Miss Josephine Shaw is probably the best known to us of the early list by her continuing to act for some time after she married John Hoey of the Adams Express Company. It m be d in passing that Clara Morris also married a_flour merchant, but declined to go to Buffalo to live, preferring to retire upon a manorial es- tate at Riverdale. Mary Anderson is probably the most brilliant example in the present gen- eration of this alliance of stage art and No other woman of our time had so flowery a path over the boards. Then there was Edith Kingdon of Daly's company, an attractive and e: timable stock actress, whose salary never probably exceeded $60 a week, but who one day suffered it to be an- nounced that she was going to marry George Gould, the son of what had been the richest man in America. Her pin money is now at least $50.000 a year. Almost coincident with Mary Anders son's marriage was that of Annie Robe, who had suddenly flashed out at Wal- <'s Ti.eater, and of Virginia Dreher at_Daly 1t was hardly so with Fay Temple- ton, whose ultimate marriage with Howard Osborne provided | surprises for the ~ublic. The late Margaret Mather, whose stage career had for its inception a wealthy brewer, succeeded, after the most adventurous stage career, in fall- ing into the arms of a young and very wealthy Milwaukee brewer.

OF “THE VIRGIN. hibit; but Paris can give only half of this space. Unfortunately it is decided to erect the exposition buildings in the very heart of the city, and therefore it . ;Irilnut be spread out as in the World's air. The Paris Commissioners, on being urged to hold the exposition on the out- skirts of the city, replied that the facil- . - ities for urban traffic were so limited : that it would be impossible to trans- port the people to the fair. It would be absolutely necessary to erect it in the heart of Paris. It can be imagined how great is the need of space from the fact that two. nd a half acres of ground have been ade by filling along the banks of the Seine. The gardens and terraces on both sides of the river will be utilized and there will be exhibits on each side. Spanning the Seine and commanding a view of the exposition will be a new bridge, to be known as the Pont d'Alex- andre III. The cornerstone of ‘this bridge was laid by Czar Nicholas on October 19, 1895. Each end of the bridge will be made a dream of loveliness. Pavilions, where will be received the kings of the earth, are to be erected along here, and the republic of France will hold royal court. Several of the palaces have begun to rear their heads and others are rap- idly being constructed. The most im- posing buildings will be the two fine art palaces, which are now being built on the site of the old Palace de I'Indus- trie. These are to be known as the Grand Palace des Beaux Arts and the Palais des Petits Arts. The sum of $5,- 000,000 is being spent upon their con- struction. The Grand Palais holds the finest productions of France and the Petit Palais holds the exhibits of for- eign exhibitors. American works wil! be exhibited in the Petit Palais. The Crystal Palace, lighted by elec- - tricity, will be a novelty, not only in "~ beauty, but in electrical workmanship. —_——— The father of the Athenaeum Club of London is dead. Mr. John Lettsom Elliott’s was a familiar figure in Pall Mall. He was one of the ornaments of those “days of the dandies,” which he was never weary of {llustrating by reminiscences and tales. He was in- timate with most of the celebrities of the first half of the century, and had a rich fund of anecdotes of all and sun- dry with whom, during his long life, he was thrown into contact. ‘When the Queen was quite a child he had the honor of holding her in his arms, and it is said that her Majesty was, by the court physician, vaccinated from the lymph taken from one of his brothers. He distinctly remembered walking across the Thames during the great frost in 1814; he had seen the guards wearing pigtails; he knew all about the rejoicings after the victory of Waterloo, and he was familiar with Queen Caro-- line’s house on Blackheath. —_——— A Spanish galleon with a cargo of 17,- 000,000 dollars and as many bars of sold was wrecked on the beach at Gunwal- loe, in the Lizard district of Corn-va.l, more than twenty years ago. Dollars are frequently washed up on the sands. Helston, an English iron founder, has just organized a company to exploit these buried riches. —_———————— Happiness often depends upon what we do with our spare time.
