To understand the secret OF her power
one must understand the man whom

Mrs. Dewey as Mrs. Hazen was noted
for her Wit, for her intellectual bril-
liancy: her salon came as near being
famous as that Of the late Mrs. Kate
Chase SpIpgue when in the zenith OF
her social popularity. Nature gifted
her with a clever wit and education
and travel added the advantage OF ex-
ceptional cultivation.

OF Admiral Dewey himself must say,
that he has a beautiful face. 1t is so
candid, so overfowing with sympathy
and so wonderfully magnetic. Goodness
and kindness are indicated by every
line OF the countenance. II is not easy
TO understand his marvellous influence

are some people whom nature has gift

them. He is a quiet man, with quiet
