Next! Another Theory as to the Author
Of shakspere's PIays-This Says There
Were TWO shaksperes Who Spelled
Their Names DItferently--on Poet,
the Other a Mere Man, and the Mere
Man Got Credit for tho poems-The
"Auto" as chaucer Would Write About
1t.
WHO wrote Shakspere?" is getting to
be almost as much Of a riddle as the rid
die Of the universe, that is, II one may
judge from the number Of theories ad-
vanced for>the writing Of the plays which
bear Shakspere's name.
The editor Of The Open Court comes
forward in the February number Of his
magazine with his Views of the matter.
This column has not followed the con-
troversy very closely, and so cannot say
whether The Open Courts theory is al
together original and novel or not.
Whether it Is or not it is ingenious enough
to bear repeating. In brief it is this:
A man existed who wrote under the
name of William Shakespeare. Another
man lived about the same time whose
name was William Shakespeare. The latter
was the son of John Shaxpere, the glover,
and Of his wife Mary Arden, and was
the husband Of Anne Hathaway. His
name was variously spelled as SHAKESPEARE,
Shakespeare and Shackspear. The poet
became confused in the public mind with
the son of the glover, and the son Of the
glover got credit for the poets plays. It
is suggested that the two Williams were
cousins.
With regard to the claims of the Bacon
| Ian theory the same writer says:
IAN Identification of the poet Shake
speare with Lord Bacon is fantastical and
without the slightest support, except sc
far as negative evidence is concerned"
Following this, he suggests that his
theory must not be taken as more than 8
suggestion based upon Significant docu-
| mentary evidence a.

THE GIRL BEAUTIFUL.

IF girls in private life only knew
how easily we manage to keep our
complexion fresh and smooth and deli
cate, they would not be envying, but
emulating us" said to the New York
Press. a little actress who is noted for
her peaches-and-cream skin.
"Of course. an actress who takes care
of herself is bound to keep youthful
looking longer than the woman with
domestic cares. because her thoughts
are young and she is always in the
midst of life and excitement. The mere
fact of keeping on the qui vive and
of constantly thinking how one looks
VIII keep any woman buoyant and
charming. But the secret of the the
atrical woman's smooth. clear skin Is,
after all, in the brand of her cold
cream.

TRAINING OF A PRINCESS.

The Czarina of Russia, a grand
daughter OF Queen Victoria, says the
New York Times. was brought up most

fathers income being barely sufficient
to cover the cost of living necessary to
one i'm his position. She had no maid.
hut dressed herself and was taught to
take the best possible care of her sim
ple frocks. many of which were made
by her mother, the Princess Alice. Her
nurse and governess were English. and
many were the visits she made her
grandmother. the English Queen, at
Balmoral and Osborne. Her sister had
married the Grand Duke Serge, and
1t was while visiting her that the Prin-
cess Alix met the Czarewitch. The
Russian Alexander was at first, it is
said, opposed to the match, and it was
only the earnest and continued en-
treaties OF his son that induced him
to consent. The Princess Alix herself.
however, when she found she must en-
brace the tenets of the Orthodox Rus
sian Church, made many objections to
the match. She had been trained in
the Evangelical faith and it was some
months before she consented to re-
nounce it. and this was largely owing
to the direct advice of the German
Kaiser, who advised her that it would
be much better for her country, that
she gave her consent. The change
from the simple life previously hers
to the grandeur and elaboration of the
Russian Court was a tremendous one
for the little princess. but she has re-
tained her simplicity and to this day
dislikes gorgeous clothes and the wear
ing of many jewels. OF these of
course, she has unlimited quantities of
the most beautiful as well as costly.
but never wears them except at court
functions, and then she selects those
that are artistically beautiful rather
than costly.
The Empress of Russia is the mis-
tress of twelve palaces, of which her
favorite is the Alexander palace. one
of the smallest of the twelve, at Tsar-
koe Selo. The ground about this
mansion is rather fiat and overlooks
stretches of greensward lengthening to
meet distant woods. and there are
many copses of silver birch. Here, a
dozen miles from st. Petersburg, the
Emperor and Empress spend most of
the summer months.
The winter palace in st. Petersburg,
on the River Neva, is about 500 feet
square, and everything about it, save
the private rooms of the rulers, is mag
nificent and colossal. The apartments
of the Gear and Czarina, however, are
simply furnished in English walnut
and covered with cretonne; much of it
was bought in England.
The Emperor is devout churchman,
and every day he and the Empress at
tend church services in the chapel of
the winter palace, a lofty. gilded af-
fair. In this is a picture which ira
dition says was painted by the Apostle
st. Luke: it portrays the head of
Christ, but now is so dark that the
face can scarcely be discerned. Placed

BERNHARDTS ACTIVITY.

Mime. Bernhard is one Of the mos,
satisfactory examples of women who
never grow old" and one who proves
that it is not those whose lives are
beds of roses who retain youth; in
deed, it may be said that many wom-
en- never know what real youth is.
life Of incessant activity and varied in
terests, or, in other words, hard work
but variety in 1t, would seem to he
the real fountain of youth to those
who take reasonable care of their
health Every one knows that Bern
hardt paints and sculptors with no
small skill; that she is a good sports
man, and that she dictates many arti-
cles for magazines and papers. Aside
from all these, however, she DESIGNS
her gowns, embroiders and engages in
animal breeding, being very fond NJ
dumb beasts and well acquainted with
their habits, and is also an enthusiast
tic student of plant life. No matter
what is on the taps, she never misses
her morning hour with her fencing
master. When one considers that ths
great French actress is over 60 years
OF age, and that in addition to all
these fads and interests she works Ia
'ooriously as an actress before audi
ences which expect the highest art pos
sible on the stage, one sees what can
be accomplished In many lines bv

SINGLE LIVES.

However noble and benehcent single
lives may be, says writer in the
New York Evening Post. we cannot
fail to realize that men and women
were created to make each other hap
py with a pure and joyous partnership
in which the whole requirements of
our hearts are satisfied. When, alone,
men and women live exalted lives in
the name of humanity, or science, or
devotion to some great purpose, we
may rejoice that they have been en-
dowed with power to so bless the
world, yet what we hope for in our
children is that they shall marry hap
PLY and create other centers of pure
Joy. We want them to make good
wives and husbands. yet we let them
grow up greedy of pleasure, selfish in
securing what they want, and self
centered in everything.
When we can produce a generation
of young men and women. content to
love each other and work for their
homes with brain and hands; when we
send forth our sons and daughters edu-
Gated to show their mutual love in for
bearance and forgiveness, then we shall
need no more legislation against d.
vorce. When each home is "A school
in which is taught the joy Of sacrifice,
the delight Of spending ones self for
the CARRYING out what makes the
charm of life to husband or wife. When
truth is the basis of love and fidelity
TO every promise the necessity of even
a child's life. then may we look for
a cessation OF these terrible traves-
ties of marriage in which men and
women bind and loose their fiimsy
bonds as II they were cobwebs.
At their mothers knee must children
learn what can alone enable them to
bear with human inflrmity in love and
make each home a reflex OF Paradise.

TRICKS WITH WOMENS EYES.

do you want pair of pretty eyes?'
asked, says the New York Sun, a
beauty specialist of customer whose
eyes were not her best feature. eff
so, listen to my words.
'"They are changing the color of the
eyes nowadays and I can tint yours this
shade or that shade and alter them
expressly to suit your face. But you
must assist me.
"It is all a question of light and
shadow. You can make your eyes
deep in tone or you can make them
faded.
For my part I like deep toned eyes
and faded eyes are disagreeable to me
Deep eyes do not always go with a
sympathetic nature, but they have a
sympathetic look.
IF your eyes look like the limpid
wells you may be sure that you will
get sympathy, whether you deserve it
or not. But if they look faded or
washed ,out no one will like you.
That is strange, but it is pretty near
to being the truth.
1.-THE prettiest eyes belong to wom-
en- who cry great deal. Tears cleanse
the eyes; they rinse out the tear duct;
they carry with them the dust and
the accommodations of the eyelids and
they leave the eyes bright and pretty,
even though a trifle swollen.
MANY a woman can cry without
making the lids swell and these women
are fortunate indeed. At the slight
est trouble, or sign Of trouble, off they
go into state of historical weeping
which relieves the feelings and leaves
the woman bright and active again.
After this spell of tear shedding the
eyes shine bright as day, and the wom-
an who was pretty before becomes abb
solutely irresistible.
1.-THE mental effect of tear shedding
is tremendous. The woman who can
throw herself into paroxysms of weep
ing really goes into a state of coma.
while crying violently she can feel
no pain or grief. There is a convul-
sive and hysterical excitement which
kills grief or deadens it.
From this state of crying the wom-
an energies rested in mind and beauti-
full in face. The slightly swollen ap-
pearance quickly subsidies, and then she
is prettier than ever. So cry if you
want to look pretty
But for the woman who does not
want to cry there are other ways of
making the eyes attractive, and one of
these is by keeping the lids and lashes
in good order.
''Do not cut the lashes and do not
apply ointments to them. Oils will
make the eyes smart, even though they
may make the lashes grow a trine
longer. Better keep the lids in good
condition, and then the lashes will
grow of their own accord
''The real cause of short, poor lashes
is an Inflammation Of the eyelids. They
become injured by dust, and the wom-
an rubs them. Then the lids redden.
a slight Inflammation sets in and the
lashes fall out.
Don't rub the eyes. but IL they feel
infiamed as though something were in
them, take a little boracic acid and
battle them. Buy cents worth of
borax powder. Put i'm a saucer Of
water a teaspoon of the borax powder,
cover II with warm water, let stand
two or three minutes until 1t is clear,
and then battle the eyes.
"Opening the eyes under water is a
