over herself SO as not to lose touch
with her audience. For instance, if
one is playing a crying part it must
not be overdone. A crying woman is
not a beautiful object to look upon,
and when one has to cry upon the
stage the actress must be conscious
enough of her surroundings to pull
herself together at the proper time so
as not to tire the audience with a sur
felt of tears and sobs.
How many plays have you in your
repertoire?'
Il have nine. They are strong
dramas, farce comedies and comedy
dramas, and l play different piece at
every performance.
Have you ever played in Wheeling
before?"
"Oh, yes, several time, but never at
popular prices | have always played
at the very best theatres all over the
country at high prices
This is your first season at cheap
prices, is it not?'
Yes, sir, and my company is just as
good as it was when / charged Que
dollar a seat"
Does it pay to play at popular
prices?"
Indeed it does, as there are a great
number of people who like 20 see me
act at every performance, and these
prices give them that opportunity to
come, consequently we play to crowded
houses"

and diamonds, turquoise and diamonds
or, as I'm one case. a glowing ruby. A
southern girl who is here is. as far as
chains are concerned, very much en-
gagged to young man who means TO
get as near TO Lee as he can and who
expects to vote for him when he is put
up for president. On the third finger OF
her left hand-that finger that has
vein which connects with the heart--she
wears beautiful pink pearl set about
with diamonds. That means II she
sheds single tear-and pearls signify
tears-they are to be tears OF gladness.
Around her neck is a very thin gold
chain, and on this is hung a heart of
diamonds. or course this opens, and on
the inside are-well. you might guess--a
photograph and lock of hair. On her
wrist Is chain bracelet in which are
set small rubies, and engraved about
them in curious letters Is the wise
warning. Fool, not to know love en-
dures no tie!" In return for these pret-
ty trinkets she letters her sweetheart
with the heavy chain bracelet, worn on
the upper part Of his arm and suffi-
GENTLY tight not TO fall below the ell
bow. With cunning taste, she has chosen'
that il shall be without "a jewel except

enough to say she hopes every living

pearls or innumerable gold chains, to
which are attached quaint diamond
pendants. The Frenchwoman sees the
great advantage OF the stock. She ar
ranges the ribbon in very soft folds-I
say ribbon, but Ii may be silk or MULE
or silk or muslin or whatever she
pieases-and then she has a fiaring bow
just under her chin that gives breadth
to her shoulders and brings out the dim
pie in the chin and the whiteness of her
teeth. You know how thin Sarah Bern
hardt used TO be? Well, she always
went decollete, but she knew how to
manage IL all so that the bones were
entirely forgotten.
The saddest sight I ever saw in the
way of necks was that OF the thin.
scraggy old ladies at the queens draw
ing room. You know they must go de-
collete. In her young days the queen
had beautiful neck and shoulders. and
she presumes that all English women
follow her example in this as I'm every
other respect AS the queen Is short
she wears feathers to add to her height.
and these she forces every other woman
to weae. Hence If woman is seven feet
high she is forced by order of the queen
to make herself look eight feet by the
stiff plumes on the top of her coiffure.
Many a mother who bushes to think
that her own baby sees her bones has to
exhibit them in all their awfulness to
the British public or else not be pre-
sented. but no self respecting English
woman wants to omit this honor.
Do you remember the story OF the old
scotchwoman who got the better Of the
queen? She belonged to the Douglas
family. and they are credited with hav-
Ing wills quite as strong as the Guelphs.
