KATE JORDAN'S WORK
SKETCH OF THE AUTHOR OF THE
KISS OF GOLD." f
Her Charming Personality How She
Served m Long and Silent Apprentice
ship Stagestrack Once, bat Now It I
All Gone. "
The charm that liea in a story some
times defies a definition. We call it "the
way a 'story is told," just as we talk of
he expression as the pleasing quality in
a race, uut it is more man that. It is
the magnetic personality of the writer
behind the words.
This is what I felt as, with a sigh,' I
laid down "The Kis3 of Gold." The
beanty of its diction utill haunted me
its humanity that planted a little ache
in my heart, and itsLaoyant description
of youth, love and success put, alas! to a
wrong use.-
I began to wonder about this new au
thor, Kate Jordan, - whose story had
transfigured a dull afternoon for me. I
felt that she was young and had per
haps poured out the story of her own
literary experiences in the great whirl
ing life of New York.
Who was she,? I determined to see.
A few days later I was mounting a
flight of brownstone steps in a quiet up
town street, and making known my mis
sion was ushered into a pretty, harmoni
ous room, oriental in style. It showed
that an artistic taste had selected the odd
trifles that filled it. One right angle was
a deep divan covered with rugs and
heaped with the most inviting looking
pillows. Above it hung a piece of
tapestry, an excellent copy of Bouguer
eau's "Two Loves." The mantel was
draped in fishnet that looked as if it had
Been good service and was looped up at
one side by a long fishing rod. Japanese
matting and odd antique rugs covered
the floor. On the walls were many choice
water colors. But just above the piano
were some pictures that interested me
more the original pen and ink sketches
of "The Kiss of Gold,1! daintily framed
in white, and also an original drawing
of Miss Jordan's heroine in her other
strong dramatic sjpry, "The Other
House."
A very pretty violet eyed girl in a blue
morning gown came in to see me.
"You want to speak to my sister?" she
asked. "She writes in a room at the top
of the house, just as far away as she can j
get from all of us, and if you won't mind
going up two pairs of stairs I'll take you
to her.
i rouowea my guide up tne stairs to a
white door at the end of a narrow hall
under a stained glass skylight.
Our knock interrupted the soft hum
ming of a comic opera air, and we went
in. Miss Jordan was sitting at the win
dow before a long oak writing table, on
which was heaped a chaos of papers of
almost every color.
MISS KATE JORDAN.
"Please don't look at the table. This
is cleaning day," she said brightly as she
gave me her hand such a little hand,
indeed the very prettiest real hand I ever
saw. "This is my eyrie," drawing for
ward the most comfortable chair for me.
"I can't hear a sound from the house,
but the murmur from the street is inces
sant, and I like that. My pleasantest
hours are spent in this little room." .
It was a pretty place all blue and
white. The rug, the divan, the lamp
shade, the curtains all blue and white,
and beyond the wide window, with it
frill of Chinese crape, lay the housetops
and spires of the city, the smoke from
hundreds of chimneys curbing into the
vivid morning sunlight. ' J ",
' And theownwtrfit? er personality
was quit in .keeping with- the 'restful
beauty of the place. Kate Jordan is a
pretty, well bred, well dressed New York
girl. She looks about 23, and., there is
nothing in her dress, manner or speech
to suggest that she is "literary" in oth
er words, she is not.un pleasantly labeled
with the mark of her profession. She is
a brunette with white skin, frank, direct
eyes, with the dark eyelashes of the
Irish, and her lips and teeth are remark
ably pretty.
A Russian jacket of brown velveteen
was confined at her waist by a dull, sil
ver belt, and a long, straight skirt of
brown cashmere hung down from it in
graceful folds.
"So this is being interviewed, and I
tm to talk about myself?" she asked,
settling herself among the pillows on the
divan: "It's a subject with which I am
so familiar, no wonder I do not find it
as interesting as some others'. To com
mence, then, I am Irish by birth. Dub
lin is my native city, but I left it when
a baby. I have traveled very little, but
hope to see a good bit of the world very
soon. I have lived in New York all my
life, and I think I know it thoroughly,"
"One has only to read 'The Kiss of
Gold' to know that," I ventured.
"Dear New York" and her eyes dark
ened with enthusiasm "with its differ
ent phases of life, its odd nooks and cor
ners, its people made up of every color'
and quality, from every country on the
globe, like the samples in a tradesman's
book. Yes, I know it. I love to study
- its low life. Frequently I take a car in :
a poor section of the city and let it take
: me through streets where the miserables
; horde, and the atmosphere is tainted,
;- and the languages a Babel-like mixture.;
. My ambition is that some day, perhaps
-. afar off, I may write a successful story
laid among the poor of New York, in
full sympathy with them, as Dickens,
whom I love,. was with the London
:poor.n , : i j
"Have yon written anything besides
""The Kiss of Gold'1 and. 'The Other
.House?", . . r -.
"OK ves. I have sent out a ton of man-
nscript, most of it unsigned, wnen
you look "up the biography of any one
whose work in - the arts happens to
make a good impression, you will gen
erally find that they have not come un
der the public notice at a bound. Like
others, I have, served a long and silent
apprenticeship since the time I wrote
love stories before I left school and rev
eled in seeing them in print with a lux
ury I do not now know."
"In 'The Kiss of Gold' you seem f amil
iar with life behind the scenes of a thea
ter. Have you ever been on the stage?"
"No, but I have not gone unscathed.
Almofet every girl who keeps in touch
with life in New York is stagestrack at
some point in her career. So was
For more than a year I attended the
now defunct Boucicault school of act
ing. The time as far as stage tuition
went was wasted, but Boucicault, with
his delicate face, snowy hair and caus
tic, witty tongue is a figure I can never
forget. His brilliancy was fairly scin
tillating, and I have to thank him for a
better knowledge of Shakespeare than
could have had without his aid."
As we chatted about many other
things, and I noted the inimitable Irish
humor that crept into my companion's
phraseology, the delightful play of ex
pression in her face from grave to gay
I inwardly decided that she possessed
the possibilities of an excellent comedi
enne.
"Can yon tell me how you came to
write 'The Kiss of Gold? " I asked.
"Can any one tell how an inspiration
is born? But the motive of the plot was
a most natural one, for the struggle be
tween love and ambition goes on every
day in the money getting atmosphere of
this city. I lived for years, until very
recently, in dear old Chelsea square.
where the story is laid New York's ec
clesiastical corner and sometimes went
to service in the little -chapel. Watch
ing the students troop in looking bike a
flock of ravens in their picturesque
gowns, I always knew I would somehow
or other make them figure in a story,
made Tom Irish, because the reader
might more easily ; forgive his weakness
that instability of purpose that is such
a frequent trait in the Celtic tempera
ment, accompanying even good morals
and aspirations and intellectual strength.
There are many managers in New York
like Mr. Plunket. Old Mr. Kent is
Boucicault as far as appearance goes.
Delatole s selfishness and moral turpi
tude live in a man I have met, and it is
easy to conceive such a man when placed
as a critic using his pen as a weapon of
threat and attack. Women of Virgin
ia's type, fortunately for human nature,
are not rare quiet heroines who bear
burdens and never think of complain
tag." v , : . . -
A little maid appeared to say lunch
was ready, and Miss Jordan lifted her
eyebrows., : "
"How much we could accomplish in
this world if so much time were not
taken up with sleeping, dressing and
eating. And I have such a good appe
tite, and I can't get up early."
"When do you write?" I asked as I
rose to go, "and what are you writing
now?" ,
"I write in the morning always. At
night, if I have no engagement, I come
np here and scribble. I've commenced
my first play a farce. It seems very
laughable, to me-H3till a 'manager "may
find it a funeral. Besides that I am
writing a new novel and doing some work
for the daily press. You will admit I
haven't much time to be lazy."
' The impression which clung to me as
I went down , the sunny street was a
very pleasant one. Miss Jordon's vital
ity is strong, her desires earnest. If ca
pability, originality, "perseverance and
courage get their due reward, her suc
cess will grow with her years.

THE MID-WINTER FAIR.
Catherine de Medici' Doctor.
Pharnelius,like many other physi
cians, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry II as dauphin and aft
erward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from a state
of childlessness, and who gave him on
the birth of her firstborn $10,000, order
ing that a like sum should be paid to
at the birth of each succeeding, son or
daughter. , I think that Cardano liked
Pharnelins better than he liked Sylvius.
He says he was a pale, lean man of about
50, who loved his study and was full of
domestic affection. He was the profess
or of" medicine in the university and
the first court physician, but he mus
nave puzzled (Jassanate greatly, lor he
had an undisguised contempt for court
society. Blackwood's Magazine. "
. The Kneipp Fad.
You cannot be half a day in Germany
without discovering that "Kneipp" has
there become a great power. Half the
population talk '"Kneipp" they walk
"Kneipp," dress "Kneipp," bathe
"Kneipp," feed "Kneipp," and the more
nimble among them even dance
"Kneipp." Ladies invite their friends
as a matter of course just as naturally
as here they would to partake of a cup
of tea to divest themselves of their shoes
and stockings and indulge in a walk in
the river or in some near pond. People
whose sleep is troubled, as a matter of
course, supplement their habitual "night
cap" with a "Kneipp" footbath all cold
out of which they draw up their feet
and calves, all moist and dripping, into
the sheets which we benighted islanders
assiduously study to keep dry.
If you may believe the new god of
healing and his votaries, there is no com
plaint which "Kneipp" will not cure
from simple dyspepsia np to cholera and
even lunacy. And it is all, or most of
it, accomplished by water a merciful
dispensation of Providence it may seem,
under the peculiar circumstances her
alding an era of universal cleanliness.

California Midwinter Interna- )
tional Exposition. Department
op Publicity and Promotion.
Weekly Circular Letter No. 7.
The work of preparation for the Ex
position has now reached a point where
the aesthetic ideas of the management
are beginning to bear fruit. All the
main buildings are practically finished,
so far as the details of construction are
concerned, and now comes the matter
of decoration. Charles Graham, the
Well-known artist better known, per
haps, in the East than in California on
account of his extensive experience with
the Harpers, and more recently with
the Columbian Exposition has been ap
pointed as director of color for the Mid
winter Exposition, and to him falls the
duty of superintending the decoration
of the Exposition buildings. There has
been made no effort in this connection
to pattern after the Columbian Exposi
tion. The term "White City" will
never be appropriately applied to this
Exposition. Mr. Graham's idea has
been to let delicate tints predominate,
and to so distribute and arrange these
that the peculiar atmospheric effects of
the California climate shall be utilized
to enhance their harmony and. increase
their beauty. Warm tones are not par
ticularly necessary in the decoration of
any group of buildings in this glorious
clim-ite of California, and the darkness
of background afforded by the almost
black foliage is a magnificent setting
for the delicate tints' which are to prevail.
Souie excellent effects have already
been partially produced on the main
buildings, although none of them are
yet to be seen in the fullness of perfec
tion. There will be a great deal of gold
in the scheme of color, although not
enough of it to give the architectural
group the name of the " Golden City.
The domes of the Administration build
ing will be heavily gilded, and the Vest-
em sun, striking full upon them, will
undoubtedly play a very important part
in the picturesqueness of the pano
rama. Mr. Graham says that several
of the buildings of this Exposition sur
pass in perfection of detail and architec
tural development the buildings of the
Columbian Exposition, and that in the-
line of opportunity offered' for pictur
esque and landscape effects, the like has
never been seen in any exposition.
The ornamentation of 'the grand
central court is also receiving a great
deal of attention just now. The elec
trical fountain is being installed in one
end, the basin for the allegorical fount
ain is in place at the other, and the
sculpture will soon be ready to be put
in position. The electric tower has
reached a third of its height, and two
more weeks will see it completed.
Eight or ten inches of rich loam has
been spread over the entire surface of
the gr Aid plaza, and on it will be sown
the seed of the flowers and 'foliage
which are to make this , the. meat bean?
tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden
Gate Park. There has already been
transplanted to this grand parallelo
gram a large number of bamboo plants
and date palms that have been artisti
cally distributed, and have made a
favorable impression on the public,
which warrants the assertion that the
picture to be presented within the lines
of the court, around which the main
buildings are situated, will be one of
surpassing loveliness. The Venetian
masts, several hundred in number,
Which are to stand like a line of sol
diery around this court, are already in
position. These are to bear the flags of
all nations by day, and electric arc lights
at night; and between them the sun will
shine upon long lines of parti-colored
streamers, while the darkness of each
succeeding night will be relieved by
long lines of incandescent bights and
fancy lanterns in the development of
the carnival effects which have been
contemplated in this connection.
The work on the concessional build
ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The
exposition will be nearer ready on open
ing day than has been the case of any
large exposition in the history of the
world. The management of the Expo
sition are to be particularly congrata
lated on the fact that in the erection of
the 70 odd structures within the Expo
sition grounds, on which there has been
an aggregate expenditure of nearly
$1,000,000, there has, thus far, occurred
no labor trouble, no accidents, and not
even an alarm of fire.
The programme for opening day has
not yet been completed, but the cere
monies will be of a character to war
rant the unbottling of all the enthusi-.
asm which San Francisco and the ad
joining cities and towns have been get-
lng up for this occasion. It took the
business men of San Francisco a long
while to wake up to the importance of
this Exposition, but there is no longer
any room for criticism on this score,
and it is safe to say that when opening
day shall arrive the city will be more
gaily decorated and its inhabitants will
turn out more universally than on any
other occasion that has marked the his
tory of California. -
-A feature of the Exposition which has
now been fully developed is that which
is to include the display of citrus fruit
from different parts of the state. There
are in the state two citrus fair associa
tions that of Southern California and
that of the Northern citrus counties.
Both these fairs will be held this year
in connection with the Midwinter Ex
position, and it will be interesting to
Eastern people to know that these grand
displays of oranges and lemons are
made in the months of January and
February. The management of the
state citrus fair northern ' district has
just announced its dates to be from Jan.,
15 to Feb. 15, and that of Southern
California will be on at the same time.
In addition to these citrus displays
Fresno county has completed arrange
ments to erect a model of her court
house to be constructed of oranges and
raisins,' so that Eastern visitors will see
more wonderful displays of the golden
fruit than has , ever - been made else
where. .", ' ' -. '
