WILL NOT PUT on STYLE.
Mrs. Charley Fair Talks About the

Senator.
Charles L. Far was overcome with grief
yesterday. aud his wife renamed with him
in their apartments at the Lick House, try
Ing 10 keep all but absolutely necessary
visitors away.
my husband has taken the Senator's
death terribly to heart. 1t seems 10 have
broken him all up" said Mrs. Charles
Fair. when questioned on the subject. ''Of
course. having seen so little of him, l can
not take it lust the same way myself" she
added frankly, bat all the same, 1 feel it,
and wish with ali nv heart that the Sen
ator had lived. We both believe that In a
few years he would have seen things diff
ferently and would have done better by
us-not ia regard to money, though, l
don't mean that"
When asked whether the will was salts
factory Mrs. Fair replied: II have no rea-
son to be dissatisfied; far from il, for
never expected anything from him. Yes"
she added, earnestly, 81 speak the truth
when say candidly as woman that l did
not marry with an eve to the Senator's
millions. We have been very happy with
ont wealth; | only hope we shall be as
happy with it. For myself l should have
been more cOntented to go on Just as we
have been going. One thing is certain,
and that is that money will never make
any difference in me. l won't try to be
proud"
Certainly it would have been hard to
imagine any one who looked less like try
lug to be proud than Mrs. Charley Fair at
that moment. She was dressed in a black
cashmere gown that even a little seam
stress would have considered plain and
her hair was smOothed down with severe
simplicity that admitted of no curls or
bangs. Ornaments she had none and there
was not even trace of powder on her
nose. As for Mrs. Fairs manner it was
as unassuming as her dress, and it was
evident that she honestly meant it when
she said that she would never try to put
on stvle."
When asked IL she could give any SOU
venirs OF the late Senator Mrs. Fair re-
piled: THAT would be difficult, as | only
saw him once. On that occasion he sat
down and talked very pleasantly. He
was always kind. and when my hus stands
allowance was stopped he gave US a pretty
fiat on Van Ness avenue and a monthly
allowance. l did not see him again be-

When asked whether she had on anv &C.

Far, the answer was: 81 can say nothing
about them. Tor have never met either of
them. They are both coming to California
for the funeral and will arrive here next
Thursday. The funeral will take place in
Grace Church. Beyond that really have
nothing to tell about Senator Fairs daugh-

In reply to question as to her plans for
the future, Mrs. Fair answered promptly
that her home would always be in San

be here.
81 think that is about all can say. My
husband is so broken down over his faith

leave him for IonpD
