Mrs. Solomon Thatcher and Mrs.
Matilda B. Carse, two Chicago members
of the Board of Lady Managers, have
secured permission to use as many as
necessary of the public school houses In
Chicago as dormitorles for visiting
teachers. The great demand for them

for educational meetings and teachers
conventions. One person can stay not
longer than two weeks at charge OF 40

paid In order to become member OF
the association. The money raised by

expenses. Guests must furnish their

charge for the two weeks amounts to
only 81.
An English dramatic critic says that
Bernhardt was so dell 10 hted with her
reception In London this summer that
she intends playing there again before
the end of this year. In that case, he
declares, the Londoners will have had
during 1898 the four greatest actresses
in the world. This supreme quartette,
according 10 the critic in question, con-
sists Of Sarah Bernhard, Eleanora
Duse, Mrs. Bernard Beere and Ada
Rehan. A peculiar classification.
Some one has urged that search be
made in the records Of st. Martin's-in-
the Fields in order to discover the exact
spot where the remains OF Nell Gwynne
were buried. The sympathizers in the
movement want to erect memorial.
They say that she was charitable, beau
tful and witty, which is more than
could be truthfully inscribed on many
tombs.
1t is said In some quarters that the
wearing Of gloves in theatres Is no
longer fashionable. A writer in Vanity
Fair makes the large and heavily
printed programme responsible for the
change. She says: "The expense Of
an evenings entertainment is doubled
by the cost of pair Of gloves. The
handling Of programme covers the
gloves with printers ink, which resiSts
the ordinary processes OF cleaning. The
experienced theatregoer folds his pro-
gramme into the smallest possible COM
pass. Its advertisements are not In
spring, and it's jokes have long since
resounded down the corridors OF time"
At club reception given in Australia
not long ago, the wife of Paul Blouet,
better known as MAX ORell," was
present. 1t was the custom OF the club
that distinguished strangers should rise
for a moment, wherever they might be
sitting, as soon as they were introduced.
Mrs. Blouet's name was announced; so
great was the desire TO see the wife OF
the witty, wise, and wicked French
man, that almost every woman In the
room rose to her feet, and stared her
neighbor in the face to see II she might
be the happy woman. There was gem
eral litter all over the room, and as the
eager ladies fell back in their seats, the
sarcastic President said he "believed
there must be some mistake. Max
0'Rell had but Que wife, and II the 9TH
er ladies would keep their seats, no
doubt she would rise go they could see
her."
Lady Brooke, Of baccarat scandal
fame, has contributed an article to Mr..
Astor's Pau Mall magazine. She writes
on What is Society,"" and has given
some very optimistic views on various
subjects She thinks, at least she says
so, that things were never so interest
ing as to-day, and people were never so
pleasant" She also notes that there is
to-day very probably more that Is artis-
tic in the cottage OF the peasant than
previous century could have shown in
the palace Of prince" Lady
Brooke says q great many
more things about general
topics, very nice things, so that one is
somewhat consoled that she omits to
tell what is society" Lady Brooke
is fsvorite with the Prince OF Wales,
so Mr.. Astor's editor did not return her
manuscript with any rude criticism,
but printed it at once, In splendid type,
especially the name OF the writer.

member of the Societe des Gems de Let
tres, an honor only rarely accorded to
