Of course tho new woman, who thinki
(ho is n great succes uh a companion to
after dinner coffee, will riso to object to
such wholesale condemnation, hut who
hm a clearer titlo to criticise than tho
king of after dinner talkers?
Club lifo produce after dinner talk

A majority are too conciou of their

Almost ai umny nro in too deadly ear

When asked if bin judgment wan the

"VtH, I have beard women talk at
Porosis, at dinner political, rhnrltuMe,

CAIILOTTA.
I have been at grcnt pain to get to
the bottom of the whole Htory. When I
first begun to truce it by inquirie
among circus managers, perforiueiHiid
i employee, I wn tnyelf a doubter. The
' whole thing wn no Htraiige, romantic
and remarkable that 1 did not give it
much credence.
I It fcemcd IK) improbable, no Impowd
ble, that for a time I thought it absurd,
, too ridiculous to Investigate,
I I myself bud seen Carlotta on her
1 first apiearunce in America and re
member her a a great artist, a miperb
I creature, very dark, very Ismitiful, and
! inch eye, o large, so bluck at the first
look it Rcemed a though her face wn
'all eye.
I I do not remember whether Carlotta
wa Hpniihdi or Italian. She bud many
j accoiiiplishmeniHiiiid npoke several lan
i gnnge. Hhe hud Un alxnit everywhere
1 all over the world, following her pro
I fcwdoti, and on account of her splendid
I talent commanding the highest of aal
j aric.
j The manager who induced the black
; eyed Carlotta to come to America in
i deed secured a prize that rare thing, a
' drawing card. The equestrienne came
. direct from St. Petersburg to New York,
bringing her own ring stock mid accom
panied by a groom.
There wn nooptiorttinity at that time
for tho company with which the artist
will to appear toopeu in New York, al
though during tho season riiiladclphia
and UoHtou wero favored with an opiHir
tunity of seeing a real queen of tho arena.
From all that I can learn tho foreign
artist wa exceedingly tractable, or, ns
the manager phrased it, "easy to get
along with." Said thosenioi partner to
mo, "If tliero wa ever a woman who
minded her own liusini ss, it is she. "
Corhitta, though, wa reticent and
dignified, and although she wa not fa
miliar nor permitted any familiarity on
the part of the other mcmlicr of the
company every attache admired her and
Kiko in her praise. It was the aiiinu
with the ring people, the concert folk
and the working force.
The Is antiful rider at this timo wore
serious ii I r, mid while slio wa not
pining away or running Into a decline
a smile rarely low to her lip, except
when the applause rung around the ring
and the people' plaudit caused her
black eye to dance with pleasure
Kime surmised that the woman wn
homesick and sighed for more familiar
Keened and surroundings, and ono sym
pathizing sisti-r, who had herself been
touched by a Cupid's dart, remarked:
"IguesMif the truth were known Car
lotta is iu love!"
That little mis wa a good guesscr.
She must have been a genuine Yankee.
(If course such a beautiful woman
ami such mi artist had admirer in the
company who would have breathed mat
rimonial iispiiatloli if they had re
ceived liny encouragement.
It i a matter ot fact that tho senior
iniinogcr, a widower, endeavored in
vain to capture the charming equestri
enne, but in spito of hi position and
hi solid fortune he received no more
encouragement than the other ambition
aspirant.
Whatever wa tho story of her heart,
tho woman had no coiilidant, mid the
season wa far advanced before any of
u wero any tho wiser a to her anteced
ents. A performer who had traveled much
abroad and appeared in foreign ci reuse
with our lady magnificent visited our
show, ami from him it was learned that
there wa a particular and pcculiai
i cause for tho presence in America of
! Carlotta, the rider.
1 wa just a hungry for the new as
any of them, and this is what this tnaii
bad to say a near a 1 can recall it:
"As you say, Carlotta is a great rider
and a good a sho i gtent. Why, she
set Kuiope ablaze, that woman did, and
it i iu tho Kuropenn capitals that an
arculc artist is appreciated. 1 know
that ImjUi by observation and experi
ence. "
The man spoke with enthusiasm, and
ho could have had no better listener. I
wa all attention a ho continued:
"Now, what I am going to tell yon is
acred. 1 inn not telling all the rest cf
this, but one can't help looking on so
Interesting a subject. Understand mo
that there was nosciind.il in theinattei,
but the secret Is out when I tell you that
Curlottu. thecircn rider, was loved by
a prince!"
1 repeated, "Carlotta, the circus
rider, was loved by a prince!"
"Just so," remarked the relator, fe-
sinning, "and now mark the result,
i Tho prince's family on learning the
i state of attain hustled the prini'e out of
, the way. Overtheto a prince must obey
oidcn or incur the royal displeasure.
I The young fellow was just 'buried,
' and his allowance was cut off. Hough
! on the proud piince, was it not?"
1 thought it was "rough" aud said
I io and then asked:
"Did the prince love the circus rider,
the supcih, the beautiful Carlotta?"
I "He did, wa the answer.
I "And the lider loved the prluoe?"
" Without a doubt."
"And where l the prince!"
I "llh, I suppose lie is Mill under par-
i ental surveillauce and displeasure."
"And will they ever b brought to
i gvtlicr agaiuV
"Love net only laughs at locksmiths,
but it grins st mad papas."
"But be has rank," 1 suggested.
"Yew, and be lias a heart," he re
turned. "He i not only prince, but
a mail."
That waa all he knew about the case,
ml 1 knew no more until the very last
day of the season, w hen a distinguished
feutlcmuii, with the air if nut the title
of a pi Hu e, anlved a visitor to onr
queen of the circle, the beautiful bru
nette, Carlotta.
i There is always something of a hurry
and a senrry when the circu season
coin'- to an md and the hand at the
lust performance playa "Home, Bweet
Home," and I wa unusually bny my
self, but nut so much engaged a not to
notice that Carlotta and the ttrarger
1 apx-ared to lie supremely happy.
What u act Carlotta rode at botb
performance that day! Such style,
such grace, such abandon) 1 remarked
it to one of the manager with the com
pliment; "A great rider!"
"Ureutt the world ever saw!" lie re
turned and added, "lint she I lost to
us. She will not ic-engugo."
"On account of the newcomer?" I
Suggested.
"More than likely," returned tho
tnunnger.
At tho breaking op of tho show there
wa a general handshaking and saying
of "Ooodby" all around. Tho lust 1
suid the word to wu the qniM-n of them
all, the js-erless Curlottu. Tho lx uuty
wu gru'jious, ami a sho extended her
little hand, with it j-wt b d fingers, site
tuid sweetly:
" Yon have all lieen no kind. Adien T'
That was nice, but Curlottu did not In
trod i ice me to bet distinguished visitor.
"Of course ho is tho prince," 1 suid
to myself. That was the lust timo I ever
saw either of them. And it wu year
and years l-fnr I even heard of them,
and then 1 obtaiued my information In
a peculiar way the information came
, nnsonght I stumbled iiimiii It.
I had engaged to go out with a tent
shew and wu sent for by tho manager
just ufter the holidays to do sotno writ
ing tip for Ihe next scuson. He bud la-en
; building some very coetly tableau curs
for the street pa rack-, and he took me
over to the winter quartet that 1 might
see them and expend some adjective de
scriptive of their massive grandeur.
At tho quarter 1 met several attache
with whom I hud traveled In previous
years, and one, Sailor Dan, wns over-
. joyed to meet me, u wo hud not seen
each other for year. The old canva-
i man' greeting wa a honest u it wa
; hearty. He explained:
"I am milking a net of cage covers for
the old man."
" Where have you lcii since I saw
; you last?" I asked.
i "Down in South America," he re
plied. "Hud a good, a greut time, but
after nil said mid done I'm glad to Imj
buck in tin country. Tliero i no place
like old Philadelphia, after all."
Fortunately tho manager was called
to another pint of the quarter, giving
Sailor Dun iieliimco to talk, mid ho wu
a greut talker.
" Yon see," said Dan, "when thatscii
on ended, when you saw me last, I en-
j gnged to Carlotta to go to South Amer
ica a lu r groom. You sec, her groom
, was that hone-sick that ho wouldn't

I "The prince?"
" Yes, a genuine out and out prince,

and shewn true to he, and all came
