"The Stalwart Benjamin" and "Lord Mortimer" were cut
from pasteboard, and fastened up by wires, and, of course, no one
knew that they were not people. The "Ballad" was read behind the
scenes.--Truly yours,
KITTY B. WHIPPLE.

DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: Papa has bought me every number of the ST.
NICHOLAS you have ever published, and as I have seen several
letters asking you about different things, I thought I would ask
you about something I do not understand. If it is not really known
who wrote the plays "Titus Andronicus" and "Pericles, Prince of
Tyre," what circumstances lead people to think Shakspeare wrote
them?
I have enjoyed you extremely, and as the Little Schoolma'am seems
always to answer such questions, I write to you hoping you will ask
her.--I am your fond admirer,
ETHEL DAVIS.
The Little Schoolma'am says it is not absolutely certain who wrote the
plays you name, but this is about the way the matter stands:
The play "Titus Andronicus" is not now believed to have been originally
written by Shakspeare.
