1t is said that that charming lady, who
is the idol of the English people, I'll. X.
III. the Princess of Wales, has been
offered her own price if she will
write magazine article. Should
she accept. and so become one of
the scribbling sisterhood, l wonder il
she will ever tell us of her marked pre-
objection for the neat trim and at
the same time distingue tailor suit.
Those who know her by frequent obser-
walton, if not by personal acquaintance,
say that she is never so thoroughly self
complacent as when arrayed in her
comfortable stylish Redfern gowns and
coats.
And in this respect she sets a COM
mendable example to the American
women, too many of whom have yet to
comprehend that for general street
wear there is nothing like tailor-made
costume. 1t is not the fault of Redfern,
however, that this lesson has not been
universally learned, for he is constantly
carrying ON the work of education by
designing new and seductive models
and sending them far and wide.

New York Letter.

Bertha Robinson, one of the richest
girls IN society, is always such re-
freShment to me. ] love to think of
her. She is the daughter of Mrs. J..
Hood Wright; her stepfather has no
children of his own and is worth be-
tween ten and twelve millions; she has
S25, 900 year in her own right, and her
mother has an independent fortune of
Sl0O, 900 year: and yet, despite all that.
this girl is gay and happy and human,
and entertained with life. You should
think she would be! Well, if you think
most women in such position would
be. 1t is because you nave not seen as
much of that sort Of thing as have.
The newly rich, who are so numerous
IN New York, are oppressed by their
money as well as bored because they
have exhausted all the resources they
know of in life: they feel that it de-
mandS some sort of more than human
dignity to live up to so much money,
and they are perpetually OH the strain.
| have heard this point illustrated by
Mrs. w. I'll. Vanderblt's name.
But to return to Bertha Robinson.
She is not beauty, but is just a bright.
fresh, unaffected, jolly American girl
anu she gives much of her time to good
works in the most unaffected way. She
lives with her mother at Fort Washing
ton i'll place palatial enough to have
gained the name of the .'Folly" in the
neighbOrhood, and the poor in that por-
ton OF. Manhattan have reason to bless
her name. She does not satisfy herself
by merely giving money to institutions,
nor does she simply give money to,in-
dividualS. She makes herself acquainted
with families in distress and tries to
provide for them in helpful ways, and
she does this Out of her own money.
Naturally you may say she can't deny
herself of much, but she does in way,
for yOn don't need to know much about
the New York rich girl to learn that she
can easily spend more than $4,000
year on dress and gee-gaws. | know,
for instance, that Clara Huntington,
now the Princess HatZfeldt, used to
think herself an ill-used, scrimped and
unhappy girl because c. P. Huntington,
her adopted father, tried to make her
dress out of $4,000 year, and she
could manage to stretch the sum to
much more than $4,000. And she did
not lose much of hers in charity either.
1 can tell you.
Along with her charities Miss Robin
son is not in the least goody-goOdy
girl. On the contrary she is fond of
nice clothes, loves to often rearrange
her own room and boudoir according to
her last, most dainty and fanciful fancy
of furnishing; loves to dance and is,
with her mother, one of the most con-
slant attendants OH the opera.

est lamb of that religious mentor,
Elliott F. Shepard. Miss Shepard is
young and very pretty in a fair, soft,
quiet way-in. fact she entirely looks

genue. She works in missions, the one
founded by her aunt-inlaw, Mrs. Fred
erick w. Vanderbilt, for one, and also
visits hospitals. makes gifts to prisons
and teaches Sunday school classes. She
is very religious, Of course. She does
not Withdraw herself altogether, how
ever, from the world and is pretty con-
slant to the gayeties of her set. Mrs.
Frederick Vanderbilt does withdraw
herself from the world to great ex-
tent. She lives in her charities more
than any other woman of her world,
and she goes right among the poorest
Door herself. and often nearly wrecks
her health with the ardor of her devo-
ton. Her husband, jolly, red-bearded
good fellow, is very fond of her, and
when he thinks she is too far overriding
the other side, as he did this year Just
after the holidays. Mrs. Vanderbilt is
very sweet and simple, and utterly UNI
ostentat!ous in her ways of doing things.
There was something of romance con-.
nected with her marriage, and it had
taken place a year before it was an

number of months the late w. I'll.
Vanderbilt would not see her at all, but
before he died she had become his favor

not strong, has no children, by the way,
and gives herself up so entirely to her
work among the poor that she has little
time or strength for society,". She has
dinner parties. but her Inequalities are
confined to them. An odd little lido
syncrasy of hers is never to be photo
graphed. She never was photographed
in her life, nor does there exist any
other kind of portrait of her, yet she is
pretty woman, one of the prettieSt in
the connection, and her husband begs
her to have some likeness of herself
taken.
She saves a good deal of time that
way. The photographer is a resource
for killing time. only second DOW in the

Mrs. Huntington Enjoys Life.

ALL 20 - S'as A|''J ~ - As'AN'
Speaking of the Huntingtons, Mrs. G.
p. Huntington has an extraordinary
ability for sitting still and simply and
happily breathing and digesting her
food. that many rich woman might
we'll envy her. She is not at all stupid
either; she is rather uncommonly sensi
Bile and even clever, but she does not
lind any occupation, whatever, neces-
sary TO her comfortable existence. which
people explain by referring it to her
creole origin origin. She does not, as
is we'll known, go into society.
OF course. any one who has
watched the society of New
York this winter alone must know that
Mrs. Huntington could easily, with her
millions, float OH very high wave of
popularity, but the tact is she does not
care about it, and she is too proud to
take the measures necessary to gain
ties, but independently chiefly, not in
association with the various rich
womens schemes always under way.
She reads some. and occasionally takes
a squirt of studying elocution or Del
sarte principles of dramatic expression,
and she is devoted to her son, who has
been adopted by G. p. Huntington and
made his heir, and whom she would
have liked to devote to one of the
learned professions, but who has now
become business man-that- is neces
sary for the safety of the millions. His
mother, by the way, is an eXtraordinar
ilv yOung-looking and handsome woman
to have a son who can be spoken of as a
man, and perhaps that is due to the ex-
ceptional talent for cheertully doing
nothing that [ have referred to.

The door was opened by n slight deli

then the music began, and the room WAS

over his shoulder now and then to see il

When he stopped at last and looked
