ELLEN TERRY's HOME LIFE.
She is Born Hostess with a Knack
for Making Guests Happy.


Miss Terry's life is always quiet one,
both at Barkston Gardens and at Win
cnelsea; but of course, it is especially
quiet and regular in the country where
It is undisturbed by rehearsals or gave
tleS out even In town she rarely consents
TO pc present at an evening reception,
usually. preferring to go straight home
after the play. She is not abroad early
IN the morning; indeed she does not Of
ten make her appearance much before
midday
+, But she is not asleep during all the
hours that she is invisible, and passing
her door, you may hear her giving orders
to her servants or debating her CORES
pondence, She fully appreciates, how
bodily rest, and her breakfast is taken,
and her letters attended to, in bed.
When she. appears at Towers cottage
she she generally proposes a drive. She
Rye-"red rooted Rye" as it is called
the neighboring village, which much re-
sembles in the distance, the picturesque
German town of Nuremberg There she
does her marketing, for she is an admir-
able housekeeper, and takes genuine
pleasure in all the little trif1es connected
with this important business
Moreover, she has one faculty which
is missing in many otherwise excellent
housekeeperS, the art of noticing and re-
Numbering the small likes and dislikes
of her friends. If she has ever heard you
express a fancy for any particular dish,
she seems to make a mental note of it
and you will be sure to have it if you
dine or stay with her. She is born
all her guests happy, for she leaves them
perfect liberty, while bestowing every
care upon their comfort.-Boston Post.
THE HOME OF THE LEAGUE.
AS in marriage, if new club success
fully weathers it's first year its hopes
of perpetuity are established The Pro-
fessional Woman's league has passed
this test. From time to time, to be sure,
it has seemed to be in serious throesS
and interested spectators sat around
waiting for divorce or separation. On
the contrary this club of stage women
has successfully accomplished what num-
bers of women have essayed to do and
failed.
1t has home. 1t has taken house
in the Long Acre and fitted it up in a
sweet simple and home-like manner. 1t
is pretty to see the womanly delight OF
it's members, many of whom have scarce
ly more home life than nomads, in the
attractive furniture, the soft-toned Jap,
anese rugs and the evidences of graceful
refined taste.
That side of the Professional Woman's
league that is best worth seeing is not
the actress side, but that of the woman
1t is the actress, however, that has re-
| ceived public attention. This has been a
hard year for the stage. No one will
ever know the leg1ons of women who
would have been left stranded and friend
! thoughtless consideration of this club.
Through it they have received food, shell
ter and work. 1t is not, however, in
this material support that the best re-
suits of the Womans Professional league
! is seen. Under its stimulus the actress
by taking up wider interests has ceased
to be so absolutely a class apart. The
impetus for self improvement, the awak-
ening to a new sense of things and the
| interest now felt in matters moral and
spiritual are evidences of the healthful
controlling influences of the league. The
| outward signs of these are the well fitted
up class rooms, in each of which con-
splcuously hangs the league covenant of
charity and mutual help, and in the sue
cessive subjects of public interest which
are formally discussed.
No less conspicuous than these has
been the clever financing that has made
all this possible and kept the league
treasury free from debt. The Woman's
Professional league has much to be
thankful for that its fortunes have fallen
into firm. wise. self-sacrificing hands,
