our Mrs. Fiske. Mayhap we are sadly
prejudiced, but not yet have we trem-
bled for our fair compatriot's laurels.
Her Becky Sharp has not been dis
tanced, nor need we fear it will be
soon. Her 'Tess" was powerful, APP
pealing, and it is no wonder it won
her wide recognition and fame. In
her this seasons play, "The Unwel-
come Mrs. Hatch" we find her display
ing, as the unfortunate as we'll as I'M
welcome Mrs. Hatch, the same delicate
art that stamped her work in other
roles.
The play, written by Mrs. Burton
Harrison, the well-known writer of
the society novel, is modern society
tale. The place, of course, is New
York, for where else in this country
does Society, always with a big S, eX-
list? Mr.. Hatch is an unpleasant indi-
vidual, and an especially unpleasant
and altogether undesirable husband.
Mrs. Hatch is loving, lovable, i'm
pulsive woman. Mr.. Hatch not only
fails to appreciate his wife, but open
Nv appreciates a woman not his wife.
Mrs. Hatch, stung with jealousy and
by the slight put upon her, in mo-
ment of frenzy acts so imprudently,
though not dishonorably, that her
husband, who expects charity for his
own sins but shows none for his wife,
drives her from home. And then he
marries the other woman. 1t isn't a
pretty story, but, more's the pity, it is
not an uncommon one in these days.
His wife would gladly have left his
house had it not been that under it's
roof was sheltered little one. her
baby daughter. But leave the home
she had to, and leave the child. She
goes as far away as she can, to San
Francisco, and under an assumed name
begins the battle most of us are en-
gagged in, the struggle for daily bread.
She is successful, and after awhile
finds herself enjoying her honest in
dependence, though she cannot forget
that a few thousand miles eastward
there is one whose tiny fingers had
once fastened tenacious tendrils about
her heart strings.
Some one comes along and tries to
make her forget them, some one I'M
conscious of their existence. A Mr..
Trevor, man worthy and congenial,
the very opposite of her former spouse,
comes across her in the little shop
she keeps in San Francisco, and APP
preciating her, cultiyates her acquaint-
ance assiduously. He asks her to
marry him, but she refuses, and with
out giving satisfactory reason for the
