The exercise and expression of ones powers was
the only real life they said, and in the case of
with the beauty and dramatic gifts of Mary
Anderson the stage would be reckoning constant

Years passed, and she did not respond. Yet it is
an adage in the rough that you never tell about
a woman. Until the end she may be expected to
change her mind 1t occurred to me last spring
that Mary Anderson might yield to the prompt

a number of prominent persons, who had known her

desire was strong that Our Mary return to inspire

White the eminent architect, who an old friend

After the first performances the manager does not
watch the stage usually except for business reasons
but night after night l used to stand in front,
because, however old the story of the play might

At her Long Branch cottage She gave a tea-party
on the lawn. The tables were spread there. The
grass was our carpet and the branches OF trees our

partake of refreshment, and the merriest of all was
the girl who the night before had been the stately
Galatea.
Afterward we went rowing on the little lake that
boat 1t sank deep into the water but our hostess
insisted upon taking the oars, and she pulled with
a sure and lusty stroke. We sang, and with the
rhythmic swaying Of her body and dipping of the
blades she kept time. She was not Mary Anderson
the actress now, but Mary Anderson the high
spirited girl with the world before her.
After the Booths Theater engagement Miss
Anderson toured the country, winning national fame
She went to London and duplicated her American

people everywhere came to speak Of her as Our

More than three-fourths of these con-
