Two Rich New Workers.

A member of the Union club was talking
the other night about Fred Gebhardt. He
said:
"There is one thing obout Gebhardt.
| He's 'stayer.' | remember years ago,
when he was so little his legs would scarcely
go far enough over bis horses back to hold
| him on, his valet used to take him over to
the fox hunt on Long Island and set him
| going He would ride to the death, too,
| no matter if the death had been his own.
| The old members of the meadow brook hunt
| used to smile at the boys precocity, but
| Fred outgrew that smile Then he grew
into Mrs. Langtry's."
When Langtry first visited America she
| had her choice between Gebhardt and George
| Gould She choose the former. This was
fortunate thing for Gould as it has turned
out, for he has got now wnat he never
would have had If his little negotiations
with the actress had been consummated, that
| is, happy home with children in it. Geb-
| hardt seems satisfied, however. His income
IS 100000 a year. His residence on Fifth
avenue is always closed. His racs horses
are always running and getting beaten,
and once they were burned up by the whole
| sale. He is everywhere the Lily is. He
cares not a rap for any ones opinion. He is
an orphan. He has banished himself from
good society, and all criticism that is aimed
| at him acts like water on rubber plant.
| Such absolute devotion as his to Mrs. Lang
| try is not often met with under the circum-
stances which surround it,
Mrs. Edith Kingdon-Gould is a lucky
young woman if such cltizeness can he
found in New York. Her transition from
$50 week engagement under a highly
artistic and inezprsssibly tyrannous
manager TO the side of devoted, attentive
and ipdulgent husband was and still is a
theme for exhaustive discussion, but no one
has been slower to realize the change than
the young lady herself. Uncertain Of her
great happiness, she unvoluntarily borro VS.

and effect Of the mereSt trifies and acci-
dents. Loved and beloved by her people-in-
law, she is as curlir z careless as pussy

up in the warmth and shelter of hospi-

Her house at Forty seventh street is plla-
tial, and staff Of servants attend her. A
magniicen5 butler of British breeding
guards her vestibule, and to all strangers
and undesirable acquaintances she is as in
accessible as the new mistress of the white
house. She has two young sons, Kingdom and
Jay, Jr., aged IS and months respectively,
each the care of a seperate nurse, individ-
ually trained for her position. Wnen either
child is sick an intern is brought from the
training school for nurses, not only to care
for the boy, but also to secure requisite rest
for his nurse. Father and Grandfather

Goulds get their constitutional, are in
heavy mourning but there are few better

The boys are magnidcently dressed in silk
cape coats, padded and lace lined, and the
elder wears broad brimed felt hat tufted
with fluffy white plumes.
