"FASHIONED SO SLENDERLY."
་་་་་
She is so young and gentle, and looks so charmingly fragila in her fashionable cos. me, that has nothing cosmopolitan in it bet the bat, that the Leader representative listened with amazement to her stories of the South Seas and the wilds of Texas.
"My idea was that i could trivel about, getting sufficient to live upon by giving" ba- tertainmenta from town to town.”” So the late Hos. Richard Seddon gave her 'bit, blessing and a jade-stone charm, and away she went, first to Sydney,
From there she went to the Fifi islands, and then the winds of the world blow her, whore they listed. She "dodged about among the Pacific dots, from island to island, living how she could,
"Miss Maude" visited Thursday Island, Samos, Handlalu, and Tahiti,-and-at-last-got to Vancouver. There she joined an English company of opera singers, and went across Canada; entered the States, giving drawing. foom monologues, or any other society amuse
ments that occurred to her versatile mind; and at last found herself in Portland, Oregon, on the Pacific side again.
ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED.
At Frisco'she was one of 500 in a dramatic competition, and won the gold medal, which was presented to her by President Roosevelt.. She went then to Los Angeles, and undertook the mad journey across. the Texan deserts on foot. Her equipment was a revolver, a water- proof sheet, some oatmeal biscuits, a knapsack, and a waterflask. She was held up four times by footpads. Finally her hardships became foo much for her, and some cowboys found her exhausted on the prairie and took her to a rauch There she lay ill for three weeks, and when well the admiring "boys" made a " round-up for dollars,” and put her on the train for Now Oricans. She then journeyed across the Eastern Staten to New York, where she arrived with two shillings; but a lot of pluck. She_found_there that the latter was of more value than the former, for New York was worse Ihan the South Seas,
Now she is in London, friendless but cheery, and is prepared to, entertain us at the Easton Music Hall with anecdote and incident (illustrated with dissolving views, for she always carried a kodak); beginning next Monday night
