JANAUsCHEK.-This celebrated tragic
actress will appear at the Richmond Thea
tire on Monday evening next, and remain
five nights. OF her and the drama in
which she will make her first appearance,
the New York Tribune says


"There was large audience at the
academy-and a large audience there
would be a dense throng almost anywhere
else. Mary Stuart, hackneyed though it
be, has distinct popularity.
Madam Janauschek has often played the
part and, as often, has aroused puplic en-
thusasm by an emotional power
that is really peerless, and that
carries all beyond it like whirl-
wind. This she again manifested last
night in the great third act of the drama,
which was received with such spontaneous
and emphatic applause as comes from the
heart of the people only when deeply
touched. 1t is upon this act that attention
nightly centres in Mary Stuart But
Janauschek was equally touching in the
pathetic scene that closes the drama, and
her Mary Stuart will take its place at once
among the best dramatic successes of this
remarkably brilliant season."

woman's business to please. don't cay that
it is not her business TO vote, but do say that
the woman who does not please is false note
IN the harmonies of nature. She may not
have youth, or beauty, or even manner, but
she must have something in her voice or ex-
preston, or both, which makes you feel
better disposed toward your race to look at or

and her first question after you have been
talking your soul into her consciousness is,
Did l please? A woman never forgets her
sex. She would rather talk with man than
an angel, any day. Womanly women are
very kindly critics, except to themselves, and
now and then to their own sex. The less
there is of sex in woman, the more she is
to be dreaded. But take real woman at her
best moment-well dressed enough to be
pleased with herself, not so resplendent as to
be show and sensation, with varied out
side influences that set vibrating the harmonic
notes of her nature string in the air about
her-and what has social life to compare with

and feeling with her that make an hour me-
