| spair of women who do net know how to
manage it and the glory Of those who do: soft,
light blue eyes, and clear, pale complexion.
Her frame is rather small, but perfect in It's
proportions snd delight to the eye in its
curving outlines Il has no angles, no super
6ous flesh, 10 abrupt curves-it is all gently
| flowing lines and graceful curves, that melt
| into one another and leave upon ones mind
| the impression Of harmony and grace She
has three children-Cynthia, aged s, and
| pair of twins, boys, two years younger.
Little Miss Cynthia mothers the two young
sters in most comical way, putting on to-
ward them matronly and protecting airs,
which they already begin to resent The ac-
companying picture scarcely does Mrs Burke
Roche justice. for it is a recent one, and shows
the effects of her troubis in the unusual thin
ness, and in the rather drawn and sad expires
sion.
Mrs Cooper Hewitt is Mrs Burke Roche's
sister and is thought by many people to have
greater claims 10 beauty. She is larger, With
darker, brighter colorilg, and m uch more
life and vivacity. She rides and fences and
plays tennis and INDUCES in all the other
fashionable athletic sports, and shows the
result OF them all In her high vitality and
hearty enjoyment OF life. They are the
daughters Of Frank Y ork, in whose stable,
fitted up as temporary theatre, little COM
pany of young society women played Ca
mile" a few years ago before very select
audience of ladies alone. hrs Hewitt, who
was then Miss Work, played Armand with
such vigor as TO bring down tine house T..
win the delighted admiration of the entire
audiencs
The very sweetest face ia all New York, as
every one who studies this picture will car
tainly agree, is that of Mrs David Thomson
born Miss Purdy. It has all the beauty OF
refined, harmonious features and of a sweet
and gentle expression, but it lacks little in
complexion and coloring, Of ali that very
beautiful face must have.
Somebody wise in this worlds follies has
said that if a woman has beautiful skin il
VIII profit her more than brains or wealth,
or position, or physical endowment of any
other kind, and there is at least one woman
in New \ ork who can look in her mirror and
know that for once a cynical philosopher
spoke the truth. She is Mrs. George Gould
She has beautiful chin, and she has achieved
that in this worlds graces and rewards which
she never could have gained If nature had
spoiled her face by making that member
prominent and peaked, or Insignificant and
retreatlng. 1t Is a very sweet, intelligent
and attractive face which she has, in
addition 10 its being merely beautiful. But
she is losing the beauty which was so rare and
delicate during her stage life, and which
caused the eyes of George Gould to rest with
delight upon Edith Kingdoms face the first
time he saw her. Her eyes are as large and
dark and soft, her hair as luxuriant, as silky
and as brown, and her features as delicate as
ever but since the two Gould cherubs in
vaded the Gould household her complexion
has lost It's clearuess, her eyes some of their
brightness, and her form its delicate outlines.
Her grace the Duchess of Marlborough
was one of the most beautiful women in New
York. And if one might make a major
premise of the disposition and character of
the head OF the house of Marlborough, and
a minor premise of the duchess traits of
character which shine forth in this picture,
the only logical conclusion TO which one can
come is that she viii be a New Yorker again :
before many more years.
New York is divided upon the question of !
whether or not Marion Manola is a beautiful |
woman. She has enthusiastic admirers who /
rave over her eyes and her hair and her figure .
and expression Aud there are others who |
say she has freckles, end therefore can't bs /
beautiful. She has luxuriant hair of the t
dark, red-brown color that is giving a new
impetus to the manufacture of chemicals
but hers is so by grace of nature and not by |
force Of dye-aud her eyes are big and
brown, soulful and far away. She is little
