BEAUTIFUL IN OLD AGE

:; London-Nothing in the way Of
America s wholesale absorption of the
worlds art treasures has SO annoyed
England as the fact that J. Pierpont
Morgan owns Sir Thomas Lawrence 8
portrait of the beautiful Miss Croker.
The possession by foreigner of
this masterpiece has always been
regretted, but . the regret was es-
pecially emphasized on the death,
which has Il. just occurred, Of tho
Dowager Lady Barrow-who was Miss
Croker-when England s loss of the
Lawrence was actually characterized as
a national calamity.
Lady Barrow whene she died was in
her 9th year, and those who 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 Beauti-
full 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 a
beauty in the reigns Of FIVE English
monarchs, was belle of the regency
reigning toast in the gallant days OF
George ", was presented at court
when William Nv. was king was q
favorite all thru the Victorian era, and
a beloved old lady in the reign OF
Edward VII. -. n ..
Despite all this record as a belle an6
beauty. Miss Croker had no more van

sally talked about, she made vow
and kept it-not to look in mirror
for two years. AS Lady Barrow, sht
was not only a grande dame, but wa

sincerely mourned by the poor as wei
as by members of her own admirins

HAIR AND THE "DRUMMER"
Creator Of the "Ingenue Mop Coming
After More American Dollars
METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE

Cleo de Merode, whose well-adver-
tised visit to this country few years
ago, which preceded her appearance on
the stage in New York. making her
ephermerally noted, is about to perpe-
trate another dash into publicity on
this side of the Atlantic. She has not
yet engaged her press agent, and the
coupling Of her name with that of the
King of Belgium is no longer an inter
esting nor a popular item of news. And
so one is led to speculate upon the
course to be pursued to make her sui
fciently conspicuous and sound as an
investment for the American theatrical
manager who is daring enough to try to
revive an interest in this petite Pari-
sienne.
1t should be enough for one woman
even a French woman-to have origi-
mated and popularized new style of
hairdressing. Doubtless in the far fu-
ture, if her name is recalled at all.
Mile. Merode will be remembered as
the creator of the 'Eingenue mop"
which for a time held the favor of the
feminine population in a grip equaled
ionly by the Marcel wave that is now
ripping over the locks of all civilized
womankind that has access to hair
dressing shops.
