are furiously indignant with Mrs. Ken
dal for the remarks that she permitted
to fall from her lips the other day anent
the reception in this city of THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." Said one Of these gen.
tlemen yesterday: at was a cruel and
dastardly thing for Mrs. Kendall to have
alluded to Belle Billion, now the Jul
tess OF Clancarty. as a Mrs. ~Tanqueray.
1t was coarse and 1t was disgusting.
Nothing was ever proved against Belle
Billion except that she sang in concert
halls. Every effort was made to secure
evidence that would incriminate her, and
every effort failed. A man is a gentle
man until he is proved TO be a villain,
and the same holds good OF a woman,
too. Mrs. Kendall betrayed the most
eXecrable taste. and deliberately insulted
a woman who is not here to reply for
herself. There are many people In New
York who have met Belle Bilt~on-concert
hall people, OF course-and they will all
tell you that they know absolutely MOTH
ing against her. She Is not uneducated.
She can hold her own in any society.

of course, sincerely disliked by the dra.
matte profession abroad, but there is no
reason why she should come here to vent
her spleen"
