FOUR FAMOUS WOMEN.
HOW MRS. PARAN STEVENS ABUSED
THE GRANDFATHER OF HER
HOSTESS.

New and Characte ristics Stories of
Mrs. John BigeIovv, a Former Per-
sonnge in New York City-What
Mrs. John Sherwood Has Done for
Girls in the PrOvlnces-Mrs. Hetty
Green Was Born to Wealth and
Used to BE Known as the princess
of whales"
New York, April 12.-During the latter
part of the last century four American
women have radiated influences so strong
and far reaching that necessarily their
names must pass down with the history
of the country. Two are still living,
Mrs. Hetty Green, the most renowned
woman financier of her day, and Mrs.
John Sherwood. who has been the literary
light of society. Mrs. John Bigelow,
whose place has not yet been filed, fig
ured in society as shrewd politician
while Mrs. Paran Stevens. mother of Mrs.
Paget of England, used to preside over
what more nearly approached a salon
than any other gatherings which the New
World has yet known.
The general outlines of Mrs Stevens
tition. She was absolutely fearless and
utterly indifferent to people from the
standpoint of their own pedestals. Men
tally she placed them in a scale of her
own weighing. To some she took strong
fancies and forgaVe them much, while
others she disliked intensely. Nothing hu-
man could save an enemy from the
venom of her tongue; the grave itself
would not afford a shield. Just as poig-
nantly, just as roundiy, would she SANDER
some offender after his death as when
he had been able to defend himself. Nat
uralfy she made many enemies, but silent
ones, for she was too powerful to offend.
By many in New York the occasion is
still remembered when Mrs. Stevens at
a large dinner party loudly disparaged
the deceased grandfather of her hostess.
Her TRADE, indeed, was the entertainment
Of the evening. for her wit was always
terse and amusing. And so convinced did
her hostess become of her ancestors lack
of merit that the next day she took a
large marble bust of him, which had long
adorned the drawing room, and had it
buried out in her back yard This, indeed
was scalp added to Mrs. Stevens belt.
For seeming the qualities of success in
others Mrs. Stevens instinct was almost
phenomenal, and she preferred always to
have about her those who were ascend
ing the social ladder to those who had AL
ready arrived. In her varied experiences
with men and things she had learned to
recognize the coming man. Time and
again, therefore, she was clever enough
to place such people under obligations to
her at the beginning of their career that
by so doing she might secure their favor
when they reached the top. There was
nothing Mrs. Stevens loved better than
to head about celebrity by the nose She
was also an inveterate matchmaker. In
her heart, however, there was a corner
for girls who were poor and often she
gave them an opportunity to see some
thing of life at her Sunday evenings"
and to meet perhaps, and to attract one
of the jeunesse d'ore of the town.
The one thing she could not abide in
women was languidness. In seat she
always sat upright. AS she used to say,
her back knew not the feeling of cush-
The Savannah morning news., 1901-04-14

er or not he has time to spare. She then
proceeds directly TO the point. When
warmed to her subject, however she
speaks long and fluently. What the ulti-
mate result will be of this concentration
of her powers is still wrapped in mystery,
but through her day and generation Mrs.
Green has, at least. been a prominent ex-
ample, as was John Gilpin's wife, Of
woman with frugal mind.
Ice Cream Etiquette.
Vastly different in temperament than
any one of these women is Mrs. John
Sherwood. who long in the public eye,
is not only recognized for her high So
cial accomplishments, but also through
the power of her pen. For refinement
and good manners she has ever taken a
stand, acting out these principles in her
daily life and further spreading the in
fuence of her numerous books on the sub
ject. To her youth has always had a
powerful attraction. She declares a group
Of young girls to be the most subtly ro-
mantle and attractive sight in the
world. "sweeter even than the breath of
roses" For such young creatures who
have lived in small towns or out in the
country Mrs Sherwood's fondness is very
keen. She has taught them. she says.
Ito take an Ice" instead OF wanting
plate Of ice cream" She has set them
the example OF remaining gracious and
unruffled under the most trying circum-
stances. Every one remembers the even

complete set of leaves, bands, panels ETC.
shows a design Of green leaves and huse
lavender chrysanthemums; another as
plays peach blossoms woven into a mesh
OF brown lace. and most beautiful are
the mixed red and yellow rose sets.
The Turquoise ParasOI.
With such delightful and novel costumes
an entirely new creation OF sunshade ~
carried. From Paris comes a startling
turquoise parasol. made of thick tafeta
which in color and pattern exactly repre-
sents the blue matrix stone that is now
so popular 1t is mounted on a Drown
ivory handle, studded with big round ana
oblong turquoises. The afternoon parasol
is exceedingly vivid and made in many in
stances to match the gown with which 1t
is used Embroidered batiste sunshades
are lined with rose or green silk in ac-
cordance with the foundation skirt of It's
owners batiste dress. Plain taffeta para
sois are often ornamented with little Wat
teau scenes painted on their silk skins,
and the tableaux of piping shepherds or
dancing nymphs is then framed in a circu-
lar or oblong wreath of lace. Extrava-
gantly pretty are the ribbon sunshades.
For these the ribbons are herring boued
together with gilt or silver thread and the
ends OF each strip of gay SILK hnished IN
a point, to which light gilt ferret is at
tached. When the sunshade is open these
fringe the bottom of the silken dome and
tinkle together like pagoda bells. When
the sunshade is closed they form q jew
eled necklace at the base of the handle.
Another highly approved parasol is
made of gold or silver tissue drawn over
a colored silk foundation. and yet an
other and distinctly brilliant example IS
of white louisne brilliante, mounted on
a stick of silver gilt and ornamented on
