The book Is "A Diary of the Old Vic" the London theatre) which has "become the home of Shakespeare." Mies Lilian Bayli. manager of the "Old Vic." writes an interestin? preface.

For all those interested in Shakespeare and the stage this book should have a great attraction. Not only doe the Author let us Into the eeret of rehearsal and production at the hand of Mr. Robert Atkins, but she tell us amusing and interesting incidents about that most famou and popular theatre "The Old Vic." Miss Westwood was a student In the. "Old Vic" Company, and the book is a complete Diary from the first 'day rehearsal to the last night of the season. Perhaps its greatest charm Is the eager enthusiasm with which the Author records each new experience.

The book Is no history of famou names, but rather a record of those whose work and genius has yet to be proved. There i but little doubt we ehall welcome in the near future as gifted actors and actresses some of those whom we now meet for the first time. It is a history of hard work, of success and failure, of laughter and tears, with here and there quotations from the eighteen plays produced which cast a new glamour and interest on some of Shakesepare's most lovely lines. "Reminiscences," that Is the short but comprehensive title of a delightful book from the pen of Mrs. J.

Comyns-Carr. It Is published by Hutchinson Lon-don. Mrs. Comyns-Carr's Reminiscences cover, in a witty and Interesting manner, all the prominent features of the literary, artistic and social world during the last fifty years. She gives intimate and careful picture of the many prominent people who have been famous during this period.

She tells many new and original stories of Henry Irving. Ellen butter buy she was almost on the point of destroying herself by hanging but was prevented by a gentleman who gave her money for food and lodging and some very good advice. She ultimately reached Bristol and, after various adventures, met a gentlemanly type of man named Baker who befriended her and soon after became her husband. This man had traveled In many parts of the world and from him she picked up enough Oriental phrases and idioms to enable her to pose as an Oriental native and even to imitate something like Oriental writing.

Coming to Bristol she found that she had not mnnov in nav her passage. Her little store had dwindled away IT WAS UU la ia evealng of a gloriou spring day. a Utttt mor than a hundred year ago.

that Squire Samuel Worrall. a magistrate ia the country of Gloucestershire, England, was sipping hia port and meditating enr hia paper upon th political aituatien when he wa interrupted by a eonstaLle. an officer th pariah of Almondsbury. who desired to ae him upon baslne. The constable was there to ask the magistrates advice about a young woman who had appeared in the Tillage.

This young woman, be said, could give no account of herself, but she was voluble la a language that not one of the parishioner eoold understand. She was decently dressed, a woman of attractive and even striking appearance and. of singularly prepossessing grace and manner vgeesting that she might be one of her country's aristocracy. The constable said he did not like to treat her as a vagrant, though he only had a few copper coins with her and looked very wearied and hungry. A STRIKIITO rWtSOMAUTT The magistrate asked the constable to bring the young woman Into his presence.

This was not readily done for she appeared timid and apprehensive. When she had been persuaded to see the magistrate be and his wife questioned her without eliciting any Information because they could not understand a word of what she said. The magistrate had, strange to say, a Greek servant In his household who could talk several languages. This man was fetched in, but. he, too, was unable to understand a word the woman said.

Mrs. Worrall was much impressed by her appearance and obtained for her a bed in the village and she sent her own footman and maid to conduct her to the lodging. The young woman, who was able to indicate that her name was Cara-boo arid that was the only word of all she said which could be understood. She was not tall, but she was particularly graceful and animated. She had black eyes of remarkable brilliance, an olive complexion, abundant black hair and very white teeth, and was, apparently, about years of age.

When she reached an apartment In one of the village houses she indicated a desiro to sleep, and she was evidently, very much fatigued-But it was with much reluctance that she consented to sleep on a bed, evidently preferring the floor. The next morning she came down from her bedroom and sat by the fire in a very disconsolate attitude. She would only drink water or very weak tea and expressed by signs some disgust when animal food was put before her, only eating fruit. Later on in the day the constable took her before the mayor of Bristol, but neither the mayor nor any of his officials coiilr" understand her language. Returning to the lodging in the parish of Almondsbury she stayed for some days and evinced some pleasure and Interest in anything resembling Oriental colors, and, If the occasion offered, she would drape her head' and shoulders in any material in an Oriental' manner.

After some days it chanced that a Portugese man, named Manuel Eynesso, was found by the magistrate and he endeavored to hold converse with "Cariboo." He clajmed to understand her language. According to his Interpretation the young woman was a princess. She had lived In the Orient surrounded by Oriental luxury. Her father had been killed and she was captured by pirates. For many weeks she had remained on the pirate vessel and visited several foreign ports, but she knew nothing of the places the ship touched at.

Ultimately he had escaped from her captors and, Jumping overboard, she had reached the shore and found herself upon English soil. She had then wandered until she came to the village In Gloucestershire where she was found. She had exchanged her Oriental costume with some gypsies who gave ner a of English make. rOPCI.AIl FAVORITE It was later discovered that this story was a romance of the imaginative Portugese "interpreter." But the Btory was believed and the stranger was treated with much kindness by the Gloucestershire villagers and she won their esteem and affection. She became quite a favorite with Squire Worrall and his lady.

They gave her material with which to clothe herself in a costume more In accordance with her rank and she made up this material with much taste in Oriental fashion, as Is shown in her picture, which was painted by a Bristol ar until. In despair, sne aecioea to practise an imposture until she might get enough to proceed to America, of which country she had. it appears, always dreamed. After hearing her story Mrs. Worrall set about testing Its accuracy and found nnPat it seemed that the Kirl had not lived a vicious life and this was, perhaps, the only aeceii sue had practised.
