The genuine Newport belle, for she has
lived there since she was a child is Maude
Howe, a daughter Of Julia Ward Howe.
AMI who, though verging on 30, is still quite
as beautiful as when she sat for tn por-
trait now in the Corcoran gallery, at Wash
ington, which attracted so much attention
when it was exhibited at the Royal acad-
emy. She is a striking looking woman,
with an -exquisitsly turned jaw perfect
neck and an arti tic head-round which she
binds wreath Of ivy, in the style Of the
winner Of the Olympian game. She is a
Lady of caprIceS. At present se tnetic gar
ments are her fad, ami she attires herself in
limp loose gowns of dull, faded colors,
which cling about her in u way that would
have charmed RJsSetti. Dogs are with her
another mania At one time she ordered
all her admirers to cease giving her candies
and hDwers and substitute dogs As her
lovers were many, she soon had a menagerie
that murdered sleep by bowling all night
after the manner OF their kind.
