Quoted For $3.50 month the old ladies
would hire a carriage TO stand in front
of the door and give an air Of gentility
and elegance to the house. BY way Of
utilizing the carriage and saving car
| fare. they would drive down TO Wash
| ington Market on morning and bring
back one quart of potatoes and pound
of beefSteak. Was it any wonder that
young Ward found it impossible to en-
dure this state of affairs until the com
ing of a fortune? He failed TO endure
and the fortune failed to arrive, but in
the language Of the street, he got there
| lust the same, and has secured the
leadership Of the Four Hundred.
Miss Frelinguysen, daughter OF the
late secretary, is in New York, greatly
interested in all doings educational and
religious. She has the Kindergarten fever
and visits the little tots often TO listen
TO their object lessons and TO encourage
them with her sweet smile She IS tall,
slender girl, dressed in half mourning.
This spring she has put on purple. She
is a brunette of the Spanish type, with
beautiful eyes, clear cut features and a
ldctlHdLluk
suggests the grande dame even while
she resembles the fashionable New
Yorker. AT church ObServances she is
devout and never an appeal for sweet
charity'S sake is turned from her unan-
swered.
Since the young woman OF the day de-
cided that she could live, move and have
good time without man always
dangling after, she has acted like an
other creature. A new style OF woman
has been developed. There is now an
independent. well poised, clear headed
woman instead OF the lackadasical, lean
ing, dependent creature Of yore. The
girls quite enjoy this new found indie
pendence, and they tell funny little
stories OF how they manage to look out
for themselves. One pretty girl says
that she has d sharp pointed parasol-
one of the new kind with Royal Wor-
cester handlc-and that she always
takes this with ner In crowd or upon
crowded thOroughfare. Armed with
such weapon she feels that she need
not plead with men for wOman's rights,
for she can secure for herself all that
she wants.
The most popular woman in New York
is Mrs Ernestne Schaffner. Yet she Is
popular in a way undreamed OF by those
outside OF her world. Her world does not
stand high in the social status. 1t IS not
CAV world and it is not a bad world.
On the contrary. her world is a very
good one. and it is to establish this fact
in the minds of the people, and in the
courts Of Justice that Mrs. Schatfner is
deyoting her life.
OF her own free will, unpaid by any
one. she gives her time and her fortune,
her temper and her health 10 the vindi:
cation of those whom she believes 10 be
falsely imprisoned and unjustiy accused
of wrong-doings. Six years ago she
helped little lad who was arrested for
stealing money 10 buy food. When she
pot him free she helped him to travel TO
his friends, and there gave him sufficient
substantial aid TO enable him to start
upon a life OF honesty and industry.
Long since she DIES abandoned the prac
tice OF helping real people
who actually commit crine-and de-
votes herself TO freeing those who are
bemmed in by circumstantial evidence.
She Is medium-sized woman with a
kind face, pretty interesting ways, a
sympathetic voice and dear sweet way
n holding ones hands and asking all
aboDt il. She has an Office in the Pulit-
1er bnilding and there she goes regular
" TO listen to tales Of woe and 20 confer
vim the lawyers who are busy getting
her children" out Of prison. She IS
rich woman with many relatives and
many friends, yet she has forsaken them
All for the common veal OF humanity.
Many have been offended by her be
cause of her neglect Of them and social
dnties and because they no longer find a
mace in her life, and oven her nearest
and dearest relatiyes-her husband and
her children-haye permitted the vail
