This was about tbe time her book, entitled 'George Eliot and Other was in the press, and it was generally known that a likeness of the authoress would form the frontispiece.

I became desperate and was determined nos to be anticipated in this manner. The case seemed hopeless, for I had tried everywhere without success. One day a gentleman entered my office and coolly offered me a photograph of Miss Cleveland for tlOO. He bad? been informed that I was anxious to obtain1 It and stood ready to accommodate me for" this consideration. I did not accept his offer.

"Shortly afterward I made an arrange-' ment with The Graphic, and we conjointly engaged a clover lady artist, Miss E. Sylvester, living at the time in Washlugton, to sketch Miss Cleveland at the first opportunity. The manner in which she performed her work would have done credit to a vot eran newspaper man.

"Being somewhat uncertain of a likeness taken in this surreptitious manner, we determined to make assurance doubly sure by sub-' mittlng it to the criticism of Mrs. Laura C.

Mrs. Holloway immediately tolcsrnphed the facts to Washington, and Mr.

Cioveland wrote a personal lotter to Tho Graphic, asking thorn not to publish tho portrait. Yon may be very sure that tho lottor was ignored. The outcome of tbe affair was that we pub-' lished the likeness, and Miss Cioveland with-' drew the plate of her picture from the book.
