with strong literary turn OF mind,

a man OF note in literary circles.
Always OF a rather delicate constitu-

would be beneficial, which it was. as
he improved steadily in health until at

and typhoid fever last February. After
a prolonged siege he, was deemed well

THE MEDDLING HABIT.
to 1t as They Are Generally
Said to Be:

From time immcmorial the mother
in-law has been an object of reproack,
says the American Queen. 1t is in
frequent that one pauses to inquire
where, why or how she first earned her
unenviable reputation as disagreeable
and Objectionable person, and we fear
the inquiry would be futile and profit
less.
How many of the mothers-in-law of
our immediate acquaintance deserve
the reputation with which they ara uni
versally accredited? Their chief fault
(Which varies, according to all t"adi-
tion) is their persistent inclination to
steer and rule the private and domestic
affairs of their married sons and
daughters. That this meddlesome spir-
it exists, and in many instances is car
ried too far, nobody can deny-in-
stances are constantly exhibited, usual
ly more glaring in the early stages of
young married life.
OF course, the explanation of this is
natural and eXcusable. The mother,
who for years has been in close sym
pathy with the son or daughter, and has
known and gratified each wish and de-
sire instantly, is suddenly called upon
to give up every claim. This is a SUI
perhuman task, and it is not remark
able that for the first few months she
finds it an impossible one. 1t is given
to but few women to keep eyes and
ears and mouth shut when they want
most to open them.

Craigie, author of the successful play,
'"The Ambassador" and the writer of
many other dramas.
Mrs. Craigie began playwriting
some years ago and won success
from the start. The last two years she
has devoted herself to it entirely. and
has now reached that delightful stage
of writer's career .0oen everything
she writes is engaged before it leaves

Thirty-two years ago there played in

who could be very serious at the slight

pastimes were dolls and stage, also a
whole lot of writing materials.
AS the girl grew up she was taken
abroad for education, and on one of her
visits she married Reginald Walpole

old: and in the next four years she suf-
fered much unhappiness, out of which
grew the flower of genius.
Mrs. Craigie, at "a, secured a divorce

CARVED HIS OWN MONUMENT.
Virginia sculptor Erects Statues OF
Himself and Wife Before
Death.

Two unique monuments tower high
above the other testimonials to the dead
in lakewood cemetery, Richmond, Va.
They were erected to himself ard wife
by James Netherwood, of that city. Mr..
Netherwood wac The greatest monu-
ment builder in the south. After hav-
ing erected the jackson monument, the
Lee monument, the soldiers and sail
Ors' monument and the \. p Hill and
Howitzer monuments he erected the
stately monument for himself.
There is little story connected with
the monument which now marks the
place where his body lies in lakewood.
Mr.. Netherwood was "a great admirer
of Virginia graninte as a medium
through which to immortalize heroes
and other celebrities. When the SOL
diers' and sailors monument was erect
ed he was a strong advocate of using
Virginia granite for the soldiers figure
on the top. The committee on design
disagreed with him. They thought that
bronze would be much more suitable
and would be capable of more grace
full mold. The Virginia granite was
rejected and the bronze decided upon.
Mr.. Netherwood went to work and
had statue of himself carved in Vir-
ginia granite. This he set up at his
place of business, and, seeing that it
showed up well, he decided to have it
mounted on a tall shaft and placed at
the spot where he would be buried
This was done, and the monument is
now one of the ornaments of Oakwood
1t is thirty feet four inches high and oc-
cuples one of the most commanding DO
sitions in the cemetery The base and
pedestal are nine feet and the column
10, and the figure, which is good like
ness of Mr.. Netherwood, is six feet four
inches.
Some time after Mr.. Netherwood
erected the monument to himself he put
up one to his wife, who is still living.
She was Miss Nancy Ramsley, and has
no children. The monument erected to
her is about ~ feet high. The pedestal
is about six feet four inches and sus-
tains the figure of woman clothed in
Grecian robes and is about five feet
eight inches in height. The monument
to his wife is Immediately to the right
of that erected to himself and is of a
rather striking design. - Chicago

known man of letters to-day. Yes, she
would follow in their footsteps. For a
while her mind turned toward religion,
during which she became converted to
the Roman Catholic faith; but her love
for the drama asserted itself, and she
began playwriting as profession.
Within two years she had written three
plays, all of which were successes.
Mrs. Craigie is a slender woman, not
very tall, but very well built. Her face
eyes and hair are dark, and she has a
wonderful sort of personal magnetism
which her friends believe would have
served her well had she gone on the
stage
Mrs. Craigie has the singular habit of
concentration, rare gift to-day When
she is about to write she sits long hours
and thinks about her plot Its char
acters become human beings to her:
the scenes real places. To secure per-
feet quiet she goes in a convent, where
she engages a room for meditation and
remains there as long as it pleases her
to do so. She cannot work where there
is noise and liability to interruption,
and for that reason she goes to the con-
vent to think and write if only for day
at time. Her best scenes, the most
worldly, sharpest lines in her plays are
written from the walls of the convent.
Mrs. Craigie has only just begun her
work, she believes. She wants to write
a comedy, a tragedy, another society
play and several curtain raisers in the
near future. She has contracted for
each one of these. She writes, when
once she puts pen to paper, very rapid
ly, and without erasure. She does her
thinking from beginning to end before
she begins, and when her thoughts are
completed she writes.
Her library is a magnificent thing, on
the first floor of the great mansion. Her
fathers book shelves line the room, and
there are exquisite pieces of statuary,
wonderful first editions on the shelves.
rarest objects of bric-a-brac from India
and rugs from Belochistan. 1t is the
ideal writing spot. Mrs. Craigie's boy
is an active little lad of eight years,
whose instruction is left to n governess
and tutor. He has nurse and a maid
who care for him when his mother is
busy. Mrs. Craigie does not like to
leave her boy too much to hirelings, and
in spite of her work she manages to De
with him great deal. When putting
on new play her hours are very irregu-
lar. The rchearsals begin at 10 o'clock
midnight and last until two in the
morning.
