WAsHINeToY, Nav 26-Your correspond
ent enjoyed an interesting conversation with
Miss Cleveland this morning, in which a va.
riety of topics were touched on, starting in
with an exchange of honest compliments on
TIE beauty of Washington in general inst st
this season and the scene about the White
House, now IN the perfection of Nays horti
cultural excellence. Their we ran through
the gsmut of which every body who knows
any thing of the small talk OF Wsshineton
society can imagine, until [ saw in the IN
ielligent cOuntenanCe of the first lady of the
land an expression which meant, palmer
than words, is that oil that brought you
here?" That brought your correspondent
down to bpsiness level and 10 the inquiry:
"Miss Cleveland, tell me how you enjoyed
your New York trip and all about your
book"
Miss Cleveland answered with g smile:
"Weu row, there is very little to tell. My
trip 10 New York was busy one. for you
know / there gave the finishing touches to

tt details of its publication. The Hbject-
after everybody knows nov who is inter-
estsd enoueh in litelsturs of that kind to
have read the Published extracts. However,
what has BEEN printed abounds in typo ,rsph-
icsl errors which will surely moi appear in
the book and that may add an element of

she would have preferred 10 make the first
in preston with, and she replied. 20, do
not care anything about that. ] do n )t
kpow that there is any demand from the
rtsding public for the particular manner in
which my subjects are treated. The book is
made up entire of my lectures and essays
which have been delivered before classes of
students at different schools within the last
few years."
Then, with the exception OF the portion
ycu wrote IN New York within the last fort
night none of it is absolutely fresh?"
20, yes since it presents 6ll MY public
efforts, and only stopped working when
decided should come here. gave it con-
siderable attention through the winter, so
that the work was pretty we'll on. My duties
here left me no time for it. My visit to New
York gave the necessary opportunity to
finish il. just as wished. A friend who un-
deIstsnds all the mysteries OF bookmaking
has undertaken all the details, and. 50 far ss
l am concerned personally, l have no
more TO do with Ii until the publication
day comes, in q fortnight or so. Until
then the enterprisiDg newspapers will. 1

it is going 10 hsve over the land, and sup
rose | must stand q good deal of notoriety
from it. OF course thsy can not positively
know anything about it, but that win only
make the criticisms more readable. Toe
book is not of kind to suit the masses, but
il will be, | hope. read by stIdents, for
whom every line of it was originally written.
Those who have appreciated my life work
thus far think it should seek expression in
this form. and such kindly suasion and the
sincerity / know which underlies il have led
me to publish it at this time"
