less prosperous citizens. II viii not

most liberal rewards. every effort proved
futile. Her grief over her loss was ex-
quisitely intense and she finally became
resigned, thinking she would never see
her much priced diamond again. But
after three years it did come to light,
and in a most remarkable and curious
manner.
cat the close Of last season, which was
a long and arduous one, Miss Blair was
suddenly taken i'll. The best of the medi-
cal profession was called into consulta-
ton, and the result Of a diagnosis was
that the actress had a w~ell-deveioped
case of appendicitis. An operation was
deemed necessary and it was success
fully performed. Imagine, then, the
amazement of the surgeon when upon
the removal of the vermiform appendix,
the long-lost diamond was found. Miss
Blair's surprise was as great as that of
the surgeon, whom she bountifully re-
imbursed for his skill.
Miss Blair was puzzled for a long
time to learn how the gem could have
possibly met such a peculiar fate: but
she remembered that while troubled with
a slight nervous affection some time ago,
she contracted the habit of nibbling at
the settings of her rings. 1t was while
doing this that h unconsciously swal-
lowed the highly priced jewel"

achieved what, ever from the somewhat
sordid viewpoint of those persons who
measure the worth of a production by

genuine success. Henceforward she must
be ranked among the most prominent,
as hitherto she has been among the mpst
promising, of women stars. The play
which has helped Miss George to this
position is the work of Lottie Blair

and it bears the rather poetic title Of
"Under Southern Skies" William "A.

William A. Brady is said to have spent

an important figure in current theatri-
