Royalty Behind the EootIinhts.

Queen Alexandra of England was
madiy stage struck when a girl. Her
royal mother suffered all the pangs
which the mother of Katie Murphy
suffers, when she glances out of the
window and sees her little girl with a
cotton shawl pinned round her waist
TO represent a train, dancing with
marvellous agility in her shutting shoes
to the tune Of the hand organ.
As girl, England's present sover-
eign went through all the burning
phases of stage fever. She chafed at
the strict regime of royalty, which kept
her from finging conventionality to
the winds and doing Juliet to the ap-
pause OF an admiring public. Secretly
she d1geSted the potion scene" and
did Portia In a dressing gown and
Rosal1nd in a pages breeches. Then
she took to giving amateur perform
ances, and so infected the whole palace
with the stage fever that her mother
at length set her foot down with a
royal edict that all amateur theatricals
should be stopped at court. But Alex
andra, thus strenuOusly repressed, was
more lenient with her own daughter.
the Princess Maud, who inherited from
her mother an ambition for the foot
lights, and who before her marriage
delighted the king with her private
performances at Sandringham
The daughter of royalty who looks
longingly at the footlights passes
Through exactly the same phases which
infect the girl of the middle classes
and the daughter of the streets. When
theu little Queen of Holland declared
that, if she had been forced to choose
a*-profession, she would have selected
the stage, she displayed the same hui
man vanity which possesses the heart
of Dorothy, who chews caramels rap
turously at Kyrle Bellew matinee and
mentally decides her mission is to set
the world on fire as Juliet in white
silk frock. When Wilhelmina built a
theater for herself In the royal palace
of The Hague and there managed per-
formances and appeared in them her
self, she was only emulating those girls
who tear down the parlor portieres and
construct temporary playhouse with
the best furniture in the house and the
lace curtains as q background.
Sometimes these royal matinee girls
display SO much talent at their little
performances that 1t seems too bad
they can never hope to crafty their
natural girlish ambitions.

! Less brainy but better dressed than
ats rival, the Sorosis, the Eclectic Club
OF New York holds an unimpeachable
! position in the most exclusive circle
of Gotham society. Indeed, so ire
proachably placed is it that it can af-
ford occasionally to defy the conven-
lions and treat itself to a sensation.

read it summoned into it's presence a
mere man. The mere man came with

Quivered when he announced the sub
! ject of his address, How to Get Rid of

Epink with excitement. And then the
man began. He handled his subject
without gloves and laid down eighty
seven rules for the guidance of the
fEclectics. 1t is said that half the mem
sbers Of the club are spinsters and the
other half divorces, which fact, how
ever has nothing to do with this story
Every member present drank in
with avidity his words of wisdom.
MANY took notes. The following are
some Of the rules he gave for getting
rid of the man whose attentions are
distasteful:
Step often on his feet.
DO not move if he attempts to en-
brace you.
Should he offer a caress turn the
head little to the left side.
ASK him to love you when he's tir-
ed
"Underrate his friends.
Find fault with all his plans for
your pleasure.
Never laugh when he laughs, or
should you both happen to laugh at
the same time let him clearly under
stand that you are not laughing at the
same thing he is laughing at.
when he begins to tell a story al
ways interrupt him and begin another
that has no relation to the one he is
trying to tell you"

A JAPANESE FAN.

Carved in odorous canphorwood.

Every inch of the slender sticks
Deft brown hands have contrived to fill
with wonderful tales of love and war.
Or songs of the spring in far JaDan.
Pra1sing the snow of the cherry bios
This was the fan of Osadi San.
Oft unfurling the dainty thing.
Delicate, fine, and thin as lace.
She held its beautiful openwork
between the moon and her f1oWerlike
Where is she now? BY the temple gray
That might have been built when the

she sleeps in peace like a folded bud:
And here Is the fan of Osadi San.
From the. lacquered chest where it used
to lie
With bordered sashes, kirnones quaint
And silken sandals, it crossed the sea
limiting still of the fragrance faint
OF musk and altar and strange pomades
Such as they use In old japan:
And fair American maiden now
Waves the fan of -Osadi San.

Gently led him to organize a divorce
society, is bestirring himself vigorous
ly just now in behalf of the Pharos
club, society that is his lordship's
particular hobby. 1t has no stated OBJ
ject nor initiation fee, but is merely a
club for men and women in sympathy
with progressive thought.
Earl Russell founded the Pharos club
five or six years ago and determined to
keep the cost of belonging to it so low,
that clever but poor Bohemians could
join. The Bohemians joined readily
enough. They have enjoyed the excel
lent food provided and the privilege of
paying next to nothing for it, but the
society's exchequer has suffered The
25-cent lunches provided were almost
too good for the money.
Earl Russell is pushing a movement
to double the membership by June 1,
and thus increase the clubs income

prime minister, Lord John Russell,

AN ACTOR FROM kANkAkRE.

This clever parody on w S. GiIbert's
Yarn Of the Nancy Belp' was first recit-
ed to group Of felloW-aetors Of whom
De Wolf Hopper was one, by George s.
Knight, the actor, at the fremont house.
In Chicago. Mr.. Knight, who was a ia
nous comedian in his day. especially for
his broken Dutch dialect, has been dead
for some years:
1t was in the town of Kalamazoo,
In the state of Michigan
L saw on the rocks with his property box
A gloomy theatrical man.
His =. T. heel was all run down,
And weary and worn was he
And saw this fake give himself a shake
And he growled in a cultural key:
oh I'm star and a manager bold,
AND heavy and Juvenile man;
pert Soubrette and a comedy pet
And the boss Of the box-sheet plan"
lis lis little know Of the mimic show,
But 1t puzzles me how you can
Be star and a manager bold,
A heavy and juvenile man,
a pert SOubrette and comedy net
And the boss OF the box-sheet plan"
And ne wiped his eye with three-sheeE
Twas lettered with blue and red
And he cursed the fates and the omen
dates
And this to me he said:
Twas In the year of seventy-one
That a party of six and me
Went on the road with a play that's
know d
AS Musical Comedee.'
Our biz was creative knocked them cold,
We made them Shrek and roar,
When to our grief we struck on a reef
On the west of Michigan shore
we travelled about from town to town
A-tryin' to change our luck,
With nothing to taste but billboard
paste
And property canvas duck.
We got as far as Kankakee.
All travel stained and sore
Wnen our star got mad and shook us bad
For q. job in dry goods store.
Then the pert soubrette and the comedy
Got Job as cook and waiter.
And are doing right well in a small hotel
Near the Kankakee tneater.
Then the heavy and juvenile man
Informed me with a frown,

With a circus then in town
Then only the comic and remained
To leave me he hadn't the heart
Every laugh was a drop of blood TO him
And he loved that comedy part
We played that night to a right good
house
Eight dollars and half
When to my Ill luck in my part stuck
And queered the comedians laugh.
He fell down dead of a broken heart,
And the coroner old and sage
Said he had bad attack

Then l played that play all by myself
For week in Kankasee.

Mrs. Fairbanks or Mrs. Mclean?

Local daughters who are planning to
attend the Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
which convenes next Monday in Wash
ington, may be interested in the fol-
lowing bit of political gossip" clipped
from New York paper:
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton are furnishing up their wardrobes
and polishing up their parliament
tary law preparatory to their annual
descent upon Washington, where they
convene in the week which includes
their father Georges birthday.
War to the knife is promised in the
effort to keep the present president
general, Mrs. Fairbanks, in Office. She
will have formidable rival in the per-
son Of Mrs. Donald Mclean, of New
York.
Mrs. Mclean is a splendid politician.
Mrs. Fairbanks also understands the
political game.
In her ruling with the Daughters
Mrs. Fairbanks is subtle, 'tactful in her
attitude. Mrs. Mclean, on the con-
trary, dominates by sheer strength of
personal magnetism. She is aggressive
and forceful.
Each has a strong following among
the Daughters, and it will be interest
ing to watch the Washington campaign.

counting one head of hair, he undertook
several. The results of his investigations

hair the smallest In no case Is there
much variation between sexes when the
color is the same an coo Light-haired people
Brunettes average only about los 900
hairs. Red-haired people do not have much
more than 10000. This means that red
hair is coarser than other shades but it
has the advantage of lasting longer.
