Since Rose Coghlan obtained her bill of
separation from Mr.. Edgerton she has
plunged into the art of acting with all the
ardor that such a profession, rightfully
treated, deserves. Her brother is her
playwright and most thoroughly under
stands the possibilities of his gifted and
erratic sister. Lady Barter, brought out
at Toronto, Canada. was q bowling sue

actress. They are perfect in contour as TO
the bust and stomach, and of Just the right

maid stout of muscle and brawny of wrist
OF late years her too exuberant avoirdu-

new set of corsets, tirner, higher and

From the newspaper reports of things,
Mrs. Leslie Carter IS never 10 know peace
upon the earth. She has the misfortune
10 get at loggerheads with managers,
friends and relatives. And those with
whom she is upon agreeable terms, are, by
some fatality, at swords points with her
manager. How much more comfortable it
must be for womanly soul 20 dwell in
peace and obscurity, earning little bit of
livelihood, rather than in public, doing

II Young man has any true regard for
woman, he will give her ribbon bracelet,
perfectly plain, save for an inscription,
and clasp il upon her arm. IL should
lock. and the key be carried by him who
purchased il. These are not of necessity
engagement bracelets; they mean, merely,
trnc regard and a desire that this state of
feeling shall connitue.

blessed feeling of possession, a little verse
is inscribed upon the bracelet, telling to all
who care 10 read that two more lives have
been made happy in loving each other.
