can testify to the fact myself, for | have
seen Miss entworth. She is, | should
say, q years old. She has a full face with
delicate features and a dark complexion
Her ngure. while well rounded, is emil
nently graceful. There is something in the
expression oil her eyes which reminds you
OF Mrs. Cleveland, too. OF course this
resemblance has never been cultivated.
Miss Wentworth's father is many times a
miIllonatre-made his money in Chicago
real estate. He IS besides, the direct de-
scendant OF Governor Wentworth, the last
colonial ruler of Massachusetts,. Bowen,
whom she IS TO marry, is the son of Henry
{, Bowen, editor of the Independent You
see. she IS socially beyond the temptation
OF initiating anyone; besides, she is of a
very retiring disposition, and is girl of
natural ability and superior education, al
together above any such nonsense.
Another girl. who found out accident
ally that she was Mrs. Cleyeland's double,
is Miss Hattie kimball, the daughter of
high official in the pension bureau at
washington City. She was constantly
mistaken for Mrs. Cleveland in her walks
about the capital. She had only to ride
through the parks to be followed by all
eyes and To receive hundred salutes from
people who mistook her for the presidents
wife. L understand she is very proud of
the resemblance-eopies Mrs. Cleveland's
dresses, arranges her hair in the same way,
affects Mrs. Cleveland's smile and, in
fact, makes sort of cult of the likeness.
But, bless you, that is not all. There
Is woman drawing good salary in one
OF the biggest millinery establishments on
Filth avenue, Just because she looks like
Mrs. Cleveland. That was the only rea-
son Tor engaging her. For some reason
people like to be waited on by her, and
she has been a good advertisement for the
mouse; The resemblance is very strong,
indeed. Height, build features, complex
ION, style. all correspond, and [ need
haruly say the likeness Is carefully and
artisticaily heightened. Is is not an
uncommon thing for fashionable dress
makers and milliners to employ doubles
OF noted women as saleswomen and rriers-

DO you know any other similar cases ?"

Dozens of them. Mrs George Gould
has counterpart in a beautiful young
singer in St. Patrick's cathedral. She is
Miss Anna Hewitt. The resemblance is
very striking. Mrs. Gould, who you know,
was Edith Kingdom, the actress heard of
II and expressed a desire to meet her dou-
bic. Miss Hewitt, who comes from an
old New Orleans family and is one of the
best singers in the cathedral choir, is now
frequent caller at George Gould's home,
where she is often mistaken by the sery-
ants for Mrs. Gould. The two young
women have lots of fun over their queer
similarity of appearance. When they
drive out together they are taken for
twins. l never heard, however, that
George found any difficulty in telling one
from the other
Then there is Mrs William Waldorf
Aston, who was Miss Pane, of Philadel-
phla. She has double in Miss Prescott,
daughter of Mrs. James d. Prescott,
welLknown leader of the Four Hundred.
Miss Prescott is strikingly handsome
girl-she must be to be like Mrs Astor,
who is an uneommonly beautiful woman
When she was at Rome few years ago
her husband was United States minister,
you remember-she was spoken of by
