Very recently an arllile appeared In The Billboard, atatlng that Nellie Revell was 'to ac- company Mile, rolalre on her return to I'urla. It would seem that a remark- relative to the attitude of The FMara toward tbo little lady has caused some adTrtic coauaeat. and for ttala reason an explanatory aole has been Issned by her. and la glTea herewith. ••WbUe I thmugbly appreciate the kindly spirit which actuated the tenor of the article. It Is apt to be misleading, as It sounds like a defeniie as well s.1 s congratulation, and might Sive the Impression that I had complained about tbe Friars, and I should deeply rvgvet such a rumor, inasmacb as I am Indebted to tbe Frlara In many ways. In fact.
