Ellie Murphy In the Irish village Is
another beauty. though Of a different
type than Esther. When Lady Aberdeen
brought over her fourteen Irish girls she
stouuy refused to have any who were
not types Of Irish beauty. and the result
is that in the Irish village she has col
lected fourteen Of tho bonniest Irish
maidens that ever caught sight Of the
Barney stone, or ever sang a song across
the lakes Of Killarney. They are Maria
Connely. Kate Barry, and Johannah
Doughterty. from the dairy school in
Cork; Maggie Dennehy, the knitter;
Elenor Ahearn, the lace maker; Annie
Gnlsbee. the Donegal spinner; Bridget
Flynn and Kate Kelliday, the crotchet-
makers; and Miss Cosgrove, Miss Dease
Miss Brazil, Miss Robinson, Miss Keane,
Miss Charleton, Miss Mead and several
Of the ONeills Of Tyrone.
But the belle Of them all is Ellie Muir
ply. And she is such a fine singer that
there are always people stopping to hear
the strains Of Eileen Allana and killa--
new as Miss Murphy trills them while
turning out Limerick lace by the yard.
But if the young bridegrooms flnd the
charms Of Esther or Ellie Murphy very
seductive, that seduction is not greater
than the fascination to which the talent

across subject the brides.

CHICAGO, ILL, May l6.-There are a
great many people who would visit the
Worlds Fair at Chicago at once, If they
could know to a certainty just what such
a visit would cost
But such conflicting rumors are sent
OUT From one source you hear that the
cost Of living now I'm Chicago is enor-
nous, colossal, demonstrating. From
another source, you hear that it is really
Vry cheap-that arrangements have been
made so that people can travel and I'VE
in the West at rates as low as travelling
and living on the continent.
So many people are hesitating about
coming simply because they do not know
whether they can afford it or not. II they
could find out just what IL would cost they
could make their arrangements TO come
ana live within a prescribed sum. or
they might even add 20 it. If they could
know that such addition would be rea-
sonably necessary.
Women, especially. are cautious In
starting upon journey, whereof the eX-
pense may be as the descent Of Avernus.
Thus IL comes about that very many
worthy women and women whom Ameri-
cans would be glad 10 see mingling with
representative foreigners, are stranded
at home. through sheer timidity Of ven
tvring upon the unknown
Now the question of cost at the Worlds
Fair is not an uncertain or a shifting
one. 1t is very definite thing. II can
be outlined to a nicely for the benefit Of
all who propose to take the trip. Care-
full calculator can compute the cost al
most to a dollar. and can arrive far more
nearly at what the melancholy Mr. Man
til,ni called the demnition total" than
though the trip were TO be made TO
Europe, or even TO Newport, or Saratoga,
or to any other Of the popular places Of
sojourn.
The railroad fare is usually a fixed
figure. But by getting excursion rates
this is somewhat reduced from the
regular fare. Just how much the re-
duction will be can only be ascertained
by inquiring at the railroad office of the
company Possibly the company will
make special rates for a party Of twenty

quaint and as different from the rest or
the exhibition as though IL We're no part
of IL. There are thirteen villages upon
it. and each village is as complete as II
10 had been brought directly from the
place which it represents without even
undergoing change of scene. All along
the Midway Plaisance bridal couples are
seen wandering throughout the day and
as late into the night as the guard will
permit. And early the next morning they
are AT 90 again. still sightseeing and still
enjoying.
And just here comes in the funny part
Of some OF tho bride-and-groom episodes.
The Midway Plaisance is fun of very
interesting and very attractive women
who inhabit the villages and sometimes
the young bridegrooms are attracted by
their charms more than is agreeable 10
the feelings Of the brides.
In the Turkish village there is a girl
who was sent here because she was the
fairest girl in Bethlehem, the sacred city
of Palestine. Her name is Esther and
she is known as "the daughter Of Ha-
milli." Esther is as lovely as the day
and she dresses In the picturesque cos
tune worn by the natives Of Judea. Her
hair is piled high on the top OF her head
and there il is covered by a great head
dress of snOW-White linen that falls TO her
feet II IS just such a head-dress as
Mrs. George Gould wore I'm one OF Mr..
Daly's plays when she was Miss Edith
Kingdom and was part and parcel OF
DAYS stock company. And it is said
that IL was I'm this costume that the
young mulu-mllllonaire saw her and was
charmed by her beauty.
Esther. the daughter Of Hamilli, is also
an actress, and she is TO appear in the
Turkish theatre and play every day all
summer. When the bridal couples wander
through the Midway Plaisance, and when
the young bridegrooms see Easter In
their visit 10 the Turkish village, they
are charmed past all concealment and
rave over the rich olive In her cheeks
and the soft, wondering look In her eyes.
The brides do not always relish this ad-
miration, and II is noticed by everyone
that the visit TO the Turkish village is
made shorter than TO the others.
