to his daughter, Mrs. George Griswold Haven,
OF New York
Three of the heirs Of the late A. 7. Stewart
are women and unmarried. They manage
their money and are reported to have made
some shrewd gains in Wall street during the
past year. They are the heiresses Helen c.,
Resale. and Virginia Butler. They got
their fortunes from Mrs. Stewart, who was
their aunt. Miss Helen, who is the eldest,
received IS, 500, 900. The other two were left
$1,000 900 apiece. They are all very COM
Portable. Mrs. Catharine Winthrop was one
of the daughters of the late Moses Taylor
He bequeathed her 50, soc, 900. Her husband,
Robert Winthrop, is prominent Wall street
banker. Two daughters of B. T. Babbitt,
the soap manufacturer, received 81 800, 900
each when their father died. One married
Clarence Z. Hyde and the other Frederick E.
Hyde. They have perfect confidence in their
husbands, but like the pastime of handling
to large extent, the disposition of their
fortunes. Frederick 81. Cassett, the dry
goods merchant left 81 500 900 to each OF his
daughters Mrs. George E. Dodge and Mrs.
Augustus D. Tuiliiard. George Law, the
contractor, left Mrs. Sarah Williams and
Few women in the country are shrewder
real estate investors than Mrs. Henry LeGrand
Cannon. She was Miss Elizabeth NJ Thomp-
son of Detroit. She got nearly 81, 100000
from relatives in the west, and learned how
to invest it and add to its aggregate before
she was married. Everybody remembers the
late Miss Catherine Wolfe. She was left an
enormous fortune, something like S20,O00,-
600, by her father, john D. Wolfe. He was
big hardware importer and extensive real
estate SPECTATOR. Miss Wolfe lived for years
quite alone in a big house on Madison
Square. Her charities; were numerous and
made her name familiar, Among the few
friends to whom she left, part of her riches
was Miss Laura r. Conkling. Miss Conk-
ling received 81, 100000 from the female phil
anthropist. She is conservative in investing
and is understood to have developed a good
deal of financial ability.
1t would not do in writing of the rich
women OF America, to omit the names of
these girls whose fortunes, either in possess
sion or in prospect, are fabulous. Moreover,
they are all good looking, and at least one of
them is strikingly handsome. Miss Helen
Gould had S15,000,0 900 left her by Jay Gould.
1t was left to her absolutely and without
restriction. She is mistress of her own
ducats, and it is to her credit that much of
her income goes for charity. If her father
was anything bnt charitable, bis, daughter is
nothing unless charitable. While Miss Helen
has the handling Of her own riches, she relies
largely upon her brother when she intends
investing. AS most Of her fortune came to
her in the shane of the most substantial sort
of securities, there is little for her to do but
receive the interest. Abortion of her income
is all she needs to bother about investing.
Miss Virginia Fair, Of San Francisco, spends
most of her time in New York or at Newport
with Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, her sister.
Her mother is dead and left her three mil
lions of dollars. Her father, ex-senator
Fair, will leave her at least $40, 000, 900 more.
She is very handsome and is one of the COM
ing society bellies. She is shrewd and knows
