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. Eliza Putnam Heaton. Unequalled—Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. 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.” A Wonderful Food and Medicine.
