In Fanny Kemble's recollection of her girl
hood she says when she told Washington Irving
that she was to be married he said you will be
happy If you are prepared to accept America
for your home. but don't expect to find Eng
land here. and don't above all things be "a
creakirg door" What do you mean, she asked,
and he told her his friend Stuart Newton, the
American artist who had won fame in England.
married an English woman and brought her to
America, and she led him very wretched life
by constant and disparaging comparisons be-
tween things here and there, and by constant
fault findeg with American ways. and indeed
everything American, until she wore out the
patience of Newtons friends and rendered his life
most uncomfortable. and hence was known as
the creakins door. name Irving gave her.
If Mrs. Butler had followed that advice she
would doubtless have escaped . good deal Of
unpleasantness. Speaking Of her death with
Mr.. w. =. Campbell, who for thirty
years filed the consulate at Rotterdam
and Dresden, he said that one Of the most
brilliant gatherings ne had ever seen was ON the
occasion OF n reading given in Rome by Mrs.
Butler for some charity. Tho hall
was crowded with ali the distinguished people
in Rome, native and foreign, and 1t yielded q
large sum for that particular charity. Wherever
Mrs. Butler resided she impressed her individ-
uality on the community. sometimes not very
pleasantly-as at Lenox, where she had resi-
dence, she was not universally popular. The
journals she has published, some four or i've,
beginning with her recollections OF girlhood,
| are most interesting, from her acquaintance
| with all the notabilities Of the long period in
which she was conspicuous In social life. Her
distssts for the stage, her ''detsstation" Of IL,
she unreservedly proclaimed, was regarded q
