Quiet and Pleasant. hut just Now She Has
No Time for Her Book.
London. Aug s0.-1t is announced that
Mary Anderson Navarro has given up her
house in Tunbridge Wells and will spend
the fall and winter In London. It was
supposed By her friends that the memoirs
which she alleged to have been writing
for some years would be given to the pub
lie this fall. But her plans are disarranged.
There is not so much talk about her forth
coming book as there is about a dainty
French layette and the possibility OF an adj
dltlonal tie to the domestioity Of the Ma
varro family. Naturally this news has
upset the family circle very much. Mary
Anderson has been wife these ten years.
and there has never before been any talk
such as is heard now by the dowager friends
OF her family. Her life in Tunbridge Wells
has been extremely uneventful. Not for
some years has the once great actress
appeared in public. She has Stunned 30
ciety, given up all acquaintances and has
lived a life OF lndolent placidity in an out

saw her dashlng by on the back of a fleet

she whrled along the road on bicycle.
1t was said that she was not in good health;
that her nervous system was run down and
she saw only members OF her own family
and few close friends. know she
pleaded illness on the day called. but from
her husband l gathered that there was
nothing serious the matter except that
she dreaded publicity. She wanted to be
let alone. She was tired of the glare OF
the footlights and the notorlety that the
stage gave her, She made no visits and re-
celved only a few callers. Her time was
devoted to her health. her home, and a
