NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Her Impression of Six Months
Tour, and What She Thinks of
Journalists.
Washington Special.
Mrs. Langtry recently closed success
full engagement in this city of three
nights and one matinee. A lady who
was accorded an interview with her
gives, in the Baltimore Sun the follow
ing as the result of her observa tons:
She was dressed in short walking
costume of dark-blue serge; vest of
basque covered with rows of narrow
gilt braid. Her waist WAS encircled by
girdle of satin ribbon Hoped in
bunchy bow in front. Her hat was a
toQue, matching the dress in color, and
a short mask veil of beaded net held the
fluffy bangs down close to her face. Her
back hair was arranged in loose knot,
low down on her neck. Fine features,
an exceedingly arch expression, but q
very large mouth, make up her clai m to
beauty. There are many more beauti-
full women in this vicinity, but very few
as stylish. Her hands are exceedingly
pretty, and fairly glittering with dia-
monds and emeralds.
Presenting that the initial point OF at
tack would be her impressions of Amer
lea, she had the question almost answer
ed before it was put. With laughing
nod she said: II am in love with Amer
lea. 1t is o country which grows on you.
Oh!'you would laugh if you could look
back, as can, to my terror of coming
here at all. When the subject was first
broached, and my tour here of six
months spoken of, it seemed an eternity.
could not bear to think of it. SPEND
ing six months in foreign land was out
of the question. I consented. in tears,
to think it over, and left England weep
ing torrents. 1t seems very ludicrous
now, but was entirely in earnest then.
Now that six months are nearly gone,
scarcely know how time has flown. and
my days and nights have been busily &C.
'cupied. 1 am working hard, rehearsing
new parts and improving on my old
ones"
"You must have had some curious ex-
periences?"
"Indeed. have. Now, when said

tainly have met them everywhere,
and by all accounts they have seen ms
do q great many things that never en-
tered into my brain at all. They have
terribly mlsrepresented my actions, and
do yon know, / have grown quite pink
with vexation trying to have fact truth
fully reported? They draw so terribly
on their imagination that am afraid Of
them"
And here Mrs. Langtry fell to moral
izing. II wonder why men are so mean.
They say such cruel things, and l believe
just to show their wives or sweethearts
what superior beings they are any way;
and II a woman chooses to put herself
on pinnacle, she must submit to be a

I find Americans must have truthful,
artistic renditions. They think
more here of talent than they do in Eng

seems freshness. prettiness, and GER

sDo YOU read criticisms in the daily
papers now?"

morning about my going to q New York

fearful eyes and dilapidated appearance
