As much interest perhaps is taken in this country in W.S. Gilbert as in any living foreign dramatist. His witty sayings are almost as well known and the oddities of his peculiar dispos!- tion almost as frequently discussed here as in his own country. But talse estimates have probably been formed of a man whose charac- ter is as original as his literary work, and. thus it was that one of Miss Fortesque’s visitors found mueh to interest him in what she sald the other day avout the author of “Broken Hearts” and “Pinaiore.” | She has been an inti- mate friend of Mr. Gilbert tor a long time and. talks of him with great admiration, “The idea of Mr, Gilbert,” said sie, which I fear is entertained by many who only know him by name, that he is a hard and sometimes brutal eynic is absolutely false, as are most ideas of peopie whom we do not know. His is one of the Kindest hearts that ever beat, buta clever bon-mot or a biting sareasm is so irresistible to him that his brain is sometime in advance of his heart, and he says a cruel thing only to re- gret ita moment afterward. His bright sayings, come as quick as a flash and apparently uncon- sciously. As I have said, however, he ig us ‘Kindly a man as one can imagine, His love “for children and. their at. tachment to himare wonderful. Nothing affords him so much pleasure as togive a big children's party at his house, and he is in his element when half a score or more of tiny creatures are ¢lambering over hitn, pulling his whiskers and making of him a sort of overgrown doll gener ally. Tremember at one of these parties there was'a little girl who howled dismally and would not be comforted, Gilbert reached over the heads of the sympathizing crowd, who had gathered around the woebegone iniant, picked her up as one would # puppy by the back ot Ler little frock, and in two minutes she was 1ast asleep on his shoulder, For the rest of the evening she remuined there, slumbering peace- iully, and he wouid not consent to lay her down for a moment, “His way of working Is as peculiar as all else escended from a line of seamen (lor jated to the Sir Humphrey Gilbert who was a companion of Raleigh), ne is devoted to the sea, and never works better than when in his yacht. Quiet and solitude are sential to him, and he theretore prefers to work at night. Formerly he used t@ smoke prodigiously, ‘and some of his cleverest things are” saturated, as it were, with cigar smoke. Latterly, however, he has become quite a moderate smoker. He is erratic in his application to his desk. *Pinatore’ was written in w couple of weeks, while ‘Broken Hearts’ cost him eigut- mouths of application, But then the latter and “Gretchen,” according to his own idea, contain the best literary work he has ever done. Not that his operas receive slighting treatinent at his bands, but he feels tat they are on a different plane from his serious work, and he tutes to be aiked of only as a comic-opera writer, In preparing his work for the stage there never Was a more indefatigable worser. He has in his study a Iittie model theater, and here he studies oul his scenes, arranging’ litte blocks for priveipais and supernumeraries. ‘Then ne comes to the theater wich Lhe business flemly. fixed in his own mind, and never hesitates a moment as he assizus to each his or her place iu situation or taviewa, He acts each part hin. uu, generally saying: ‘There, Lean’t do itmy- sel, but you'll catch my idea and do it ever so muta better yourseli.’ “He often adds: “That's ; it you don’t like it don't do it.’ ly udd that his way ix always che usic,but bis metre is always correct.

He isa good scenic designer too, and aiways gives the ideas for the costumes. ‘He has iniuet made a study of historical costumes and collects every- thing Which fas a bearing on the subject.
