The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-10-07

Helen Matherson of the New York Even
ing Sun remarked, in the course of an
Interesting conversation recently, that
northern women were afraid of no one,
except southern women, and that she had
known of only one southern girl, who had
gone to New York to make her living,
who had failed. This bright little woman
herself who made this surprising an
nouncement, was for a while editorially
connected with the New York Evening
Sun, but is now Mrs. Moody; owns
lovely home, which she has furnished
with colonial, antique furniture, picked
up gradually, until she has a valuable
and artistic collection Her rooms are
filled with souvenirs of friends among
the artists and literary circles.
But it was not of Mrs. Moody I intended
to write, but of the southern success in
Northern soil Women who have gone
there and got places on the newspapers al
a salary of SIS per month, are now getting
three and four times that much, as edi-
tors.
Miss Bisland of New Orleans, the rapid
transit journalist, gets large prices for
her articles. She is now Mrs. Wettmore,
one of the Four Hundred, and only writes
because she wants to. Her younger sister
has been in New York only four years,
and is editor of the woman's work of S.
S. McClure's magazine.
The best paid women journalists are
not the Nellie Blys, or Meg Merilles. They
are often not known beyond their own
circle of friends; they do no sensational
work; and are not heard of across the
land; but they get the big salaries and
have the most dignified and most re-
sponsible places.
Not only the Journalists have done well.
but southern talents have blossomed in
other branches. Miss Goodwin's success
is well known. Her artistic taste and
marked talent have given her command
of lucrative and ever-increasing bust
ness. She is now in Paris, studying art
under the most approved direction. She
will return in the fall. and resume her
duties as fashion illustrator.
And now I want to speak of one of the
dearest and most attractive little women
In New York, but imported from the
south. l mean Odette Tyler Those who
have seen her fascinate and charm her
audience by her graceful, finished acting,
and her splendid horsemanship as she
mounts and manages her large, white
horse, a gift to her from Mr.. Frohman,
or who have seen her above the foot
lights, do not often have the opportunity
OF a glance at her home life Her in
formal receptions, held Wednesdays and
Saturdays, between the matinee and
night performances, are a pleasure to her
friends, who get an insight to the life
forget the actress. Her father Gen.
Kirkland, drops in to see his daughter
and assist her in receiving her friends,
and King, the dog, is by no means an I'M
important member of the household.
Miss Kirklands sitting room, behind the
secenes of the Academy of Music in New
York, where she is playing the leading
part in Shenandoah" is low, homelike
comfortable apartment A luxurious
lounge, with inviting cushions, stands at
one side; her desk is filled with notes,
flowers and pictures; rugs of oriental rich
ness of color, cover the floor. As she
sits gowned in soft mysterious, flow
ing garment, generally known as tea
gown, but to all appearances, becom-
ing and graceful combination of pale
green silk and creamy batiste, she is
lovely. She eats rare beef and drinks
ginger ale and wears an exquisite ring
of rubies and diamonds.
Her own home on Forty-second street
is a marvel of originality, combined with
pleasing effects. In one corner is q
lounge across the corner, covered with d
Bagdad drapery and tiger skin. Above
this is a shelf. covered with coon skins
the result of her good Workmanship
on this shelf are pictures, flowers and
books A canopy of soft-colored drap-
cry is above this lounge and a dozen OF
more cushions in luxurious DISAGREEMENT
are heaped up on and around 1t, inviting
one to feel tired and enjoy the depth and
breadth of its luxury. Her tea table holds
the finest china and the daintiest spoons
Her pictures are well selected and her
lamps give the softest light through pink
shades. Her manner is a delightful com
bination of southern cordially and grace
with a dash Of New York crispness She
is a charming hostess and makes one fee
at home Immediately under her charac-
teristic magnetism.
