Miss Lewis has been professional
actress for only four years before this, but
she has been a born actress for about
twenty-one years She is a little woman
with eyes full of jokes and with brown
hair, and her own chatter off the stage IS a
good deal brighter than the lines the author
has given her in lyon Yonson," the Swed
ish farce comedy in which she plays.
She doesn't pretend to be particularly
hard student (most actresses do, for she
thinks she gets about work enough for one

and she rides bicycle whenever she gets

She has three sisters and mother. and

Mrs. Lewis always travels with her clever

After the actors have learned their parts
thoroughly the stage manager must turn
his attention 10 the way they handle their
bodies. He should correct at rehearsal
every ungraceful movement and devise
stage groupings which are effective and
eloquent when seen from the audiences
point OF view. There are also many little
tricks of stage business" which he should
explain TO the actors For instance, when
two people are on the stage together it is
proper courtesy for each actor 70 take "a

The Horse In india.

India has been described by a Euro
pean as the paradise Of horses, and from
his point of view the phrase Is not I'M
fitting The natural affinity between
horses and Englishmen becomes closer
bond by residence in India, where every
body rides--or ought TO ride--where
horses and horse keep are cheap. and
where large castles OF stable servants,
contented with low wage, are capable
under careful superintendence, Of keep
ing their animals in state Of luxurious
comfort. The horses, however, which
serve native masters. are born to prrga-
tory rather than to paradise. Those in
the hands Of the upper classes suffer
from antiqusted and barbarous systems
of treatment, and are often killed by
mistaken kindness or crippled by bad
training, while those of low degree are
liable to cruel Ill usage, overwork, neg
lect and unrelieved bondage.-John l..
