Irvine and American Audiences ,
In the British FortnlgVly Mr. Irving
has an article on American andiences ,
dissecting Us qualities. Mr. Irving
keenly says : 'Tnn dominant character
istics of an Amciicau audience is Im
partiality. They do not ait in judgment ,
resenting as positive otlences lack ol
power to convey meanings or a diver
gence in the interpretation of a particular
character or scene. When I hey do netlike
like a performance they simp'y gt away.
And here Is a kindly feeling toward the
actor. As an individual part of thai
recognition of Individuality , so strikingly
characteristic in American life-and cua
toms , Is tbolr thorough enjoyment
Another point , they are not only quick
to undorttini and appreciate but the ;
take a genuine pleasure in the exprea
elon and approval , They are not nu-
passed in quickness and ceinpletenois r
comprehension by any audience I have
yet seen. "

A very pretty woman , who has reap-
) eared in Washington this year , is Mrs.
3corgo Spencer , wife of the ox-senator
'roni Alabama. Six years ago society was
excited when the senator went over to
Sow York , married Miss Nimez , a incin-
> er of a theater company there , and
n-ought his brde hero. She was a Mis-
sisspp'an by birth and related to several
generals of the confederate and Egyptian
lervlce , and is still a very beautiful woman
of the slender Spanish type. As she ap-
) eared the other day , making some aftcr-
10011 calls upon ladies in the same hotel
.vhercsho is staying , she was the striking
igaro of the occ-jsion. She wore a loiij ;
> laek velvet dress , an immense black Ru-
ens hat covered with black plumes , very
eng black g eves and earned a largo fan
> f black ostiich feathers , wliich , in its
graceful motions , fecondud the wonderful
ilay of her large dark eyes under the thin
rching brows. She held a whole com-
iany of lady's spellbound and fascinated ,
nd that is the laat and most uruoinl test
f any pietty woman's talents.
