While it is true that Miss Kate Field is
located in Washington permanently, it is
also true that she e<ips about the country
50 often that sbe may be said to be resi-
dent OF either San Francisco, Chicago or
New York. Few women have been as
privileged TO enjoy lie friendships of as
many famous men and women. She is one
who impresses the forcefulness of her own
personality on every one with whom she
speaks, She has a clear, incisive voice. a
chariningly frank manneY and an inter
rogatioD point constantly at her tongue
end. II she does not like a person she
makes him understand IL without giving
oIcnse. If some statement is made in her
presence that ghe does not indorse she has
no hesitanGy in making known her own
position. Yet she does this in such quiet,
unobtrusive way that no one can find fault
with her.
In addition to being a clever and forcible
writer, she is also patient student of the
drama. She appeared on the stage once in
New York as Peg Wellington. | believe
she was not success, but she continues to
study dramatic works, and she is consid-
cred one of the ablest writers on the drama
in this country. One thing greatly in her
favor In her newspaper work is that she
knows what she is writing about. She has
travelled all over America and Europe
many times, and she is on friendly terms
with the great public men Of both cont
nents.
In appearance Miss Field is short of
stature, but as straight as an Indian. Her
head is we'll poised Her face is one that
beams with Intelligence. She has firm
mouth, and eyes that seem to penetrate the
very hearts OF those about her. Her hair,
trifie gray, falls gracefully over her fore
head in slight bang. She is one Of the
best women speakers have ever listened
to.-Foster Coates in New York Mail and
