Nine Camille Theimeir. a widely
read Austrian authoress and maya
zine writer and an ardent advocate Of
woman suffrage, recently obtained an
audience with the Pope to interview
him on questions affecting her sex. The
Pope received her very graciously In
his private library, and in answer to
her questions said.
II approve the movement started in
Austria for lettering the social condi-
tions of women as long as it does not
conflict with Christian morality. We
all must work. I can assure you that
do much work myself. why, then,
should not women work also? They
should study and become, If they can,
lawyers and doctors-especially doctors,
as there is a great field for them
among women and children"
Piux x firmly drew the line on poll
| tics, "as enough mistakes are made in
that line of work by men"

1t would seem as though ostrich
feather, coque feather and maribou
feather boars and stoles were possessed
of the traditional nine lives credited to
the ordinary cat, for year after year
they make their appearance, always
sell for good prices AND always appeal
! irresistibly to womankind. There is
! considerable warmth in these feather
boas, but the fad is to wear them
thrown back on the shoulders, and in
that way, combined with sufficient van
| ity, they do not seem to be so warm or
heavy, and will be worn all summer
whenever there is the slightest excuse
for wearing them. The most expensive
are made of ostrich feathers in fiat
| shape, with long separate ends. The
maribOus are made in the same fashion
or are lined with satin instead, and
then have rounding ends rather than
the long separate ones, while the latest
fad is to have small bits of the ostrich
feathers scattered through the maribou,
that is, when the fiat stoles are worn
the ones lined with satin The cock
| feather boas are the least expensive Of
| all, and, in fact, are really very reason
able in price and are most attractive
and becoming. They are made to match
the color of the gown or the trimmings,
! but are rarely if ever seen in black or
dark cOlors, probably because there is
always a danger of the dye rubbing off.
The natural green cock feather is the
only exception to the rule. OF course,
the same objection exists in regard to
the maribou and ostrich feathers, but
not to anything like the same extent.

Ellen Terry has just celebrated her
golden jubilee as an actress. Few stage
favorites retain good health and capa-
city for the long period of fifty years

boy, Mamilllus, the young Prince OF
Stella. The first words she uttered

Leontes CKean): Art thou my boy?"
The lads answer being "Aye my
good lord"
Her elder sister, Kate Terry, appear
ed as the servant to the Old shepherd

lycus. Mrs Kean was the Hermione

line Heath (afterward Mrs. Wilson
Barrett) and the late Charlotte Lee

ohildren's parts, including those OF
pantomime, during her connections
with the Kean management, and a few
years later obtained valuable expert
