Miss SIannering's Home Life.

Mary Mannering is fond Of outdoor life
Her principal diversions are golf, driv-
ing. and automobiling She does a pro-
digious amount of walking all the year
round. Her love Of nature Is almost
primitive in its intensity Asked once
what was her greatest ambition, ITO
lead such normal life that I can get
up every morning in time to see the
sun rise" she answered. Often she viii
dismiss her carriage and Tevel in facing
wind and weather on foot reaching the
theater i'm a gale Of laughter and nigh
spirits. It is this abundant vitality, this
capacity OF getting fun out Of things
which annoy or bore most people, that
gives charm to her art and vivacity to
her personality.
For a time Miss Mannering had a
house in New York but now her only
home is her country place in the CatSkill
Mountains This she calls "Highmount. -
and from the windows OF the house there
is a glorious view Of dozen mountain
peaks. The house is a large one OF CO.
lonial architecture.
Her estate consists Of 400 acres, and
only a small part Is laid out in lawn,
garden, and driveways. That portion Of
her possessions which she has allowed TO
remain in original wildness is criss-
crossed by mountain streams cleft by
deep ravines and overgrown with net
work Of vines and forest trees that have
never known the woodlands axe Here
the happiest hours Of Miss Mannering s
life are spent. and thitner she goes i'm
mediately after her professional work
ends for the season, which is usually to-
ward the end Of May, and there she re-
mains until the end Of September.

the season before, or even of remOter
date. But there is a steady call from
these companies for something new. and
the authors ana managers are at their
wits end all the time to meet this de
mand so that the old things may not
splutter out before there is something
new. or SO revamDed as to seem new, TO
take their places and keep the theaters
from the horror Of dark nights during the
season. Under these conditions it isn't
surprising, perhaps, that the faded
authors and composers are tempted TO

an hour in telling in dramatic form
Some Of the Chicago dramatic critics are
waking UP in the night, apparently. to
walIow in worshipful reverie on the mar

ton of Ibsen's Peer Gynt." The most
worshipful of the ecstatic choir seems
TO have exhausted himself searching for

ProdS from a Prima Donna.

Camille D'ArviIle is a philosopher as
well as an artist She thinks and writes
almost as well as she sings. But some
of the things she says are not as fat
tering to our vanity as her high notes
are TO our ears In a recent article the
prima donna had this to say about pres
ent-day ,lonners:
"Our manners are a failure. We have
no time for old-fashioned formalities,
There is only one pol.teness-the polite
ness of the heart-as a great Frenchman
termed it. But then such sentiment needs
refinement, and il is sad fact that re-
fnement is not the genius Of our age.
Men have not, perhaps, degeneTated so
greatly in this respect as women, and yet
refinement used to be pre-eminently a
feminine chara acteTistic. In losing it
woman has failed in her own peculiar
sphere. No enc viii deny that a great
deal Of rOughness, rUdeness, and i'll nature
exists now which would have shocked our
grandmotbers, and that such manners as
they would have regarded with horror are
simply passed over with Indifference
