... MISS DOEA BARTON. To be described as one of the prettiest and most natural children on the stage by a great critic, and to be spoken of by the author of The Black Cat as completely fulfilling by her impersonation his ideal of the part he had drawn are brave words. They would be corroborated, undoubtedly, by everyone who had seen little Miss Dora Barton on the boards at the matinee in ...

... THE LUCIEN BONAPARTE LIBRARY. REMINISCENCES OF THE PRINCE. Quite the most interesting thing for a while in the world of books is the sale of the late Prince Lucien Bonaparte's library. Many people know the big house with the red slashings and the portico in Norfolk Terrace, Bayswater, where the Prince gathered it together. To him his library was the dearest passion; its collection was his ...

... THE WORLD OF SPORT. FOOTBALL. The first of the International matches will be played at Birkenhead next Saturday between England and Wales. The surprising victory of the Welshmen at Cardiff last season has greatly increased the interest in this year's event. With one exception, the Welsh team of this year is the same as last year's fifteen. With England it is much otherwise. Lockwood is the ...

... THE ART OF THE DAT. Mr. Whitworth Wall is gave utter ance to a very good idea the other day in addressing the Malvern School of Art. He noted with considerable severity that every student who passes through our art schools is persuaded of the gay opinion that he can paint pictures, a proceeding which he promptly carries out, and, what is worse, he sometimes succeeds in selling them. The ...

... STUDIES IN WAX. SOME MASTERPIECES AT MADAME TUSSAUD'S. When the enterprising and energetic Madame Tussaud first came over to England, early in the present century, and set up her waxwork exhibition in the Strand, little did she think that her modest show was destined to develop into the magnificent exhibition which has found a permanent home near Baker Street Station. Madame Tussaud's children ...

... . It was with sincere regret I read of the death of Miss Ada Swanborough, after a long and painful illness-- a clever lady, whom some of us are old enough to associate with the most triumphant burlesque successes of the Strand Theatre. Those who remember the glories of The Field of the Cloth of Gold, Paris; or, Vive Lemprière, and other, perhaps, judged from our modern standpoint, somewhat ...

Lady Sophy Sir, your children are young, and, so far, innocent. If they are to remain so, it is necessary that they be at once removed from the contamination of their disgraceful surroundings.

... MISS LILLIAN BTJSSELL. The soft pit-a-pat of a dainty foot on a Brussels carpet does not help a man to interview a handsome woman (says a Sketch representative). That may be accepted as a truism. When I started out to call on Miss Lillian Russell I had a beautifully arranged battery of questions. Somehow, in her presence the compact battery got jumbled more or less, and went to pieces. Come ...
