The Rev. Sam Jones, the noted GEE
orgia revivalist preacher, is at all times
very personal in his speech. On one
occasion he had taken for his text
Vanity" and for Illustration and NOR
al said
"Now, if there is a woman in the
congregation this morning who didn't
look into the mirror before coming to
the meeting, I want to see her; 1 want
her to stand up"
A single woman arose and stood. She
was very homely The Rev. Mr.. Jones
rested his eyes upon her
well, God bless you, sister," he said
1T certainly is a pity you didn't"

No women in the United States are
Of more interest than those of John d.
Rockefeller's family, who have just
been getting acquainted with the cam
era. The Rockefeller aversion to pub
licity is not confined to the head of
the family. 1t is equally strong in
Mrs John d. Rockefeller, Mrs. John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., the wife of her son;
Mrs. e. Parmelee Prentice and Mrs.
of the Standard Oil Company.
Mrs. Rockefeller makes no secret of
the fact that she went for fifty years
without having a picture taken. A
lovable, gentle Christian woman, a
devoted wife and mother, she has TAX
en- the position that is now getting a
bit old-fashioned, but seems pretty
good doctrine, Anyway that a wo-
mans place is in her home circle, and
the more rarely she goes out of 1t the
better both for herself and her loved
ones.
In all the thousand and one stories
that have been written about the Oil
King, it is a significant fact that there
have been no pictures of his wife.
The wealth that has made Rockefel-
Ter hated and feared by many means
little to his wife. She makes little
point of wealth, spends little, not be-
cause she is mean, but because money
means little to her. She refuses to ac-
cept the dazzling social position that
could not be denied to the wife of the
man who possesses more than any of
his fellows, OF that which is the very
Teller is better cut out for almost any
other position in life than the one fate,
by one of it's strangest vagaries, has
adopted for her.
Mrs. Rockefeller's moss marked trait
is her domesticity. Although she has
half a dozen residences, she counts
Cleveland her home, and is never so
happy as when there. The climate of
Tarrytown, where is located the man
sion "Pocantico Hills" does not agree
with her, and she has been there so
seldom that no one in the vicinity
knows even what she looks like.
Mrs. Rockefeller is So years old, but
does not look her years. She is short
and rather plump. Her hair is dark,
and her brown eyes are full of life and
fire. She is we'll read and among the
close circle of relatives and friends
who have come into her life she is
held in deepest love and admiration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefeller have had
four children.
One of these, the son, John D. Jr.,
! is almost as well known as his father,
and apparently inherits many of his
characteristics. The other three are
girls. Bessie Alta and Edith. To the
rearing of this quartet, Mrs. Rookie
/ Teller has devoted her life, ana no APP
/ peal of society ever sufficed to win her
away from them.
