The evening times., 1896-06-24

A special correspondent ofthe Philadelphia
Press, writing from Paterson, n j., in re.
gard TO Mrs. Hobart, has the following
to say THE Oftener one meets Mrs. Garret
A. Hobart, wifeof the Republican Vice Presi-
dential candidate, the more one is delighted
with her charm of manUer. She Il, indeed,
an attractive woman Mrs. Hobart's head
is broad across the forehead. The temples
are full. The eyebrows curve to follow
the shape OF the eyeiid The lines OF the
face are artisticaliy correct. IL is worth
racking ones wits for a clever express
sion TO see the answering response III her
eye. She has Il keen sense OF humor The
corners or her mouth show UNUSUAL reticence
for woman. Among other things that in
terested nie was Mrs. Hobart's comment on
MIR. Hanna. When asked il SIZE knew the
the great warrior, Mrs. Hobart's smile
grew more pronounced
YES, and l like him immensely
She stopped as If some amusing reooI-
lection had occurred to her Then she
asked:
Don't you think he enjoys good .oSe
as much as any one you know
said l Thought Mr. Hanna could, but
l am still curious as TO what experience
provoked tile lady's smile
ADMIREs MRS. MORTON.
Mrs. Hobart has great admiration for
Mrs. Levi p. Norton When | told her she
reminded me OF Mrs Morton, Mrs. Hobart
said:
You could not have said anything that
would have gratified me more. Mrs. Nor
ton is a grand character The first time
met Mrs. Morton 1 felt instantly drawn
to her. and that feeling has always lasted
One OF the first things 1 noticed WIS
Mrs. Hobart's walk. She holds herself
well and steps very gracefully. If Mrs.
Hobart is called on to shine in official
society in Washington she will need no
Delsarte training.
When size sits. instead of picking out the
easiest chair in the room. she is apt To drop
on seat without a back. Then-appears
tue self-possessioB of the woman who knows
her position. accepts it, and is fully accus-
toned to occupying it.
Sue has taper fingers on a rather long
Land. But Mrs. Hobart will have to revise
her handsnake. II is altogether too human
and alive for working purposes on recep-
ton days. The hand is warm and firm.
The clasp is strong and with revision will
be popular.
FOND OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
Her voice is musical Tue pronunciation
is careful without any provincialism in
a ccent. SIZE is not member OF any of
the ancestral societies. She said:
I've never made any claim. but Lieut..
Peter Tuttie was my Revolutionary an
cestor." :
Upstairs Mrs. Hobart showed me 4
quaint old family record, yeilowed and
Creased with age, dating back to 1853.
1t was hanging in an iuconspicuous place
in u corner of the hall, as If Mrs. Hobart
didn't base her claim 10 peoples con-
sideraiion on the dates upon that old piece
of paper. e.
The year of grief for the loss of the
daughter has caused Mrs. Hoharts face
to settle into very sober and grave
expression. When her face is animated
Mrs Hobart looks ten years younger.
II the Republican party wins, there
will he a handsome establishment over
which Mrs. Hobart will preside and where
she can entertain freely. Mrs. Hobart is
very fond of young people, and although
| there will be no young girl in the house
hold, the younger set will find Il hostess
! frequently in the Vice Presidents wife.
The small dances that Were formerly
given in the ballroom at Carroll Hall We're
| always the most enjoyable of the season.
