 I have been trying to decide whom 1t is that Sandol Milliken resembles After the decision was made it is like the hundred little things that evade ones memory and have a trick of recalling themselves with peculiar emphasis that makes you wonder that it had not occurred to you earlier. She strikngfy resembles Caroline Miskel Hoyt, whose beauty is as fresh in the minds of the theater-going world as it was before her death two years ago. Miss Mill liken is younger than was Mrs. Hoyt but there is a strong resemblance without the maturity of the former It is not the re- suit of any arts of the stage, for chatted with Miss Milliken yesterday and she appeared so natural that it was difi- cult to associate her with the liberties of tl,e toilet table in a stage dressing room She wore a pale blue lounging robe that opened over a pettieoat of lace frillS. Her hair was done simply and she was abso- lutely without any artificial touches or any affecta ton in her manner It is so seldom that one meets the celebrities of the stage away from the artificial atino- sphere of a dressing room that the impress sion is not unlike that which one gets on leaving a brilliantly lighted theater after a matinee and finding the streets still flooded with sunlight.
 It is generally ones fate to sit poised on a trunk while the stage beauty is dili- gently making up and while her maid is adding d touch here and there to her toilette. l recall an occasion at dear old OBrien's Theater when Odette Tyler rob- ing herself for the role of Juliet chatted over her shoulder as she made delicate lit tie touches of rouge, and of how in the scene later on when she ran the dagger through her satin bodice, that the entire br.s r1rg1 membered the scuffie to get in the bodice and the quantities of powder the little mirror reflected, the effect of which was SCftened by distance.
 Away from the environment of a stage dressing room Miss Milliken, in the boudoir ol her friend whom she is visiting, chatted in such a charming manner of subjects other than those of the stage that it was some time before our eonversat ton drifted to Augustin Daly, Ada Rehan, Cranes new play, the number of Southern women or the stage.
 Miss Miliken is Tennessee girl. She was born near Memphis, but so much of her life was spent in Nashville that she regards that city as her home. She was among the famous coterie of girls at Wards Seminary Mrs. Solon Jacobs, whom Miss Miliken is visiting. was at school at Wards with Miss Mlliken.
 The winter preceding the formers mar liage two years ago was the season that Miss MillilIen made her debut on the stage. Mrs. Jacobs was spending that win ter in New York. It was the season that Augustin Daily produced 'aThe Ghesa." The name of Sandol Milliken on the pro- gramme caught the eyes of group ot Southern girls one evening.
 ''There is but one Sandol Milliken," they said, and note was sent to the stage door.
 Miss Milliken was chatting with mem- berS of MT. DalyS cast in the green room The contents of the note almost caused her to forget her lines. Tt is from some one whom I knew when I was a little girl" she explained. Her answer meant a series of happy hours a certain studio, where group of girls recalled the dear old days at Wards That was before Miss Nilliken had seen Augustin Daly.
 That eventful day had occurred in Wash fngton three months before that second eventful evening at Daly's Theater
 Miss Milliken had gone to Ada Rehan in ''The Tanning of the Shrew." MT Daly's company was at one of the Wash ington theaters for a brief season. Miss Millilen wrote him a girlish little note imparted this information with all the confidence of a ge-ambitious girl. An appointment was made for her to see Mr. Daily. It was Saturday at o'clock. Miss Millken rehearsed her interview many times and she would probably have made more dignifed impression upon the i'm pregnable MT. Daily had not the stitch of green carpet on the stage caught her shoe
