Seattle, June 2S.-The facts leading

ed by r. l.. Dunn, correspondent In
Cores, for an American weekly maga-

Mr.. Dunn made this statement after
being informed that Colonel Emerson
was dead:
'Colonel Emerson, as q military

Emerson intended to take this step, an
officer approached another representa-

him II he took such step the govern

that outlined by Emerson. 7 said Mr.
Dunn, shut the Japanese made Il clear
to me that it would not be wise for me
to proceed.
Emerson held papers which would
have carried him through the Russian

months of light and activity and nine
months of the year for studying and
thinking, Ibsenism seems the natural
reality.
Miss Swanston understands why
Americans do not understand Ibsen, be-
cause she belongs to both Scandinavia
and America. Born in Sweden, she
came with her parents to the United
States as a child old enough to retain
the most vivid remembrance of her
native land, yet young enough, too. to
receive full impression as an American
child She always knew she must do
something, and she has always realized
that the United States of all countries
is the spot for the woman self driven to
achieve. She loves America and is
grateful for it's opportunity, yet her
soul is as Scandinavian still as her far
northern rose and lily skin and her
wonderful Swedish golden hair.
Knowing as a little girl in Chicago
that she must do something, yet not
knowing just what. her first essay was
to run away from home with juvenile
"Pinafore" company and tour the
country with it, going as far as New
Orleans. She had the Swedish wo-
mans singing voice, and it made her
way for her.
She returned to Chicago and entered
a school. There her good angel discov-
cred her. The angel was Miss Eliza
Bowman, whom many Chicago folk
name st Eliza because of her good
WORKS "St. Eliza" looked into the
seething, unsatisfied soul, read the tai
ent there and presently brought it
about that Velma Swanston should go
to Boston to the school of oratory.
But she had no money, so must work
her way. She was commended to the
Young Women's Christian association,
and there she lived. Work was found
for her during five hours of the day,
and thus she paid for her living.
The rest of her waking hours she
studied and practiced with so much
zeal and understanding that after the
second year began she was able to
earn money by giving readings and
recitations and assisting in church and

The GadHies.

You see the women of this class at
summer places. There are even a few
here at this resort of gayety. They sit
on the hotel piazza with an embroidery
frame propped up on the fingers of one
hand, while the other draws in and out
the eternal embroidery thread, and
while it goes in and out their tongues
are ever disparagingly busy with the
regulations of the people in the hotel.
We call them the "rippers," because
the scissors poised in their hands are
not more sharp than the edge of their
tongues. But the woman who has
nothing in her life, who hovers always
just on the edge of things, is the one
who (probably because she is envious)
is least kind to others. Give me the

social entertainments. So the brave
northern girl earned her way as she
went. After being graduated from the
school of oratory an episode occurred
in her fife which shows the conscien-
tiousness and minute thoroughness of
the woman. She wished to be able to
delineate insanity on the stage. How
could a young dramatic student learn
to do that? This was how Velma
Swanston accomplished it: Again she
had no money. lack probably common
to the majority of gifted girls who be-
come women who achieve. She obtain
ed a place as attendant in New Eng
land insane asylum and there stayed
and worked and studied till she had
learned what she longed to know-how
crazy people act day by day-that she
might in turn enact on the stage their
drama.
After that she became an actress,
and a successful one. 1t was the life
she loved, and she was ready for it.
She had naturally the sweet voice of
the Scandinavian, and the course of
study in the school of oratory had de-
veloped an exquisitely clear and cor
rect enunciation.
For a number of years Velma Swan
ston followed her professional calling;
then she was married to Henry How
ard. After her marriage she left the
stage for a considerable time. Mean
time, however, she was studying and
thinking, especially studying Ibsen and
thinking over his dramas. Then she
gave readings from them and lectures
on them.
Last summer she went back to Swe-
den and Norway to make local studies.
At Christiania she saw the master
himself. She says he is a shy little
man with a leonine head, this great
retrospective, retrospective Scandfna-
Wan. Miss SwanSton says 1bsen is the
writer who can interpret the inner life
of woman Other men depict women
according to the stereotyped mascu-
line ideal of women; Ibsen paints them
as they are because he reads their
souls. To act the Ibsen drama success
fully Velma SwanSton says conven-
tional stage methods must be abandon
ed with Ibsen the old ways of act
ing don't go. The thought is the
thing"
In Sweden, however, Miss Swanston
found that the most popular Scandina-
Wan writer of fiction is neither Ibsen
nor Bjornson. but a woman-Selma
Lagerlof-a greater than F'rederika
Bremen because her intelligence and
opportunity are wider. Like Miss Bre-
mer, Selma Lagerlof is a single wo
man, now some sixty years of age.
She is woman of fine, imposing ply
sique, with gray hair and a noble,
kindly face. She is greatly beloved in
Sweden and gets from her writings
income of $4,000 year, which is more
than that of Ibsen and Bjornson both
put together.
At Stockholm Velma Swanston saw
and shook hands with gallant Oscar
IL, the citizen king of Sweden and
Norway, a king more democratic than
the president of the United States, a
monarch who walks alone and unat-
tended through the streets like a COM
mon man, who goes to concerts with
his people in the parks and stands
with his hat off when the national airs
are played.
Finally, the Swedish-American wo-
man in search of local coloring for the
