MRS. SARAH +. AMEs.--Some years :.
ago Grace Greenwood, writing from WASH
Ington to the New York Tribune, gave
this sketch of her friend, Mrs. Ames:
during my early acquaintance with Mr..
Wendell Phillips, / remember to have
heard him mention more than once, with
admiration and candid interest, beautiful
and brilliant woman, the wife of distin-
guished artist, and herself gifted with a
decided talent for art. When q school
girl in Eoston this friend of his sat for a
portrait to the painter Alexander at the
same time that Charles Dickens was sitting
for that admirable live portrait, which /
would give much to see again, and which
l think should be engraved. The two sit
tiers met one day in the studio--she in the
dawn of her remarkable beauty, he in the
full morning of his great fame--and talked
gaily of being next door neighbors on can
yass and fellow-captives of Alexander. | |
witnessed their next meeting. 1t was
more than quarter of century later;
yet they could still talk gaily unappalled |
by the gap of years, for they were philoso- |
phers-they two. When Mr.. Phillips told |
me of this friend had not seen her, but
years after met her in Washington. From
our old friend, Count Gurouski, who, after
pronouncing his critical judgment, COM
pairing her to the Venus of Milo, used to
remark in his overwhelming high-bred
way, his own eye, TRANSMITTING you the |
while: i don't think you would admire
her. She is too strong, and healthy, and
dark, and foreign looking to please your
taste. You stupid Americans don't know
a handsome woman when you see her.
| again heard of this artists wife in Rome,
where she had preceded me, her husband
having been commissioned by the city of
Baltimore to paint the Pope. Many art
lists had sketched, and all artists remem-
bered well her fine Greek Nlobe like head.
| heard of her there as the devoted friend
and companion of Margaret Fuller"
