was voluminouS Kaiserin Augusta was an
exceedingly astute and clever woman. less
happy in her domestic relations than our
own Queen, and perhaps On hat account
much devoted to politics.
! Then there was the Princess Of Leiningen,
a dearly-beloved cousin, who was Q little
s-year-old girl at the time Of our Queens
accession, and enjoyed her affection all the
days OF her life. She was originally a
Grand Duchess Of Baden, and after her
marriage to Prince Ernest Of Leiningen. who
was an Admiral In the British Navy, she
spent a great deal Of time in England. Both
her children were born at Osborne. and
when she died. in November, 1855, the Queen
! incurred her deeply.
] One Of our late Queens most remarkable
friendships was with the Empress Eugene.
! who was in her youth the most beautiful
woman in Europe. It Is no disrespect to
her to say that she was not born In tho
purple. and when married to the third Ma
poleon her position among the rowned
heads of Europe was at once difficult and
unique. On her first visit to England. when
she found herself one day alone with the
Queen. she Is said to have literally knelt
at her feet and besousht her. as one woman
to another, to give her support and friend

Prince Albert in the Highlands. Lady Bid

It must always be very difficult for a roy.
al LADY to make friendships outside her OWL
family. but Queen Victoria wa very
fortunate In that respect, and amid the
wide circle Of her OWL and the Prince Con-
sorts relatives. as well as at home. she
had some very faithful and tenderly at
tached friends, while those in whom she re-
! posed confidence and honored with her sin
cere affection felt hat they had received
the highest distinction their sovereign
could bestow, says an English writer.
Queen Victoria's first friend was her half
sister, Feodore. who was several years her
senior, and wa married to the hereditary
Prince Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. just as
she began to be euaancipated from the
schoolroom and to travel about her future
Kingdom with her judicious mother. She
was q somewhat lonely girl, and expert

and could hardly be said to a made any
other friend till after her accession.
AS quite q young woman she chung very
closely to the beautiful Duchess Of Suther-
land, who was her mistress of the robes and
whose religious convictions conceded with
hers. Her affection for the Duchess led to
the m~uch-talked-of "bedchamber incident"
In which the Queen proved herself stronger
than the ministry. Her special men friends
IN those early days were the Duke OF Well

marriage she had n needed no friend of
the other sex but her husband. The afec-

and the family of King Louis Philippe is

The |
Play
Factory

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
N q big five-story building on West
~Thirty-eighth street, New York, is
located . play factory'-more COM
plete than any other In the country-in
which are constructed complete all the
productions Of one Of the biggest firms of
theatrical managers In the world. This
play factory is the nearest approach in this
country to the construction department of
and endowed European theater.
tn average theaterEoer knows very little
about the immense amount Of preliminary
labor and care required In the production
OF a play which delights OF bores him for
Q few brief hours.
He has a vague idea that scenery Is paint
Cd on canvas and stitched on frames; that
the silks and tinsels In which the players
disport themselves on b stage must have
been made to order at some expense, and
that likewise the nmelisht which he OBJ
serves working diligently from the balcony
must cost something. But mainly he is con-
cerned with the a~ctors-what they say and
do-and the general effect Of the picture,
rather than Its detail.
When you tell 1 that the electric light
Ing equipment Of . big spectacular produce
ton sometimes costs. alone. several thou
sand dollars. and hat for every hour the
play lasts q month has been spent In prep
aration, and that the total cost Of such
a production before the first curtain rises
may be from $4,000 to $4,000. he opens his
eyes in surprise, n perhaps in incredu-
lity.
He does not see how 30 much money can
be expended on himsy canvas and Frame
work and a few trumpery costumes. But
looking far behind the scenes. into the
workshops which al them, one realizes
the immensely Of the play-producing bust
ness.

employs 800 actors in ten dr twelve COM
panies, and twice that number Of employees
whom the public never sees and seldom
hears of-are busy preparing these different
productions.
In order to simplify matters and save s-
pense this firm combines under ono roof
scenic studies. carpenter and property
shops, framemakers and lithograph mount
ing departments. and even a photograph
studio, and here It does its own CONSTRUCT
ton work on a wholesale scale, instead OF
letting It out in Jobs to contractors.
h scenic artist is called upon to mako
new models for each "set." or scene. This
he does by constructing. out Of cardboard
ana paper, a miniature stage on the scale
urement In this model every detail of the
complete scene is represented. and this =
changed and remodeled until IL meets the
approval Of the manager and stage director
sometimes as often as half q dozen times.
The accepted model. which also shows the
color scheme of the scene, Is then given to
the scene painters On the upper floors Of
the factory Tor reproduction in full size.
Inc general plan and the difficult bits, re-
curing careful drawing. arc usually
blocked out by the master scene painter,
whose assistants then fill in the color and
minor details according to the model.
This work is done on the paint bridge
OF a scenic studio. occupying the three up
per stories Of the factory" In this big
studio the frames can be raised or lowered
within the reach Of the painters. In Monte
Crtsto.. there are three full-sized sets and
three cycioramas, averaging 800 yards each
OF -canvas-enough, all together, to make
tents for 5000 soldiers-and the amount
OF color plastered o n these canvases would
have to be estimated In barrels.
Meanwhile the master carpenter on tho |
drst floor has been CONSTRUCTING, according
to measurements furnished by the scene
painters. the woodwork and backing for
the canvas scenes. many of which have to !
be cut into the shapes Of castles. turrets, |
houses. trees and foliage. Usually what APP
pears from the front to be solid woodwork
Is. In reality, profile" or very thin board, |
made especially for this purpose.
Occasionally the carpenter receives or
ders for staircases, balconies and pillars,
which must bear the weight of a number
OF people, and then his work is almost as
heavy as that Of a regular house builder
