"Mrs. Bogue says she is bathing the
baby and would you care to come up?”
■was the response brought to a Morn
ing News reporter, who had sent in a
card to Lilian Bell. It was encour
agement to ascend the stairs and rap
for admission.
•‘Come in,” called a clear, cheerful
voice, and a moment after there was
a cordial handclasp, across the baby
in her lap, of firm white fingers. One
notices Lilian Bell's hands. They are
strong and capable, the hands of a
large woman, not only in the physi
cal sense, but in character, and thor
oughly feminine.
"I hope you don’t mind coming up,”
said she. ‘‘You see, this is just the
hour for the baby's bath, and I never
let anything interfere with that.” Here
the baby, sitting upright in her lap,
murmured an unintelligible polysylla-

We and smiled confidingly at the
stranger over a plump, pinky-white
shoulder. Which was the stranger's
undoing. Ftor it is a delicious baby—
a baby to melt the heart of the most
hardened bachelor—brown of eye, rud
dy of cheek, golden of hair, satin of
skin and straight of limb.
"Oh, yes, I always bathe her my
self," went on the author of ‘‘Abroad
With the Jimmies,” pouring water into
the portable rubber tub, and then put
ting the baby through a pretty trick of
dipping her fingers in to see if it were
hot enough.
"And I always put her to sleep at
night. Don’t I, my precious?” The
baby's shirt was slipped skillfully over
her head and she was let into the tub
with a little splash. “The other ev

and stayed so late she fell asleep be

awinr
sorbing to both the mother and the
visitor, and there were so many pret
ty tricks to be exhibited of the baby
in her bath, who seemed to under
stand she was being interviewed and
amiably bent upon showing all she
knew, that conversation rather lan
guished until she was lifted out of the
tub, with some expostulation from her
self, wrapped in a soft blanket, and
held for a happy interval in her moth
er's arms before rubbing down.
It was shortly after that the sight of
the sturdy little body, glowing with
health, prompted one to inquire if she
had ever been ill. An arresting silence
followed. Lilian Bell's face was sud
denly grave. Her dark eyes—very
dark, and always full of sparkle be
hind the glasses, with enthusiasm, or
fun, or affection, as her mood is—had
stopped sparkling and looked almost
alarmed. She glanced at her husband,
who had come into the room. ”Nevei
sick a day in her life,” said Mr. Bogue
proudly.
"Oh, dear! Do rap on wood," ex
-2ni ,n * and his wite - “I wouldn't have
said that for anything in the world. ]
never answer questions like that.”
"At lioiue With the Jardines.”
The visitor recognized the senti
ment. This was the Lilian Bell of “At
Home With the Jardines,” whose
sprightly heroine, when her husbana
observed, "I think we've got a regulai
old cast iron angel in Mary,” crieo
frantically, "Oh, rap on wood! Do yoi
want her to spill soup down your neck
to-nieht?”
Asked about the Jardines, her last
book, published in August, she said:
“Yes, most of it is from our actual ex
periences. We really did go to the
Waldorf and make the apartment
house people pay the bill when they
wouldn’t turn the heat on because it
wasn’t Nov. 15. And the part about
Mary was really true, every word of
it. She came to me at the Waldorf,
and I set down our conversation ver
batim. We both thought it such fun.’
"Such fun” is a great expression ol
Lilian Bell’s, and very indicative of
her general attitude towards life. She
finds her baby, her sewing, all her oc-
cupations and experiences, “such fun.”
“And the end of Mary,” she con
tinued, “was just as incomprehensible
as I made it in the book. I think her
jealousy and our prosperity were too
much for her. Not that we were so
amazingly prosperous, you know,”
added Mary’s mistress, with her twin
kling smile, "but the rise in our for
tunes from the time when she was our
single domestic.”
The baby, now clothed in a flowing
wrapper, was daintily sipping granum
from a cup in her mother's hand, stop
ping between each mouthful to smile
distractingly at the stranger. "Now I
can send her away with the nurse
and we can really talk.” said the
baby’s mother. "No, she hasn’t figured
in any of my stories yet, and I never
expect to write about her.” There
was expressive emphasis on the last
word to indicate the preciousness of the
baby who was not to be written about.
“In fact, I find I don’t write much
since her advent, and I don’t know
how I ever will write, if I am going
to make her clothes. Look at this—
this is the first dress I ever made. All
by hand. Be sure you look at the
wrong side first. Just admire those

stitches while I roll down my sleeves
and fix my collar. Do I like to sew?
Oh, I love it!”
“I love it.” is an expression of a
piece with her, "such fun.” There is,
in fact, a fresh enthusiasm about her,
a spontaneous joy in the things that
please her, and a quick decision in
response, that make conversation with
her facile and fluent. One is reminded
often of the breezy style and origi
nality of her books and sketches. In
eply to a polite hope that she would
ike Savannah, “Oh, we love it!” she
-xclaimed. “We expect to live here, if
Mr. Bogue's business interests become
permanent. So many people have said
hey should think it would bore me. I
say, why should it? I have my world
with me. I know I am not a bit mod
•rn, but I do think no woman can
have better ambition than to make
her home and bring up her children.”
One was reminded again of the Jar
lines. where she confesses “I am not
sentimental after the fashion of women
who send flowers to murderers, but I
vm full of pale and sickly theories as
'.o the making of a home.”
Didn't Marry Young.
“Then, you know,” she continued,
apologizing for her sanity, 'I didn't
n.*arry young, and have none of the
impatience of young mothers, who so
often feel that they have sacrificed
their youth, and their time for enjoy
ment. I have enjoyed so many things.
Now when I am sewing 'the baby's
clothes I have something to think
about. I like change of scene, yes. and
meeting new people, but not excitement.
I don’t expect to exhaust the social
resources of Savtinnah soon. I have
met some charming people. The cli
mate is delightful. I love the old
houses. Why should I b? bored?” she
finished, seating herself in a rocker
near the open fire. “Besides, you know
I love the South. Of course. I have
lived North since I was about thirteen,
but I have never felt that it was home,
t should like people to feel that I am
not a Northerner coming South, but
a Southerner coming home. Once we
went to a concert North, and some ne
groes sang plantation melodies. I cried,
positively cried hard. I was so home
sick. But I did have the loveliest time”
—her eyes .twinkled at the inconsis
tency—“thoroughly enjoyed myself, you
know,” she explained, with a whole
some laugh at her own “emotional
mountain peaks and dark deep valleys,”
as she puts it in the Jardines.
“Yes, I was born South, in Atlanta.
My mother was from Bangor, Me., my
grandmother from Richmond, and my
grandfather from West Tennessee. I
used to spend ten weeks there every
summer on my aunt’s farm. Oh, how
I loved it! That was where I got the
material for 'A Little Sister to the Wil
derness.’ I began to write when
I was eight, but my first published
book was 'The Love Affairs of an Old
Maid.’ By-the-way, I never did any
newspaper work. That is the most
erroneous and widespread impression.
I was never on a newspaper in my life.
I began by writing books, and even the
magazine articles came long after. I
don't know that I ever had any special
training for writing, but I remember
when I used to read my first efforts
to my mother, she would sometimes say,
‘That may be clear to you but it is not
clear to me.’ That was scathing criti
cism. I always tried to have my style
as clear as possible—and short sen
tences. But was there anything spec-
WASHINGTON SOCIETY ON
THE EVE OF A GAY SEASON
Mrs. Roosevelt’s Collection of Winter Gowns
Said to Bea Stunning One.
Washington, Nov. 19.—After more
than half a year of dullness, the social
calendar of the capital has again
taken on considerable Importance; but
the brilliancy of the present week is
only a faint fore-shadowing of what
may be expected when “the season”
is fairly on. Just now Mrs. Roosevelt
is in New York but is scheduled to
return on Friday. Of course she is
in pursuit of “gaud and gear” for win
ter's festivities.
It is hinted that the President's wife,
though reasonable sure of the elec
tion, held her plans with the modistes
in abeyance until the momentous
event. Had her reign as first lady
ended in three short months, no new
gowns would have been added to her
already large collection. The wife of
an ex-Presldent, who has thereafter
no special social position to maintain—
being really of less consequence in the
actual “swim” than any country Con
gressman's wife—may spend the rest
of her days trying to wear out, re
model, or give away thousands of dol
lars worth of splendid garments for
which she has little future use.
Mrs. McKinley, who dressed as well.
If not better than any of her prede
cessors, and delighted in lovely laces,
soft blues and elegant white satins,
being suddenly plunged into deepest
mourning which she will never dis
card, had no personal use whatever
for her extensive wardrobe. But she
was fortunate in having plenty of
young nieces, who straightway fell
heirs to the costly collection. Close
observers In Washington could not fail
to recognise some of the beautiful
lace which the fragile wife of the late
President wore so charmingly, in a
vaudeville show a couple of weeks
ago, on the person of Miss Mabel Mc-
Kinley (Mrs. Baer), who sang her
numbers as blithely as she used to do
in the White House for “Aunt Ida”
and "Uncle William.”

Washington, Nov. 19.—Leading citi
zens of the District of Columbia, alert
to the responsibility of making credit
able preparations for the President's
inauguration, are already discussing
plans, especially for the inaugural ball.
Local business men who contribute
to the inaugural fund are concerned
about a suitable place for the ball.
A resolution was passed by Congress,
after much agitation, following the sec
ond inaugui'ai of President McKinley,
prohibiting the use of the Pension Of
fice for that purpose in the future,
because of the loss to the government
from holding the ball there.
The inaugural ball provides the reve
nue for recompensing those who ad
vance the necessary funds for the in
augural preparations. Should the ball
be omitted and no substitute for it ar
ranged, practically none of the local
subscriptions, amounting to approxi
mately $60,000, would be returned.
Again, were it known that the money
subscribed would not be in large.part
returned, citizens could only with diffi
culty be persuaded to give the large
amount required.
The inaugural ball at the beginning
of one of Grant’s administrations was
held in a temporary structure in Ju
diciary Square. Those present were
j very uncomfortable because of the cold.
|lt is doubtful if such an experiment
i will be repeated next March unless
' some improved methods for heating
Ia temporary structure can be as
j sured.
Substitutes for the inaugural ball
I have been informally talked over. One
' of them is the erection of a temporary
I structure on the white lot, where eav

attractions might be held.

rupted herself, with that directness that
is most characteristic of her and the
most engaging part of her perfectly
natural manner.
The Typical Novel of To-day.
”1 never did know how to be inter
viewed. Oh, of course, you want to
know if I am writing a book or intend
to write one in Savannah. No. really.
Inm not. But I have often thought I
should like to write the typical Amer
ican novel. The period of that, I think,
should be about twenty years before
the Civil War. Not the Civil War,
when conditions were distorted; not
the Reconstruction; certainly not to
day, when we have no American type.
The South is as different a land from
the North as the West from the Rast."
Interested in her subject, Lilian Bell
talks with a. flowing ease and simplic
ity of expression.
“To write a typical American novel
of to-day. you would have to take one
of New Orleans, one of East and one
of West Tennessee, one of Chicago,
one of New York’s Smart Sot, one of
the West, and one of the Indians, and
fit them all together. I don’t care to
undertake that. I don’t consider The
Scarlet Letter' the typical American
novel, though it has most often been
called so. But if one could get a pic
ture of the South twenty years before
the war, when refinement, chivalry and
romance were in their flower, that
would be the pure type of American
life. That is what I should like to
write. And I believe the material for
it could be obtained in Savannah, If one
were allowed access to it, if people
would believe that it would be handled
reverently and sympathetically, by one
honoring the privilege. It would take
three years, at least, to collect the ma
terial for such a work, but that is what
I should like to do in Savannah, and I
would gladly give three years to do it
in.”
Another warm handclasp bade the
visitor good-bye. Half way down the
steps, a voice recalled her.
‘‘l hope you know the baby's name,"
said Lilian Bell, leaning over the ban
isters. “We call her Lilian Bell Bogue.
