the thousands of tons of meteoric

for many years the reigning prima
donna of Europe, declined in popular
ity with the advance of age and died
in retirement peacefully and quietly.
Trilby, on the contrary leaped to
celebrity at bound, blazed forth as a
star of the first magnitude and was
suddenly eXtinguished when the mag

failed to act. So it was with the other
great vocalists. Their lives have been
written, even to the .minutest detail

was w, rid wide, but who now is well
nigh forgotten, offers in her career a
striking resemblance to that of Trilby
In fact, as far as her professional life is
concerned, Ann Riviere, afterward
Lady Henry Bishop, then Nine. Anna
Bishop and at last Mrs. Meyer Schultz,
stands out in bold relief as the only
artist from whose life it was possible
to incarnate the eccentric but delight
full heroine - Maurier's wonderful
romance. OF e, the story previous
to her public arance as a singer is
purely magma. and the product of
the brain of Du Maurier. Ann Riviere
never was an artists model, never wore
a soldiers coat, never knocked about
the streets of Paris as a waif and stray,
but was born and bred lady and
maintained through life the respect and
love of all who knew her. Her father,
a musician Of talent, was of good de-
scent, being scion Of the ancient and
noble French family De Crecy, who
had emigrated to England during the
reign of terror in the first French revo-
luton. She was we'll brought up and
well taught, and at an early age was

Ben Bolt?" held in the vocal repertory
of Trilby O'Ferrall. The married life of
Sir Henry and Lady Bishop was trou-
bled always by the ambition of her
ladyship, who insisted upon being a
prima donna, while her husband, a
musician of vast experience, always de-
clared that, although she had a voice,
she had neither talent nor aptitude for
that position.

are In dilemma as to what steps they

primitive Romans and Sabines, but
thus far no Sabine women have been

Under these circumstances the head
men of the Pamunkey tribe have
opened negotiations with the eastern
band of Cherokee Indians in the ada

see, Georgia and Alabama to procure
brides for their unmarried sons and
husbands for their unmarried daugh-
ters. The male Pamunkeys understand
the eastern Cherokee women to be ex-
ceptionally pretty, modest and sensible,
and the female Pamunkeys regard the
eastern Cherokee braves as handsome,
loyal and Industrious, calculated to
make model husbands. Correspondence
was begun about a year ago with the
chiefs of the eastern Cherokees as the
result of repeated conferences on the
subject btween representatives. of the

This plight of the Pamunkeys and

the fact that the members of the tribe

once powerful aboriginal confederacy

forth. But there was a common link
to bind them together. To single him
self out from all other Norwood build
ers the landlord had devised and laid
out common lawn tennis ground,
which stretched behind the houses with
taut-stretched net, green close-cropped
sward, and widespread whitewashed
lines. Hither in search OF that hard
exercise which is as necessary as air
or food to the English temperament,
came young Hay Denver when released
from the toll OF the city; hither, too,
came DIR. Walker and his two fair
daughters, Clara and Ida, and hither
also, champions of the lawn, came the
short-skirted, muscular widow and her
athletic nephew. Ere the summer was
gone they knew each other in this quiet
nook as they might not have done after
years of a SITTER and more formal ac-
quaintance.

that of his neighbor. 1t is true that
they had not much in common, but that
is sometimes an aid rather than a bar
to friendship. Each had been an en-
thusiast in his profession, and had re-
tanned all his interest in 1t. The doctor
still read from cover to cover his Ian

himself into an alternate state of exal-
