She made her first appearance on the stage in and is now in her twentieth year. ggie Mitchell was playing forty years before the war broke out, and has not grown a day younger since. She will be twenty years old in October. Alice Oates was sixteen years old when she annexed her first husband, and has married one man every other year since.

Figures won't lie. Little Lotta might be seventy-five years old, but she is not. Samnel J. Tilden wore short jackets and was in the infant class in the Sunday-school when Lotta made her debut in a minstrel troupe. She is now twenty sold, but she don’t look it.

She was either twenty or twenty-one last June, and looks fully two years older. Mrs. Langtry, who has been engaged for a season in this country, is quite a young actress, having been on the stage only one year. She has been in the professional beauty business several years, and if it be true that she was born in 1838, she is now just twenty years old. Bernhardt, the attenuated, is not what Mrs, Partington would call a ‘‘ centurion,” but she ix old enough to know better.
