LUCY.

LUCY.
THE MISSES WEBBING.
after royalty had smiled on the Misses
Webbing, their position before society
was forever established, and if anything
could have added to their fame it came
shortly after when Sir John Cowell,
master of the queens household, called
them to Osborne to perform before her
majesty the queen.
About this time a younger sister
Lucy-aged seven, made her debut at
the lord mayors. Within two weeks
Lucy Webbing was known as the pret-
test child in England, and a firm of
London photographers were accumulat-
ing fortune through the sale of her
picture. A story is told that when Mrs.
Burnett was dramatizing ''Fauntleroy"
she strolled into the photographers shop
and saw the child's picture on the wall.
'.That is the child want for 'Fauntle-
roy,'" she said, but she was informed
that the child belonged to private fam
lily. Some time after this, however,
while the play was running, another
child was needed, and the managers
made Lucy an offer, and she called on
Mrs. Burnett to see if she was satisfac-
tory. Mrs. Burnett was standing in her
parlor talking to Wilson Barrett when
the child entered. ''My ideall' she ex-
claimed. "Child, you are the one I
wanted first" And Lucy played "Faun-
tleroy" 500 times before Mrs. Burnett
wrote. s'Nixey" for her, and lost nearly
GO, 900 in four weeks of matinees. Peo-
Pile went to see Lucy pour out tea in the
play, but the play was wretched and
failed to draw as well as the tea.

The Demand for Hen Fruit.

The chicken industry is getting to be
almost as important as stock growing.
A A then ranch" the largest in the world,
now fourishes on an island in Belling-
ham bay, Puget sound, and Canada is
doing an egg business that can simply
be described as enormous in the one
single item of exports from New Bruins
wick, Prince Edward island, and Nova
Scotia to the United States. Prince Ed
ward Island has shipped to Boston over
$40, 900 dozens by one steamship line
alone, which is greatly in excess of the to-
tai shipments last year, and has also sent
immense quantities by other steamship
routes and by rail to the United States.
Heavy shipments have also been made
to England from Ontario and Quebec.
For some reason prices have run very
high lately, and Prince Edward Island
egg raisers have been making money.

The new aspirant's name is Marguerite
Merington, and she is teacher in the
New York city normal school. She was
born in England, but was brought to
America when very young. Her tastes
have always been more or less literary,
and she has contributed occasional verses
to the magazines for several years back,
but ''Letterblair," play which she
wrote for e. II. Sothern, and which that
actor recently successfully produced, is
her first particularly ambitious effort.
Miss Merington has an expressive and
very intellectual face, and is well known
as an ardent worker in many women or
ranizations.
