MARY ANDERsoN'S WARDROBE.

when She Had but m Stage Costume

Three months elapsed between Mary

and her second performance, "a heart

ager Macauley of Louisville then offered
her his theater again for a week, and she
presented the chief roles in five plays

"Ths Lady Of Lyons" and "Romeo and
Juliet" OF her first weeks engagement
shs writes: AT the end Of the week was
In debt to the manager for the sun OF 81,
the house having been large enough only
to cover the running expenses. All l had
gained by q week Of hard work was q sad
heart and q very sore throat. Besides,
creditors became unpleasantly importu-

paid for. This consisted Of a white satin
dress, simply made, which did service for
all the parts. 1t sparkled In silver trim.

roses for Julia, became gay In green and
gold for Evadne and cloudy with white
lace for Pauline. The unfortunate gown
owed its many changes to the nimble and
willing fingers Of my mother, who spent
much time each day In Its metamorphoses.

which, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought
would be so useful but which had to be
discarded after It's first appearance, COM

for five pls7s of Ave acts each, requiring
at least 10 gowns. We had built up
financial as we'll as artistic hopes for that
week and were disappointed in both. But
It proved more successful than was at first
thought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar,
one Of the greatest Falstafs Of bis time,
engaged me for six nights at his st. Louis
theater. At the end Of that time I found
myself in his debt for the sum Of $500, but

A little girl went with her mother to see

filled with her trophies, besides odd plates
and dishes, bearing indisputable marks OF

the walls.

call, and while her mother and the china
collector talked Of matters Of mutual In.

Household Arrangements.

Household Arrangements.
IL seems to be a part Of the real SIM
plicity Of the Italian Latin to put on .
quito useless look Of mystery on all COCA
sions, and to assume the air of a conspir.
ator when buying q cabbage, and more
than one great foreign writer has fallen
Into the error Of believing the italian
character to be profoundly complicated.
One Is apt to forget that 1t needs much
deeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ance of frankness under trying oircum.
stances than to make a mystery OF ones
marketing and q profound secret OF ones
cookery. There are few things which the
DOOR italian more dislikes than to be
watched when he is buying and preparing
his food, though he will ask any n to
share it with him when 1t Is ready, but he
Is almost as prone to hide everything else
that goes on inside his house unless he has
fair warning Of a visit and full time to
prepare himself for 1t.
This Is perhaps not entirely . race pecul.
iarity, but rather a survival of medieval
life as 1t was all over Europe. There are
pretty clear indications in our own litera-
ture that the ladies and gentlemen Of two
or three hundred years ago did not like to
be caught unprepared by inquisitive Iisit-
ors. The silks and satins In whichthey
are portrayed would not have lasted q life
time, as they did, If they had been worn
svery day. AS for the cleanliness OF those
times, the less said about 1t the better.
In Rome there was q long psriod during
which not a single aqueduot was In work
Ing order, and it was a trade to clear o sup
ply Of water put Of the Tiber from a por'
ton of the yellow mud by letting 1t settle
In reservoirs, and to sell it in the streets
for all household purposes. Who washed
In those daysf 1t is safer to ask the ques-
ton now than it would have been then.
Probably those persons washed who were
the fortunate owners Of a house we'll or .
rainwater oistern, and those who had
neither did not. Perhaps that was very
much the same all over Europe. 1t Is Ger.
