Mrs. i.angtry," continued the mana
ger, as ho III cigarette and blewa fragrant
cloud heavcnward, ''pays much attention
to diet, for, like the sensible, as well as
charming woman she is, she looks upon

stock in trade. She rises late and eats a
moderate breakfast, and when she Is in
New York lunches ut 1880 o'clock pre-
cisely. always having q few intimate
friends TO join her She dimes ut O'Clock
as rule, though sometimes she il forced
70 put the hour somewhat earlier and has
hearty supper when her labors arc over,
the luncheon and supper being the two
chief meals Of tho day, for her. At her
meals Mrs. Langtry drinks either claret or
champagne, the latter rs dry wine M she
can procure. She is, however, exceedingly
moderate as to amount and rarely takes
more than a single glass Of champagne or
n tumbler OF claret and waterat each meal.
During the performance she occasionally
sips little champagne and apolinaris
water, mixed In equal proportions, though
sometimes the apolinaris is taken alone
without the aid Of champagne.
Mime. Patti, like all singers, finds
stimuiant OF some sort an absolute neces-
sity. As n rule during the performance
she continually sips weak brandy and soda,
though she has an odd trick OF proiorring
the soda dead that is, opened and left
standing until nearly all the gus has es-
capped from 10. Occasionally she varies her
beverage by taking a glass Of champagne,
though, unlike Mrs. Langtry, she prefers
sweet wine rather than dry one.
Richard Mansfield drinks nothing but
Apolinaris water while he is acting, but
OF this he consumes several pint bottles.
Mansfield, though there are few men who
know how 10 give better dinner or sup
per, or are more cornwall IN ia cir tastes,
makes rule Of being absolutely abstcm-
ious no far as drinking is concerned,
throughout the day. After his work is
over he drinks little whisky and water,
