LANaTRY ON ST. LOUIS.

St. Louis pleases me very much;
there is such q tone OF chivalry in its
people. Its enterprise is quite equal
to that of Chicago. You would
scarcely believe it, but al the heteis
and private houses are supplied with
soup, through pipes, in the same
manner that wafer is supplied in
other cities. l was very much sur
prised when l went to the water tap
to find that it ran bsuillen. How far
ahead these Americans are of Euro
peans!
l cannot bring myself to take any
interest in the violent discussion that
RACES between this city and Chicago,
absut the size of ladies' feet 1t seems
to me that propriety of conduct, and.
to quote their great poet, decent re-
gard for the opinions of mankind.
would more appropriately occupy
their attention.
The opinions of the press are no.
ticeable for their fine insight. The
critics see through all DISCUSSES. Soci.
ETY. ia as reserved here rs elsewhere in
America. Reprimanded rash
young journalist who came down the
chimney. Have refused to give up
ny private correspondence 10 the
press. l suppose | shall! suffer for dis.
regarding the customs of the country.
But cannot help it. Had one of the
dramatic critics to dinner. He ate
aud d.ank everything before him.
Poor fellow. He was very hungry.
Think Of establishing a fund before l
90 for hungry critics. F. doesn't End
any enc here of his own station. There
is an American actress here, who is
trying to advertise herself at my ex.
pense rs beauty. Poor thing!
There Is large canal in front of
the city. 1t is very yellow. They
tell me it was cut during the revolu-
ticnary war. The steamboats, are
kept going up aud down it all day to
stir it up. +. says it is what they
make the soup of. F. is getting quite
facsiiOus.
WEDNESDAY,.
Photographs Of my chambers have
been solicited by the press. Was
very much annoyed by the snoring of
the reporter in the hall last night.
Resolved not to let my friends fight
on my account. The Americans are
very pugnacieus and 1 might involve
them in another civil war. l must be
careful. Wrote tc hubby; told him
to keep still everything was prosper
GUS. The press is very kind. l have
get up duel to help my business. l
shall never forget its kindness. / am
sure. | have not seen the slave-drivers,
except the stage mausgers. Was very
much startled by finding out that the
Iaundress is a dramatic critic Took
my clothes away from her, but she has
made list of them.
What pity Henrietta did not come
to It. Louis. She thinks she knsws
something about newspapers.
THURSDAY.
Ny manager says it is net advisable
to get up a riot for advertising pur-
poses, and he ought to knew, I'm sure
| don't.
One Of the papers SAYS this morning
that ought 70 play "Rosalind" in an
ulster. l wonder if that is so. l
really thought that Henrietta knew all
about the costumes. 1t would be too
bad if there had been q mistake made.
FRIDAY.
Ny st. Louis experiences have GER
lainly been very eventful. There are
new tive Frcddies in nv train. One
is what they call here a manager
the other is q confidential adviser.
Between the two l get q great deal Of
management and advice. l call them
No. l and No. 2. No. 1 insists that
to keep up the public interest in
Shakespeare, Ne. 2, ought 10 insult a
reporter or kill an editor. It's very
sbsurd. but ii is one Of the managerial
