IS AN ACTRESS FOR FUN.
Rich California Girl Who Acts for Love of the
 Theater.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Many young women would be overjoyed
 if they could Ego on the tage" under the
 same circumstances as those of Miss Maud
 Northam, the pretty daughter of R. J. Northam, Pacific coast millionaire. MT.
 Northam is one of the very wealthy men of California and has enormous ranches near Los Angeles, where he and his family
 spend much of their time. One of these adjoins that of Mime. Modjeska, and an in- timacy sprang up between the actress and
 the Northams.
 The young girl preached the subject of
 her desire to go on the stage, and 1t was
 discussed between [ Mime. Modjeska and Miss Northams family. Miss Northam frankly avowed with reprehensible slangi-
 ness that she "grew deadly tired of the
 society act, and wanted to do some work,
 Not hard york; of course" So, in spite
 of the irate fathers objections, she joined
 the Modjeska company and was given a
 minor part to play. She is drawing O.
 salary which about pays for her gloves and
 bonbons and putting up at swell hotels.
 Miss Northam is treated by Mime. Mods
 jeska and her husband almost as an adopt. ed child for the tour, and travels with them more as one of their own immediate party than as a member of the company. Tt it were not that my parents knew l Mime.

 gets over that by giving my mother plenty which, of course, she sends to me. Perhaps he will relent when I do somes thing on the stage worthy of good newspas per notices.

upon the woman of Mars. and this is what he determines:
 M. Carrot, for such is his name, decides that the Mars woman will be eighteen feet in height. He bases his judgment upon the many scientific works that have been written about Mars inhabitants and upon observations which he has made. In sup port of this, his first and most positive statement regarding the Mars women, he cites the vegetation visible upon Mars. He says the trees are tall and straight, an infallible sign of tall women (quoting the Indians of the central forests in support of this theory) and the fact that the trees grow close and luxuriantly where women are big.
 Women this strange scientist asserts, grow near to nature and follow the vege- tation as men cannot. Though he adds that tho men of Mars are necessarily tall, springing from such parentage. This fact of superior height in our neighbors has never been disputed
 M Carrot says that the women of Mars

the little storiette-for 1t can scarce be dig}
 nified by a more ambitious title-is laid in
 France, and there is a fanciful gaiety and dash and spirit about the work strongly
 characteristic of the old romantic, chival-
 rous days in that sunny land. If one seeks

 will possibly disappoint, though the novel
 originality of the basis of the story will
 surely please. If character drawing Is de-
 manded as a positive requisite, then there may be disappointment again. Yet "To- ranne' is bewitching and fascinating, and she captures the heart of the reader by
 her vigour and esprit For "Foranne' was very tall, and fashioned both for grace and strength. Her shoulders had the sweep of a falcons wings, when 1t poises in mid- air. ere dropping on the quarry, and she
 moved joyously, with an undergoing of pride in her long gait" But if one cares for the unmistakable stamp of talent in q piece of writing, and a style that is indiI vidual and inventive, and full of vivacity and grace, then this little book will charm and delight. It Is written, as in most of her work, with intensity and great earnestness, and her most decided characteristic is her dainty imagery which is a rare and pres cious possession. Her apt and vivid word | pictures presented with glowing fervou | gives great charm to the work. She has many quaint conceits, is her brief descrip- l tive bits which are constant and delight- 1 full stimulant to the reader wearied with
 commonplace talk in very commonplace

PICTURE
A WOMAN OF

A great deal has been said about the in- .habitants of the near by world which we are trying so hard to speak" and much has been written about the men that prob ably live there, but has any one ever taken the trouble to fathom the woman of Mars and find out what her qualities and peculi- arities may be?

 In the matter of dress his deductions are still more startling. The women of Mars dress in gold and silver, he says. dress of cloth-of-gold, with suns in pure gold scattered over it. would be simply an after

 But thfS is diverging from the fascinat- ing woman question!
 What then is the consensus of opinion
The age-herald., 1898-02-27

concerning the women of Mars. as deduct ed by M Carot from his own observations, that the women are very tall; second, that they are marvellously innocent and beau tiful; and lastly, that they dress with great magnificence. The latter-day theories that the planet cannot be inhabitated is secuted by this Frenchman.
 He says that it is probable that the peo- pie of Mars have much greater knowledge than we, though they are less educated. Had they been educated equal to us they would not be answering the many signals sent to them, which they have seen, but doubtless lack the facilities for reply. They need electricity, instruments and education before they can answer.
 The dweller in the world can believe, then, that standing upon planet not so very far away is beautiful woman, eigh- cen feet tall, looking earthward with long, ing eyes, but utterly powerless to bespeak the people who are signalling to her every night-as countless scientists are busy do- ing.

noon costume for a woman of Mars, one of her lounging dresses, suitable for a stroll in the woods and on the hills of the planet.
 Gold, Carrot says, as do most astronomers, is to be found in great quantities in Mars, and naturally the women would wear a great deal of 1t.
 The gold theory of the neighboring planet was first brought forward by an astrono- mer of the beginning of the century, who declared that, even with his crude micro scopic possibilities, he could detect the glittering presence of gold. He, too, in one of his essays, brought forward the theory of the magnificent dressing possible to the women of Mars and suggested that noth- ing on earth could ever equal 1t.
 It was this same theorist who suggested that our present day geographies were at fault, and that when g. correct geography was made it would show a marvellous proximity to Mars. and he urged the the ory that, after all, the northwest passage might be a solution of the difficulty. He
