nothing had been heard from that young

same train with Mrs. LaDgtry and her
company, as had been rumored. Some
of the newspapers Of Chicsgo have been
trying to bs excruci ttlngly funny over
the Langtry-Gebhsrdt scandal and one

ago that gilded youth of this city had
made bet in public that he would cut
out Gebhardt and induce Lsngtry to se-
cept an invitation to drive with him be-

The times will publish an interview
in which she declines to discuss her pri-
