the owner Is probably the last person on earth
to change its color. She is of very positive
temperament, and hates reporters with all the
strength of her nature! At the same time she
possesses power of fascination really wonder
full, while her conversation is brilliant and
witty. full of pert, forcible expressions. "Why
do you dislike reporters p the writer asked,
during pleasant hour passed at the Scoyille
home. ~
81 don't dislike reporters as gentlemen"
answered Miss Fannie, 'but because of their
business. Ever since the shooting this house
has been in state of siege with men Of your
profession. Sometimes we have had three OF
them, all at once, standing guard on the front
stoop. They almost wearied my life out for
time, but have got over that"
"And you say you can tell reporter as far
as you can see one ?"
"Your experience should convince you OF
that fact without asking me"
GLOW can you tell them from other
people,, ,,, J., y, o.,
come up here
so QUIET AND NICE,
and speak SO soft and politely, and sympathize
with you SO tenderly, and and all the time they
are edging their way in the front door, and
once they get into the parlor here it is useless
to protest. They won't 60 out, no matter
what say. They'll just take book from the
table and begin reading. Of course they act
gentlemanly, and treat me with all the polite
ness Of "a chivaler, and what am to do? The
worst of it is, they 60 away and print a lot Of
stuff without particle of truth in it."
SIS Misrepresentation the ruler
"How nice of you to ask me that. Ofcourse
you wouldn't do such thing, you wouldn't
misrepresent us, and say slammed the door
in your face. Oh, no ! You couldn't be in
duced to say any such thing. But wouldn't
like to trust you, all the same"
81 assure you, Miss Scoville, l."
ooh, yes; they all say that. So you may
just stop where you are, and save your nice
things for some one who will appreciate them
and believe Them"
George Scoville is a bright young man, aged
about 20 years, and
VERY MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN.
He is always ready to answer questions and
yields such information as he may possess
very kindly. The remaining member of the
household during Mr.. Scoville's absence is
pretty little girl of possibly 10 years. The
oldest son, Louis P, does not reside at home.
He is young lawyer and notary, engaged in
business on LaSalle street. On the Guiteau
question he is loyal to the government, and
denounces his uncle as fool that has brought
disgrace and misery to the family. He is in
sympathy with his father, and says Mr.. Sco-
Vile has sacrificed much in behalf of the pris-
oner, simply to please Mrs. Scoville, who is
firm in the belief that Guiteau is insane, and
should not be punished as responsible. Louis
says his father will receive no thanks for his
efforts in behalf of Guiteau, because he failed
to clear him.
The Scoville residence is comfortably fur
nished and has the air and look of quiet
happy home of people in moderate circum
stances.
Miss Fanny possesses a wide circle of
friends, who have not deserted her during the
recent and prevailing unpleasantness, and al
most every evening finds number of friends
assembled, joining in music and sociability,
Miss Fanny leading in the entertainments. 1t
is needless to add that reporters are never in
vited.
