pinnacle for which all artists strive but few reach. There are no words to express the mag-nificentbeauty of her paintings. Everybody regards her as a perfect genius except the 'art critic.' But even he has something to learn of art. Besides being a very great artist, Beulah has become a society woman. She is charming and graceful as ever, and her cosy little home is in a perfect whirl of gayety." '" L'aiglon ' was revived in Paris last winter, and there appeared on the stage of the' Comedie Francaise' the most brilliant actress France has known. It was Mlle. Marion Clark. What is wonderful about her is that she was an American by birth, and knew nothing what- ever of French until she went to school and learned the She was so bright that she soon master of it. She went to France to live in order to acquaint herself with French customs. There she met Sarah Bernhardt, who soon discovered that there was the making of an actress in the little mademoiselle. As her health was failing she decided to teach mademoiselle, so that she might have a successor who would do credit to her instruction. Her efforts were crowned with success, for to- day mademoiselle's brilliancy exceeds even that of Sarah Bern hardt." "Jones Dashiell is nothing but a grown up boy. The same old tease he used to be. He studied medicine for several years under a famous doctor in Salis- bury, and has turned out to be a renowned Hornceopathist and faith-curist.
