The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1886-11-21

ess, is another lady who has absfained from
ostentatious demonstrations for the last
two years, though her elegant residence on
the corner of Jersey avenue and Montgom-
cry street is one of the most attractively
unique piles of architecture in the city She
bore the reputation when in society OF be-
ing one Of the most animated of takers, and
sho had the happy faculty of making every
one Of her guests feel at home in her par
lors. She is an accomplished artist. and
her handsome home is filled with decora-
tons of her handiwork. Society people
hope that she may soon venture again into
the circles which she SO notably adorned.
There is at least one lady VINO has not
yet been mentioned who is a consplcuously
elegant entertainer in Upper Tendon The
reference now is to Mrs. James Fleming,
whose youthful face, in marked contrast
with her hair of gray, has attracted atten-
ticn even among those who have not the
honor Of her acquaintance. Mrs. Fleming
has arranged some of the most attractive
evening gatherings at her home on Grand
street ever known to the lower section of
the city. She is an accomplished linguist
and an art connissuer of much skill and
judgment; and she probably has the most
magnificent assortment of articles OF Uerta,
gathered from all quarters Of the globe, in
the city In preparing and carrying on
her receptions she has the aid of two beau
tiful daughters, just buadingin woman
hood,
Only objectionable neglect can excuse
the failure to mention among the ladies
who figure prominently in social circles all
over the city, the name of Miss Annie Post
second to none in the number of her in
vitations, or in her capacity to please. She
is a stately brunette, a fayorite member of
the Pleasure Riding Club and the finest
equestrisnne, by common consent, in the
county. She is an exceedingly good talker
and as much at home or political topics as
on the softer topics that usually engage
womanly attention.
But it was the purpose of this article
when it was first outlined to deal with peo-
pie WAC are notable in society on Bergen
Heights particularly the south section of
the Heights. The first name one encoun-
tiers in that section of the city as especially
conspicuous, is that of Mrs. E. f. G. Young.
Her hospitality is SO broad, and her circle
of friendships so large, that even in dealing
with society in the lower section of the
city on last Sunday, reference to her was
indispensable. She has made Mr.. Young's
beautiful residence on Glenwood avenue
the centre of social circle of broad COM
pass She is known of all society people
for her superb toilets, no less than for the
magnifcence of her entertainment, She is
endowed with excellent conversational
power, at once lively and amiable in dispo-
sition, and keen witted deviser of new
features for the pleasure and admiration of
her guests.
Much of the social excitement of the
Heights was, until the last season or two,
due to the efforts of a social combination
that passed under the name of sThe
Heights" Among those who were especial
ly active in it were the family of George
Clifford, of William w. Coffin, of George W.
Helme and of j. q. AppTeby, Alexander
Bonnell, Dan and George Tofey, DR.. James
Mrs. Mccoy of Bergen avenue Peter
