They held stormy meetings, at which all hands would Pitch into the debate, and then after adjourn- ment they would all attend a dance and have a gloriously good time of it, This was kept up until the funds were all spent and a big debt of about $10,000 or more was accumulated in Seattle and Port Townsend.

New York Letter to Philuielphia Timea, I saw Lotta during the week and the little actress seems to be enjoying her rest hugely. Although the richest single woman in the world who has eurned her own money she does not seem at all burdened with business cares. She bas a hotel in Boston, adjoining her Park theater, which she owns, She figures among her assets a flat house in New York and lots of real estate in different parts of the country. Yet she does not bother with its management. Her shrewd mother, who has saved all this money, takes all the responsibility of itscare and Lotta is lett to enjoy herself. After this year of rest and pleasure in the United States she is going to take a trip to Europe, and it has not yet been decided whether she will work next grippe. timers and his Year or not. She is old enough and rich enough to enjoy the balance of her life out of the theater. ————_ce+—_____ Holland’s Youthful Princess.
