a direct descendant of hers, which will,
OF course, unite the stage and roy
atty even closer than ever. The
other things were two quilts-one made
in England, the other here. The English
one had embroidered in the center the
picture of a church with notwithstanding
graveyard about it, and all around it were
embroidered the names of great English
actors who had crossed over the silent river;
then every actor of any standing IN Eng
land had contributed an autograph The
American quilt had the names OF all tho
American actors, and had been made by a
young woman as she Travelled through the
country. To me these three things were
more representative Of the stage than any
thing that was there.
THE MOST POPULAR ACTORS.
By the by, what farce that voting was.
A woman whom New York hardly knows
was voted the most popular actress, while
everybody who came to the fair was crowd
ing to see Georgia CaYvan. A man whose
existence outside of farce comedy is I'M
known to the general public got the prize
for popularity, with Edwin Booth second.
II had been the actors | would have been
ashamed of that. But voting at fair, like
most voting, Is after all, a question OF
money. Whether anybody thinks that
Georgia Cavyan is the best actress in New
York or not is a matter Of no impor lance,
but that she is the most popular
actress cannot be denied. Women
and men both like her. and that is a great
deal to say for u woman. And the reason
of it, Well, she is charming aud pleasant
10 her ways, and because she is well-bred
she is as polite to the gushing school girl as
she is to the most intelligent critic. have
heard women envy actresses their beautiful
gowns. / have never heard woman say
anything of this sort about Georgia Cay
van; instead, on first night you heard
them whisper to one another: II do hope
Miss Cayvan will have on pretty frock;
always like to see her i'll one" When
women say that of another woman, she has
the Angel Gabriel.
sPOTTING THE ACTRESSES.
1t was funny at that fair to hear outsiders
trying to find out who the actresses were.
Clara Louise Kellogg was spotted by a
knowing youth as Patti, and an enormous
crowd surged In her direction. A perfectly
innocent young womau--that is, innocent
as far as any ability to act is concerned
WIS declared to be Nine. Bernhardt, while
blondes and brunettes, old and young. had
the honor of being described as "Auut
Louisa Eldridge" A woman asked mo,
"Where are the beautiful actresses" And
l said to her, "Where is the philosophers
stone" The two prett1est actresses at the
fair were Georgia Cayvan and Maud Harri-
son; the one absolutely beautiful girl was
Olive Chamberlain, who, standing by her
mother, reminded one that she came from a
family where beauty was the rule and not
the exception. ' Or - +t.
THE IDEAL COUNTRY PLACE.
Have you found place where you are
going this summer! Have you found q spot
where You are to get country milk and
sweet butter, and rest, and come home feel

and asked me If l would tell him of some
such place. | don't know of any; but IL
did | should certainly go there myself, and
not tell any body about it. The ideal country
place exists only in the imagination OF the
novel writer's, and if you want rest and re-
freshment the best thing for you to do is to
stay at home. At home you can meander
around lightly CARRIED; you can get what
ever fruit you want, and don't have TO battle
in wash basin; the newspaper is not three
days old, aud when there is any air
it is just as likely, to be in New
York as not; and when it is dread
fully hot it is gong tp, be hot all over
the country. New York is a good enough
place for most people, even in summer
time. II is never as hot ss the place where
politicians, mean men aud tiresome women
will spend their hereafter. And If you know
how to enjoy yourself, you can do it here
with the Thermometer running up just as
high as ever it wants to go; but you have
got TO learn the art of living in hot weather
You have got to learn that cool temper
makes a cool body; that drink of some
thing every twenty minutes only makes you
more thirsty; that the food suitable for win.

want to look nice, you don't want TO sell
your soul to your clothes. si.r
