Fanny Kemb1e,s asa.s., ;,

An amusing story is told of Fanny
Kemble, whose favorite summer resort
was Lennox Mass The first season
she visited the charming New Eng
gland town she employed a self-re-
speeding villager. who had comfort
able turnout, to drive her about. He,
feeling it to be his duty to make the
drive as entertaining as possible. began
to call her attention to the beauty OF
the scenery-which she wished to er-

unable to stand it any longer, said, in
the high-tragedy -, 4er somewhat Pc
culiar to her: -se engaged you tC
drive for me, sir. not to talk" The
driver ceased talking, pursed up his
lips, and in all their subsequent drives
his only remarks We're such as he found
necessary to address to his horses Al
the end of the season he handed in his
bill for the summer services. Running
her eye down its awkward columns, she
paused at an item that she did not

not comprehend it," With equal gray
ity he replied. Sass, So. I don't often
take 1t, but when I do I charge" She
paid the bill without comment, and
continued to employ the same driver
during the many summers she passed
there.-Chicago Times Herald.

college life, says lie Baron r. Briggs,
Dean of Harvard College, in the Janu-
airy Atlantic As 1 have said else
where, many parents regard college
as far less serious in it's demands than
school or business, as a place of de-
lightful responsibility, a sort of four
years, breathing space wherein a youth
may at once cultivate and disport him

boys" is cover, Lot merely for the
|thoughtless exuberance of lively young
animals, but for selfishness, thickness,
cruelty, and even vice. I wonder at
the recklessness with which respectable
men talk of wild oats as a normal
and on the whole an attractive attri-
butte of youth; for the wild oats theory
of al young mans life, when seen with
out its .glamor, may mean awful physi-
cal peril, disingenuous relations with
father and mother, dishonor to some
girl, as yet perhaps unknown, who is
going to be his wife. Those who have
seen the unhappiness that such disin-
genucusness brings can never forget it..

A Woanan,s. Hotel.

1t is possible that woman's- hotel
may be established in Boston, founded
on the same lines as the now famous
Mills hotels for Workingnen in New
York.
Mrs. William Lee, we'll known in
Back Bay circles, is at the head OF the
movement. Speaking of the matter,
Mrs. Lee says:S
My suggestion is that communica-
ton be had with the individuals con-
templating the woman's hotel in New
York. and that committee of one or
more from the woman's club house cor
poration go to New York and investi-
gate this and Mr. Mills system
This project will appeal to many
business men and capitalists who are
another business building, when SO
many are now SO poorly occupied, and
Who feel that to advance money for
more would be a losing investment
Such club house and building also
appeals to the women that have not as
yet been interested-the women fol
whom the hotel is intended. Undoubt-
eddy several friends would pool their
money, and thus obtain shares, each
having an individual interest.
s.Such q hote8sprovides for the out-of-
town club members the promised ae-
commodations, and will give a club
house in the portion of the building sci
apart for that purpose of which New
England women may justly be proud

A PATRON SAINT.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Honors the
business Women of Chicago.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, club leader and
society light, never did a brighter act
in her whole Illuminated life than when
she threw open the portals of her pal
ace the other night and greeted as her
guests hundreds of the pretty type
writer girls of Chicago. With fuac-
ton that would have f1attered her dear
four hundred friends she entertained
these self supporting young women OF
the National Stenographers Associa-
ton, which at her instigation was or
ganized during the Worlds Fair, and
has since received her friendly and
financial support This one gracious
act of woman honored the world over
did more to break down the false social
barrier of wealth, and to inspire in the
woman who works the belief that worth
may always win, than all the cut-and-
dried problem papers that were ever
mumbled from a club platform.
And there's another chapter to this
charming little story of real life. In
spired by such patronage these arnbi-
tious maidens are about to embark IN

Chicago a Business Woman's Club

Sidney Lees "shakespeares-1s It :
Fine Work.

A certain captious critic who has
been complaining for years that he can
find no modern biography of Shakes
peare that is to him satisfactory in ev-
cry respect was asked the other day
what objection could he make to Sid
ney Lees sketch of the poet, published
in the English Dictionary of National
Biography, and now about to be repub-
lished separately in volume form great
ly enlarged. rs not Lees account OF
Shakespeare, his life, his plays and his
poetry" asked his friend, regarded as
one of the finest pieces of biographical
work that has been done In recent
years?"
Quite true returned the critic,
Lees biography must be acknowledge
ed to be wholly admirable, but-the in
evitable butt is faulty in two par
ticulars. Honorable mention is made
by him of several American scholars
who have made an especial study of
the text, but Justin Winsor Is not al
luded to. Surely he has at some time
seen Winsor's Biography of the Origi-
nal Quartos and Folios, which of all
the contributions to the literature Of
Shakespearean photography is the
most suggestive. interesting and in
trinsicaMy valuable.
Second, why should he have said
that there is in existence copy of the
first folio edition of Shakespeare's
plays dated 1922 instead of 1923, ref
erence being made, of course, to the
copy now in the Lenox Library, which
was purchased by James Lenox in
1850. Though he probably had in mind
when he wrote the allusion to the copy
in Bohn's edition of Lowndes, and,
though DR.. Ingleby had theory that
the book was partly printed in 1922,
with a title bearing that date, all per-
sons in England and America. who
pretend to have any knowledge of bibli-
ography are satisfied that the date in
the Lenox copy is not genuine, the
second q having been skillfully altered
from the original g. New York

| insects, spiders and related creatures,
are aware that they are incased by a
hard, unyielding integument. Increase
of size is permissible only when the
skin is shed, and one that has been
newly formed beneath expands to the
requisite degree This is process con-
stantly occurring in nature, and ever
/ excites interest in the beholder. When
a large spider, three inches long, throws
off the old integument it is a thrilling
sight. In the present case, the taran-

! for some days, condition frequently
preceding this process among insects,
and one morning she was found lying
upon her back and apparently dead, but

She lay thus until about 1915 o'clock,
when the rustling her movements made
excited attention. The old skin was
then ruptured about the thorax in such
a manner that the top could be removed
entire, and through this opening the
giant spider was literally working out
of her old skin. This was accomplished
by the aid of the eight legs and the

still greater size. She came North in

under his care one skin was shed, and

increase in size attendant upon moult-
ling may be gained by comparing the
dimensions of the dorsal piece of the

the one shed recently. The first meas
