Herolne OF s.Ivanhoe.,,

Rebecca Gratz. founder Of the Foster
Jewish home in Philadelphia, whose
pCrtrait was unveiled in that institu-
tion recently, was tine original Of Sir
Walter Scott's famous heroine Rebecca
in his novel of "Ivenhoe. It was
Washington Irving who told Scott all
about Rebecca GrAtz of her many
charms, personal and intellectual, and
of her fine character Out Of these cor-
versations Sir Walter built up his grand
heroine in "Ivanhoe''--a heroine who
has been known and admired by mil
lions who never heard Of the original.
Miss Gratz was loved by youth be-
longing to one of the best families in
the Quaker City. but although she
loved him in return she sacrificed her
self to her religion and refused to marry
him. Matilda Hoffman, the love of Ir-
Wings life, was Miss GRATIS dearest
friend.
The beautiful Jewess was the daugh.
ter of Michael Gratz, an Austrian who
settled in Philadelphia in 1850 and en-
gagged in the Indian trade. After the
Revolution he acquired large landed in
terests in many parts Of the country.
Among these was the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky. His daughter was born in
1881 and lived TO be SO years old. Henry
Clay paid her marked attention. One
Of her auntg married DR.. Nicholas
Schuyler and was never forgiven by her
family. Miss Gratz was very charitable
and founded many institutions, among
them the Foster home. She was beau
tiful and highly cultured in every way.

Az German Court Balls.

A few years ago the minuet and the
gavot were the special dances Of the
Berlin court, the kaiser himself having
taken special fancy to them. Some
how they did not find much favor in So
ciety, and, after all. the old fashioned
dances. like good many other old fash
ioned habits. are all very we'll when the
actors are dressed in the clothes of the
period and resemble in mode Of thought
and carriage of body their great-graud-
parents. But few young people are like
their forefathers. There was some rea-
sou for the introduction Of a fanciful
and picturesque dance at the grand fes-
tivals of an imperial court, especially
as very special rules prevailed there.
Ills well known that the late Kaiserin
Augueta strongly objected to waltzing,
and so does the court of Berlin. The
consequence is that a kind Of galop
was invented for Berlin-a two timed
movement, danced to the music Of the
waltz, but not at all resembling the old
deux temps waltz.
In Mecklenburg the waltz. IN never
danced at all at court, the reason for
this being, as it is said. that the Grand
Duchess Marie does not like dRcsiug.
Moreover, almost everywhere 40 Ger
