THE WIFE OF MR.. kIPLING.

The fact that Mr.. Kipling has given
% the public in his "Brushwood Boy"
the portrait of his wife emphasizes the
interest Of that freshest, most exqui-
site bit Of composition. But the like
ness, although so accurate, is scarcely
the work OF thinner. 1t is that OF one
who paints from within, rather-the
original artist, who, unconsciously to
himself, has thus reproduced real
ICED ideal. The law of affinity is SO
often imperative in the matrimonial
alliances of men of genius that one
regards with peculiar satisfaction the
exceptions to what has grown TO be a
rule.
IN Mrs. Kipling's girlhood days, in
New York, before she had ever met
her future husband, an acquaintance
said of her: she is the kind of rare,
positive character that as soon as one
knows one expects great things from"
adding: mo man could dwarf her
into satellite by marrying her. In
deed, the men OF her acquaintance
whom / know are all too commonplace
10 furnish a match for her."
Her early youth was spent in Roch-
ester, at the home of her maternal
grandfather, Hon. E. Peshine Smith,
with whom her mother lived after the
death of her husband.
Mr.. Smith, who was a prominent
JuriSt and the author of a valuable
book on political economy from the
protectiOnist standpoint, was in many
ways a remarkable man. He was hign-
ly esteemed by Seward, who sent him
20 Japan as secretary of the American
Legation, where he completed the
commercial negotiations between the
United States and that country; and
when his term of office expired the
Mihado invited him to remain as legal
adviser to the Japanese Foreign Office
On matters of international law. While !
serving in that capacity Corean
slave ship was wrecked upon their
coast. The Emperor demanded the
return of the slaves, but the Mikado
refused, declaring that they became
free as soon as they touched Japanese
soil. A dispute arose, and the ques-
ton being referred to Mr.. Smith, he !
ruled that slavery was national, while !
freedom was international. The slaves
were released, and the decision, as eX-
tending to the world the decree that
slavery was merely sectional, was re-
garded as an important one. When |
he returned to America the Mikado |
loaded him with beautiful gifts, many |
of which adorned Mrs. Balestier's |
home after his death.
Mrs. Kipling, therefore, was not only |
reared in an intellectual atmosphere, |
but amid surroundings calculated to |
develop the artistic instinct, and, while |
not herself writer, possesses eXcep- |
tional taste, both in literature and in
art.
The close association with such a |
nature must of necessity affect Mr. |
Kipling's work, and one of her friends |
in speaking of his books, says:
II attribute the deepening tone Of |
seriousness in his more recent prOduc- |
tons to his wife's influence She has |
always been so thoroughly good"
His acquaintance with her grew out |

/ of his connection with her brother,
/ Wolcott Balestier, the brilliant writer
and astute man of business, whose
death, when in his thirtieth year, cut
short career, the possibilities OF
which could scarcely be limited
Young Balestier, who at Il was con-
tributing stories to the Atlantic
Monthly. had gone to London to rep
resent the publishing house of John
". Lowell. OF New York. and to estab-
lish an Office III that city
Three years later he was sleeping in
the little cemetery at Dresden. but in
that brief interval he had originated
and was successfully conducting the
continental publishing firm of Heine-
mann & Balestier, the rival OF the old
house of Baron Tauchnitz, and had ac-
quired a knowledge of the English
book market such as no Engiishman
possessed.
In the light thrown upon ii by after
events, his introduction To Kipling as
sumes a pathetic aspect.
In the autumn of 1889 a friend,
| fresh from the reading Of Soldiers
Three, said 10 him one morning:
You ought 10 keep your eye on the
new Indian writer, Rudyard kipling. ;"
"Rudyard Kipling," repeated Bale
sitter, with some impatience, lis 1t a
man or a woman? What's his real
name?"
You'll find" replied the other.
slightly irritated, that you won't be
allowed to ask questions like those
long Rudyard kipling is going to be
one of the first writer's of the day
Pooh! Pooh!" said Balestier, now
you're shouting
The conversation ended here, but
three days afterward, when the friend
called at his Office he observed pile
of blue Indian pamphlets lying upon
his desk.
Balestier seemed to know instinct
lively the most direct route TO the
hearts of those whose regard he wished
to win.
He arrived in England without hay
ing an acquaintance on the island, ana
at his death left behind him the larg-
est circle of literary friends possessed
by any contemporary American.
Kipling was DO exception to the rule.
He conceived at their first meeting a
strong liking for him, and three
months afterward the two were writ
ing the story of ''Naulakha.'
In 1891, when Caroline Balestief
came to London to furnish little
home life for her brother, whose fail
ing health had aroused the fears Of his
friends, -Kipling lost his heart to her,
and In January, 1892, after Balestier,s
death, they were married in All Souls
Church. Portland place, and she re
turned to America as his bride.
