How Chicago Girl Won Her Way
Among English Aristocrats.

How Chicago Girl Won Her Way
among English Aristocrats.
The close of the London season, says the
New York SUMS Sunday cable letter from
London, has been made moderately lively
by the profound interest taken by a num-
her of young Englishmen Of more rank
than wealth in the gifts and graces of the
latest American heiress, Miss Letter of
Chicago, who arrived here about six weeks
ago with her mother, simultaneously with
a report crediting her father with an an
nual income of 81 900, 900 and the daughter
with 5000, 900 in her ownright. This young
lady, who is a most quiet and charming
person in herself, has attracted great
attention and developed an unusual
amount of spite and ill-nature among her
fair compatriots already established here
She owes her Introduction into French
society chiefly to Sir Charles Hall, who, it
will bs remembered, was British delegate to
the m lrine conference held in Washingt ton
last spring. AS the foreign members Of
that conference were treated with great
neglect by the government, the British rep
resenJative. then plain Mr.. Hall, was pro-
portionately grateful to those Americans in
private life who treated him with politeness
and hospitality. Prominent among these
and Mrs. Edward Cooper in New
York. On the advice of Mrs.
Cooper, Mrs Letter and her daughter, In
stead of spending the summer in Newport
decided late in the season to go to England
They reached London just before the Prince
of Wales last garden party at Marlborough
house. aud Sir Charles Hall, who is not only
a clever lawyer and one of the most agree
able men in London, but a particular
friend of the heir TO the throne, immedi-
ately called upon the Chicago ladies and
secured them the lofty honor Of an invita-
ton to the garden party. This put them
in the swim, and tee rumor Of the
immense wealth of the young lady
and her father made them really the
feature of the closing weeks of the season.
They have attended all the smart balls Of
the last fortnight, with the exception Of that
of the Duchess of Bucclough, to which, as a
cynical Englishman remarked. no Jews or
Americans were invited. Miss Letter, how
ever, was the center of interest at the ball
given by Mrs Marshall O. Roberts at
Spencer house, in spite Of the circumstance
that an English beauty was heard
to observe that 1t would have been a really
beautiful ball If Mrs. Roberts had not
spoiled IL by inviting her own friends.
What the eventual fate Of Miss Letter may
be cannot be foretold. She has. however,
been already given away in polite society
20 the heirs OF two peerages. AS she Is at
present, after spending a week at Wilton
House, the magnificent Wiltshire seat Of
the noble family OF Herb -rt, represented
now in America by Michael Herbert Of the
British legation brother Of Lord Penn

destiny may b. al hand.

have always understood the clerical gentle
man who believed that Saratoga was the
richest place where the gentlemen in black
and red ruled, because-there's beauty in
the reason-everybody seemed to be having
such good time! 1t is at once true and
clerical-a combination so seldom found
that it ought to evoke what the darkies call
"a deal of delight" Saratoga is of the
world, worldly There are all sorts and
conditions of men-especially women.
There are women who are painted I'D to their
eyes, and inside them: there are those
who triumphantly announce that they can
take wet towel, wipe it over their faces,
and still retain the same brilliant color, as
if we all did not know that there are rouges
that do not fade out. There are ladies pow
dered pale blue, who wonder how women
can use rouge; but, above all, there is the
girl who has gone in for "malting up" and
defies anybody to discover Just how she
does it.
