Miss Edith Rockefeller, says the New
York Sun, has fancy for pianos. There
are five in her home. 4 West Fifty -fourt h
street. She likes them in wood to match
her boudoir, or in rosewood like the draw
ing room. She plays beautifully, and is
rich enough to indulge the fancy TO her
hearts desire.
Miss Pauline Whitney loves to write
French. poetry, and does so very well in
deed. She has contributed to all the
leading French periodicals, and is much
amused when a French paper refers
to her as 'the daughter of one of the eX-
emperors of America"
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, while rich
enough to abound in fads, really has very
few. She loves flowers, though, and has
them everywhere about her. The walls
of her little boudoir are covered with
them; and her mirrors, of which every
side of the wall has one, are entwined
with garlands painted upon the wall by
the most celebrated artists of America
She loves white flowers more than all.

Miss Virginia Fair has a fad for fans
She owns the largest and most expensive
private collection hereabOutS They are
all Tor use, too, ana match her COstum IS,
of which she has hundreds every year
Miss Fair did not set out with the idea Of
making collection of fans but the
number has increase until she has come
to have iustitiable pride in them.
Mrs. c. Oliver Iselin, who until recently
was the most celebrated society girl Of
her state, has long had a fondness for
candlesticks. She has every conceivable
sort, and her tables and mantCls are COW
cred with them. There are ieweled sticks
and Just the plain, pretty ones that come
in so many different kinds of china now
adays. Her collection would stock brio
a-brac shop nicely with that variety of
ornament
Mrs. Frederick Gebbard, when she was
Miss Lulu Morris had a wonderful fancy
for small dogs. She owned many of them
and used to get the newest importations
TO add to her list of pets. She named
them ALL too, and knew them by their
own titles even as they knew her.
Helen Gould has fad. You have heard
of it. 1t is for bowling. Last winter she
formedya, ,privite class ia bowIing, which
met on Monday nights at the Berkeley
Ladies Club for practice. There were
only about dozen in the class, and, ul-
fortunately for Miss Gould she was either
Ill or out of town nearly every night dur
ing the season. She hired two alleys for
her friends, so that the pins could be set
up IN one while the sport was going on in
the other. Miss Gould is strong enough
to be an expert bowler. An alley recently
built on her Tarryuown premises cost $40
900, and is as beautifully equipped as the
bowling alley at Biltmore, George Van
derollt's North Carolina home.
Miss Sylvia Green has fad which is
hers by inheritance. 1t is for money.
But, unlike her mother, Mrs Hetty
Green, 1t is not for the making of money,
but for saving it. She is constantly in
fear of the pOorhouse, and is afraid to
spend cent. She has three millions in
her own right from her grandfather, but
spends nothing. She is most agreeabl to
live with, being quiet, amiable, and ac-
cOmmOdating, though not SO cheerful as
she might be. She is not stingy TO the
| household, but will not spend anything on
herself. She has devised almost every
| imaginable kind Of bank for saving her
spare change" and is always looking
ahead into the future, with her money
| hidden in her hand for safe keeping. Her
friends say that tins is the result Of
early training, and will be eradicaued if
she ever comes into the fifty or so mil
lions which her mother will leave her.
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, the younger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Willy K. has a
tondness for bracelets. Mrs. Willy has
brought up her family well and has not
overindulged them in luXuries, but this
| daughter, who will make her debut in
about two years, owns a very large col
lection of these ornaments.
Miss Anna Gould, that ever-discuSSed
| helress, has fad for horses. At turlough
Lodge. her brOther's place in the AdirOn-
dack mountains, she keeps a magnificent
( team for her own driving, ana she has,
besides, several saddle horses there and a
stableful Of young horses, yet TO be
broken, for she will doubtless establish a
small sized stock farm there where there
IS so much room. Her fad for horses
dates from the day when her father
bought little pony cart for herself and
her sister Helen at Saratoga, years ago
when her mother was living.
Miss Winnie Davis has a fad, so it is
said. II is for getting her photograph
taken. She has been phOtoErlphGd so
often that she has grown TO ENJOY 1t, and
several times year she poses The de-
mand for her picture is very great as in
the south she is known as 1.-THE daughter
OF the cOnfederacy," and north she has
many friends Miss Davis has several
/ hundred of her own photographs. She is
beautiful enough TO have many more
taken.
Miss Julia Dent Grant, thought not yet
In society, knows great deal about the
etiquette of Austria, England and Amer
lca, and speaks many languages. She
now enjoys learning them, and since the
day when her cultured mother insisted
upon having German spoken as the Ian
guage OF the household she has mastered
several tongues. In the Austrian court,
when her father was foreign minister, il
was not an unusual thing 10 hear Miss
Grant speaking German, French, Italian
and Spanish all in one breath. then En-.
glish again, without a seconds hesitation
IN any of the tongues.
