WELL KNOWN WIDOWS.

k Merry Widow Manager's InterestingCompilations.The success of the Merry Widow has

led Henri Gressltt to make a specialstudy of widows:"From time immemorial widows have

been possessed of a peculiar and dominantfascination. Why this self-evidentfact is true is not easy to explain. Perhapsit is because with all the attractionof the unattached, and therefore to be attached,female, they possess a certainsophistication, born of experience, andtherefore knowledge, which no maidencan hope to attain."Tony Weller's famous advice. 'Samirel.bevare of the vidders,' excellent advicethough it may be from certain points

of view, never has been and never will ,be followed by the general public, in ,which it is not unique, for when has ad- ,vice, even though all its worth and com- jmon sense may be acknowledged, beenfollowed when one's inclination leads oneto act contrary to it? J"Be that as it may, widows have played ,

no inconsiderable part in the history, ro- ,

mance and drama of the world.Cleopatra was a young widow when she

captivated the senses of Julius Caesar, ,ini a much older one when she ensnared ,Mark Antony, causing him to lose the ,world for love, and proving the truththat "age could not wither nor customstale her infinite variety." ("In the opposing scale of femininity, \

Cornelia, the pearl and exemplification iif perfect motherhood, was a widow when \she called her sons, the Gracchi, her jewels.placing them beyond all materialwealth.

oome w iuows on x ranee. '

"France, 1 nespecial, has owed muchto her widows, both for good and forevil. Catherine de Medici and Anne otAustria, as regents during long minorities 1

of their sons, exercised a powerful influenceover both the present and future of '

the country. The Widow of Scarron,better known as Madame de Maintenon,achieved unbounded Influence over the 1king. Ix>uis XIV, who finally married her,morganatically, of course. But she was iqueen in everything but name, and playeda large part in the nation's politics and i

policies. Marie Antoinette, although a iwidow for only a short time, her execu-tion following closely upon that of herhusband, deserves a place among famouswidows, if only on account of the oppro-bnous term, wiaow v-apei, oy wnicn tnerevolutionists Insisted on addressing her.The Widow Beaubarnais, afterward Josephine,Empress of the French, was awidow who will never be forgotten, bothas the for-a-time conqueror of one of thegreatest conquerors the world has everknown and her undeserved unhappineBsafterward."Maria Theresa of Austria, the mother

of Marie Antoinette, was a widow who impressedher personality strongly upon hercountry, having a masculine grasp uponthe principles of government. And thatunfortunate young queen. Mary Stuart,left a widow at flfteen upon the death ofthe Dauphin of France.to him who readsher history today her fascinations are almostas great as they were to the poetChaselard, the musician Itizzlu or thefreebooter. Bothwell. But these wereonly examples of the power she exertedby her charm.'"Her admirers were legion, and even

A great deal of such workIs now turned out in this country, andevery now and then a foundry Is started,only to make a failure because of lackof the peculiar skill needed. It seemshard to tret skilled workmen."The making of a marble statue is done

entirely by the sculptor, cr by workmenand students in his studio and under hispersonal supervision. The bronze statueis not only not made in the sculptor'sstudio, but it is almost invariably an enlargementof the sculptor's model, whichenlargement is made by the casters, andthrough methhds of which the sculptorhimself may know nothing at all."The making of bronze statuary is expensive.Exclusive of the amount paid

to the sculptor the founder's charge fora life-size statue runs up from $700. Thelarger and more intricate the design thegreater the.cost, but a single life-sizefigure In sirriple dress and pose may costas much as $l,20o."
