There has been good deal Of gossip in New
York for the past few days concerning Mrs..
LanStry's motives in returning to England at
this time and her expectations for the future.
A gentleman, whose business relations with
the Jersey beauty from the time of her first ar
rival until she stepped ON the gang plank Of
the Arizona last Saturday morning were of the
closest nature, said:
have no doubt in the world that if Mrs,
1angtry were free to-day to make her choice
che would marry Gebhardt in = moment She
for a long time I think know enough of her,
too, to say that when it comes to question Of
the heart, that Mrs. Langtry would sacrifice .
good deal to accomplish the fulfllment of
her desire. She is q womanly woman
after all, and it is because she has
felt that in the outcome the world would
find that she was acting only from the purest
motives in receiving Mrs. Gebhardts atten-
tons that she has permitted them this long.
There were some business nffaira remaining
unsettled between US up to the time of her
departure, which compelled me to 60 down to
the steamer SATURDAY. morning She aplr.
rounded by : parcel of reporters who were
insisting on taking up every moment she had,
and was about to 60 away in despair when
she sent word to wait for her in her stateroom,
which I did Gebhardt was present He
looked after her every want in the most ten
der and most matter of fact manner She
received his attentions in the same way.
Well, now, it did not take an old fellow like
myself long to see how tho land lay I can
tell you, Gebhardt is said to be . fool, but
think the boys will find out that he is going to
have the prettiest bride in New York within =
