pace, Mrs. Langtry was brought up.
Edward Langtry was widower when
she married him.
In character the Lily resembles her
father, Dean LIE Breton. He was tall,
over feet, and handsome, with a grace
of manner and a carriage that made
him magnificent looking. To the veriest
beggar in the street he was as gracious
as to lord. All Jersey loved him and
felt the charm of his fascination. He
was too fascinating, and that was the
trouble. There were music in his voice.
grace in his manner, and that voice and
that manner every one of his children
inherited. AS a Shakespearean reciter
he had few equals, being dramatic, fer
vid and graceful, with a voice lovingly
echoing every shade of meaning. On
the stage he would have been a great
actor. Intellectually he was man of
power, but lazy and comfort loving You
might hear him preach SO times and
think him no more than the ordinary
parson. The hundredth time something

WOMEN As sAPPHRAs.

Feminine ideas of truth are some
times a little peculiar. Who has not
heard a sweet, angelic faced woman az
the door OF crowded concert room or
even a church say TO the sympathetic
usher: please get me seat near the
front. / am a little deaf?" You happen
to know the sweet thing and are wei
aware that she hears somewhat better
than the generality Of her sex. but she
listens to the soul inspiring music with
her beautiful liquid eyes sufused with
emotion, or prays with her face de-
murely covered by her tiny gloved
hands. a saint in miniature. without
thought Of the outrageous lie that has
gained her a choice seat in the edihce.
And the funny part OF IL is that II you
did bring the incident 10 her notice
she would not understand treating tbs
matter seriously. She would probably
say, with a roguish look, Wei. Yea

attended the sessions perforce. but
lightly his responsibilities sat upon
him. At the beginning of a meeting he
would go to the public library nearby
and say to the attendant:
Mrs. Blank, it's rather dull in the
states session. viii you kindly let me
take one of Scotts novels to read till
it's over?"
Now, it was against the rules of the
august library authorities to let any
of the books go off the premises but
nobody could say no to the dean. He
had way with him, way his daugh-
ter, for good or i'll, has inherited to the
full. Withal he had faiIings, serious
ones. There came at length a time
when these could be ignored no longer.
Under unpleasant circumstances he
left the island and went to England and
died there. His body was brought back
to be laid in the lie Breton family vault
at st. Saviour's, and he had one of the
largest funerals ever witnessed in the
island. Everybody, rich and poor, gen
try and laborer, turned out TO pay re-
spect to his remains. The extraordinary
fascination he had exercised over his
people still held them even after his
death, though he had left their island
under cloud. A student Of heredity
might profitably study the early life
of Mrs. Langtry before the commence
ment of her phenomenal career. En-

She is of Scotch birth. Although "she
owns to 49, she has a pink and white
complexion and teeth that a girl Of 20
might envy. Her hands are beautiful
still-white, slender, velvety hands that
have never lifted anything rough or
heavy in all her 80 years. Her eyes are
large, full and blue gray. She, too, had
a gay and brilliant youth and middle
age.
'Oh, yes" said she, retrospectively,
Il had plenty of admirers, and they
were great nuisance"
But an expression lowered about the
merry muscles of her mouth that belied

Mrs. Langtry was born in the rectory
Of the parish OF St. Saviour in
Jersey. The house is a fine, rambling
old stone mansion near the parish
church. It is built on the slope
of an emerald green gully. AS you
look over the stone wall from the
road you see wide grounds, fat and

clean pigs lazing in their sties-every-
thing suggestive OF fresh air, plenty Of

From her girlhood she has slapped
the world in the face and done exactly
as she pleased, yet, when she Willed it

after her widest escapades and gave
her her old place exactly as far as she
cared to hold it-all but two or three
makers of the iron sided society of this
immortal island of Jersey. 1t is sad to
say that if she were to visit this her

gENDOUBTEDLY there is such a
thing as luck, although those who

deny it's existence and attribute their
good fortune to their own superior
merits. We are also warned to pro-

Travelled in her nearly 46 years of life
an unvarying influence of good luck
has attended her who may be called at
once the most audaciouS, the most sue
cessful and the most fascinating Wo-
man of her time-Lillie Langtry. 1t is
not true that the Prince of Wales gave
her the name of Lily. He put the Jer-
sey to it, but here in her own native
island she was known in her childhood
as Lille. Furthermore, for her gayety
and beauty, her health and high spirits,
her sweet voice and charm of manner,
she is a chip not only of one old block,
but two, her father and mother both.
Her good luck is purely her own, and it
goes with her in Everything, from run
ming a play to a race horse.
Her inherited health, dash, good tenn
per and high animal spirits carry her
safe through all. She is also one Of the
best dressers among living women. Her
costumes are eagerly looked for, de-
scribed in the public prints and copied.
The play with which she opened the
season, 1.-The Degenerates," coined
money in London, and has gone to
America. On the occasion of its
one hundredth London representa-
ton the Lily announced that she would
present, printed on satin, Rudyard
Kipling's poem 1.-THE Absent Minded
Beggar" as a souvenir to every seat
holder. The result was a rush for
tickets unprecedented even in London.
Those who could not afford to pay for
seats except in the gallery formed the
biggest and the most determined crowd
of all. The first applicant took his place
