Isee her every evening as Iwander to

her distant face.

She's Just the girl across the vray;Idonot know her name,

(But Iwould give a 'fortune just ac-quaintanceship to claim-

Sometimes when tired out and longing

for a needed rest-

When spirits droop and c'en my heartis hopelessly elepressed

keep a wife.

She's just the girl across the way—anunknown axige! there;

I've never seen a sweeter face, nor onethat's half as fair.

—That very often '•Distance lends enchant-

"Possibly this gTenth--inor'V!!=?d volumeof American travel abroad." says theXcw York World, "may help to explaintho balance of trade mystery to whichProfessor Bullock, of Williams College,recently called attention.

ed that he could not come within 5500.000,-oio of doing it. But he estimated thev. ally expenditures of our tourists inEurope at about $62,500,000. In view ofthe facts above stated.

Dun's Index Number on September Istv.-as 506.0U, making the cost of living"1.6per cent, higher than on August Ist.The present range of values, based' ontlie per capita, consumption of Jl5O quo-tations, is higher than at any previoustime this year, and only about fifty centslower than the top point of 1000, whenth'^ index number was at the high-watermark of the decade. Changes duringthe last month were exceptionally inter-esting-, since they faithfully reflect theonly two untoward influences of the year.FoHowingr the usual method of classifi-cation, itappears that inbreadstuffs tiierewas a rise of 4.4 per cent, in August,almost entirely elite to the advance inthe price of corn, as other cereals variedlitt!n. although beans and peas reacheda hiirher level.

The effects of the elecreaseel yield' ofmaize were more pronounced during the.early part, of August than at tho openingof ilienew month, and' wheat also reacheda much higher level. These fluctuationswere largely *iie to- speculation and> couldnot he maintained, in the face of corn ex-perts averaging" less than hnlf a millionbushels weekly. Meats also advancedto an abnormally hfgrh point, surpassingall recent years. The gain for themonth, however, was only n.bout whatmight be expected' in the" licht of cornprospects. Dairy andi garden productswere slightly lower: the advance in ept^-s,apples, milk ami miscellaneous vegetablesbeing more than balanced by the declinein potatoes, butter, cheese andi hay. Atrifling- loss waa also recorded, in otherarticles of food., due to the decline inboth raw andi refined sugar and hops.

The small advance Ini the clothing classwas the most gratifying of the month'svariations. Here there was no specula-tive nor other unreal influence at work.Tust a whoir^ome expansion in demandfor both cotton and woolen goods, anda small ri&3 in. the price of raw woolafter a discouraging!:- long period ofdulness. Raw cotton advanced on lessfavorable coneiitions in Texas, nnel great-er activity at th» mills. Silk reachedthe best price of the year, and goodswere generally firm, while throughout allbranches of textile and' kindred 'lines thesituation distinctly improved. Bootsand shoes were well maintained, but thenet change in leather and! hides wasdownward, although the last week of Au-gust brought a partial recovery of earlierlosses. A moderate advance occurredin ths rubber market.

An advance of 4.9 per cent, in metals"-- mainly artificial. Owing1 to the in-terruption In certain branches of the ironand steel industry by the strike, therewas a general tendency to harden quo-tations. This was especially noticeableIn tin plates, where the available supplywas soon exhausted, and manufacturersof cans were forced to pay big premiumsuntil imports could, be secured. Easiermarkets for the raw materials naturallyprevailed* as .;e mills were consumingiess, and- both pigiron and tin weakenedextensively. Another- factor in tlvs di-vlsion's rise was the advance In anthra-cite coal. In the miscellaneous classthere was a smaM decline, mainly onnccount of the heavy fall In linseed! oil.Drugs also averaged lower, despite gains

would that every Roman wen? a slavethan that her lover should bo slain.

Antoinette Ashton achieved a distinctsuccess in this role. At n--st the sweet.gentle Roman maid, the life and sun-shine of a warrior's home, tho little sister

for whom tho sturdy brothers would havegladly laid down their lives, soon lovecame' into her life,and frcrn tho chrysalisof youth emerged the perefect woman to

whom love was all in all. Her scene inthe fourth act, when she denounced herbrother for slaying her lov^r. was one ofthe strongest in the play, and she played

it with splendid effect. Virginia DrewTrescott was excellent r.s Cornelia, par-ticularly in the last act. The tinal netwas very strong: and affcroV<] Mr. Wardehis best* opportunities, although the act

was originally badly arranged nnd thefore? of tho climax was lost. With thechanges thai must be made, the actionwillbe intensified and the nlay strength-

ened. The literary qua]iiy\<s£ the play is

good, as a whole, although the pruningknife ea.n be used to advantage on many

of the lines, particularly th': numerousnsidep and Invocations to the Immortalpods, and Hie- faults are dun to a lack ofknowledge of stage technique. The play

was handp^mely mounted, and the pro-fluction seemed to please the audienceswhich witnessed the fir.«t presentations.1he support was good, but the play suf-fered badly from scarcity of supernu-meraries.

THEATRICAIi TOPICS.Some monihs ago Jennie Eustace, Hen-

ry Miller's leading lady ul the time, ad-ktitiised Tor a play with a. dominant wo-man's part. Over seventy plays weresubmitted, but scarcely one l'ullllled thechifl requirement. Among the plays sub-m.tced w.i.s one written Tiy un unknownauthor, but Miss Eustace saw at oncethat it was a splendid play for a malestar. She sent the play to Wagenhalsand Keinper. They accepted the play :.itonce, named it '"Petticoats and Bayo-nets," and will use it in bringing forwardtheir new star, Arthur Byron.

* *Successful playwrights are well paid

for their work. The dramatization o£"Trilby" earned in royalties $240,0 0.which amount was divided between DvMaurier. the author; Paul Potter, thodramatist, and Harper & Brothers, thepublishers! Bronson Howard's "Shenan-doah" was a great money-maker. So was•The Girl 1 Left Behind Me." by DavidBelasco and Franklin Fyhs. Charles Hoytmade quite a fortune through h;s plays.nit-hough a largo part of this came from

I his association In the production of thaplays. Clyde Fitch receives over $2,000 aweek in royalties 1 from his plays now inuse. William Gillette has alro receivedhandsome reward from his playwriting.

It is rather weird, but entirelysatisfactory, 1 assure you."

X. Sheldon Ivewis recently played anImportant role In "Don Caesar do Ba-zan" at. the Murray-Hill Theatre, NewYork. The Dramatic Mirror said of hiswork:

"N. Sheldon Lewis gave a creditableimpersonation of Don Salluste, "Thecounterpart of Done Jose. Particularlywhizn he displays craftiness and gave evi-dence of sinister thoughts was Mr.Lewisworthy of eomnundalion."• **
