MISS FFALY AND IRVING.
Young Star Relishes Recollections Of
the Late Actor.

Miss Maude Fealy, the dainty little
star of Martha Morton's latest dra-
matte triumph, THE Illusion of Bea-
trice" chershes a number of fond
recollections of the late Sir Henry Ir-
wing. with whom she had the honor
Of appearing as leading lady one en-
tire season in London and the Eng
lish provinces.
The following. Miss Fealy says, will
always cause her a hearty laugh. It
happened on an opening night in one
OF the provincial cities, while Miss
Fealy was with the eminent actor.
When she was introduced to her son,
lin the play, Of course), Sir Henry
looked at her rather critically and
then at the son, and remarked; "My,
but your son is whopper." Be-
cause the laws OF England are very
strict against young children appear
ing on the stage, Miss Fealy jokingly
suggested getting a dwarf to play the
part instead Of the big chap originally
cast for IT. This Sir Henry thought a
capital idea, and did as she suggested.
In certain scene OF the play, the
hero, with the child In his arms, had
to make flying leap across a chasm.
The first night the gentleman playing
the hero was very nervous and kept
pacifying the supposed child by say
ing: There, there; It will be all right;

JAPAN'S GREAT STRIDES.
Began With Introduction of Buddhism
i'm $50

Jersey City Nov. 22.-Samasuka
Mokinura, the well known Japanese
writer in the course of a lecture here
tonight, after tracing the history of
Japan from the earliest times until
the country embraced the religion of
Budha in the year $50 said 1t was
from this date, until 1926, when Chris
'tianity seized the land, that extraor-
dinary changes took place in the coun-
try. The Introduction of Buddhism
destroyed the barbaric practices that
prevailed and placed the religious life
of Japan upon an ethical moral basis:
the teachings of Budha being the step
ping stone from nature worship to the
purer conception of the religion of
Christ.
With the opening of the ports Of
Japan came the contact with the occi-
dent. and Japan became eager to
adopt everything which belonged to
western civilization. The western
home life. the western dress, and the
western religion We're assiduously af-
fected and reaction soon followed.
In Japan for the past Is years,
there has been an enormously vide
acceptance Of western ideas and the
new Japan is being constructed not
alone on the basis of western concep-
tions of morals and religion, but upon
the best ideas prevailing in both the
occident and the orient. In conclu-
sion he said that not alone were the
Japanese able at present to compete
commercially with any country in the
world but It was hoped by his coun-
trymen that in the very near future
Japan would be second to none among
the nations.

The Population Of Heaven.

Moncure ID. Conway in his reminis-
cences relates a story that was told
him by Helen Taylor. the stepdaugh-
ter of John Stuart Mill. While in Scot
land she called on a poor woman who
had lost her little SON. The mother
refused to be consoled, saying:
What troubles me is they be all men
folk up there in heaven and won't
know what to do for him."
1t appears, therefore, that the New
York preachers who have announced
that there are no women angels can
not be accepted as the discoveries of
this great and interesting fact.

Where the road bent, Meta selected
a tempting tuft Of grass and seated
herself upon it, depositing her numer-
Gus small packages on the plat of
green beside her. The great sun hat,
scarlet with peoples, she had been
wearing all day, fell back at a toss of
her head and she clasped both hands
over n knee.
For a long time she sat silent, medi-
tatiye, weary with the days shopping,
yet happy as the smiles that crossed
and recrossed and sometimes fingered
about her fresh young face.
Dusk shadows presently began to
choke away the pretty pink haze and
paint a sober coat wei the brilliant
September foliage. The musical tin
kle of cowbells and the calves answer
ing bleat mingled family in the dis
lance and reminded Meta that it was
getting late. With a little half-sigh
of regret she started to her feet, then
slipped back again swiftly. as the
familiar clatter of a horses hoofs
sounded less than fifty feet away.
Flashes of scarlet quivered in her
cheeks as Ericsson rounded the bend
and drew rein.
"Alone?" he asked, dismounting.
She nodded and set to work col
lecting her packages with sudden u
concern.
1T isn't safe for young ladies to be
abroad at this hour" remarked he,
somewhat gravely.
"oh, but I'm different" answered
Meta, with a defiant toss of Der head.
Ericsson did not speak at once. Her
words. Insignificant enough in their
own import, had struck a queer chord
within him that caused him to draw
a quick breath and shut MS teeth
hard to keep back the thoughts that
fought for utterance.
Il know that you are-very differ
snt," he said, after a while.
The girl looked up with a swift
question in her eyes, surprised out Of
her usual reserve by the odd tote in
his voice.
He stood staring down at her for
a moment, his hands deep in his trous-
ers' pockets, then he dropped abrupt
ly to the grass beside her. and COM
menced in a mechanical little fashion
to toy with the long, slender blades.
There's something l want to tell
you-must tell you," he said, some
what unsteadily, his eyes fastened to
the blur of tree tops in the distance.
Meta caught her breath quickly
and her lashes 1ickered. For the mo
ment a sort of panic possessed her to
jump up and run as fast as she could,
but the reaction of a deeper joy than
any she had yet known, held her
m~otionless.
"Well?" she queried, smiling. her
voice low to hide its trembling.
81 think l ought to tell you," he
replied soberly. that I am going to be
married-soon."
For a full minute the girl did not
take her eyes from his face; the smile
that a little while ago mad leaped to
her lips, froze to sudden bitterness.
Why do you think that you ought
to tell me-this?" she faltered, with
a terrible effort at control.

sponded slowly, because of the
friendship that has existed between

time she sat staring in a Gull way

involuntarily clenched themselves in
