her route-a labor Of much magnitude. and
one which she performed entirely alone,

preparatory. but Miss Bingham says:
II love work-hRrd work. No conscien-

mind can get on without work People
who imagine that an actress can maintain

In these prosaic times love at first sight. a

STRANGE EFFECT OF A SAD SONG.
II was afterwards remembered that she In
yartably broke down IN the middle OF the
song, md, crying softly to herself, would
leave the room. with its astonished audi

after her and quickly return. leading her
and apparently all but forcing her TO finish

order her TO return with considerable sharp

husbanad over his beautiful wife excited
considerable comment. Many thought Wat
