
name and address for a parcel to be sent
it was realized that this little woman Of
insignificant appearance was one whose
name eighteen years ago was in every
body's mouth from one end Of the coun-
try to the other, ana whose personality
at that time was almost as well known
as her name She was Mrs. Theodore
Tilton. New York Times.
