oUlDA's OLD AGE.
She DisIikes Americans and Delights

0uida is growing old now and her
works of late lack much of the elo-
quence and poetic fervor that used to
make them so irresistibly attractive.
She cannot at present be far from 60.
She never was beauty, though in her
prime she possessed her striking points
her amber hair, of precisely the
shade which she used TO describe in her
earliest novels, and pair of exquisite
little feet, of whose small size and per-
feet symmetry she was justly vain. She
used to walk down the long dining
room OF the Langham hotel with her
golden locks hanging down her back,
and with her long skirts held up in
one hand so as TO show off h,r pretty
feet in he daintiest of Partisan Slip
pers. She immor;alized Mr. Sander
sen of New York, who was at the time
manager of the hotel aforesaid, by
making him the hero of her novel Of
'-Tricotrin." The brilliant novelist
was not often gwen to drawing the
portrait of an American II such fiatter-
ing colors. She dislikes our country
people with an intensity Of hatred
that is altogether surprising, and
never misses a chance of caricaturing
them and holding them up to ridlcule.
