RECIosA, LA REGALoNCIrA AND GRACIosA.
KAN" La Regaloncita plays Cupid with
wonderful success, and the two younger
children make poses that are very perfect
pictures indeed. -
La Regaloncita, who now Is only eight
years Of age, gave evidence OF her ability
when scarcely more than An infant. Since
then she has been trained and developed by
her talented mother, Mrs. A. g. Ever,
alone. The ehild's whole heart Is In her
work. These three tots are children OF
genius. In reply to question, What do
you mean to do when you grow upi" Re
galoncita replied, "Be an actress and play
always sad parts" The comic seems TO
have little place in her nature. Ii is all in.
tensity, and even now she is full Of force.
Dancing their mother considers only a
thing OF the time and will not be continued
when the children are grown. She wisely
claims that the exercise is natural to chill
dren, but becomes a strain to maturei
years.
Every morning the children sleep till 10,
then have breakfa and their lessons, for
even wee Preciosa knows her letters in
Spanish and In English and is learning TO
read. Regaloncita writes a wonderful
hand and IL quite an accomplished little
woman apart from her theatrical success.
After lessons they are free TO play till 5,
when they all take a two hours nap and
are bright and fresh for the evenings work.
Mrs. Ever accompanies them wherever
they go and Is herself their caretaker.
At home they are simple, merry children,
like any other healthy little girls, and II
their play Is oftener theater than house it
Is only because we each Of us reproduce
the thing we know. They are very devoted
sisters, and together with the wee brother
Of make as happy group as any one
would wish to know.
They have wonderful powers of imita.
tion, which are of course In part a result of
the training, and making brownies" is a
favorite diversion.
The first triumph that Regaloncita made
was In the scene from king John" when
Prince Arthur begs that his eyes be spared,
and the fact is in itself proof Of the child's
wonderful dramatic instinct AT the time
she spoke little English and learned the
lines only from her mother word by word.
The meaning was translated for her into
Spanish, but the beautiful words them
selves only conveyed sense of sound.
The children are granddaughters of the
late Rev. DR.. Ever Their mother married
cousin of the same name, but having a
South American mother, and 1t is from
their paternal grandmother that they in
herit their Spanish beauty.
