most desirable atmosphere for young
woman.
1T is true that conditions are grow
ing better In this respect SO much so
that there are a few stock companies
which are highly refining and educat-
I've In their influence upon the mem
bers. In these companies, dress, lang
uage and behavior conform to
the best possible standards not
through rule, but because the mem
bers OF such companies are themselves
proud Of the respect and friendship Of
their companions. But places In such
companies are not easy to obtain Each

1.-THE stage-struck girl Is apt TO take
gratefully the very first chance that
offers, and the chorus is the great en-
trance way to the profession in most
cases.
Now, If you have ever seen a chorus
drilled and rehearsed you can get an
idea Of the manner Of the usual stage
manager and his attitude toward the
girls Of the chorus. His language is
never chosen, is frequently unpleasant
and often profane,
1T is needless TO say that In no 9TH

Forbes Phillips, as Athol Forbes: An
thony Hope Hawkins, as Anthony

IL Is curious to observe how almost
invariably the pen-names OF lady writ
ers are either ayowedly masculine or
without indication Of sex, as George
Eliot Maxwell Gray and G.. NJ. Hut
ton (Mrs. Mona Calrd).
Miss Ada Ellen Bayly arrived at the
name Edna Lyall by the simple pro-
cess OF transposlng some OF the letters
OF her own name, and Mile. de la RAJ
NEE, as Is known, adopted as her pub
lie appellation "ouida. which was the
nearest approach very youthful sis
ter could make to the pronunciation OF
her Christian name, Louise.
Some pen names have distinctly
humorous origin. as Luke Sharp. which
suggests the obvious meaning that
occurred to its owner Robert Barr.

The name OF Mark Twain was, as
is pretty generally known, suggested
to MIR. Clemens by the cry OF the leads

the lead indicated that the boat was In

There is such a tantalizlng sugges-
ton OF mystery In many Of the PEN
names that one cannot resist wonder
ing how and why they were assumed;
and the story Of their genesis ought
to be interesting.
Why, for example, should the late
Charles Kingsley's talented daughter
choose to be known as Lucas Malet?
According to her own confession, her
modesty was the motive which induced
her to conceal her identy, SO that any
failure on her part should not dim the
luster Of her fathers fame. For this
reason she combined the names Of two
clever women in her family, one of
whom was Mary Lucas the maiden
name Of her fathers mother and the
other Alice Malet. her grandmother's
aunt, both OF which names she has
thus rescued from oblivion.
With lady writers the fear OF family
criticism seems TO have been respons-
ibe for many assumed names. Mrs
Alexander for Instance, the author OF
"The Wooing OF" and other delight
full novels, adopted the Christian name
of her husband, Mr.. Alexander Hec-
tor, and under this mask won her fame
before he was even aware that she
had written line. and Nine. Sarah
Grand. knowing that her husband Sur
peon McFall, did not approve Of her
views, concealed her identity under
the name now so widely known and
which she chose on account OF its
plainness.
1t is curious, by the way, how many
lady authors have selected unattract-
i've and even ugly pen-names Olive
schrelner won her laurels under the
almost repellant name OF Ralph Iron;

Mr. Nixon did not attack Mr.. Sheehan. as some

did not even frown al him. On the contrary,

Thus it was that when Mr. Nixon was asked
what he thought of Mr., Sheehan's threat. he
said:

At this Mr. Nixon for the time being forgot
his lately acquired vocation. His answer was
not the answer OF a politician, but of ship
builder. of who worked In mathematics
and planned warshps. After a moment OF

was the quick reply. Why, no. Of course not.
The only factor that Tammany Hall is con-
sidering in the next campaign is the Republican
party. The Greater New-York Democracy will

cratic candidates, and they will receive the Dem
ocratic vote and be elected in all Democratic
districts"
Does that include the IXth Assembly Dis
trict Mr.. Nixon"
'.Tanmany will elect its candidate in the IXth
District without a doubt was the answer.
Then Mr.. Nixon added:
The political situation. as look at it at pres
ent is most favora ple to the Democratic party.
Tammany Hall and the upstate Democrats are
going to work together. In fact, Democrats in
city State and nation getting together. We
could not ask for better outlook.
