host of intellectual advantages beyond
the ordinary beauty. She is of medium
height, slender, prettily rounded figure,
has pale brunette coloring, black brown
eyes that burn and flash and might ma
turally belong to Spain. an oval face,
darkest brown hair and firm mouth,
apt to look severe at times, yet certain
ly handsome. Like all very pronounced
types, Mrs. de Koven has plenty of ad-
mirers and plenty who find nothing to
admire about her whatever. She has no
negative qualities Of either brains or
personnel, and whatever may be said
for or against her beauty, there is no
getting away from the fact that before
her you are in the presence of strong
individuality She has a beautiful
hand, not too small, but finely and
firmly tapered. Her lines have usually
been cast in prominent places. She is
the daughter of Senator Farwell of Chi
cago, the sister Of lovely Mrs Hobart
Chatfeld Taylor and the wife of the
enormously popular composer Of Robin
Hood and Rob Roy" She does
good many accomplished things well
and is prone to bring to satisfactory
issue anything she sets out to do During
the past Summer, watching her brother
in-law, Chattield-Taylor. engaged over
a novel, she decided she could turn out
a novel herself if she tried and gain a
good deal Of mental relief in the effort
For Mrs de Koven had plenty to say
about social life in New York and her
own sex Of the fashionable world in
particular. She is somewhat of figure
in New York society, due to her hus-
bands prestige as well as her own tai
ents, and as she has a keen observation
and some wit and logic her novel,
which has just gone to press, may be
looked forward to with interest.
Another of New York's young bellies
is Mrs. George de Forrest, the sister of
Mrs. Duncan Elliott, nee Sallie Har-
gous, but much more striking and vi
vacious than her much talked of sister.
She is dusky brunette whose facial
beauty lies in a pair of wonderful brown
eyes, with fascinating diablerie Of ex-
preston. She has a beautiful figure,
with handsome neck and shoulders.
which she drapes in startlingly decol-
lete style. Her vivid freedom Of express
sion amuses and fascinates society
good deal. Indeed society remarks
pretty often, "She'll say whatever
comes into her head She dances we'll
and loves the world, its bathrooms and
its songs, entering into every amuse-
ment with boundless vivacity. She
doesn't know what constraint or stuck
uppishness mean and does not set out
to please the world in which she moves
one little bit But she is an immense
favorite, and the eternal variety Of play
ing her splendid eyes, which fash truth
and intelligence as well as seduction,
wins most hearts
Her love of doing what she pleases is
proverbiaL "She is, remarked friend
to Mr.. de Forrest one day, ''the very
image Of Sappho as she looks in that
picture coming down the stair if she
were only to dress like
''Don't, for heavens sake, tell her
thatr' broke in Mr.. de Forrest anxious
ly. "She'll get herself up that way
next time.

Mott is daintily fashioned in petite
mold. Before the Napoleonic craze set
in with the public Mrs. Mott was long
devoted to the fad, and society would
have it that the spread OF the mania
was simply a radiation of Mrs Motifs
enthusiasm. She has magnificent col
lection of portraits and relics OF Napo-
leon, all classified together in a Napo-
leonic shrine at her home.
