Although ninny of the cleverest actresses the world has known have es rayed the part, they have, with few exceptions, faicd in it. Kveii Sarah Shldons, probably the greatest tragic actress of all time, was a failure as Hamlet, largely owing to the n oudescript nature of her garments, which were neither masculine nor feminine ami whien made it almost impossible to forget that her Hamlet was a woman and not a man, says I.omlon Tit Hits. charlotte Cuslunau was perhaps the most brilliant player of nude parts of her or, indeed, of any other generation. Site was equally brilliant and eonvlncing as Hotneo, Cardinal Wolsey or Claude Melnotte, hut when she made the crucial experiment of playing the melancholy Hone even she proved unequal to the task. In fact, her Hamlet "was so badly received in Dublin that she there and then made tip her mind never to play it again. And yet her Konteo was such a trltunpn of acting that James Sheridan Knowles, tlio groat dramatist and critic, was completely carried away by it. Of her acting of the passage where Hotneo flings himself upon the ground, "taking the measure of an unmade grave." he says; "It was a scene of top most passion, not simulated passion; no such thing?real, palpably real. The genuine lieart storm was on in its wihlest fullness of fury, and I listened and gazed and held my breath, while my blood ran hot and cold. I am sure it must have been the ease with every one in the house, hut I was all absorbed in Romeo till a thunder of applause recalled me to myself." And of her assumption of the difficult part of Claude Melnotte in "The hady of T.yons" Justin McCarthy says: "I have seen Claude Melnotte played by many great actors, from Maeready to Irving, hut Miss Cushmau eclipsed them all. She created for me the only human, the only possible and the only endurable Claude Melnotte I have ever seen." Miss Julia Seaman, a once popular neiress, was so severely criticised when she played Hamlet some years ago that she turned round on her critics and assailed them In a very vigorous maimer. The late Miss Marriott, who had one of the most beautiful voices ever heard on nny stage, wns more fortunate, although It was one of her least successful assum >tiouH, ami In the fifties an American actress. Miss Percy Knowles, made such nti unfortunate exhibition of herself as the melancholy one that a country manager actually Issued a notice warning his patrons against goiiiR to see her. Ellen Tree (Mrs. Diaries Kenn) was the first to put on Hamlet's doublet and hose; Mrs. Olover won Edmund Kcnn's approval by her playing of the part, and Mmo. Sarah Bernhardt gave a picturesque and clever rendering of Hamlet, although It was not to he compared with many of her brilliant assumptions.

She was one of the finest person a tors of Richard III. ever seen on the stage, , her Shylock was among the most brll- < limit pieces of acting In her day, and i she was almost equally clever as Iago,- 1 Itoineo and P.on Caesar de Razan, and I yet when Charlotte Crampton chal- 1 leuged criticism with Hamlet she fall- ' cil as signally as her rival, Charlotte C'nshman, had done. Probably the most successful of all lauy minuets was Anna Dickinson, who maile considerable reputation as Macbeth and Claude Melnotte. "A number of women have trle<l Hamlet," she said. "None, I believe, with any success. Yet, in my opinion, the character of Hamlet Is eminently suited for a woman's capabilities. Hamlet was very young?a mere college boy. In i fact. Resides, a fine actress Is more likely to bring out the wonderful womanlike delicacy of Hamlet's character than a very young actor." And she supported her views by giving an attractive vnd clever rendering of the part. Crinoline. In the World of Fashion of 1830 Is a reference to "the new stuff called crinoline."

An usher slammed down iho scat J beside Elizabeth and laid a programme < on It; then ho handed the seat check I to Its owner and slid away. When you have broken your engagement with a man the night be- f fore, after a stormy discussion, It Is ^ not the happiest surprise in the world to And him seated beside you at the matinee, where yon have gone t*? kill ( time and forget yourself. i Elizabeth bowed stiffly. : The man responded with equal frigidity. She read her programme with absorbing interest. It was continuous i vaudeville. ? ? "I had no Idea," said the man nt j last, "that you would be here or 1"? "My movements need not interfere with yours, Mr. dayden," said Elizabeth icily. She grew still more absorbed In her programme. A tlnnr ..'.1 I.. .1 in 4ft uvui UIU umtt , n liu W illfi WUM'il and gold rimmed glasses, sat down with u thud In the sent on Elizabeth's left and turned a delighted smile on the girl. "Well, I deelnre," she cried, "If It ain't Hosslo Mclntyre! Law me?the very last person on earth I was thinkIn* of seoin*. IIow are you, dear? And how's your mother?"

"yVefl?well?well," said the old fady, "to think of my meetiu' yon all here. And we were Just tnlkln' about you lK>tli last night. See her blush," she chuckled to Nick, as the <iulck crimson spread over Elizabeth's face. "I hear yon'ro to be married. Yes, Indeed?we hear things In country, too, and, of course, since you ail's families used to live in Glrton, everybody's Interested In you. Well, well! I wish you all the happiness In the world, my dear?and you'll need it. Marriage Is i mighty risky thing. And the weddln' Is to he in the spring, I hear. That's good. June and brkles and roses sorter belong together." She stopped for breath. "We are not"? began Elizabeth. She hit her Hps and began again. "We have"? "We have decided nothing definitely," Nick Interrupted easily. "That right," the old lady agreed; "hold on to vour swcethcartlM* n? Innr* as you pan. It's mighty nice playln', i and It only comes once in a lifetime." t Elizabeth smiled In spite of herself. f "Some girls nre engaged three or four times, Mrs. Barton," she suggested. 1 "Oh, Jus* fly-up-the-creeks," said Mrs. t Barton comfortably, "not nice, sincere, i honest girls like you that know, the i right man and stick to him when they j find htm. I said the minute I heard of 1 your engagement: 'Now, there's a prop- 1 er match. Both of 'em y^vng. l?oth of j 'em handsome, well olT, g* 1 tempered, sensible and steady.

"Shucks, ] honej*," Mrs. Barton whispered, "you're < too modest?now don't talk to me. I 1 haven't seen n show In three years." ] Elizabeth turned to Nick with a furious whisper. "This can't go on." "What are you going to do?" he asked stiffly. "Tell her"? "1 won't." "It's perfectly absurd." Nick shrugged his shoulders. "S-s-s-h!" Mrs. Barton cried In a Jocu in niim]icr. 'i mi ll nnve time enough to tnllc to each other all your lives. < Keep quiet now." After an unhappy half hour the white < curtain of the vltograph rolled down, 1 and Mrs. Barton turned to the girl again. "I can't look at those things," she said; "hurts my eyes. Now tell me some more about yourselves?makes me feel right old to think of your two children goln' to get married. Law me! I remember the time you wan't no higher than my knee. You were the worst youngster In the county, Nick, and Bessie wan't far behind you. And, law, how you used to hate each other! Many's the time I've seen her pull that tow hair of yours." "It Isn't"? began Elizabeth' Impetuously. "Ph. yes," Mrs. Barton laughed, "It always was tow. and It still Is." Nick grlnm-d cheerfully.

"She's still that was' sometimes," said Nick, smilingly. Elizabeth gasped furiously. "Nick Gayden!" she cried., "Law me," said Mrs. Barton, "I knew it, honey, without his tellln' me! What's bred In the boos? But yon all always r - ~ nnde It up then, nnd you always will. [ know that too." 1 "I hope so," Nick assured her ear-. . ' : ."'V <*. Elizabeth looked straight in front of ier. "You were pointedly made for each Stber. Where you goln' on your honeymoon?" ' "We had thought of California," said ' S'lek quietly, while the girl beside him winced. "That's right," Mrs. Barton agreed. 'See your own country first nnd heath>n lands afterward. And who're your H-klesmalds to he, Bessie?" Elizabeth hesitated miserably. Mrs. [larton's words wore liko?alt In a new lit. They had discussed tfielr plans so inpplly, nnd now that It was all over, he could not forget It. She waited, Ike a coward, for Nick, but he sat quite illent. "Your sister, of course?" said Mrs. Finrton. ** "Oh, It's all"? Elizabeth stopped. "All undecided," the old lady suggested.' "I s'pose so. But June Is only three months off now. fSoin' to h uisokeenln' ! itterwnrd or goin* to board?" "Housekeeping." said Nick curtly. "The curtain Is going up again," Nick added hastily. Elizabeth snt In comparative peace through the rest of the programme. yhPH the last performer came to tlie front of the stage?a boyish looking nuin In the conventional evening dress of the vaudeville songster. The orrhfcstrn preluded softly for a moment, iriVl over the darkened theater the nian's voice rang out Infinitely rich ond deep: "Oh, 'twas sweet of old, when our love we told"? "Asthore," whispered Mrs. Barton delightedly. ,The beautiful voice sobbed and 4a'ivk. and rose again with the plaintive cry of the song and the last waling chord: "I am waiting for thee, astliore," lied away into n perfect silence. There ivaa a thunder of applause. ~ ''You used to sing that," Mrs. Barop whispered to Nick, "the year after rou finished college. I guess Bessie cmembers it. You sang It at my touse one night?don't vou know. Bps del" 'ri?I?yes. I think I do," snid a ivretched nnd uncertain Elizabeth. The man on the stage sang the last jars of the song again. "Elisabeth," said Nick, very low. Elizabeth turned, startled nt the tudden call, nnd the eyes she lifted tvere heavy with tears. "A8thore," said Nick, lower still. Then he helped her Into her coat uid wrung licr hand beneath its sheltering folds. Mrs. Barton bestowed a parting jenediction on them. "I'ni real glnd I've seen you," she inld, beaming. "Cilve my love to your nother, Bessie, uiul don't forget to lend me my invitation to the- wedlln*." \ "It shall be the llrst one sent out, lenr. Mrs. Barton?" said Elizabeth happily. ' " '' Barton and the "Arabian Klshta." Sir Richard Burton made $50,000 out jf his translation of the "Arabian S'ights." When after alxjut liftecn rears' labor he completed this valuable jook he submitted it to a number of mhllshers, nnd no one would ofTer him uorc than $2,500 for It. lie was about o accept these terms when his wife tald: "Let mo publish this work for you, [tichnrd. To print and hind nnd put on he market a set of books surely enulot be a superhuman undertaking. Let no try It. The publishers don't offer rou n fair price. Let us, then, bnlk hem, and If any profit Is to be made 'roni all your lalior let us and not the inhllshers enjoy It." Sir ltlcliard consented. Ills wife set :o work.

Rut she managed somehow to get sufficient capital together, and ultimately the "Arabian Nights" came out The Burtons made $50,000. _ "There'll De So Tie." An energetic pastor who was making preparations to build a now church eeelvod all kinds of advice from parishioners, and the greatest amount cartie from those who had contributed the least toward the erection of the church. Ho at the regular services on the following Sunday he said: "I have been receiving lota of advice during the last few weeks.
