T ' $ 1892—-SIXT'EEN PAGES ;'IIE DOMAIN OF THE FAIR SEX ¥ £teady Advance of Women in tho Trades and Professions, WHY IS DENTISTRY OVERLOOK:D? A Bit of Domestic Life—~The Queen of Cal- ifornia Frult Growers—A Mother's Instruction—Fashion Notes and Personalities, The steady encroachment of women in all the trades and professions heratofore monopo- lized by men is a conspicuous feature of mod- orn progress. Cry out as they will against tho aggressive march of fomininity, the mas- ouline lords acknowledge that their privi- loges are no longer exclusive. The womén have coms to stay in various fields of endea- vor. Tholr march Is irresistible. Colleges ‘Which have for centuries barred their doors 10 the fair sex have capitulsted and now por- -«mit women to arink of the rountain of higher knowledge. In the pulpit, the rostrum, the hustings, their number is steadily gro\\;mfli Already they enjoy a practical monopoly ol teaining ma’ynux):ny ides how to shoot in the common schools. ‘The professjon of dentistry appears to be ono cf the fow that do not attract the push- ing fair sox, Tho fact is ull the more sur- Pprisivg because, according to the estimate of an Omaha dentist, 75 per centof their pa- wons are women. Tho large oxcess 1s charged to the differont habits of the sex. Outdoor work and exercise contribute to the henitn of *qcth us to bodily health of mon. Women . ghe other hand are too much in- doors and are tco fond of sweetmeats, tho latter the greatest foe of sound teeth, 10 suggesL that women prefer to patron- ize the opposite sex. Let them. The men would rally in droves to the toothsome par- lors of the lady dentist. Who would care dor tho pangs of & throbbing molar in the presence of a dental divinityl! Imagine the 'Dyful anticipation a man would feel as a ady dentist gently but firmly grasped his forelock (provided he had one), jammed tho nippers into the gums and yauked a trouble- some tooth, The chances are that an Omaba lady will break ¢he charm and become a full-fledged dentist. She is already woll advanced in the rudiments of the protession, nud dex- terously wields & hammer notmany miles from the corner of Fifteenth and Harney streots, Of more than average height, at- _tractive in appearance, and quite Bos- tonesque in features, it 18 more than possi- ble that, should sne carry out hor esolves and fling her “shingle” to the breeze, she would command more business than her masculine rivals ever dreamt of. d Py The poor littlo woman was travoling from Baitimore to Chicago on the Baltimore & Ohio with six small children, writes Kate Field, Three of them were ill, and she had .her hands and lap more than full. Every one in the car tried throughout the day io do ‘What they could to alleviate her sufferings. A kinaly old gentleman playod with the not 100 inyiting 2-year-old, and a jolly commer- clal traveler kept the wigglivg and inquisi- tive oldest boy as quiet as possible with stor- fes of his own boys at howe. Dainty ladies opened well-stocked traveling bags to the mwany necessities of tne little brood, and the traveling public seemed disposed to show its utmost kindliness to the cverburdened womnn. The only person who stowed no fnterest was an insignificantsnub-nosed little man who sat in the back of the car and read newspapers. At last bodtime cume, and tho porter made up a couple of sections in which the tire¢ mother might bestow her offspring. ‘When they were safely scttled, the passen- gers were rendercd almost speechicss by the conduct of the little snub-nosed man, who 8kulked down the aisle and crawled into the berth where the woman was bushing a wail- ing child. When it dawued upon them that bo was the husband and father of their pro- tégees, it took all the persuasion of the cooler-headed to prevent an immodiate mob- bing. 0 The queen of California fruit growers is Mrs. Kmma P, Buckingham of Vacaville. She has a fruit ranch comprising several hundred acres, a farm mansion, and shios fruit almost by the trainioad. “By a sudden change of fortune a few years ago,” the lady recently recounteq, 1 Feaiized that 1 must also make some changes. 4 had been surrounded by enough wealth to make life, if not luxurious, &t least 50 pleas- ant as to hover cause a thought of the future. We lived at the fiuest hotel in tho city, and our hands were as unsoiled by toil as our minds were free from business. “fyben the change came, I thought of a small runch and atteution to fruit. Friends sought to dissuade me. They said I had no knowledge of what was required to make a success of it, and forthwith intimated that I might_find ‘it u louely, uncongenial experi- ence i which failure might mark the end. But I had a taste tor it, and was determined 10 go abead, 1 began with a few acres, Neighbors were good to me. Practical fruit Erowers gave me advice. 1 began to be suc- cessful, Then I bought more lana and Pplanted moro trees, ““There is no reason why any woman can- not make o success of fruit growing. Near me 15 & lady who two or three years ago came there from New York. She knew nothing at all about fruit, but now, purely because of her individual energy aud finavoial fore- sight, she has @ profitable fruit farm, and besides is buying and shibping whole trains of Iruit to Denver, Omuha, St. Louis, Cbi. cago and New York, I tnink wowen, when they give their attention to it, can make as much of a success of frult growing as men, Hulf your success 1s assured when you really think you will suceced.” - >~ ¥\ ‘The mother's suspicions were aroused and that night when the young wan left the house, says the Dotroit Iree Press. and the daughter camo upstairs, sho interviewed her. izabeth,” she saia sternly, “didn't 1 hear Mr, Smipley kissing you in the patlor 88 1 came along tho hall{” 'No, manima, you didn’t,”” responded the daughter smphaiically. “Woll,didn’t he try to kiss yout" persisted the wother. “Yes, mumma,” demuroly. “I knew it,’ sho said. “'Did you permit bimi" “No, ma’am, 1 did not. I told him you had alwiys taught me that I should not” permit 8uy Young man to Kiss me.” at was right, that was right, my dear,” snid the mother encouragiogly. “And what l!l)‘l be say to that” 'ha girl blushed, but was undaunted, “*He asked me if you had evor told me I was not to kiss a young man,” The mother bogan to foel that possibly :Im had omitted o vital liuk in her iustruc- 10nS. hat did you tell him? sho asked, “Lsaid I didn't remembor it, 1f vou had.” The girl stopped, and the mother broko out: “*Wall, go on, go on," guess that's what you heard, mother,” ;hd the daughter waited for the storm to urst. . ) There ls an {nheredt longing deep in the heart of each woman plodding slong this earth of ours 10 bo attractive. She thrives on admiration and grows plump at the rate of five pounds a week if u littlo love should be thrown In way. But the great question of how to galn affection, this love and *admiration which each man has it o s power 10 give Is somotimes of @ rather puz- wling pature to girls, espeolally those who bave no personal charms to attract. In couversation the other aay, says tbe New Yurk World, some charming girls were complalning of thelr lack of talent snd plain features, It was suggested to them to mako study of the art of boing pleasant. “Girls, you don't kuow what un offoct continued pleasantness bas upon & man," A woman who makes tue man whom she loves bollove that she knows not the mean- Ing of worry, and who wlways bas for hima gleu-nnllmlo and a word of welcome, will nd that tender thoughts of her are creeping . /@OwD furthor Into his hoart than thoso of the beauty whom she envies, The only way always to bo ploasant is to moko @ study of the art; convert it iuto a sclence and study it as such. A pleasant At home “is like a gleam of God's btest sunshine. Hor very preshoo ” sootbies, comfurts and cheers the beart of mun, . The Hungarian papbes report the death at the age of 62 of H‘m"}flfl-mn -:: nn‘d becu & louteuant o the Hungarian war for ¥ independence, and galned & modal for bravery on the field of battle. In 1848 Marie was 15 years of ago. Sho enrolled herself 1n a corps of volunteers without the slightest susplcion arsing as to her sex. For her courage in an engagement in which she was badly wounded {n ono foot she was re- warded with a licutenant's commission and decorated with a medal. Marie was after- wards transforred to a regiment of hussars, with the rank of first lioutenant, She might have gone furthier in the line of promotion but for the chance discovery of hor sex, whereuoon n_major who had long had & liking for the brave young officer married her, the wedding cerémony being porformea by the regimental ehaplain. Aftor her hus- band's death she suffered from poverty, but tortunatoly she attracted the notice of the Magyar post, Maurus Jokai, who pleaded her cause in verse with such effect that a sum of money was raisod to oase her aeclining years, “ An_ideal tea gown'is made after tho old iroek model of finest white samite, which can be pought under a less poetical namae at the wool places, and is re: a wool velling of exquisite texture. All tho borders of this graceful gown, according to the New York Sun, shoula bo wrought in the Greok key pattern in pale, soft blue, outiinod with just a throad of gold. The long, 100se seoves should bo linod with blue silk, as, indeed, should be the entire robe, and ' worn over whito ehina crape bishop siceves. Tho low, square neck should have a guimpe of the samo material as the sleeves, and the folds of drapery should be fastened on the shoul- der with & clasp of dult oid gold mado in the fashion of those with which the ancient Athonian beauties fastened the chiton in plice, when tho chiton with ite elasps and girdlo was the complete reguliu of fuil dross. And if her pot of gold were not exhausted 1n realizing this aream, o ‘“‘matineo” or loung- ing sack of coolest thinuest silk known to enstorn looms shonld b mado long, half lnoso to fit, but shapely, with full flowing slocves and u broad collar turned well away from the neck, edged everywhere with the fullest, softest {rills of fino croamy lace, like yellow foam on angry waters. There was an exciting time in the Broad- way hotel in Denver the other day, In tho morning Miss Kmma Snow, a waitre bustled into the dining-room and explain to her associates that sbo had fallen heir to something liko $400,000. She exhibited pa- pers from England informing her that a rela- tive haa died, leaving $2,000,000, and sho was one of tho five boirs to i The fortu- nato girl was overjoyed with her good luck. She had been at work only 8 short time in the hotel and probably considered herself very forfuaate in getting the place. The other employes congratulated her and so did maay of the guests, She immediately re- signed herplace and 15 now waiting for her legacy to come. . " The current numbet of the ‘Shoo and Leather t'acts contains some valuable sug- gostions about women’s shoes, Among other things the writer says that no woman can make a mistake as to tho correct footgear for tho season. | For everyday wonr white can- vas tios ona boots are. tho stylo. They ar tipped and trimmed with patent leather: white eanvas ties have also a white kid tip. Russe!, shoes and those of tan leather are also much worn. A novelty is the walking boot of Russian leather, with the uppers of white buakskin, Slippérs of black suede are perfectly. plain, save for the presence of some remarkabie gilt buckles over tho instep. Nothing more plainly illustrates that the girl of tho period is partial to things antique thaa her persistent foudness for the long- trained skirt. Ivis found, o investigation, that this abominable costume was vented first in Bugland by Anne. queen of Richard 1L, nearly 500 years ago. ‘I'his was probably the first streot-cleaning apparatus to o in- vented, This same quoen shonld also bo biamed for the large hats, those of abnormal size, with great flaring orims, intimate rela- tives of our theater-bonnels how in vogue. Surely this estimable woman had much to be responsible for. In four weeks time the Woman’s clubof Chicago raised $118,190 toward the §200,000 funa needed for the erection of dormitories for the wowmen students of the new univer- sity, Of this sum Elizaveth G. Kelly gave £50,000 and Nancy Foster, widow of the late Dr. Foster, £0,000. This liberality on the part of women for women’s education marks the beginning of & new opoch. Hitherto gifis from women donors have been devoted to benevolent purposes or to the uid of mon’s in- stitutions of learning. Late Fashion Notes. Cnangeable silk parasols are known as the Diana. Gold pins have arrived to fasten the sus. vender on the snoulders. Quaint touches of orange in 8 gray gown seem to have found favor. Opal beetles glitter among the lace and gauze trimmings of a Parisian capote. The Piceadilly tie is a pointed affair, which may only ba worn by the girl with narrow, tapering feet. . Speckled dimities may ba fashioned into antique looking morning rabes with tho ad- dition of a gidlo. Perfume atomizers, the rubbver covered with silver netting and the giass with per- forated silver, are seen in great abundance, Breakfast jackets are made of flowered da- laines and nainsook, and trimmed with Va- lenciennes lace and ribhous the exact shade of the pattorn, Black silk Russian blouses trimmed with silver cord and black Russian !ace, and belted with old silver girdles, are among the striking things worn by artistic women. The fashion of the moment in_jewels is to mount the pins and stars and floral sprays on a black or red ribbon arranged across the frout of the bodice from right to left. Tiaras are less worn thun formerly by ladies of high degroe. Striped gauzes with a filet or thread of black in esch stripe are very pretty trans- parenc r freshoning tho silk gowns of last summer, The gauze may be of the color of the silk*or in contrast to it, the latter im- parting a shot effect. Many of the sashes of ribbon and silk now worn have the ends fiuished in some way, either cut out in points and a wide fall of lace or chiffon fastened in tho end, or with ribbon fringo or a jet fringe. It isa graceful faney and gives great vaviety, India mull, being somewhat more durable aud nearly as dolicate and airy as chiffon, has in o measure supplanted the latter tex- tilo In general favor. Dresses of mull ure very simple in stvie, and are frequently made up over tinted batiste iastead of surah. Do women, then, dress only for men's eyes, after allf Well, porbaps in hot weather, Butthe fashions of the present season aro so adupted to comfort that a woman may be both fashionable snd com- fortable, which certainly 1sa step towara dress reform, Somo of the new dress bonnets are bril- liant with jewelled aigrottes mingled in ar- tistic fashion with tulle and other diaphan- ous textiles. A glimpse of tiimy gold foliage or gold thistles and silver danoelion blows, apposrs among the fleecy clouds of gauzo of spangled vet. Corsages adornod with crossed draperies simulatiog a fichu continue to be very fash- lounble, the draperies covering whe shoulders entirely, and leaving only an open V, o else cut down on the shouldors very low like the fashionabloe corselet over a fancy waist of another matorial. Tne gowns of neglige effect are of white lawn, trimmed elaborately with very narrow ribbon. The yoke and sieeves are of em- broidery, through which the ribbon is run, tylng bere and there in diminutive bows. A desp rufiie of the ribbonea embroldery is used as & teumming around the bottom of the gown. ‘The Tuscau hats this season are ingeni- ously woven aund are particularly protty, beautiful fawn-colored hat of this sort has an open work band about the brim that looks like amber passementerie. It is trimmed with reseda green tulle and has some rich damask roses nodding high on the crown at the back. Protty hot weather blouses are made of cream white Indie mull with full bishg sleeves and turndown collur edgea witl o slightly gathered frill of Valenolennes lace, 8 ruffie of the fume extending aown the front in javot fashion. White Viotoria lawn is also used in Lthe making of shirt waists and blouses for orainary wear. Tho crowning glory of summer dress is the Enrunl, which has been metamorobosed into ower belis and chalices, takiug the exact shape of roses and tulips, s green is very much the fashion, of & fine head of lettuce, Tune bsndles are of fine Dresden or Sevres china fa delicate garlands of flowers, the knot showing vhe powdered hoad of some fa- vorite of the French court. At every dress function it is decidedly u’ Parcul that Lwo materials lead the st of fa- g vorites for gowns—silks and crepons; that two kinds of trimming prevail, and these are lace and rivbon. Velvet ribbons in all colors and seldom more than an inch wide aro rarely absent from smart gowns, Another noticeable fact is that the newest of summer gowns are trimmed with an abundarce of black {nstead of white Ilace. It is more dressy, wo aro told, especially on thin, light materials, One of the prettiest of summer dressos is chiffon made over silkk. It requires almost no trimming, but may be shirred around tho neck, and—provided it is amolo enough —it will fall in graceful folds of its own devisine, Bands of lace insertion, often of black on & delicate tinted chiffon, are sometimes used. The lace bands go around the skirtor up and down 10 panols as tho taste aictates, and the boaice may bo entiroly made of alternate stripes of lace nad chiffon. Wealth 1s just now being reprezented by the outside as well as the 1nside of fashion- able pocketbooks. Some ure of whi'e ivory mounted 1n fine gola, and as a card caso are introducod, these are carried while catling, The newest article in small purses is a white kid hoart with a solid silver clasp and mono- gram. Another of red undressed kid is mounted in gold filigree, with & tiny watch showing its face from an outiined gold heart in one corner. An exquisito creation of white moire and snow-white frostwork lnce has a corselet of the moire running high at the shoulders, but deeply rounded at the bust. It is waistline length with a little point, frout and back. Beneath the corselet is worn a blouso of the lace, whose long skirt reaches nall way down the gown skirt. Above ithe corsclet the blouse makes a yoke that, is gatherad to a high-standing rufilo about the throat. The sleeves have moire tops finished below the elbow with wide rufiles of the lace. What Women Are Dolng. A Chicago woman washed a sotied garment in gusoline the other day and undertook to smooth it with a hot iron. She will spend the next month or two coaxing her eyebrows out again, A diamond ring belonging to a Dubuquo woman has been found 1n the pathway of a Wiscon:in tornado, whore it was lost in 1878, The strangest part of tho story is that the womun has nevor been an actress, Ono reason why Americags are so uni- formly courteous to women, says tho New York Herald, is because Amecrican freemen are naturally gentlemen. Another reason is that American women won’t stand any other sort of treatment. > Mrs. Delin S. Parnell, mother of the late Charles Stewart Parveli, is again at her home in Burliugton, up the Delaware. She is accompanied to Ironsides, her estate, by Miss Delia Dickinson, her granddaughter, out will return to [reland early in Septem- ber. Miss Jean Ingelow, though in her sixties, pursues her amiaole hobby of botanical study and flower cultivation, and keeps up her benevolont custom of giving three times 8 woek dinners to twelve poor persons freshly discharged from the hospitals of i.ondon. Josephine Werner, a New York confidence woman, with the exprassive alias of **Weep- ing Caroline,” has been sentenced to five years' imprisonmont for obtaining money under false protenses. For thirty, yoars sho bas bled tho charitable by way of Ler tear ducts and false stories, Mrs, Pottar Palmer will drive the last nail in the women’s building at the World’s fair. After it is put in place it wil ithdrawn and presented as a souvenir, The nail is composed of gold, silver and copper, and has an adjustable head resembling a brooch and containiog a Montana sapphire. ‘fho London Cigar and Tobacco World points to the increase in revenue from the weed as proof of the izcreased consumption of the *divine nerb” by women. It adds that smoking amonyg English ladies 1s a fash- ionabie habit, and that social canons no longer forbid their use of cigarettes as dis- gusting and unsutable. Jessie Bartlett-Davis has signed with the Bostonians for next sesson, but it is under- stood that in 1803-04 she will nave an opera company of her own. In fact, Mr. Al Hay- man has gone to Europe to recruit certain talent for the support of the prima douna contralto. A number of new operatic works will also ba contracted for, 1t being Mrs. Davis’ intention to mako a notable extension of her already large repertory. “'Sister Rose Giertrude,” otherwise Miss A. Fowler, who left a comfortable home 1n Eng- land to nurse the lepers on the Island of Molokal, and whose praises were sung by many a longue a fow vears ago, is now inSan Fraucisco with her husband, Dr. Lutz. Si: ter Rose is in excelient health. Sho was ma ried about a year ago. Both sheand her hus- band have left the Sandwich Islands perma- nently, and will probably remain in San Irancisco, Artificial field flowers on a foundation of white lace make the newest lamp shades. An inkstand, clock, calendsr and stamp box combined 1s oneof the “latest novelties.” Asparagus tongues and broad based servero have beeu brought outin numbers. Ths prefercnce seems equally divided botween them, A protty novelty is shown in lanterns, con- sisting of a porch lantern which is suspeded trom a uracket in the porch of the suburban home. Circular thermometers of ivory and its limitations, bound in perforated ornaments of silver, have the central pieces used as a calendar. Shaded and aull surface gold is very fash- ionable on porcelains. Oyster plates, with the receptacles for the oysters around the edge bordered witn gold shading inward and » flat center in which the goldfish 1s outlined, are new. The cheval glass 1s becoming more and more a necessary piece of furniture in the bedroom, and with it come tha dressing table and high chest of drawers. The bureau was only & makeshift, and failed to supply the piuco of thesu three picces of furmture, which it combined, and sensible women will ve glad to have the three pieces of furnituro again, A novel use has been evolvea for the very commonplace and inexpensive blue jeans. In a handsome upartment tho floor is covered with blue jeans, over which a beavy Smyrna rug of yellow browns,with a dash of Persian rod, is laid, The furniture is blue and gold and the hangings are blue and gold, anda the vatural blue of the jeans aftords an artistic background. e A NEW BOARDING SCHOOL To be Opened In unor, Greeley County, Nebraska, St. Joseph’s convent, one of the most com- modious in the west, beautifully situated on a slope of one of tho O'Connor hills, will be opened by the Sisters of Mercy on Septem- ber 1, -Parents desirious of uniting the advantages of healthful air with educational ursuits, snould send their children there. St. Joseph's boarding school will aford all the opuortunities for forming noble women, by equally developing the mental, moral and hysical powers. The people of Owaha ave shown gruat liberality in the past to the sisters, and it remains for them to con- tinue to show their good will by send- ing their children to the new boarding school.

The Blakely com- pany has evidently engaged Mr. Sousa as 4 purely commercial enterprise, with the ex- pectation of baving him drill & fine band that can be taken over the country and give en- tertainments that will net a handsome reve- nuo for its backers. Mr. Sousa gets a salary ©of 6,000 a year and an iaterest in the profits and nas an ironbound contract for five years, 1t 1s agreed that his profits shall be twice as large in tho second, third and fourth years as in the first, and on the other hand ihe syndicate is to have a hulf interest in his un- copyrighted compositions and 1n all he may wrlte- during the life of his coutract.

Major Burke, arother well known Nebraskan, ~and/ “Buffalo Bill's" tightbower, has witteul-the followiug in- formation about these modern contaurs : **I'ne Gaucho differs ifi tnany respects from the other rough riders gf the only partially civilized sections of the earth, He is the f & pecullar scheme of existence, age conditions of 1ife, that obtain in no part of the world pave on the boundiess llanos of South AmericA'#td the prairies of the north, ““The Gauchos are the descendants of the early Spanish colonizers of the South Amer- ioan pampas, The tempersment of the flery Hispanolian breed, the iutusion of the native Indian blood, together wjthh the wild, lonel, life on the ocean-like patspas, are the condl- tions responsible for thé proauction of the Gauchos. ve *Unliko the Anglo-Saxon race, which con- quors or elevates Lo its own standard of ciy- ilization, or obliterates through its force of character, the primitive people it comes in contact with, mauy otbers seem to drift to- ward the suyage surroundings encountered, and with o pliability foreign to the sturdy northern peoples adapt mich of the habits, customs, peculfarities,/and by miscegenation eventually produce s new class, possessiug muny of vhe features in it 85 & combination of both the parent trees. “The latost arrivals at Buffalo Bill's wid wesl make the sixth Qelegation to the *‘Con- ders of the World,” ly sod Salsbar; fair. “Apart from ti wild fantastic personal- ity of dress, menner, and equipment, snd their horsemanship, the Gauchos will be - umun'nu the tirst to istroduce 1o the Brit- ish public the use of the ‘bolas,’ for the cap- turing of wild animals, This instrument of the chaso has been ndopted by the Gauoh os from the pampa Indians, who, from time im- memorial, used it for the capture of ostriches, guanacos, and other big game. “‘The ' consists of a number of raw- hide thongs, fastened to a central thong, and ‘vith an iron bail at each of the ends. The Gaucho can hurl this at a flving horse, cow or ostrich from a distance of sixty feot and cause it to inextricably tangle about tho legs and bl'ln% the victim helplessly to the ground. This, rather than the lasso, is his favorite seapon in capturing wild animals or fighting 1n w When the Dictator Rosas many years ago conquered Buenos Ayres it was largely by the terror inspired by the reputation of his hords of Gauchos and pam- pas Indians, On their approach a_panio seized tho inhabitants, who made no rosistance, being completely terrorized into submission by the appearance of tho bolas- throwing wild horsemen. It may be interesting to statoe that from their primitive mode of existence, the Gaucho makes nearly overything connected with his ‘outfit,’ even the rude saddle from rawhide, the Iasso, the ‘bolas,’ and oven his boots — which are made from the skin (taken from tho knee down, and shaved to the leg and foot while warm) of a freshly killed colt, sewed av tho toe, thus forming practically a leatkor stocking without heel or side. They aro food of music, are good dancers, rorain- ing in many respeots the pootic traditions and tendencies of their Castilian ancestors.’ +*a Meontion has been made in this column of the reasons why Mrs, Sidney Drow is acting under that name instead of her maiden name, Gladys Rankin. 1t is an interosting subject, and Mrs, Kendall has writton an opinion that is quito apropos aud will commend itself to the general reader as eminently sensiblo. She says: “I have ofien been asked why my husbana and I always act together and have never been parted. [ wishto state to the public why it is so. My father was an actor who suid he believed that the greatest amount of domesticity and happinoss in a life devotad 10 art could exist on the stage, provided hus- bands and wives nevor partea. If, on tho contrary, a man, because he could earn £10 a woek more, wont to one theater whilst his wife, for a similar reason, went to another, their interests tended to become divided, their feelings ran in separate grooves, and eradually a shadow would grow up at home, which divided them forever. On my ex- pressing a wish to marry an actor, ho said that only on this condition would he allow me to marry my husband—that we should never be parted. ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean always acted together, and she endorsed my father's woras. If my husband and 1 had becn sepa- rated, if he had playd parts to other women, if other women had plaved parts to kim, and I to other men, and other men to mo—there is no doubt that we could have been worth thousands of pounds more today. But on the other hand there is a section of the pub- lic who say they like to see us act together: that the very fact of knowing that we are man and wife gives them a cortain satisfac- tion in witnessing our performanco, which they would not otherwise feel. That, how- ever, I must leave for the public to decide. As far as weare concerned, it was a vow made to my father, from which my husband has never departed; and if, when wo are deod, we leaye our children less money, let :lls hope they will respect what wo have oue,” Gossip of the Stage.
