country which attracts artists of every port" he declared, "and in time these will bring forth the true and representative artist in all the artistic professions.
 Until this country has produced its own art-and that time is not far distant-it will serve to stimulate that of other countries.

 Among the interesting events schod- uled for New York and other cities this year will be a brief enza cemon of the Society of Ancient Instruments which is a French importation under the auspices of the celebrated French 4 American Association for Musical Art. This organization of noted musical artists renders a program of music of ancient period. and on instru- ments bearing date sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is the only organization in existence which uses such instruments. Except for their appearances the only knowledge mu- sicians and music lovers gain of ancient instruments is gleaned from the encyclopedias and reference books on ancient music.
 The music has been selected from the historical collections in museums and libraries in this country and every country of Europe Some of the manuscripts are so aged as to make it almost impossible to decipher the notes. But when it has been prop erly transferred, and rendered by these artists on their quaint instru- ments, it is a musical treat.

to our assistance then as she did when
 we needed her so badly on the French front. And while there are many crit
 ics of our managers who are bringing
 American plays and players by the
 ship-load, they are but filling the de-
 mand for such plays and players
 which has been created by the good
 work done by our cousins from across the water
 The last week brought from London @ still heavier demand for such enter
 tainment, and strange to say, the
 same steamer which brought this brought also letters from many well known London players seeking Amer
 fcan engagements. One manager de-
 clares that he received IS such letters. Madame RuanO Bogislav, the Amer
 ican singer of folk songs and one of our most original and artistic enter tainers, is a late recipient of Q Lon don invitation for her professional ap- pearance, which shows how quickly the foreign agents work. Madage Bo- gislav is Q woman of commanding presence, magnetic personality and remarkable dramatic inEtinct, pos ses5ed of a marvelously sympathetic voice. Her work in New York last winter was immediately recognized. ) claimed here they wanted her for London, which is her highest com pliment. As an exponent of Russian lfolk-songs and gypsy creations, she stands without @ peer on the interna- tional stage, and music lovers. no less than those who favor dramatic art, find in her a distinct gain to the stage.
 Madame Bogislav is the wife of Ric- cardo Martin, the American opera tenor

THE SEAMY SIDE
 OF BROADWAY

New York, Sept. 50.---When favorite actors and actresses are not engaged
 in what is pOpularly termed a pro duction," they seek vaudeville plays for their professional use. When the successful musical comedy. 'Oh, Boy" closed its season after what seemed to the members to have been a century of work, the active members, such as 1 Charles Compton, it's leading man, made it known that he was seeking a bright vaudeville comedy. He re- |ceived many, among them being one of obtuse theme.
 He shortly received a request from the author to return it, but before he could accommodate him, another let ter was received from the budding playwright.
 ''I sent you a good play a few days | ago. he wrote to MT. Compton. but ! I have not heard from you since and I was afraid it might have been lost Have you seen it2'
 TT received the play MT. Compton admitted, and have read it. But I cant see it."
 It was believed that New York had all the theatres it could support Ap- parenly there is no limit to the mum Der that ambitious owners may con struct and hope to fill with eager pat rons. There are more than fifty first
 class playhouses devoted to legitimate
 plays, dramas and musical comedies with two grand opera houses, a score of prominent vaudeville houses and
 innum erable moving picture theatres of the second, third, fourth and sev- enteenth class, and a dozen first-class ones. There are midnight playhouses . In fp s7 the gamut is run all along the line % houses where one may see plays and hear them acted in French, Italian, Siciliau, Yiddish, Spanish, Chinese, and German
 This would appear to be the limit of possibilities. but Madame Sonia, Serova, a talented dancer a creator
 of more dances than any performer now before the public, and otherwise a general dance authority, has a new | plan which will be carried out this year. She is to establish in New York ] a theatre which will be devoted ex- clusively to the dance in it's variety. including especially the classical | dances which are the only forms l made permanent. The new. dances, Isuch as the "shimmy," grizzly bear | tango and the like do not remain | with us long. But the graceful ryth- | mic classical dance is always a source ! of delight and pleasure.
 1 New York needs a theatre of the dance more than anything else of a l theatrical character Madame Serova
 asserts. The dance has a guardian in l the association of dancing masters of | the country, but it is nomadic at best,
 and must be permanent to enjoy it's
 i greatest popularity. If such a theatre
 l wins success, as we have every reason | to hope alNl expect, it will stimulate | terpsichore and place it in it's rightful ! position among the arts. Now it is i the steD-child of both the drama and music

A Ride and a Pillow Fight

w nlLe f1OuS6, OClODcl 1Js 1JVO. DEAR KERMIT:
 was much pleased at your being made captain of your eleven. l would rather have you captain of the third eleven than playing on the second.
 Yesterday afternoon Ethel on Wyo- ming, mother on Yakenka and on Renown, had a long ride, the only in cident being meeting a large red aut- omobile which much shook Renown's nerves, althouh he behaved far better than he has hitherto been doing about automobiles. In face, he behaved so we'll that I leaned over and gave him a lump of sugar when he had passed the object of terror-the old boy eag- erly turning his head around to get it. It was lovely out in the country, with the trees at their very best of the fall coloring. There are no red naples here, but the Virginia creepers and some of the dogwoods give the red, and the hickories, tulip trees and beeches a brillian yellow sometimes almost orange.
 When we got home mother went up stairs first and was met by Archie and Quentin each loaded with pillows and whispering not to let me know that they were in ambush; then as l marched up to the top they assailed me with shrieks and chuckless of de- light and then the pillow fight ragged up and down the hall. After my bath I read them from Uncle Remus. Us ually mother reads them, but now and then, when I think she really must have holiday from it, I read them myself.

The Art of Uncle Remus Gro Joel Chandler Harris.)


 White House, October 12, 1901. MY DEAR HARRIS:
 It is worth while being president when ones small daughter receives that kind of an autograph gift. When l was younger than she is, my Aunt Annie Gulloch of Georgia, used to tell me some of the brer rabbit stories, especially brer rabbit and the tar baby. But fond though I am of the brer rabbit stories 1 think I am even fonder of your other writings. I doubt if there is a more genuinely pathetic tale in all our literature than Free Joe" Moreover I have felt that all that you write serves to bring our people closer together. l know, of course, the ordinary talk is that an artist should be judged purely by his art: but I am rather a Philistine and like to feel that the art serves good purpose. Your art is not only an art addition to our sum of national achievement, but it has also always been an addition to the forces that tell for decency, and above all for the plotting out O: sectional antagonism.

trainers l do not know. Rather to my surprise, Ronald has won golden opinions and really is very nice dog. Pickney loves him, and he sits up in the express wagon just as if it was what he had been born to.
 Quentin is learning to ride the pony. He had one tumble, which he remark ed philosophically, did not hurt him any more than when I whacked him with sofa cushion in one of our pill low fights. 1 think he will very soon be able to manage his pony by him. self. Mother has just taken the three children to spend the afternoon at Dr. RiXey's farm. l am hard at work on my message to Congress, and accord ingly shall not try to go out or see any one either this afternoon or even ing. All of this work is terribly pug zling at times, but I peg away at it. and every now and then, when the dust clears away and l look around, I feel that I really have accomplished a little, at any rate.
 think you stood well Tn your form, taking everything into account. I feel you deserve credit for being captain of your football eleven, and yet stand ing as high as you do in your class.

ouentin's First Fall

White House, Ictober A, 1903 DEAR KERMIT:
 Yesterday I felt rather seedy, hay ing a touch of Cuban fever, my only unpleasant reminiscence of the San tiago campaign. Accordingly, I spent the afternoon in the house lying on the sofa, with a bright fire burning and mother in the rocking chair, with her knitting beside me. l felt so glad that I was not out somewhere in the wilderness campaigning or hunt ing, where I would have to walk or ride all day in the rain and then lie out under a brush at night

peat that your standing in the class gave me real pleasure. l have sym pathized so much with your delight in physical prowress and have been so glad at the success you have had, that sometimes l have been afraid I have failed to emphasize sufficiently the fact that of course one must not sub vation of such prowress. By the way l am sorry to say that I am falling behind physically. The last two or three years I have had tendency to rheumatism or gout, or something of the kind, which makes me very stiff.
 Renown is behaving better about automobiles and the like. I think the difference is largerly in the way I handle him. He is a very good-nat- ured and gentle horse, but timid anl not over-wise, and when in a panic his great strength makes him we'll nigh uncomfortable. Accordingly, he is bad horse to try to force by any
 thing. If possible, it is much better to give him a little time and bring him up as gently as may be to the ob- ject of terror. When he behaves well I lean forward and give him lump of sugar, and now the old boy eagerly puts around his head when I stretch out my hand. Bleistein have ridden very little, because I think one of his forelegs is shaky, and want to spare him all l can. Mother and I have had the most lovely rides imaginable.
