product OF the genius of her people as her
towns and cities themselves. We do not
often reflect how large part of the effect
or any landscape comes from what is put
into it by the hand of civilized man Think
OF Berkshire county as it came, beautiful
but still a desert, from the hand of the
Creator, even with its June glory on, or
adorned with the richest tints of autumn;
and then think of the same scene, its val-
leys and hillsides covered with titled fields
and waving corn and herds of beautiful
cattle, and the spires Of churches and the
smoke from human dwellings rising to the
sky the lowing Of kline and the sound Of
church bells, as George Herbert says:
Heard beyond the stars" and the hum of
factories and the music of children's g
voices. Tn this community there can be
found no native born who cannot read and
write. Here the poorest man lives in
comfort, and the w5aithiest feels kindly
concern for his humblest neighbor. The
valleys are fertile and luxurious, and
adorned by countless sparkling brooks and
by the beautiful streams of the Hoosac
and the Housatonic. The plains and the
sloping hillsides are adorned with farm
houses and herds of beautiful cattle. On
the north and south Greylock and Taconic
stand sentinels, as they have stood from
the beginning of time, and shall stand till
time shall be no more. The traditions of
the early settlements, of Indian wars, of
contests with Wild beast and savage, and
the history of later days, give to each
town and village its own historic and po-
etc association.
From these valleys and mountain sides
in the days of the revolution the farmers
hastened to 1Jin Washington at Cambridge
and Stark at Bennington; and again their
children from the same farm houses hast
ened to give their lives for their country in
the war of the Union. Here, in the early
times, dwelt Jonathan Edwards. foremost

The greatest hostess in the world sailed
for Europe yesterday on the Etruria.
She went from New York, where she
has given the largest dinners of the
winter, to Paris, where she will continue
to entertain, Then she will come back
to London, then to Newport, and finally
reach New York again next November
in time FOR the winter season.
Mrs William Astor, or, as she prefers
to be called, Mrs. Astor," can rightfully
be called the greatest hostess in the
world, because she is always entertain
ing, because she entertains in the
largest capitals of three nations at three
regular periods of every year. She is
the only woman who devotes her life to
entertaining. For 40 successive. years
she has done this; and now she has
earned her title by right of long-con-
tinued possession as well as by right of
hospitality
When sydney Smith contemplated
death, some one asked him for what he
wanted to be remembered. "For a
host" said he, for that means the car
dinal virtues. The generosity, hospitali-
ty, geniality, good nature common
sense, ability and virtue that are re-
quired in the ideal host or hostess be-
speak the best and most ideal disposi-
tion.
Mrs. Hetty Green, who is the richest
woman in the world, and her daughter,
who is one of the greatest heiresses, are
not good hostesses. They lack certain
qualities, whether generosity and geni-
ality or what, is not here stated, but no
such record as that of hostess can be
laid at their doors, however much they
may possess other admirable traits
Mrs. william Astor spends five mil
lions every year entertaining. Her
great house on Fifth avenue, adjoining
that Of her son, is kept open all the year
and supplied with caretakers so that the
benign owner can reign there during
December and January. In these two
months she gives three dinners a week
at cost of $500 each, a grand ball at
cost of many thousands, six dinner
dances costing a thousand for the music
and favors alone. and receptions, teas
and afternoons by the score. She is the
most profuse entertainer in society.
When Mrs. A5tor is gathered to her
fathers she will leave a gap that can
hardly be filled just as Ward McAllis-
ter did. If McAllister made laws, Mrs.
Astor carried them out. IT McAllister
suggested -Four Hundred Mrs. Astor
Created it. If McAllister pointed out
how to spend money. Mrs, Astor spent
it.
The personnel of woman who is the
talk of the whole world for the mag
nificence of her entertainments, is in
teresting. These, then, are the facts
about Mrs. Astor. It is not polite to ten
a lady's age, but you can guess it when
you know that she introduced her
granddaughter, Miss Van Allen, in so
ciety year ago Women do not have
2O-year-old granddaughters until they

ed Iare -past 60. Mrs. Astor,s youngest chiId,

are past 80. Mrs. Astor's youngest child,
John Jacob, is SO.
She is OF medium height, with half
gray hair, is rather slender, with we'll
preserved figure, and has very queenly
bearing. At Mrs Bradley Martins cos
tune ball, Mrs. Astor went as Marie
Stuart Whom did Mrs. Astor resem-
ble?" asked some one.
'she resembled Mrs. Astor," was bhe
ready reply, meaning that no queen was
more regal than she.
Here are some of the jewels purchased
by this queen Of society for entertain
ing her friends, for she dresses well, as
hostesses of today sometimes forget to
do, but which custom Mrs Astor follows
with old-time fidelity
A famous "stomachero ....... $500. 900
A pair Of hazel-nut earrings -. 5000
A string of matched diamonds
three yards long ..........,... 100000
A diamond tiara ............... 0000
OF finger rings she has bushel and
of diamond pins hundred These she
wears in great profusion.
In dress Mrs. Astor is peculiar, She
clings to black and white. AT her great
ball, when she received, unassisted by
even her daughters she wore white
satin. Usually she wears black velvet
and when Carolus-Duran painted her
he insisted in displaying the draperies
well, so as to look natural"
The career of the greatest hostess in
the world is also a remarkable one She
began as the daughter of a rich New
York trader, and when she married Mr.
Astor she dropped the name of Scher-
merhorn to take a less worthy one. But
Immediately her good old Dutch blood
began to show She inaugurated the
system of entertaining guests from all
over the country, and was the first New
York woman to entertain a Chicago
woman at dinner. and she was the first
woman to ignore the foolish social ri
valry which at That time existed be-
tween the two cities, New York and
Chicago.
Among other social customs made
popular by Mrs Astor are these:
That of giving expensive "favors" +"
Even Russia the country of dinners,
knew not favors before Mrs. Astor's
day.
The dinner dance" begun by her in
Paris and brought here in time for the
Newport season.
Tie horse show, which sprang into
existence through her encouragement
The grand opera, which was tame
affair until she dressed for it and sat
high in a box, with all her jewels on.
The private bali room, first owned by
one Of her near relatives through her
persuasions.
The keeping of high-priced chef
The owning Of a private yacht with
ones own band aboard
The custom Of keeping thoroughbreds
for family use and not for trotting pur-
poses for the men alone.
These are but a few of the customs
! inaugurated by This famous old lady,
