! A book has been printed in Paris under the
title Nos Actrices Chez Elles.' which is de
voted to illustrations OF French actresses in
their homes. Under each illustration something
Is said about the actress represented In rather
famboyant French, which is accompanied by a
translation into what purports to be English.

SO bewitching her cleverness that every thing Is
pleasingly received from herself.
Nicely minded she likes TO be surrounded
with artful works in order to take some rest
when her songs are over. Sometimes she is
