salary of $500 per week. The strain
of acting in Sardou's drama was so
severe that in thort time the actress
was taken with a long illness. Some
time after the death of her first hus-
band Mrs. Beere married the gentle
man whose name she now bears. The
actress is said to possess a melo-

London is full Of artistic treasures and
knick-knacks from every quarter of

Although the late Daniel Dougherty
was for at least thirty years an orator
of high repute, he never quite mas
tered the anticipatory stage fright
that came upon him as the time TO
make public speech approached. He
charmed distinguished company at
one of the Felloweraft dinners after
Bishop Potter, MIR. Cleveland and
other less notable persons had spoken,
but those who heard did not know
that ten minutes before Mr.. Dougherty
began to speak he had been inter
cepted in an attempt to escape from
the room. He confessed then and
there that he was ON the verge Of
panic and only by the most urgent per-
suasion could he be prevailed upon TO
speak. Once upon his feet, however,
his fright was gone, and apt words
came promptly to his tongue. lie had

One of the Startling Novelties of
Fashions Freaks
Right true it is that this has been
season of remarkable novelties in wear
ing apparel. Many conspicuous changes
in fashion have come about. And now,
according to the latest edict of fashion
from Paris and London, the robe de
mutt, or, to call it by its plain English
name, the nightdress, has got to go.
Its place is to be taken by pyjamas,
those nondescript garments consisting
of very loose trousers and jacket, the
use of which at night has hitherto been
restricted to the masculine sex.
The new pYjamas for feminine wear
are very dainty and beautiful contriy-
ances, trimmed with lots of ribbons and
laces Far from diminishing the at
