FAILURE AS AN HEIREss HUNTER.
An event has stirred society in talkV
way, though occurring Tar outside its
| lines. That was the double marriage OF
Mrs. Stivers Murphy. Did you see John

beauty in a noted Brooklyn belle, and
every body thought that VInt would ac-

wagon manufacturer. She broke his
matrimonial plan all to bits. They tell In

BEAUTIFUL JEWISH MAIDEN.
This has been a great week for the Jew
esses. 1 mean IL sincerely and admir-
| ingly. The MontetiOre Fair, for
charity, has centred the wealth. re-
finement and beauty Of New York
| lsraelites under one enormous roof. TIE
| most lovely exhibit is not TO be sought in
the art gallery or among the booths,
| where silk attire and Jewels and bric-a
brac are displayed. 1t is in the centre Of
the hall ana sits in great satin shoe in
the midst OF colony OF dolls. The little
| old woman who lives in the shoe. and has
so many wax and porcelain children that
she doesn't know what to do, is a Jewish
| maiden. A crowd IL always around her,
watching and admiriDg. Men, women
and children stop to gaze upon her beau
! tiful face, and so winsOme is her lOvelI-
ness that no shadow Of envy, no thought
OF jealous isparagement comes across the
| mind of any woman who looks at her.
| Her peerlessness is acknowledged. and
! all do her homage. She sits there all un-
! conscious OF the murmurs of admiration,
| her long golden hair floating in wavy
masses over her shoulders, and her large
| blue ewes, rich in color as peonies, meet
ing the gaze OF her woTshipers with grave,
| frank innocence.
For her beauty ls not that of tho Semitic
race. The typical Jewess is dark, aqui.
line and has rich olive complexion, with
full red lips and flashing black eyes.
Many such may be seen at the fair, but
none Of them is comparable 70 the golden
haired daughter OF Rebecca, WHO sits
among the dolls, sometimes smiling and
chatting with visitors aud again gazing
seriously far away and talking TO herself
all unconcerned aud careless OF the
throng. There ls not so much as a sug-
gestion Of coquetry In smile or word, or
action not trace OF seli-consclOusness
about er. She is there because OF her
rare beauty, hut she does not seem 10
know that she has the most winsome
face, perfect features and sweetest rose
bud mouth in the world. Her name is
Mabel Hertz, and she Will be 4 years old
next June.
