Her father, Richard Harding Davis, who dled when she was 18 months old, was the famous writer. His “Gal- A ‘Clp‘t Macklin,” “Princess of Fortune” and Van Bibber stm’lu are still models of their kind.

Educated in Many Places. “When persons are very ill,” she said, “it is freqient for them to see those they love and remember, but Il tell you of something Ienever have been able to explain. A short time after Riclfard Harding Davis' death Mrs, Davis and I took Hope to Nova Scotia. One night she isy and cried. ~We .couldn't find anything wrong, but she appeared to be looking at a spot on the wall. Her mother thought perhaps an old daguerreotype which hung there reflected light in the baby's eyes. She took it down, but Hope started to cry min Suddenly she stgpped.

The plane was to slide down a wire from the roof. The first time they rehearsed it some- lhlxgestuck, and mother was guspended n plane for hours before the fire department could get her down.” So that was why the girl who had played in a sister act as Lizzie McCoy, who had wished to change her name to Murlel, and who had been prevented from doing-so and hilled as Bessie Mc- Coy by Charles Dillingham, made her first big entrance in a chariot. Nor was this without its thrills.
