The recent death of Mr.. Lowe will
eliminate the president OF the Fedora

resident OF Atlanta. Ga, and has all the
advantages OF good birth, tact and

her TO attend the women's meetings to

position, but during her stay i'm the
capital IL Is probable that she will live
in retirement.
There are many American women
married TO French noblemen, and, while
only few OF these belong to the Fau-
bourg st. German set, even those who
adorn a more ostentatious, but less ex-
alted, circle are not likely 10 extend

was threaded through big. dull, silver
buckle. The color of this gown was
palest banana, and the cloth was as fine
and clinging as cotton Grape. There
were deeper yellow cuffs, and chiffon
boa and cap to be worn in alienation
with a flower toque and muff. These

the inventor are, by marriage the
Duchess Decazes and the Princess de
Scey- -MOntbellard. AS the Misses Singer
have spent most OF their life abroad.
their acqIaintances In America are
very few. The Countess de Sadonede-
Babriac was Miss Florence Phalen OF
New York; Natchez was the birthplace
of the Marqulse de Suarez d'Aulan,
wife Of a French cavalry officer: the
Countess de Avenel and Countess
d'Aramon are American by birth; the
Baroness de Baigne was Miss Amelie
Urquhardt OF New Orleans and Is re-
lated To Mrs. James Brown Potter. All
OF these ladies will entertain some OF
the visiting Americans doubtless.

was Miss Anna Gould In her magnifi-
cent mansion on the Avenue du Bois de
Boulogne. modelled after the Trianon,

One of the most notable figures in
Partisan exposition society will be. OF
course, Mrs. Horace Porter OF New
York, wife of the American ambassador
TO France. Airs. Porter Is very hos
pitable woman. and her beautiful home
on the Rue de Villejust is admirably
adapted for entertaining.

the most beautiful American woman

TO be the only American woman not
married to a Frenchman who is received
on terms OF equality in the salons OF
the Faubourg st. German. She is the
young widow of George Law, the New

lived much abroad. she is well known
in New York society.
