know something about the story Of her
new play, Maggie PEPPER which
was written for her by Charles Klein.
Maggie Pepper is the product Of a

started in as a cash girl. and by hard
word and natural ability, rises, until
she holds an important position as as;
sistan; buyer in this institution. she
has not neglected her mind during
these. years Of labor, but has kept pace
with her Advancement, by spending
her nights in study. At the opening OF
the play, she Is siill the diamond In

to her emotions and feelings, by a re-
lapse to the y%ernacular OF the streets.
