Suddenly a long forgotten name has come
into prominence in Washington, and former
society queen has been pursued by would-be
intervie wers, fortunately so far without
avail. This is no less a person than Mrs.
| Kate Chase, whose petition to the court for a
restraining order to prevent the sale at pub
! lie auction OF her father pictures and library
i has brought her once more before the public
/ TO the present day and generation she is as
unknown as though sse had iourished in n
| past age in the wids OF Cafferaria, but to the
Older ones her name was once the daily
4 theme OF praise and adulation. Few women
1 have enjoyed greater social power and cut a
| wider sWathe in the social world than did
Mrs Kate Chase in the heyday OF her fame
and popularity Now she walks the streets
and not even the friends of former days turn
TO give her glance, 50 changed is she. and
so wholly has she passed out OF the socia
reckoning.
