Is Miss Louise, the Daughter of j.
Pierpont Morgan.
New York Journal.
L have always entertained a consider
able respect for the Morgans, not as
might be supposed, on account of the
commanding position occupied by big
hurly ]. Pierpont Morgan in the financial
world Of both hemispheres, but because
of the pronounced and sincere d5staste
which they entertain for everything in
the nature of publicity. The Wander
bits, the Astors, the Goulds, the Drexels
and the other multimiIIionalre families
of our great plutocracy live in perfect
blaze of publicity, and not only make no
ATTEMPT TO, withdraw from it's glare, but
positively seem TO revel in it TO such an
extent that it has become necessary to
their very existence
With the Mcrgans it is different When
they profess to court privacy they really
mean it, and that is why less is known
about their home life and about the per-
sonality of the big financer's children
than concerning lots of people of immeas-
Ilrable smaller Importance.
Hence the details given below 10 sass
exceptional interest For they serve to
slightly draw aside on the eve of Miss
Morgans wedding day the curtain be-
hind which her family has preferred to
remain shielded from public gaze. and to
enable the readers of the Jol q al to Oh
tain a glimpse of the home life of a fine
type Of the American girl, who has kept
her sweetheart waiting for seven long
weary years before she could bring her
self to part from her father, whose prin-
cipal associate and chum she has been,
and who, with rare good sense and pa
triotiSn1, has rejected the offers of scores
of foreign suitors in order to give her
hand to a true-blue American in the per-
son of Herbert Satterlee, whom every
| body Will persist in calling young, a.
though nearer forty than thirty.
If Miss Louise PierpOnt Morgan had
been born a boy instead of being rele-
gated to the sO-called weaker sex, there
is no question about what her career
would have been. She would have taken
her fathers place at the head of the
great banking house, second in size and
Importance only to that of the Roths-
childs. and she would have flied the
place with rare ability.
She is much like her father, this old
est daughter, in many respects. She has
his tall stature, a Womans share of his
gigantic strength, his inperiouS DISPOSE
tion,- his secretiveness and dislike 10
publicity, his love of the open air and
the sports that pertain to it, chief Of
which is the royal sport of yachting.
She resembles him in face as well as
physique, and those who know her best
say she is born financier, and that she
could handle great financial enterprises
even now If given the opportunity; that
she is perfectly familiar with the trend
of the markets of the world and the
reasons governing the rise and fall Of
securities.
1t has been said that ]. Pierpont Nor
gan often goes to her for advice, but
this is a family secret He is not the
sort Of a man to lean much on the opin-
ions or advice of Others He is a natural
born leader of men, a chieftain in the
great clan whose aim and end is money
He is McGregor, who always sits at the
head of the table, and his daughter sits
on his right hand. She is his favorite
for she understands her father as none
other of his children do. And under
standing is power in such a case.
AS for Miss Morgan's figure, tall, 1.-THE,
graceful showing the effects Of golf and
tennis and weeks af1oat on her fathers
yacht and plenty Of exercise on a horse
that is not afraid to go, it is admirable,
especially when arrayed in one of the
original and striking gowns which she
loves to affect, gowns which could all
most literally be described as stunning"
Miss Morgan is fine musician and an
accomplished lnguist. Ever since she
was a tall slip Of girl she has been
interested in church and guild work,
and she is one of the most earnest work
ers and lavish supporters of the great
work connected with st. Georges parish
house, one of the widest, wisest aird
most benefcient charities in the city
Scores of women, some of them running
up to great-grandmothers ages, find their
sole support In the labor obtained at the
parish house-seWing, knitting, embroid-
ering and the lil1e-and Miss Morgan and
her friends see to 1t that there is a mar
ket for their wares
1t is said that when the bride marches
up the broad aisle of ST. Georges on
the arm of her father everything save
the bridal gown, her slippers and Jewels,
will represent the handiwork of these
grateful women.
Miss Morgan has had many wooers.
She has had proud titles kneeling at her
feet, and, smiling mischievously has
hidden them rise and go their way I'M
blessed by the Morgan millions. She
has had good Americans-Splendid fell
lows, who sincerely admired her tall
ents, her common sense, her many at
tractions-offer their hearts and hands,
and has said them nay.
MANY thanks has been the SUB
stance of her answer, but L prefer
things as they are. 1 could not improve
on my present condition. [ do not need
husband. I have papa, my chum. He
is man enough for me-
have sped-and she has remained sin
gle.
]. Pierpont Morgan was always fond
of his other daughters. He sent his
son Jack-good, steady fellow-to Lon
don to represent him in the London
branch Of his banking house, J. S. Nor
gan & Go. But Louise he idohzes, and
while he has never sought to turn her
footsteps away from the marriage al
tar, he has been glad that she pre-
ferred chuu1s zip to wifehood, no mat
ter what title and honors went with the
latter
And J. Pierpont Morgan does rot de-
spise a title by any means. He has a
great regard for persons whose names
are to be found in Burlzes Peerage or
the Almanac de Gotha.
It must not be supposed that because
Miss Morgan on especial occasions could
appear in bedazzhng gowns that she
is butterfly of fashion or anything
of that sort. Indeed, she is quite the
contrary. She has. no objection to APP
pearing any number Of times in a gown
which she fancies, but she likes best of
all her chic yachting costumes, in which
she is careful to observe all the forms
Her collection of gems, by the way
is a superb one. She likes them, and
that is sufficient. Her father IS always
on the lookout for something new, and,
