In New York. She is rich and delights to

her little house on Fifth avenue she Is
pleased to draw her skirts and her friends
about her and hold a species OF salon.
Apropos, the following droll story was
told me in Saratoga. At one OF these en-
tertalnments carriage stopped at the
door and large box was brought ana
carefully carried upstairs. The size OF the

guests and they ventured to ask what 1t

IL was scarcely worth while to disturb the

One OF the very prettiest women ut the
Grand Union is Mrs. Judge Hampton Fer
rili, of Savannah. She is the bride of a
man many years Older than herself and
looks like girl in her teens. She is a

Saratoga. Last season she was the I'M

not been so gay. She is bit of pink and

hues. At the races one day last week she
was all in white, and at hop the other
evening she was winsome in pink chiffon,
trimmed with pearls. Miss d'Antignac's
younger sister, a debutante, is one of the
jolliest girls here. She dives in for fun

Apropos. here is conversation over
heard by the writer the other evening on
this verv topic which may point a moral.
Two women were conducting the argu-

brunette. beautifully dressed, but with
constant frown between her pretty eye
brows. She was the wife of a wealthy
Albany man. The other woman was
bread-winner, a happy-go-l lucky little body,
whose gowns are few and not made by

brunette said with emphasis:

the sleek Catholic priest and downed his

colored street costumes are charac teristic
of this young belle.
Among Saratoga residents, Mrs. Colonel
Clement. of Congress Hall, is called the
most beautiful woman in town. She has
a regal air, rosy cheeks and gray hair. and
looks about 30, though she acknowledges
several years more. The Clement family
is said to be the handsomest in town, the
children vieing with their mother in good
looks. Another fine-looking and brilliant
woman is Mrs. G. w. Ebringer, niece of
the late eminent lawyer, William Augustus
Beach.
Is it not nice to have the name of being
the most sensible and the sweetest tenn
pered girl in Saratoga? That's what is
said of Miss Annie Lamont, who is stay
ing at the United States. Think of it
Not the most stylish, the most beautiful,
the most graceful, but the sweetest and
most sensible. If were a man l would
look Miss Lamont up.
Miss Jennie Briggs, young heiress, was
pointed out to me at one of the morning
concerts. She is a plump and pleasing
blonde, with an abundance OF wavy hair.
She was richly dressed in black lace and
held black chiffon parasol over her yell
low head.
A superb horse woman is Mrs. Charles
Arnold, wife of the manager of the Com
merciai Telegraph Company. Mrs. Arnold
drives her own horses. a span of black
thorohghbreds, in a manner to excite uni
versal admiration. She is tall, dark and
rather distinguished in appearance. She
is very ambitious of social distinction.
There is quite romance connected with
her marriage. She was a telegraph oper-
ator in the office of Scranton 81 Willard, in
Saratoga Mr.. Arnold fell in love with
her when he was taking stock quotations
from her in the office. saw Mrs. Arnold
in a tan silk gown, with smart Louis
Quinze brocaded coat.
Two men seemed to be having the best
possible time on the Grand Union piazza
this morning. Marshall p Wilder was
telling some new stories to Herbert John
son, Boston's pet tenor. Johnson Is big,
Jolly fellow, who looks like Frank Lincoln,
and his laughter set every one smiling.
Johnson will be heard in New York this
winter for the first time. His voice is
superb, his methods musicianly. He has
been selected from all the Boston tenors to
sing at the coming Worcester festival,
where he will sing for the first time in this
country, in Mr.. Bridges oratorio, 1.-THE
Repentance of Ninevah."
Once every season all the social barriers
are thrown down, and everybody is allowed
to attend the garden party in the grounds
of the Grand Union. This is of course an

society and dress. Though lack the courage to

not going until l hear that solo on the
piccalilli."
Another resort for those who wish to
have a little season by themselves is the
Pompeia, reproduction of the house Of
Panza buried by Vesuvlus. This is really
an elaborate reproduction of sumptuous
Pompeian home. 1t is a unique contribu-
ton to art, with its pillars, fountains, fres-

and curiously constructed rooms are just
the place for quiet tete-a-tete. There
are beautiful draperies, Roman lamps,
vases, cabinets and mosaics. A fountain
drips in the atrium. Heavy portieres shut
out the light and heat. 1t is charming
and fascinating retreat, where one may
spend hours with pleasure and profit. The
house of Panza was simply brim full and
running over with pretty school ma'ams
the other morning. Girls sweet enough to
make every old Pompeian turn in his
tomb. They were eagerly listening to the
explanations of youth with sonorous
voice and a bang, who was describing
where Mr.. and Mrs. Panza and all the
little Panzas ate, slept, bathed and wor-
shipped. / suppose we shall hear now of

around by the famous Geyser and Vichy

OF course, was anxious TO see Mrs. Lay

villa at Nice. and on occasions donned the
queenly crown and royal robes, hired ia

attend and address her as ''your majesty"
With all her vagaries, she has shown
herself to he an earnest student of occult

investigator and writer on these subjects.
In 1887 she publised a remarkable volume
entitled, The Mystery OF the Ages Con-
tanned in the Secret Doctrine of All Re-
ligions." which is much thought of by the
theosophists.
In nearly every way this new Castillo
Cuban high priestess presents striking
contrast TO her Cossack predecessor OF
slim figure, elegant manners, refined
tastes. always magniicently dressed, there
is nothing in her outward semblance to
suggest the fat, frowsy. untidy, cigarette
smoking Russian, Nine. Blavatsky.

tiles of aristocratic British society and to

eccentricities of character and conduct.
A singularly gifted and accomplished
woman, possessed of a fortune that brings
her an income of more than 100000 year
and the widow of one of the most blue
blooded earls in the British peerage, the
Duchess de Pomar. has for nearly twenty
years set the god of social conventionality
in England at defiance and become one
of the most interesting, most run after
and most talked about woman in Europe.
Though nearly three score and ten years,
: Lady Caithness still retains much OF the
brilliant creole beauty which generation
ago won the heart OF the thirtieth Earl of
Caithness.
In New York, where she resided for sew
eral years during her husbands kfetime,
she became deeply interested in spiritual
ism and claimed to have become medium,
and subsequently in London she claimed
to have had spiritual intercourse with
Scotland's famous queen, Mary Stuart,

woman her adviser in all her movements.

She was married twice, her first husband
being prosperous Cuban planter whom
she prevailed upon to buy the title of
Count de Pomar from Pope Plus TX After
the fall of the popes temporal power this
title fell into comparative insignificance,
but Lady Caithness, not content with her
English title, bought small estate in
Spain, and by liberal gift to the impover-

secured not only the confirmation of her
title as Countess of Pomar, but her eleva-
