markable Change.
NEW YORK. June 92--.-The American
public" said an intimate friend Of Rud-
yard Kiplng today. Undoubtedly knows
that Mr.. Kipiing left this country with =
more favorable opinion OF America and
Americans than was the case when he
sailed from New York three years ago for
his English home. But only KipIina's In
innate friends have even moderate reali-
ration OF the change In his attitude toward
America since that fifst homeward trip.
"Kipling might not have voiced the great
difference In his feelings as he said good
By on the dock, but In the period OF his
convaiescence from his rcccn, il,ness, and
while he was winning hack his strength In
New Jersey and on Long Island his chang
ed attitude. unconscioasly. perhaps. was
manifested In unm.stakabae ways. His NJ
ness. doubtless. and the loss Of hts favorite
daughter. Josephine. had much to do with
his change OF attitude. A mans recovery
from severe illness frequently changes
the whole direction Of his thought. He en-
tertains more kindly view Of the world In
general. he sees In his friends and in his
attendants admirable traits which he had
not fully appreciated before.
That was Kiplings case. He became
disposed 20 look upon the Americans
whom he disiiked when he iefs New York
three years ago, In a kinilier light. The
opportunity 10 scratch the skin and see
what Was beneath Il had been given 70 him
on his sick bed. and he had not let the op-
por,nnity slip by. He had felt the warm
hear;heats Of the Americans whom he had
so pi,slessly held mp 20 criticism. and had
found that a; TIE bottom OF hts own homes,
Ang.o-Saxon heart he liked them"
