But why speak of languages? Love, you know, is universal; it has but one language, and 1t is known throughout the world; it is

 Referring to some telegrams and letters from Miss Farrar, M. Tellegen spoke of
 her daily letters and wires, giving an ac-

 politan- Opera, and especially of the mo- tices she has recently had in 'Thais"

 Tellegen, s'she has two new roles to create this season. It is the same with me; I have just completed a new play; I study, work, read--a1l the time; we are not like most professional people; play in the evening and then let things go

 And how will you manage the separa- ton between you and the beautiful Miss Farrar for so long?' I asked as he spoke of his trip west which will not terminate until next March.
 "Ah, I cannot so to her" he sighed, and then quickly brightening he said: "But she can come to me and will do so; we shall spend the holidays together in the west"
