SOCIAL GOSSIP.

The London cables have brought to
light the charming romance In the his
tory of the beautiful Miss Croker, who
at the time of her death was Lady Bar
row, one of the grand DANES of England.
Nothing, says the cable, in the way OF
Americas wholesale absorption of the
worlds art treasures has so annoyed
England as the fact that ]. Pierpont
Morgan owns Sir Thomas Lawrence's por-
trait of the beautiful Miss Croker. The
possession by foreigner of this master
piece has always been regretted. but the
regret was especially emphasized on the
death, which has just occurred. of the
Dowager Lady Barrow-who was Miss
Croker-when England's loss of the Law
renee was actually characterized as a ma
tional calamity
Lady Barrow when she died was in her
ninety-seventh year, and those who have
had the opportunity of comparing the
charming old lady with the copies OF Sir
Thomas painting of the young original
declare that while there is no doubt the
latter well deserved the title of the Beau
tiful Miss Croker, there is equally no
doubt that the former was the Lovely
Lady Barrow
Lady Barrow's record of lasting beauty
is unparalleled. She lived beauty in the
reigns of five English monarchs. was
belle of the regency, a reigning toast in
the gallant days of George ~, was pre-
scented at court when William ". was
King, was a favorite all through the Vic
torian era, and beloved old lady in the
reign of Edward VII.
Despite all this record as belle and
beauty Miss Croker had no more vanity
than a child, and 1t Is on record that at
the very time her loneliness, was univer-
sally talked about she made a vow-and
kept it-not to look in a mirror for two
years. As Lady Barrow, she was not
only a grande dame. but was most
benevolent woman, and will be sincerely
mourned by the poor as well as by men,
bers of her own admiring circle.

Mercy home nursery and the members
we're most interested in hearing OF the
hospital. the need of which has been SO
great. especially at those periods when
contagious diseases have appeared among
the Mercy home children.
Mrs. Spencer referred to these epidem-
les which had from time to time caused
such inconvenience and suffering. Last
spring alone there were twenty-seven
cases of measles at the home. 1t was
impossible to isolate the children, ana
when scarlet fever made its appearance
a hospital for contagious cases became
such a necessity that steps were at once
taken to build and equip it,
Mrs Spencer expressed the gratlhca-
ton that the board felt in the compile
ton of the hospital, two-story oulldlng'
which has been erected on the Mercy
home property, corner of Eleventh ave
nue. and Twenty street, north. The
president of the Creche also expressed
for the organization the relief felt by
each member at the provision made Dur
ing these periods at the home when the
children should have been Isolated II mas
caused long absences from school, and as
the Creche is particularly interested In
the children of school age, the members
feel that this serious loss from school that
has occurred in the past will not again
occur. The hospital has been erected by
means of a fund raised last summer for
this purpose.
Mrs. Spencer, whose talks are always
so helpful to the Creche, came to the
meeting yesterday directly at the conclu-
sion of the Smith memorial exercises held
in the Frances Willard memorial room at
the home Impressive exercises were held
