Certainly not. There are still many men, though the world will scarcely believe it, who are so placed that they cannot avow their literary work, or who feel as if they derogated from their dignity in avowing it, or who are unable to hear.a criticism on them- selves by name, which they do not feel unpleasantly when applied to their work. They know much,’and ‘they are the natural patrons of the I Sonre Actresses. “Actresses who can’t aot wer perhaps never more numerous than they now are,’’ said one of our best “They have: pretty faces, charming figures and can'smile most bewitch ingly. What morecan the most ex. acting playgoer require?” In like way Charles Mathews, writing in 1875 to a country man. ager, said: ‘‘From my experience of provincial managers I should say that a young and pretty woman whe can’t act, and who knows she can’t, is an acquisition, particularly when she wants no salary for her igno. rance. Now, sucha onemy son asks rae to offer you. The lady is clever off the stage and has the advantages Ihave named above, and he gives me his word of honor that so far as he knows she can’t act a bit. and looks upon a salary the first season as positively nauseous. She is anx. ious to come to your theater and show her insufficiency or anything else the public may require. She may be @ genius oraduifer, Sh. doesn’t know what she can do, be. ing like the man who didn’t know whether he could play on the fiddle or not, having never tried. She wishes, at any rate, to put her foot on the stage, which generally means ‘putting her foot init.’ Will you give her a trial? If she turns out worth anything, I pledge myself to remove her at the earliest possible opportunity. If not, you are wel. come to her so long as yon find her thoroughly incapable.” . Men and Theories, Man is a theory making, theory loving animal, and, as a result, there are about a thousand theories in this world to every solid fact. But still it happens that the facts have the best of it, because no fact can confound another. They live to- gether in eterna: peace, whereas theories lead but a cat and dog exist- ence, and the mortality among them is frightful to contemplate.—‘‘In Sugar Cane Land, ’’ Eden Phillpotts. en — et ESTABL:iSH#D 1875.

The Compaaion’s Calendar It is said that the expense of making the Companion Art Calendar 1897 was so great that had it been published in the usual quantity it could not be sold tor less than one dol’ar, Four beautiful female figures are repyo-| for ducing on four folding pages. Each fig- ure is lithographed in twelve colors, be- sng a true reproduction of tne original water—color painting, which was select- ed because uf its excellence of design and charm of cclor ana tone. The size of each of the four folding paves is Lo} by 6 inches. It is by far the best piece of color work the Companion has ever offered. Both as a calendar and ag a gem of the lithographer’s art, it is so attractive that it becomes a valuable addition to the mantel or center-table of any rcom.
