CARMENCITA. NO dancer since the days of Fannie Ellsler has attracted so much attention in America as has Carmencita, the Spanish dancer. She came to America two years but not much was heard of her until last autumn, when New York society took her up, and since then the concert hall where she performs has been crowded nightly. It has also become the craze for wealthy people to have her at their houses, paying her a large fee to come and dance for amusement of their friends. Carmencita is about twenty-one years old, speaks nothing but Spanish, can neither read nor write, and yet manages to receive an income considerably greater than that of a good many college presidents.

THE HANGING ROCKS. THIS eccentricity of nature is one, of the most interesting features of picturesque Newport.
