guests around her. And straightway
she became as model a mother to his
small family and as perfect an aid to
his yachting pursuits as she had hith-
erto been in the horse world.
No woman is more averse TO public
ity than Mrs. Iselin. She reluctantly
loaned her portrait to the portrait eX-
hibition last year. And it was gazed
at so long and so admiringly by both
men and women that the ushers had 10
gently remind the crowd to keep
moving" Mrs. Iselin would have Civ
en- worlds to withdraw it. 1t gave her
the red cheeks for which she is so much
admired. and all the pretty coloring
that she has in life.
Mrs. Iselin now, as the representa-
tive vachtswoman of America, has the
dul colOring of the sea. Her hair has
taken the bronze tinge of the sun on
the waves, and her face is as brownish
red as the water when the sun kisses
il good night. Her hands, strong and
nerfect as the traditional hand of the
blue-blood. are brown, and there are
suspicious looking hard spots upon the
palm that suggest a hand upon rope
now and then.
Living upon a racing yacht like the
Defender may be a great honor, but 1t
is not the most luxurious thing IN the
world to do. A woman who has had
her own dressing-room, her own break
fast-room. her own boudoir and two
maids to wait on her must be in love
with Yachting when she can give up
all for cabin that answers the pur-
nose of dressing and sleeping room and
= mess-room that is not designed for
dainty guests.
Stories are told of Mrs. Iselin's en-
tbusiasm. She so dearly loves De-
fender! Her eyes have a soft look
when she glances ut the white sails
that are to work for the cup, and she is
more enthusiastic in showing off its
beauties than in exhibiting the town
and country houses of which she and
Mr.. Iselin have a dozen or more.
One day there came aboard party
of ladies. 1t was just after a trial spin
of the Defender, and all furniture was
taken off the boat TO Tighten il.
Go to land quickly, Ollie, she said
to her husband, and get some furni-
ture. They will not think the De-
fender is a fine boat if they have to sit
on the ropes as we do"
To shore MI Iselin went, returning
with a load of light furniture for the
Yacht so that all were comfortable.
Mrs. Iselin herself sat upon the ropes,
for she has rested upon them so much

greatest yachtswoman of America, and
tha Dunraven sisters are ranked in
their own country as the greatest Eng
land boats But Mrs. lselin has
earned her title this summer TO the
greatest. and, whether she gets the cup
or not, will continue to hold the name.
Mrs. Iselin is a very young woman.
And for a season she was known as
"the greatest heiress in America. She
was so exploited and so considered in
society. For a long time her identity
was as mysterious TO strangers as that
of q hidden princess. That she lived
m Providence in great hOusethat she
owned fine horses and exhibited them
yearly at all the horse shows OF the
country. that she was the guest winters
of Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt in New
York and that she had a cottage at
Newport summers were tangible facts.
But so marvellous We're the stories told
about her prowess in equine fields and
so great the glamour that surrounded
her individuality that she seemed to
bear more of a charmed life than an
ordinary girls existence. Hope God
dard. the New England heiress' was a
name to conjure with.
HER OLD FAD FOR HORSES.
One night at the New York Horse
Show it was whispered about that next
evening Miss Goddard would ride her
imported prize mare. Lady DerWent, so
as to have the pleasure OF carrying of
the ribbon upon the ears of the great
est lady's saddle horse. And to see her
mount and ride in the ring a greater
crowd than ever assembled. The Mad
ison Square Garden was packed beyond
the doors. But Miss Goddard didn't
ride. Lady Derwent went through her
PAGES according to the programme. But
i'm one of the boxes, quietly dressed and
listening to the comments Of the
crowd. sat Miss Goddard. No one could
ever accuse her OF nOtorlety seeking.
When Mr.. Iselin laid claim TO her
hand. as the man most nearly deserv-
ing the woman who had distinguished
herself in the very fields in which he
had won first honors, nobody thought
Miss Goddard would accept him. Mr.
Mackay. of California, had the inside
track to her affections, or if he had not
there were others. But Miss Goddard
married Mr.. Iselin one sunny June day
a year ago, and sat dawn under mar
ouee on her fathers lawn with 500
