All 'classes are (till deplorinR the death
of tbe dear old Ducheea ofTeck, but what
her lose must bo to her husband and
children no pen can rightly tell. She
was a perfect mother, not weak for ull
her good nature, but yet possessed to the
full of her sans' confidence, while her
daughter's love for her was well known.
When her bays wero away from her she
wrote to them nearly every day. The
eldest, Prince Adolpbus ('-Dolly," as the
called him,) who married Lady Margaret
Groevenor, is twenty-nine, one year
youngertbnn tbo Duchess of York:
"Frank," who is twenty-:ix, is serving in
the Soudan, and han Jsome Alexander th
Benjamin, aged twenty-three, is on the
' "? . . '
eve of Eailing for Africa to rejoin his
regiment, tho Seventh Hussars. It is
for him that rumor declares tho young
Queen of Holland is saving her girlish
charms. The pair have met and were
mutually attracted; moreover, tho
brother of the future Queen of England
is sufficiently highly connected to be a
good match even for the little Dutch
sovereign, but thcro are ditlicultics in
the wa, and it is impossible to say
whether tho jouthful roraanca will eer
develop into am thing more definite. All
the bojs are heartbroken at tho death
of their mother, especially the eldest,
and the Duke is said to be prostrated.
ThoDuehtHjof York, though she was
possionately devoted to her, bears up
with the fortitude which is part of her
strong character.
- An actress of considerable achieve
ments ays in regard to the current
agitation concerning the comparative
gract9 of English and American stpge
women:
' Wercc3ll that intimati Unglish life
is at wide variance with our own. It i
essentially a home life, and tho ingrain
ed habit of home is common to every
class alike. This condition arises from
their contented and methodic routine of
daily existence, their regularly assigned
statuses in society, their even and un
varied occupations that havo dc-cended
through families for generations. The
women of the English stage have sub
stantial home circles. They appreciate
i the duties that devolve upon tbem as
members of well ordeied familiep, and
tho graciousness and refinement of their
demeanor is tha natural result They
regard their 'profession as bo many
hours, evening and morning, spent in
legitimate work; just as tbe teacher, tho
milliner, the girl at the desk regard her
work hour?. To enter the theatre does
not necessarily mean to the English girl
a plunge into a life of reckless irregulari
ties or languorous dissipation. They
pursue their 'profession' amid the pro
tecting influences of tne home. When
called upon to protray a lady, the quiet.
self-containment and simplicity of bear-
ing which constituta the fundamsntal
qualities of modish politeness leadB them
instinctively to pursue the proper course
when dealing with merely outward attri
butes of an elegant characterization.
"Of what a different equipment is the
American actress! Bred with no sense
of home interest, with contempt,for the
ordinary pursuits of their caste, they re
gard the theatre as a medium of great
est gain for the least labor.
"With the usuaLelip shod training of
the youth of this country, how can they
develope thoss delicate qualities of mind
and manner that bespeak tha carefully
nurtured? Haviog once gratified their
desire for the stage, they rush to tho ex-
treme of vulgar obtrusiveness and, de
porting themselves noisly and rakishly,
give vent to their excited impulses and
erratic proclivities. And how they give
themselves away when tha crucial task
8 put to them to portray a lady!
"Two euch young women of recognized
harm and ability appeared in a New
York production in the role of a govcr-
nor" daughter. PofMaaiag noae of the.
nice attribute of the young person of
social dUtinction and being ?Btirely un
acquainted with that elegant and exalt
ed order of lifi, they had only their own
narrow experience to inform them. .Of
course their exhibition was that of the
prinked-up shop girl on her company
behavior!
"Contrast the conduct of such 'young
women, both on the stage and off for
their private life is the usually disorder
ed one. a daily indulgence in lazy revel
ry and excess with that of a litt'c Eng
lish girl who mad) a great hit in New
York not long ago with her beauty
grace and piquant manner. Did this
young pereon'd very marked success in-
rllipo linr f nnrmln finrealP pnnatunMv in
, .. . . , ' ,
tiublic restaurants, nonul.ir avonupn and
other shoddy clientage? Perish the
thought! She tiled in a modest hotel
with her mother as a costant attendant,
absorbed in her professional duties and
occupying her spare moments with
healthful exercise or sitting quietly at
her window with the needle work of
which she is very fond. And this was a
young woman who came of ao essential
ly theatrical family, reared in the theatre
ami for the theatre, and with so limited
a knowledge of the outside world that
she was unable to converse on any sub
ject not prctaiuing to the theatre.
Yet despite the iude schooling of the
playhouse b1iu was a lady instinctively
and conducted herself on all occasions
with a decorum that is practically un
known to the American actress. There
is no gainsaying the plainly evident fact
that the rigid homo training of tho Eng
lish girl produces a far higher standard
of the gentlewoman; not, nerhape, en
dued with the verve, the ready wit, the
rare fettle of the American girl, but with
just as tine endowment of character and
mind. And in no walk of life is it so
convincingly illustrated as among the
women of the stage. For with but verj
rare exception the dame of high degree
is an unknown personage on our stages
unless she be set forth by an English
actress.
'Of course I would not intimate, even
vaguely, that the English woman of tbe
stage surpasses her American sister in
the matter of morals; but in manner her
easy superiority is little less than pain
ful."' "I see it stated on good authoritj-,"
said Mr. Corbett's private secretary,
"that Fitz-immons is willing to tight
again.'
"In that cBse you had better withdraw
my standing challenge."
