A POPULAR LIT3RAUY WOMAN.
Some Points Showing How Ella
Wheeler Wilcox Writes Verses.
[Copyrighted, ]B->r.J
)New York, Due. 10. —“Hike to be inter
rupted.”
I doubt if there is another woman in New
York who would have made this remark iu
just the way that did Ella Wheeler Wilcox
a day or two since. -
It was the dreariest of early winter days,
sullen and dark and dirty as only rainy days
In the city can be. The park policeman at
the door of the sentry box at the Eighth
avenue entrance to Central Park bent his
head forward experimentally and a rill of
water trickled olf his helmet. The Ninth
avenue elevated cars sent down wet and
soggy cinders instead of dry, aggressive
ones. Everybody out of doors was be
clrabbled and everybody indoors was blue.
Yet there was Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
daintily gowned in the palest of pale blue
stilt matinees, with cascades of lace falling
about it iu one place and another, with her
desk drawn up close to the window, writing
away cheerily and looking up as brightly as
jf the sun shone and the world was not dis
gustingly damp to look at outside.
Mrs. Wilcox has been living for some few
months in a cosy flat in West Sixtieth
street, and is full of work and literary
plans.
“I like to be interrupted.” she repeated,
“and that is one reason why I like New
York; there is no other place where inter
ruption comes so easily.
"No, I am not one of the poets who fly to
nature. I don’t mean auy disrespect to" na
ture; the pathless forests are very fine things
in themselves, but they don't in
spire me like human beings, hu
man thoughts and human doings. 1 want
to be among people and’feel the pulse of hu
manity throb. I enjoy having my fellow
creatures about me. I like to hear the teams
rattle by in the street. I like to stop work
now and then and go out and walk down
town and see the world busy as it is busy
here in the city every day.
“I believe I write best with people about
me iu the room. Of course I shouldn’t wish
to feel that they were dependent on me
for entertainment, but I like the atmos
phere of a social company, chatting among
themselves and speaking to me now- and
then. I can join in the talk and then go
back to pen and paper just as readily as if
1 were alone.”
“And you don’t find the thread of your
thoughts broken or confused?”
“If I stop half a dozen times I know that
the lines will run just as smoothly iu the
end as if I had turned the key upon myself
and insisted on a tine frenzy in solitude. I
mean it. I like to be interrupted. It is two
months ago now that a poem came to me at
the theatre one night. I had time to write
a few verses only, and since then I have
been out of town, and I have been learning
tp cook and I have had other writing to do.
It was not until Sunday evening that I
found time to finish that poem. There
were people here until 10:30, but when I
was able to sit down at my writing table the
stanzas came as fresh and as naturally as if
the thought hadn’t been interrupted for
weeks in finding expression.”
"You are in New York permanently?” I
asked her
“Yes, I think so,” she said. “I feel at
home here, and 1 have been a professional
guest a great deal. That is exactly the
phrase, if it does make you laugh. My
father and mother lived in the country, anil
from the time I was 10, when my poems
began to attract attention, people kept in
viting me here, there and somewhere else.
They were very kind, and it was a great ad
vantage for me to see things of course; so I
was three months in one place, and two
months in another, and when I was mar
ried it cost me some thinking to remember
where my gowns were. 1 had left dresses in
Madison, and in St- Louis ami in Chicago.
My wardrobe was scattered wherever I had
been visiting. Now, here, I have gathered
by lares and penates about me, and there is
room for my desk at one window and my
husband's at the other.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a very domestic
little woman in many way, sand she says she
finds Mr. Wilcox’s criticism of great Value
to her in writing.
It is a pretty menage that she has, home
like and inviting, with plenty of books, pic
tures and bric-a-brac, all in soft, artistic
colorings, and with the faintest touch of
nosy Bohemianism evidenced in the lack of
stiff parlor arrangements and the cheerful
litter of writing materials.
It is a pretty mistress that the menage has
as well. Mrs. Wilcox must be somewhere
in the neighborhood of 30, but her tace is
very youthful in contour and fresh in color
ing.
The poet of passion, whose fame was
built up so quickly and has endured so well,
is a woman of medium height or therea
bouts, of graceful, flexible figure and notice
ably pretty hands. One of her most at
tractive features is her very beautiful hair,
which is soft and heavy, brown with warm
red lights shining through it. Her face is
charming in repose, but it is the quiet charm
of a happily married, contented woman.
It is only when she speaks and the eyas light
up and the noble features become expressive
of emotion, the whole face aglow with the
thought behind the word, that Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, the poet, as she has made herself
known in literature, is differentiated from
the pretty homebody who likes to have her
husband bring his business home from the
office and finish it in the big comfortable
armchair beside her while she is at work.
She does not resent the title which some
body gave her a while ago of newspaper
poet.
“1 have met very little unfriendly criti
cism, 1 ' she says, “in my life. The world
has been good to me. ‘A newspaper
poet,’ I suppose, was meant for a slur, but I
don’t take it so. Where else can one find in
these days an audience so wide as that the
newspapers give! Newspaper can do more
for a writer than any other possible agency.
Magazines have taken my poems, but every
thing is so slow in publication through the
magazines that one has to get out of con
ceit with one’s work before it appears. It
comes fresher and more timely through a
big newspaper.
“I have a friend who had a magazine
article accepted and paid for ten years ago.
It lias not appeared yet. In a way that is
unfair to authors, who don’t care always to
own every stray child of the brain when it
is ten years old. One is supposed to im
prove,’ and it is not always pleasant to
have old work turning up and claiming to
be fresh.
“I hurried a publication of a poem of mine
in the Century , by accident almost, last
winter. I was at a small evening gather
ing and nearly every one had been doing
somethingfor the entertainment of the com
pany. Finally they asked me to read, and I
gave them some verses of my own. There
■ware some elocutionists present and they
crowded around mo and asked for copies to
recite. I told them they would have to ask
the Century Company, for the poem Jiad
been paid for by them and it would not lie
right for mo to run any risk of its getting
into print. Mr. Ashton, who killed himself
H while ago, did go to the Century people
and, having their leave, read the poem in
Washington. The Cent ury published it, I
think, the next month."
Mrs. Wilcox has been doing a series of
prose article for newspaper publacation of
late which will be collected in book form,
but she hns not by auv means neglected the
muse. Foems sing themselves in her brain
and insist on being written down. There
will be a companion volume to the “Poems
of Passion” before long, though very proba
bly not until pextyear. Inasmuch as women
authors almost without exception do their
best work when they are well past 80.
coining volumes from her pen will be looked
for with interest as the products of matur
ing power.
Mrs. Wilcox is a woman who makes
warm friends and many of them. She is a
brilliant conversationalist and youug girls
are especially attracted to her.

WOMEN AND THEIR DOINGS.
! Large Amount of Money Spent for
Trifles.
New York, Dec. 10.—A slender woman
| with short browii curly hair and very pretty
: bonnet that yet somehow was not a New
ork bonnet was looking at carpets at the
warerooms of a prominent manufacturer
tiie other day.
Her face had the round, almost childish
outline which one woman in some thou
sands preserves beyond 30, and her eyes
were big and brown and shy, of the sort
which the average man, or woman either,
always succumbs to. She was daintily
dressed and she had dainty manners. Her
tones were low aiid feminine, yet she was
so far unsexed that she was giving a largish
order in a straightforward, civilized busi
ness-like way.
“Do many women buyers visit you?” I
asked experimentally with my eyes ou the
browu curls.
“Three or four a week, perhaps, and the
number is increasing. That woman there
is the largest of the feminine buyers, and
she has a romantic story if you care to hear
it. Nice eyes, hasn’t she?”
“She is not so pretty now, though, as she
was when I saw her first. That was, yes it
must be ten years ago. She had a rosy color
then, and she looked the happiest creature
in the world.
“Her father and her lover brought her
here one day. Her father was a prosperous
carpet dealer in an lowa town on a business
trip to the city, and the lover who was his
clerk just admitted to a junior partnership.
She was going to carry one of them off to a
matinee and drop in here to pass an hour be
fore theatre time.
“The three of them looked at carpets to
gether and the girl was bubbling over with
laughter and sunshine. She proposed to
help the men in their stock replenishing and
they were surprised to find that she had
very common-sense views as to what her
neighbors at home would or would not
buy. Half in jest they let her make
her own selections, and she chose fifty
to one hundred rolls with amazing discrim
ination.
“It was a week after that, I suppose,
when the party went home. There was a
railroad accident, and the lover was killed
and the father maimed. Do you suppose
that girl sat down and let her life run
t rough her fingers? Not she. She took her
father’s business, and has been a customer
of ours ever since, turning up twice a year
as regularly as the seasons come around.
She is making money and is a successful
business woman. Has a bigger store than
her father had, they tell me.
“She has never married and I don’t be
lieve she ever will.
“I have a fancy sometime that she trades
here because she associates us with the time
before her lover died,”
“And do your other women buyers mako
good business men?”
“Closest buyers we have, some of them. I
know one woman whose husband owns a
large curtain, upholstering and carpet busi
ness, in fact a general house furnishing
store, and that woman knows more of the
actual details of the business than he does,
though he’s no fool, let me tell you. One
of our women buyers has taken to de
signing also, and she brought me one of
the prettiest carpet designs that I have
ever seen, a while ago. We were only too
glad to make it up for her, and the pattern
is now one of the best selling ‘bodys’ we
have in stock.”
“But don’t you find that women as a rule
are more easily influenced than menf”
“Not in business Once let a woman un
derstand thoroughly what she is about and
she will never be imposed on. She will
give her attention to every detail, choose
her goods with a perfect knowledge of her
market, and exercise much better taste than
the average mule buyer. It is all in her line
as a house furnisher. Add business sense to
her natural home-making instincts and you
have an ideal carpet buyer. I think I could
give you the names of two dozen lady buy
ers who visit us often, and they are one and
all doing well.
There is a deal of money floating around
in the world nowadays and a respectable
proportion of it goes into trifles for women.
Somebody showed me an ostrich feather
fan in a Broadway store yesterday. Its sticks
were of chosen pieces of mother of pearl
inlaid with gold. On each was set a
tiny golden rose and in the heart of each rose
sparkled a diamond. The ostrich plumes
were thick and heavy, such feathers as one
seldom sees. Each was chosen expressly for
its position, and the whole made the dainti
est white toy that ever a woman played
with. It, was to cost SI,OOO and was meant,
I was told, for a Christmas gift to Mrs.
George Gould. It was ordered by a friend
of the family or by one of the younger Gould
boys and will outshine anything iu Pauline
Hall’s famous collection.
People not so rich as the Goulds, plain,
ordinary, everyday millionaires, are put
ting a year’s income for many hard-work
ing fuhc into similar toilet trifles. I have
seen within the week an umbrella which is
to belong to a woman unknown to fame,
but which has eaten up money at an extra
ordinary rate. It has a cover of silk, hand
woven, by a Brooklyn man who alone pos
sesses the secret of its peculiar sheen. Its
handle is a long hook of hard wood over
laid with oxydtzed silver upon which are
set curios of all sorts, each in its way an
artistic gem. There are daintily cut cameos,
old gold coin, snakes outlined in rubies, a
toad in emeralds, a head of Bacchus etched
in silver —every odd notion that the fancy
can devise, all to make an umbrella suen
as no woman ever earned before.
A jeweled watch is set in the end of the
stick and the price is counter! in the hun
dreds. Eliza P. Heaton.
A Good Thing About the Bastile.
From the London Truth.
We have heard a good deal of the Bastile,
but under the old French regime the
political prisoners who were confined in it
were lodged decently and decently fed; they
were not required to do any work, nor were
they made to associate with criminals.
Linguet, who was imprisoned there, thus
describes the rooms: “They have stoves or
open fireplaces. The furniture consists of a
bed with curtains and a mattress; one or
two tables, two or three chairs, two jugs, a
candlestick, a knife, fork, and cup. and a
matchbox.” Dumouriez, another captive,
gives this account of the food: “Dumouriez
was accustomed to have his dinner brought
him by his servant every day at 3 o’clock,
who was an excellent cook. The food was
excellent in the Bastile. Dumouriez had
for dinner five plates and three for his sup
per, without counting the dessert.” Mar
montel, another captive, publishes the
menu of one day’s dinner i “An excellent
soup, a succulent slice of beef, a wing of a
chicken, artichokes in oil spinach, some
stewed pears, fresh grapes, a bottle of old
Burgundy, and an excellent cup of coffee.”
The Venetian prisons have been often
denounced, but Casanova gives this account
of his treatment when imprisoned “under
tho leads” by the Venetian Inquisitors:
“ ‘What do you want for your dinner f said
the jailer. I replied, ‘a rice soup, some
roast meat, and some wine.’ A quarter of
an hour later he returned and asked me to
writ*' down any objects of furniture that I
might require. At 12 o’clock he came back
with five soldiers, carrying the furniture
and my dinner, and gave me some books
which the Secretary of the Inquisitors bad
sent me. When they all withdrew I ate my
dinner, and passed the rest of the day in my
armchair reading the books that he had left.
The next morning the jailer returned, made
my bed, cleaned my room, and brought me,
with mv breakf st, some lemons.” The
French Bastile and the Venetian Piombi are
always cited as the vilest of the political
prisons which have ever opened their doors
at the bidding of despotism". This is why I
have cited these passages. But it would bo
equally easy to cite from tbe “Memoirs of
Baron Trenck,” and from “My Prisons” of
Silvio Pellieo, to prove that neither
Frederick the G’ eat nor the Austrian
Government treated political prisoners as
ordinary crimina s. Even Russia manes the
distinction among those condemned to Si
beria.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1837.
COSTLY POCKETBOCKS.
Street Car Manners as Witnessed in
New York.
New York, Dec. 10.—Even the
pocketbook, receptacle for cash, costs
a great deni of cash to buy. If you
meet Ada Rehan, stately and dignified, on
Broadway any fins afternoon, you will
notice that she carries in her hand a pocket
book of polished alligator leather, something
like three inches wide and fully twelve
inches long. It is bound in silver, has two
silver locks and a silver flap, etched in an
intricate pattern of running vines. It is
not worth less than $75 and probably cost
more.
It is not long since a reporter was sent to
write up a wedding, not in society circles or
among rich people at all, and the point about
the bride’s toilet, to which his attention was
especially directed By the family friend who
supplied the items, was the prayer-book,
bound in gold, which she carried to the
altar, and which with its fine engraved
work and jewels was valued at s‘2oo.
Women are not the only sinners in the
matter of luxurious trifles, however. Sena
tor Tabor’s gorgeous "night robes,” which
were the talk of the country a year or more
ago, and Bob Hilliard’s green silk pantaloons
of more recent fame, are eclipsed by a
gentleman’s traveling bag which came under
ray notice this week. It was of moderate
size and of inconspicuous exterior, but with
in there rested against a pale blue plush
lining, hand-painted and be-ribboned, each
in a compartment by itself, silver combs,
silver-backed brushes, a half dozen cut glass
bottles for minor conveniences, each with
monogram on the silver top, all in such
artistic shapes and such elaborate workman
ship that its owner, who is a very quiet
person and not especially rich, has paid a
considerable fraction of a thousand dollars
for it, and thought it cheap at that.
There never was a time when so much
could be had for so little money or when so
little was industriously made to cost so much.
STREET CAR MANNERS
Any change in street car manners in the
future must be for the better since the ex
treme of badness has now been reached.
Not since we became so English has the
average woman under 60 expected any man,
under ordinary circumstances, to resign his
place to her, unless, indeed, he were a South
erner or a wild Westerner, unaccustomed to
New York ways, but until quite recently
the woman with a child in her arms, the
woman who looked sick or the woman with
white hair has seldom been obliged to stand.
Even now such women usually get seats, but
it is because women themselves are setting
the example of consideration to the feeble
members of their own sex, not because men
offer the courtesy.
In a ride of eight blocks on a crowded car
yesterday I saw a bright-looking working
woman put an overburdened mother with
her child into her seat, and a pretty girl
offer a place to an elderly woman and two
schoolgirls jump up together to make room
for a feeble old man with a cane. Not a man
moved in either case.
On the elevated roads at the rush hours it
is not an uncommon thing to find one’s way
into a car in which not a woman is sitting
nor a man standing. How this comes about
I saw illustrated a few nights ago in a very
practical way. A Third avenue train had
just accomplished its down trip and was
showing up at the bridge station, prepara
tory to taking a load of wearied humanity
up town and home. There were few people
in the car, but a crowd was waiting on the
platform outside. Before the train had come
to a standstill half the windows on the plat
form side were thrown up and men swarmed
through the openings, three good-sized
fellows scrambling across the lap of a woman
in front of me before she had time to rise or
take a step toward leaving the car. Two
men climbed over me in the same fashion,
and in half a minute’s time every seat was
taken by the sex masculine, before a pas
senger had alighted or any woman who
must needs wait u[>on the proprieties, had
had an opportunity to enter by the door.
An able-bodied woman has as good a
right to stand as an able-bodied man, and
women have come to recognize that fact
pretty generally, but there ought to be so
much of a refornf as to permit them an equal
chance at the seats in the first place or else
a cessation of the complaints about the scar
city of thank yous.
FALSE DIAMONDS.
We don’t see so many diamonds as we
think we do nowadays. Rhinestones and
paste are taking their places off as well as
on the stage. There are numbers
of women in New York known to possess
jewels worth thousands of dollars, the cut,
setting and appearance of which are per
fectly' familiar to society people, to thieves
and to a great many people who cannot be
reckoned in either of. these classes. These
gems are a regular part of the entertainment
guaranteed to tbe purchaser of an opera
ticket, and the holder of the same would feel
_that an implied contract had been violated
iif their wearers stayed at homo or neglect'd
to spread a traveling show window over
their velvet corsages in the great gold casket
of the auditorium, with its horseshoe curves
of boxes full of the customary bench show
of prize dames, damsels and beaux. And
yet the gems—not the women—are frequently
absent when we think them there. Isawtthe
fac simile of a pretty well-known diamond
necklace at a jewelry counter a few days
ago.
“All rhinestones," 1 was told. There is
anew method of cutting and mounting them,
which bring out greater brilliancy and
makes it possible to dispense with the solid
filling at the back which used to distinguish
the stones at once from real gems. These
are safer things to wear. They relieve the
mind frpm anxiety about losing or stealing;
and so ladies are Slaving duplicates of the
contents of their jewel cases made up in
rhinestones and the genuine articles locked
away from danger in safe deposit vaults. It
takes more than a casual examination to
detect the difference, and so the poor thief
has a hard time. F.. P. H.
WHY HE LEFT THE BOX.
An Incident of a Ball Game Between
the Buffalo and Providence Teams.
From the New York Evening Warid.
The base ball convention just ended at
the Fifth Avenue brought out many good
stories of the diamond, which was told in
odd comers while the league committee and
the brotherhood representatives were en
joying their conference behind closed doors.
Among the stories related was one about
“Jimmie” Galvin, over which Harry Wright
and a group of league notables laughed
heartily and well.
The incident happened at Buffalo, where
the Providence team were pitted > against
the home olayers. Galvin pitched for the
Bisons and the ball was hit four times in its
first few starts toward tho catcher. Four
successive errors for the Buffalo infield fol
lowed these four taps on the sphere and
four Providence men got unearned bases.
Gravely, then, “Jimmie” laid the ball
down in the pitcher’s box, beckoned to the
change pitcher to come in from right field,
and he himself started out.
“Where are you goingi” roared the cap
tain.
“Out in the field.”
“And what for I Who told you to go?”
“Well,” replied the irate Jamesg in grand
stand tones, “I’d a had to go out ii those had
been base hits.”
