to the scene of her triumphs is very slight.
Mary Anderson was educated in an Ursuline
convent in Louisville. Shd is a devout Cath
Ollie and all through her stage experience
she practiced the duties Of her religion very
faithfully. At II she made her debut as
Juliet in a local theater. Her fame speedily
grew. Her extraordinary beauty has always
had much to do with her successes, but she
| had talent, ambition and versatility. In the
beginning she used to play in one week such
widely different roles as Lady Macbeth, Jul
let, Meg Merrilies, Pauline, Igomar and Gala
tea. In 1888 she went to England and cap
tured the British public, winning a far
greater success than in America. Then came
the failure of her health, her farewell to
the stage, and her marriage to Antonio de
Navarro, a member of the we'll known New
York family by that name. Nothing could
have been more quiet and off hand than the
simple wedding in a small Catholic church
in England.
Mr.. De Navarro took a place in Tunbridge
Wells, for the sake Of his wife's health. From
there they go up to London frequently 1T
is only an hours railroad journey, and they
lead at home the most quiet, contented eX-
istence imaginable. Nothing is needed to
make life at their charming villa on Fern
dale road an ideal of domestic bliss except the
presence of children. There were rumors
after their marriage of their disagreement
and separation. but such reports were as
baseless as they were unkind. Mrs. De Ma
varro has said: 81 don't think anything
could have taken me from my stage life ex-
cept being SO much in love with my husband.
We had been in love for ten years, and !
simply had to let the other things go and
marry him"
Although they are very much Anglicized
Americans now after their long stay In
England, the De Navarros have by no means
abandoned the idea of living In America again
at some time in the future.

STYLES IN
A Perfect sleeve the Keynote OF n
Modirh Costume.

A Perfect sleeve the Keynote of n
Modisb Costume.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Although dressmak-
ers claim that sleeves are growing smaller. 1t
is only at their lower portions that the
change is as yet visible to the naked eye.
Then the newest sleeves, those with an up
per pun and a long cuff that reaches above
the elbow, at the arm more snugly than
formerly. In exaggerated instances, even too
snugly for comfort, but the tops Of sleeves
are as big as ever, and there is a return to
the stirened materials for holding them out,
effects Of most Of them inclining to a broad,
square look.
The old dropping leg o. mutton in one piece
will continue to be worn, however, and a
modish look Is given to these by fitting the
forearm part as tightly as comfort will al
low, and to accomplish this an outside seam
IL often added.
The newest gigots have this seam invari-
ably. and just above the elbow the surplus
fullness of the top is laid in heavy pleats,
which creates at the sides the distinct effect
Of a pun.
ENORMOUS PUFFS.
Indeed, these puff sleeves may be said to
be the stars of the season, and a point re-
marked with the most elegant models was
that whether simulated or not the puff was
placed some inches above the elbow. AT the
shoulder this droops becomingly, but the
lower line encircles the arm with unbroken
evenness, and where the arm is thin or
badly modelled the forearm section needs to
be dlscrestly paddsd.
Cotton batting made thinner by splitting
Is used for this.
To promote the droop at the shoulders
the puff Is often shirred at the top one
inch or more below the armhole seam; this,
or some other device for holding the sleeve
down at this point, is especially necessary
for heavy wool textiles. Where this sleeve
Is silk or velvet It is often shaped at the
wrist into two deep points, which may be
simple, fancy or else inclose a fall of rich
lace.
Others Of a like cut for street wear. of
crepon, serge or any Of the boucle woods so
much worn, have the wrists long and cut
straight and are sometimes made so snug at
this point that they need to be closed with
buttons,
COAT AND JACKET SLEEVES.
The ofd-fashioned bishop sleeve, revived in
the summer, is a prime favorite for the ever
convenient silk blouse. They are also seen
in many of the new French coats and listers,
with the wide band cuff in some rich con-
trasting velvet or fur, but though this Is by
far the more elegant model of the two, a more
popular jacket sleeve Is a great ugly mutton
leg, called a melon sleeve. because the upper
side Is in several lengthwise cores.
These are so sloped at the top that the
sleeve enters the armhole without fullness,
the big gigot bulge shaping out below.
The lengthwise seams are either double
stitched or piped, with the same cloth as the
coat, or else with satin or velvet.
A profuse and fantastic decoration OF lace
and ribbon Is a feature Of many Of the new
evening sleeves.
Flowers are also sometimes used, espec-
ially for diaphanous textiles, small ones be-
Ing woven into garlands which may festoon

The club house is one of the most charming

An adorable model made in this way was
an oval puff three-quarter length of rose
chiffon over white; from top to bottom the
chiffon was caught up in little cascades and
fastened by knots Of fuchias in shading reds.

Something About Mary Anderson and

When Mary Anderson left the stage, says
a London newspaper, Henry Abbey told her
that If she succeeded in giving it up she
would do something greater than she had
yet achieved. Yet, though her career on the
boards was a brilliant one, and though she
retired from them when her fame was at its
highest, the possibility that she may return
