Two of the most interesting widows
in New York are Mrs. Ulysses Grant,
wife of the great northern leader, and
Mrs Jefferson Davis, wife OF the presi-
dent of the confederate states. Mrs.
Grant owns a magnificent home on the
fashionable west side, near Riverside
park. The halls, parlors and libraries
are filled with reminders of the dis
tinguished general. There are battle
pictures hung with tattered old flags,
busts in bronze and marble and wonder
full gifts from all sorts and conditions
of people.
Mrs. Davis lives with her daughter.
Miss Winnie Davis, at one OF the fash
| ionable hotels on 5th avenue. Here she
receives with old-fashioned southern
hospitality the flower OF northern and
southern chivalry. 1t seems strange
that these two women, whom the war
left in such widely different spheres,
one the wife of the conquerer, the other
the wife of the conquered, should come
after long years from the west and the
south to live in New York. Strangest
of all is the fact that they are warm
personal friends and spend much OF
their time together.

as familiar with their qualities as your
humble servant, but / will make bold
enough to ask what sermon could bet

toral comedy l am now presenting?
The scene Is laid of the picturesque
coast of Maine, near Bar Harbor. A no.
BILE fellow stiles his affection for the
woman he adores and goes off to the
war TO serve his country in order that
the younger brother he loves, who was
also smitten with her charms, may win
her. When that brother does win her,
he surrenders his share of the farm 10
the two people he loves best on earth.
In time the younger brother, now mas
ter of "Shore Acres" listens to the
voice of the tempter, the real estate
Spectator, and becomes money mad.
Despite the protests OF the self-sacri-
ficing brother, he enters into the
schemes of land improvement com
pany and cuts up the homestead into
village lots, after first mortgaging the
farm to get the necessary funds to con-
struct cottages. He even sacrifices the
plot of ground which constitutes his
mothers last resting place. He has no
room for sentiment" That superfiu-
Gus feeling must give way to the Mo-
loch greed. The boom" which has
struck the coast is to make him rich
beyond the dreams of avarice. He

In plays of this nature, and indeed In

eminently necessary. A farm should

There should be barn, pump. wa

should be country kitchen, with stove

country cooking and real food
