KIPLING IN NEW YORK.


Rudyard Kipling's visit to New York is partly
for the purpose Of seeing his new book to press,
but its main purport is to buy furniture and fix.
ings for his new Brattleboro home which is now
nearing completion says Edward Box in his syn.
dictate letter Both he and Mrs. Kpng have been
visiting all the New York stores and friend who
accompanied them upon one of their tours tells
me that the famous author proved more Of a help
10 ms wire than men are apt to be on a shopping
expedition. kipling is a fond father in every
sense of the word. He fairly worships his four
months old baby and he finds his chief recreation
from work in its company. He is not man who
grows ettusive over anything, but he comes closer
TO enthusiasm over his child than anything that
has ever appealed to him. Kipling's nature is
pretty well all over the earth, he was never fond
OF the life, and he speaks Of his determination to
settle in BrattleborO, and make that his Derma-
nent home, with the glee of a boy
During kipling's present visit to New York he
has seen quite deal of Mr.. Howells and the two
men have become fast friends. Mr. Howes has
evidently studied Kipling closely and the latter
mas not lost his opportunity to become better &C
qualnted with the famous novelist. Mary Naples
Dodge last week gave a little dinner party to Kip
ling, and both Mr. HOwells and Mark Twain were
there, and for an hour three literary lions
were closeted together in the most spirited literary
discussion and conversation. The rest of the
party seemed content to watch the famous trio,
and until the hostess broke up the talk question
whether these men ever enjoyed themselves more
That kipling has been more like himself during
this visit there can be no doubt, and he has made
scores Of new friends. He is one of the most
agreeable of men when understood, but he gives
few the opportunity of knowing him we'll He
avoids people as he does publicity, and the sight
OF newspaper man will seal his mouth closer
