ance at. the" Academy was over and
had delightful Interview with Mm.
Kittle Baldwin. There were two re
porter.' In fact, anfl two ladtca, slt
t in comfortably upon the stage
lounge. The other 4ady. Mrs. Keene.
had on of the woolly white pe .dogs,
the else of a cat. and Mrs. Baldwin
herself had a brace of white flees with
clothes on. Stag fellows sprawled
" about to hear the talk.
, . Mrs. Baldwin's Angers were loaded
'with, rings, so dazzling that the
spokesman reporter made bold to asK
about them.
Thl one," said she. drawing- oft a
, ring with a setting of feven diamonds
la cross and handing it to the re
porter, "was given me by King Ed-
ward, when he was Prince of Wales.
".The Wncesa of Wales, who l now the
queen, gave me this brooch."
' She hunted In her hand-bag and
found the thing. It was a large, gloru
' bus opal, shot with a dozen lights and
net in a circle of 19 diamonds. She had
Almost fine an opal in one of her
' rings, set also amid diamonds. This
wae present from some Indian na
t bob, whose name she knew not how to
i 8 pell and which the reporter dares not
, 1 guess at. f These Jewels and gems hav
' ng been scrutinized and exclaimed
u over, she proceeded to drag from her
hand-satchel a wonderfully wrought
I gold chain, heavy to beat the band.
and eight feet long. It had a splertdld
- wrought gold lorgnette attached. This
i -was the gift of some Rajah of Rome
' thing (certainly not from the Rajah of
' r Bhang). Her earrings were large opal,
and another of her rings was set with
"Klmberley diamonds, which she had
, s carried loose to London.
" KSr "I'd hate to tote this Bluff about
. with me," said a reporter. "I'd be
. afraid somebody would stick hla knife
" ' Jn me. What's thin broach worth?"
1 "Oh," she laughed, pleased, "$1,000.
But I don't carry 'arf the gems I used
. to carry. The papers used to say that
- . we, had pecks of them, and when the
' reporter were with us we handed
' them out for Inspection, and If any of
them got misplaced, oh, we didn't
, wrorryl There have been times, though,
. when I was afraid. In Brooklyn once
our room had a fire escape and the
papers had told about the precious
, things we had with u. The more we
-i talked about It the more we feared
'. robbers, who could have got to us
'easily. I haven't carried so many
. el nee then."
"Well, let's cut the Jewelry, out,"
, staid the reporter, "and talk about
'"yourself. Do you like this life?"
- "If I didn't I shouldn't follow It,"
" nhe replied, without any air of uppish
' flees, "I've property In all parts of
'," the "world, even In New Zealand.
Eight times I have been nround the
world, five of them in this business,
'and I want to make the circuit one
' more time. I was In this town about
, 1 ten years ngo. I think It whs."
' t "What do you call yourself? A
; " (Spiritual medium?"
j . ""No, We call It somnomancy. Mr.
1 t I?eeie hypnotizes me, and It Is
'something like a dream, but I don't
' " remember ,lt."
1 "PIJ you read Trilby?"
"No," said abe. brightening, "but I
- have seen It played. I know about
,. , Trllbv."
' 'rWell, It seemed that when Svengall
took the spell off her ehe would be
' fearfully tired. Is that so with you?"
""Tea; I'm dead tired now. nnd ner--votis
until I'm nearly crazy. When the
maid yawned in the dressing room a
'moment ago I almost screarrted at her
and frightened her. Last night the
' , man who slept In the next room had
he catarrh. He kept coughing, srilf
7 fling, and blowing his nose all night.
, and I though I should go wild. I
, wanted to tap at his door and beg him
to clear his head out with salty water,
,,jYes, Trilby whs truly represented In
that respect.
"But there Is nothing occult In what
- I do. Anybody can find somebody to
hypnotize him. and what I do can be
