 Mrs Charles Mccoy, wife of, the pu- gilist is now in Boston fitting before the footights. This gave an opportu- nltys to writer on the Boston Post to Interview the lady and set down his Impressions
 Tn preparing to go to have an inter- view and social chat with Mrs Norman Selby, professionally known as Julie Mccoy" he writes, "I persuaded my self that I would meet an old friend bowed in sorrow and completely heart broken by reason of her domestic ex- periences of the past two months.
 At the Columbia theater on We'd nesday evening. I observed Mrs Mccoy with group of other pretty ladies as- sisting the vigorous and versatile Marie Dressler to entertain q large and ap- preciative audience. It was then sug- gested to me to go and interview Mrs Mccoy, as, I had Mrs Corbett, for the benefit of the Post readers.
 "As I stepped forward and took her hand her beaming, smiling face ex- plained that no sympathy was neces- sary. I question whether Mrs Selby ever looked better in her life. She has always been a pretty and taking woman, but her improvement since I met her in her own home in White D1c. To-, Ill NT,& urally Mrs Mccoy has a sad and pa thetic face. but yesterday she was all animation and life. and was resplend- ant in a beautiful gown, gayiy decorat- ed with varied assortment of dia- monds and jewels, representing a small fortune,
 CT am glad to observe that grief and trouble have not done any consid- erable damage to your health and ap- pearance You certainly look better than ever before.' was my greeting.
 "sMany thanks was Mrs Mccoy $ return. There is no reason why l should be unhappy or ill, while there are reasons why I should congratulate te myself
 "FIs your dream of love OCT. and are there no hopes of a reconciliation be tween Norman and you. a Ia MT and Mrs Corbett?' I ventured.
 Nc. no. All that is past. We are different people. You know how strong my affections and love for Nor- man were There was only one man in the world for me. and was his wife in the fullest sense, against the whole world. I could see only good in him. despite- what the world said. but my affections and confidence was mis- placed. Norman could not be faithful to himself. No. will not say anything against him, as we are parted forever. and my divorce will be granted. this week. We are done forever. not even to Ee friends again. may forget but will never forgive the dastardiy plot he fixed up to separate from me for a woman for whom he conld nave but a momentary,s fancy. That might forgive. for nearly all men are alike but when he tried. through the aid of his brother. to sully my good name to serve his ends. then he trlheo with a tender and sensitive feeling una | onv true and woman1y woman could net bear having damaged
 sIt was clear that. while Mrs Me Cows love for her husband is dead. ana that she is indignant at his treatment still sine did not care to have any one speak i'll of him.
 "Speaking of her entering on ca. reer on the stage. Mrs Mccoy said that she could hardly be called an actress Her experience had been extremelv limited. but she had hoDes and ambi- tions. She was pleased to speak of Miss Dressler and her play, and asked my opinion as to whether the play wouId do. and as to what weak spots I could point out. Further. she asked me whether her appearance on the stage was a favorable one When ] said that the ladies in my box party believed that she was the prettiesi woman in the company l did not hur' myself any Mrs Mccoy said she was glad she looked well on the stage. es pecially as she had not yet learned the art of making up.
 .sMy further inquiries disclosed that Mccoy had made a very comfortable settlement on his wife before he left for England, which. with her own lit tle fortune, will keep her we'll clothed and the wolf from the door for some time, unless she gets backing horses playing stocks or gets up against some other good thing.
 Referring to her divorce, Mrs Nc Coy said it would come this week.
 ssf Then ventured. you will prob
 
 ably be getting married again?
 ss 'No not for me- she returned, but then coyly> looking up and smiling shf added: Of course I might; if some good. wealthy man came along Whf would suit me, perhaps I might change my mind'
 ssYes, and if some man that you thought was all right and suited came along. wealth or no wealth, you woulo no doubt try again.
 2" Well, perhaps would. It is Jus1 like me. Women are funny beings ove1 love affairs. anyway,
 ..In parting asked Mrs Mccoy what. she thought of her husbandTs chances against any of the spugilists.
 4 Any time .sKid' Mccoy is tryins and is we'll and is given fair play, he Gan beat Jeffries. Corbett, Fitzsimmous ofsany of them,' was the reply"
