A LETTER Leipsig. Germany. May 6. 1 )$2. My Dear Elsie: Have just finished reading your letter lor the—I can't tell how many-cth time—anti cnjoyc«l it so much. Since coming to (jermany my correspondents have forgotten that I. as well as you. am out of touch with the old life, and consequently hungering for the hits of gossip so clear to a girl s heart. But that heart, mine at least, has recently been refreshed by a letter from Mrs. Dillen-hack—vou remember she used to be” Max Crawford, and such a quiet girl, but has develop'd into a wonderful woman, and. with her husliand. is enjoying an unlimited sta in Paris. Mr. Dillcnhack made his money bv his novel. “I zzic. the Minister.” which is really a biography of Rudy Vzzell. the world-famed evangelist. and taking for his motto. An inefficient he i worse than the truth, decided that America was not the place for rising aristocrats and sailed on the next day for Eurojn . Martha Markisen. who writes me. met such an untimely death. She and Mr. Bliss, it seems, had joined forces and become the most successful slicks and train robbers of modem times. They were trapjied and on discovering themselves ln-trayed. lcajxM from the train, and Martha was instantly killed. Bliss has turned hermit. Too had. two people who began so brightly to follow the good way should have fallen so far from grace! My husband and I went to see Faust” last evening, and, dear Elsie, we were so delighted by our old schoolmate. Edward Stauffer's marvelous interpretation of the character Mephistopheles—lie is a fine actor and looked as villainous as of yore. Mrs. I)— wrote. t x , that she hail lately | aid a visit to our old friend, Alice Richardson Evans, who. she says, makes a lieautiful and model minister’s wife: her husliand is such a gifted man. Mrs. Crook, who is Professor of English at the Berlin University, met him and says he is a model man. Truly a model family in a model parish! 1 supjiose you have heard about Vernon Brigham. but woman-like, 1 must toll you anyway. He was conqiounding an insoluble chemical, embalming stuff, the secret of which lias made him renowned, and by accident dropjicd the retort tin his foot, hurting it so seriously that he had to have removed the three toes which it didn’t embalm. Such a calamity would have lieen tragic if it had hap|ici!cd to our dancing master. Mr. Thomas, who is becoming an eminent litcrarx critic as fast as his eyesight, which he lost for a while, will allow. Rather gritty of hint, wasn’t it. to employ his feet when his head gave out—he always was a worker. And. oh! 1 mustn’t forget to tell what she heard aliout Stanley Hornheck. He raised the biggest crop of onions in Missouri Inst summer! Who would have dreamed of him as a typical farmer: and volt won't believe it. but they say his wife has frizzly, red hair. You asked me aliout Lulu (ilockner. I lielicve •die is at the head of a training school for professional basket-ball plavers. She lias brought the game doxvn to a scientific basis You will die laughing when 2d
