ROMANCE OF A
GREAT ACTRESS.

When Kitty Dudley appeared in Chi
cago something more than quarter
of century ago, says the New York
World, she made a sensation. 1t was
said that the city had seen many girls
who were more beautiful than She but
none that possessed her charm and fas-
cinations.
She was born in Cleveland, but the
greater part of her girlhood was passed
with her parents in Dayton, o. The
Dudleys were well-to-do, charming peo-
pie and they dolized their daughter,
who was a winsome, wholesome, inn
petuous, warm-hearted and rather ir-
responsible girl.
She came to Chicago to visit the
daughters of Gen. Arson Stager the
younger of whom became Lady Arthur
Butler and who is celebrated in London
as a beauty.
OF course her name is Caroline Dud-
ley, but everybody called the red-hair-
ed girl Kitty Dudley. She was ia
nous then as now for her hair. She
was 16 or II when she visited Chicago
and this great mass of hair was won
derful golden rod.
She was a 1.-THE, supple, dainty girl
with an exquisitely slender and round
ed figure with great personal charm
and a magnetism that made her pres
ence felt wherever she appeared. She
was impetuous, daring and altogether
lovable and many men fell in love with
her and wanted to marry her.
Among them was Leslie Carter. He
was a young lawyer who had inherited
a large fortune, a strict churchman,
as was his father before him, and a

WOMEN AND
POCKET EQUILIBRIUM.

Woman may possess a keener spirit
ual insight than man." said, to the
Philadelphia Ledger, the philosopher,
who is married; "she may be his equal
Intellectually; in executive ability she
may be in no way his inferior, but in
one respect she lacks symmetrical men

I'm what respect is that?" he was
asked.

| "Pocket-what?'
Pocket equilibrium"
What is that?"
Nov, that question alone" said the
| philosopher who is married, would
prove that you are little acquainted
with the sex. Pocket equilibrium, sir,
is that happy adjustment of the arti-
| Cles in his pockets by which man
maintains his balance and keeps him
self from becoming lopsided or top
pling over. For instance, man has
| fifteen pockets in his garments. In
| them he carries several pounds of keys,
| knife, pocketbook, memorandum book,
| letters, tobacco, watch, match safe,
| hymnal, bills (dun and undun), pencil,
handkerchief, business cards, newspa-
pers, gloves, collar buttons, bachelor
| buttons (for accidents), small change,
coffee and other things too trivial to
mention. Were men to carry all of these
| things in one pocket, or even on one
side, the race soon would tip over,
dwindle and decay. But they do not;
they carefully distribute them among
| their fifteen pockets, maintain an
equilibrium, and scarcely realize that
! they are loaded. Is this not true?"

"Well, a woman cannot get on to this

THE BR0WNSTONE FRONT.

Very amusing incidents constantly
occur through the obviously natural
mistake of taking one similar Drown
stone front" for another. At a dinner
not long ago, says the New York
Tribune, when nearly all the guests
were assembled, a young man who was
well known to nearly all of those pres
ent entered the drawing room, and,
not seeing his hostess, chatted with his
friends and wondered why they did not
announce dinner. In the mean while
the real hostess of the occasion (for it
is needless to say he had mistaken the
house,, who was not acquainted with
the unconscious intruder. fell quite at
a loss how to proceed.
"If l had know him." she said after
ward, "it would not have been so awk-
ward, but l felt that to tell a stranger
that l preferred his room to his COM
pany on this particular occasion was
impossible. Finally / deputed the UNI
pleasant task to a woman whom he
knew intimately, but who accepted the
commission most unwillingly.

she said, as you say he cannot posi-
bly, be squeezed in, and, besides, he
must be due somewhere else, but he is
aWfully shy, and l know he VIII feel
dreadfully embarrassed.
"A surmise which proved quite true,
for the poor young man flushed up to
the roots of his hair upon being made
aware of the situation, and beat a pre-
cipitate retreat. One man who attended
an evening function never found out
his mistake until the next day. having
arrived very late, and. thinking 1t quite
natural that his hostess should by that
time have mingled with the crowd as
he did not see her, he talked to his
friends, danced a little, took supper,
and then left, still thinking he had at

fact of the matter being that he had

BE CAREFUL OF THE MIRROR.

In France the convent maidens peer
into deep still water that they may
gaze at a piquant face set in a mass
of Titan hair, or comedy features
framed bv black smooth locks.
When creases steal into the smooth
cheeks, says the New York Herald
and around the eyes and rob the face
of it's fresh beauty, the older women
name the deep pool with CLASSY sur
face the thief, for they know what
an undue amount of squirting must
be done to obtain a glance of the
face.
Narcissus fell in love with his re-
Election. That was a legend and Il
pretty piece of poetry, and one might
believe that he sees a thousand feml-
nine repetitions of Narcissus' weakness
every day. Woman does not realize
until it is too late what a net of lines
she creates in her face simply be-
cause of her vanity.
Did you ever watch friend while she
was arranging her hair? Did you notice
the manner in which she uses her
hand mirror an article that is re-
sponsible for more wrinkles than all
the still waters in France. If you have
not noticed Capt Cuttle's rule and
when found make a note on it,"
Every woman wants to see the back
of her hair when dressing it. She
picks up the mirror and flashes it up
in front of her eyes, invariably draw
ing her brows together, as the reflec-
ton is a sudden shock and strain on
the optic nerves. She then tips her
head on one side as that brilliantly
colored bird of the tropics, the parrot,
does when a piece of glass falls into
his claw. She tips the glass sideways
and catches a glimpse of her hair IN
it. This calls for a drawing of her
mouth to one side, and she makes
minute creases in her nose. This, be-
ing repeated every day, becomes II
source of worry to her and she Won
ders how they got there.
Then, too, she tips her head for
ward and makes a double chin" COM
pressing her lips and creasing her
cheeks until there are two lines on
each side of her mouth that look like
velvet cut on the bias.
But this is only a small part of the
| trouble brought about by a charming
face, and the owners curiosity to as
certain whether the lower curve of her
pompadour on the right hand side of
her forehead is at the right angle with
her nose, and preserves the Zine" she
wishes to make to add symmetry to
her features.

WOMAN WITH HUM0R.

If you consider the list of your
friends. says Harper's Bazaar, it will
not take you long to discover that the
woman you like best is the woman
with a sense of humor. She is the one
you think of first if you are getting up
a picnic or card party. You do not,
perhaps, formulate it even to yourself.
but in your mind she stands for the ut
most good humor. If it rains, or it
shines, if anybody else is cross and
grumpy the woman with a sense of
humor can extract fun out of the
dreariest proposition, and the first
thing you know she has set everybody
to laughing at her droll sayings, and
turned defeat into a triumph, for who
cares whether your original plan was
carried out or not, just so everybody.
has a good time?
A sense of humor is said to be lack
ing in most women. Alas! I have found
this only too true, but 1 have noticed
that when a woman does have it the
men are the first to find it out, and adj
she has to do to acquire a husband is
to pick and choose. The day of the
girl with the doll face is going out and
the day of the girl with a sense of hu-
NOR is coming in.

thrifty soul. Also he was a fighter,
as he is to this day-a most vindictive,
determined, resourceful fighter. He
had the best possible social position in
Chicago.
In the end he was -sfctorious over
his rivals and he persuaded the fas-
cinating Kitty Dudley to marry him.
The wedding took place in her home
in Dayton in 1880, and it was a bril-
liant affair.
They were as far apart as the poles.
The emotional, pleasure-loving, spoiled
child was not fitted to be the wife of
a highly conservative young man who
believed that a wife's place was in her
home They had all manner of bitter
experiences. In fact, the divorce suit
which was tried in 1889 was one of the
worst scandals that Chicago has ever
known. The couple had separated long
before that.
1t was a hard fought case, which
was appealed. The decision was
against Mrs. Carter.
Mrs Carter announced that she was
going on the stage. She chung to the
names f Mrs. Leslie Carter. A Chicago
friend asked her why she did this and
she promptly replied:
Simply to annoy him. I want to re-
pay him for some of the things he did
to me-"
She studied for awhile under Kyrle
Belew Then David Belasco took Mrs.
Carter in hand. She made her debut
in 1.-The Ugly Duckling," in 1891, and
her failure was complete. Never has

HOW TO MAKE A
HUSBAND HELPFUL.

In the first place, don't let your hus-
band become fixed in the notion that
his activities properly begin and end
with bread-winning for the family,
While it is his privilege to grumble at
the food, smoke in the best parlor and
play billiards at the club or some worse
place. Let him realize at the start that
a fair division of labor calls for a deal
more from him than the conduct of
his business, or the mere earning of a
salary.
There are many things, Says the New
York Journal, that a husband may be
trained to do with care and kindness.
Everybody knows that the wife makes
the home. But as a wife's duties at
home consist in doing about three
times as much work as d husband does
in a day it follows that it is much
easier for husband than for a wife
to be happy. The best way to make a
wife happy is to take some of the
work off her hands.
A husband may be useful in three de-
artments-shopping. household work
and garden work. The household work
is most important. With a little tut
ton and some supervision, a man may
be trusted to clean paint and windows,
take up and beat carpets, refill coal
scuttles, clean sewing machine, chop
wood, clean bicycles, oil locks and
doors, clean fireirons, wash oilcloth
scrub stairs and do other work that
requires a pair of strong arms and
some muscle
With little judicious flattery hus-
band takes kindly to the office of
nurse maid, and enables the busy wife
to make cakes and clean up the kitch-
en-. Induce him to make the children
a dolls house, or the baby a chair
and table. You know that he is clever
enough to do anything like that, and
you have only to tell him so to start
him on the job. If you put the chill
dren up to it, his fatherly heart will
respond at once.
Some husbands are obstreperous in
the house. In that case turn your at
tention to the garden. Let him build
hen house. The man was never yet
: born who didn't think he could raise
chickens. You WILL of course, say how
nice it is to have new-laid eggs.
With his chickens and eggs your hus-
! bands spare time will be we'll taken
UP. If it isn't, he can train ivy up the
| wall, or sow mustard and cress, and
! carrots and turnips. The expenses will
come out of his own pocket money,
these things not being an absolute ne
cessity, as you will point out. If he
won't give you the new-laid eggs, buy
| them from him at a cent a piece and
| grumble if they are not very big.

Economy was under discussion. "a
woman knows how to economic much
better than a man does" she said, de-
cidedly.
The man, says the Philadelphia Led
ger, was willing to be convinced by
proofs.
Now, see here, when you have n bit
of a headache you rush out to the drug
store and get the clerk to give you a
powder" she said "Then next time
|eyou have a headache you do the same
thing, and you spend surprisingly
large amount of money in this way"
"Well, what would you have me do?'
asked the man. STAND the headache,
/ suppose, and get cross and irrita-

not, for when a man makes up his
mind to stand his headache there's no

But l would have you go out and buy

quantity is much less expensive than
buying them in driblets.

self without clean collars or clean
shirt, and goes out and buys more. AS
a matter of fact, he has plenty on hand
and does not need any more, but
through his carelessness he ties his
money up in shirts and collars when
it is positively necessary that he have
a few cravats.
"Then there's the matter of tobac-
Co"

KITCHENER HURT.
British Commanders Leg BrOk-
en- in Two Places.

Simla, India, Nov. 16.-Lord Kitchen
er, commander-in-chief of the British
forces in India, has met with a serious
accident while riding home from a
country house near here. AS he was
passing through a tunnel his horse be-
came frightened and collided with the
walled side. One Of Lord Kitchener's 5
legs was broken in two places.
Some time afterward, coolies passing
through the tunnel found the COM
mander-in-chief lying there helpless
and brought him to Simla. He is now
reported to be doing well.
Although accustomed to the tunnel,
Lord Kitchener's horse was frightened
by suddenly coming upon native. The
animal swerved and jammed its rider
against a beam in the side wall. His
leg was twisted and both bones snapped
above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity of the
injured man, the coolies bolted and
left him lying on the ground where
he suffered greatly for half an hour.
The broken bones have been set, and
after having passed a good night, the
general is in a cheerful mood. 1t ap-
pears that Lord Kitchener had inform
ed the members of his staff that he was
not going out for a ride, but later
changed his plans. Hence, he was alone
when the accident occurred.

Kansas City Representative Re-
ceipted for Them.

E. A. Enright. who represented one
of the Wyandotte districts in the last
legislature, has made an explanation
of the statement made by w. S. Harris
published in the State Journal Satur-
day, in a dispatch from Kansas City.
Harris says that Enright had him
placed on the house pay roll, but that
he never came to Topeka during the
time for which he drew pay, even to
get his warrant: that Mr.. Enright even
attended to the drawing of his voucher
and warrant and getting the warrant
cashed. which is attested by the fact
that the warrants are endorsed "W. r.
Harris, by L. A. Enright." Harris fur
ther asserts that Enright paid him only
$4O stating that he was compelled to
give the other s14 to a clerk for put
ting his name on the pay roll.
In his reply Mr.. Enright says that
Harris was put on the pay roll to sue
ceed r. Y. Williams. who resigned
when he was drawn on jury in
Wyandotte county towards the close
of the legislature. Enright further ad-
mits that he cashed Harris warrant
at his request. and that he kept $40 of
the amount. but says it was because
Harris owed him and that he did not
pay it to any clerk.

Kansas City, Nov. 16.-Emory Buck
ner, football manager at Nebraska
university, and Avery, former captain
and half back at Kansas university
were the victims of pickpockets Satur-
day in coming from Lawrence on the
train which bore the Cornhuskers to
Kansas City on their journey home to
Lincoln. Buckner was relieved of a
wallet containing $3.50. He did not dis
cover his loss until within a few miles
of Kansas City, although he thinks the
robbery may have been committed at
Lawrence during crush of several
hundred passengers to get aboard the
train. Avery recalls that he felt some
body tugging at his overcoat pocket
as he mounted the steps of the coach
and a few monutes later he discovered
that. the pocketbook containing $40 was
missing.
Avery is now civil engineer and has
been operating for several months in
Nebraska, making Lincoln and Omaha
his headquarters.
