A square of crimson Bilk, framed as if it wore an old print or a painting of merit, invariably provokes curiosity on the part of friends who call on Mr. James K. Hackett, the American actor. He explains that he prizes it as he does the letter of President Lincoln to his father, and one he received almost a hundred years later to himself from President Theodore Roosevelt. The mysterious bit of fabric is a scrap from the robes of Cardinal • Wolsey, worn by Sir Henry Irving. It is odd to recall that Mr. Hackett's father was playing in London ninety years ago.
