To the initiated IL was patent months
ago, when Della Fox took her memoir
able trip to Europe, and her role in
"Panjandrum" was intrusted 70 Edna
Wallace, who had just become the wife
of De Wolf Hopper, that Miss Fox
would leave the tall comedian at no very
distant date. This being granted on all
sides, except perhaps by the parties
most interested, the next thing that &C.

second fiddle to person with about one
fourth OF her drawing power and popu-
lerity2 Then there is nothing left for
her but to star. Right, right, old boy,
that's what's she'll DO.
This is a fair sample OF the RialtO
gossip az the time, and il has turned
out 20 have been true. Miss Fox's
brother-in-law, Nat Roth, who is to
manage her tour, has bought the Amer
can rights OF the comic opera or musi-
cal comedy, CIGARETTE; or, Twenty
Eight Days" in which Miss Fox will
star. It is asserted that she will inau.
gurate her tour with a run at the CAST
no, although the unsettled condition Of
the affairs Of that house would indicate
that at least one portion of the plan is
rather defective. Willie Edouin and
his wife, Alice Atherton, produced
"Cairette" in London last year, but it
was by no means 3 success.

The Bostonians seem at last to have
found the opera which experts believe
will prove a second robin Hood" The
work in question is THE Maid OF Ply
mouth" the libretto of which was writ
ten by that remarkably versatile genius,
Clay NJ. Greene. The music is said TO
be remarkably tuneful-'jingly" would
perhaps be better term-althOugh by
no means ambitious. And il is this
feature which bids fair to make 1.-THE
Maid OF Plymouth" popular. The peo-
pie NOWADAYS want either high class
music or gentle melodies. They are
heartily tired of the weak limitations
of Ambrose Thomas and absurd apings
OF WAGNER by men who, musically
considered, are not worthy TO tie the
shoe lStchetS, Of those eminent COM
posers.
CLAW Greene, in bis librettc, too, has
been shrewd enough to supply lots Of
color, ani TO paint IL anything but mild
tints. Although the subject of the
Puritans is a very Old one, he has treat
ed it from q new standpoint and has not
attempted % be didactic or historical.
In this he has shown his usual good
sense. THE Maid Of Plymouth" il
mistake not, was on one occasion, at
least, q very lively bone Of managerial
contention, but 10 seems at last TO have
drifted into the right port, and TO have
been taken 10 hand by people who will
make it q great success ifit but contain
the necessary elements, wb.Uh most
critics believe it does.

Ways of Climbers.

There are many and devious ways
and means of getting into society prac-
ticed nowadays, and it would be inter-
esting to know of all the wriepulling
that has been done by this one and
that one before the requirement of a
recognized position in the world Of
fashion. A curious combination of
circumstances occurred not long ago.
Mr.. A., who was "out of il" leased a
"palatial mansion in Fifth avenue at
an exorbitant reut, which he subleased
to Mrs. B.-who was well established
Tin the wim'-with the understand
ing that she should introduce his
young daughters to society and thereby
throw open the portals of the "beau

Certain fine ladies, however. bad been
told of the transaction, and, forming a
cable, it known to Mrs. B. in a rounda.
bout way manner that 1t was useless
to try to force "those people, upon the
Four Hundred.
The notifying discussion on the
subject, coming, as it was sure to do
to the ears of Mr.. A., made him per
fectly furious, and as the lease had not
been signed he withdrew from the ar
rangement, and Mrs. B., rather than

be made about her change of plans

Why Are Leaves Green!

Attention has been drawn to the fact
that all the world over leaves are of a
green color; but, while the green of
plants and vegetables remains the
same in all latitudes, the colors of
animals vary considerable, according
to the region they inhabit. 1t has
been suggested and partially proved,
l believe) that the green color in
leaves is due to a substance called
chlorophyll, which the leaf structure
absorbs from the atmosphere all the
poison that the breath of man and the
lower animals throw into it. There
fore the Importance of leaf structure
should not be lightly overlooked.

that If DR.. Doak had not taken up so

We have been told that within the

or starlight to mark the going and
coming of any who wished to conceal
their deeds from the vision of all with
whom they might come in contact,
there were three persons of no mean
repute who wended their way to the
Green stillhouse. They took and car

An American Institution.

An Englishman who has now learned
two or three things about America in
general and New York in particular,
admits that he did very amusing and
British thing when he first crossed a
New York ferry. 1t seems that the fer
ryboats of this town are famed abroad
for their size and steadiness, and this
particular Briton had been assured
that he would never know he was
atloat when on one of these boats by
means of any motion perceptible in the
cabin. Remembering all this, the En-
glishman seated himself in one Of the
ferry houses on first coming to the
city and patiently waited until the us
ual American rush for the wharf should
proclaim his arrival at the opposite
shore. No rush occurred, however,
and after several boats had came and
gone the Briton made humiliating dis.
covery that he had been thinking bet
ter of an American institution than il
deserved.

To Many Nice Thing.

A dear little girl, who is unfortuna a.
tely the only child among large cir
Gle of admiring and indulgent relatives,
is of course always loaded down with
presents at Christmas times. Last year,
as usual, there were many gifts for her,
and no one could have been more
delighted than the wee maiden, who
played all day with the new toys, ate
copiously of the French bonbons
and sat up long after her usual bed
time in honor Of the day. Next morn
ng, however, a change had come over
the spirit of her dream. She was cross
and frstful, and finally burst out cry
ing. Inquiry being made as to the
cause of the trouble, she looked up
through mist of tears and lisped out
