seven languages. She learned to use a
type writer, with which she wrote her
manuscripts, which were afterward
read by her sister. Most of the pro-
ceeds of her literary work were de-
voted to benevolences.

daughter of the late Peter Cooper, the
philanthropist, is very much interested
in all works on formal gardening, Civ

they are arranged and planted. She is
very much interested in laces. All
sorts of curious and intricate stitches
and drawn work she studies. She has
a large collection of decorative laces.

all sorts, having made a great study of
different kinds of weaving and en-
broideries. She has large collection
of ancient and modern stuffs, also of
books relating to their study.
