Dozens Of them. Mrs. George Gould has
a counterpart in 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 It and
expressed desire to meet her double. Miss
Hewitt, who comes from an old New Or
leans family and is one OF the best singers
in the cathedral choir, is now G frequent

are taken for twins. never heard, how
ever, that George found any difficulty in
telling one from the other.
Then there is Mrs. William Waldorf
Astor, who was Miss Pane OF Philadelphis.
She has a double in Miss Prescott, daughter
of Mrs. James D.. Prescott, a well-known
leader Of the Four Hundred Miss Prescott
is strikngly handsome girl-she must be
to be like Mrs. Astor, who is an uncommonly
beautiful woman. When she was at
Rome a few years ago-her husband
was United States minister. you re-
member-she was spoken Of by Queen
Margherita as the most beautiful
woman in all Italy. Miss Prescott and
Mira. Astor are acquainted. Last year they
were dressed precisely alike at the first as
sembly, and nothing else was talked about
but their resemblance. OF course copying
the dresses of a society woman is a favorite
plan of the cultivated doubles. IDress-
makers, hairdressers and milliners are be-
| sieged for points and even bribed to give
them. l suppose some women think il
pays for any amount Of trouble TO be sRluted
in mistake for Mrs. Astor or Mrs Wander
bilt on the avenue.

,tIs-, Gr.agN 100 \.

| New York and she is on Mrs. Vanderbilt's
calling list. There is a cloak model, too,
employed by big Broadway house on the
strength of her resemblance TO Mrs. Van
derbilt. and she is said to be worth 100 times
her salary annually to the firm.
"Mrs. ChRuncey NJ. Depew tells the story
| herself of meeting her own double in a
Fifth avenue store. The double was the
head of department and apparently did
not know how nature had favored her, for
she and Mrs. Depew were equally astonished
when they met face to face. Mrs Depew
| has other doubles besides. One is the wife
of Frof. Watts of the scientific school at
Yale College. Mrs. Depew is 10 years old,
of medium hight. with well-rounied figure.
She mas fine carriage which imparts dig
nifty to her appearance. Photographs do 10
justice to her, for the charm of her face is
largely in its sweetness and expression. Her
soft brown hsr is worn in curls high on her
forehead and head Her eyebrows curve

Mrs. James G.. Blaine has had many

peculiar TO this country. When the Prin-
cess of Wales became lame many years
ago, through white swelling in her knee,
