AMERICAS MOST
 NOTABLE WOMAN Uncle Sam Courts Mrs. Hack"
 Gardner HE WANTS HER MONEY She Has Lately Been Put Into a Book. How She Has Tanned Lions and Helped Struggling
 Musicians.
HE WANTS HER MONEY

Boston, October 31.-(Special)- )-Some- body in Boston is always putting some- body else into a book. When Hawthorne wrote Blithedale Romance everybody rec ognized that, though he was not a realist in the modern sense of the word, he had definite persons in mind-members of the queer little colony of socialists who made Brook Farm famous in the annals of American literary history. The genial 'Autocrat' delighted in little personal touches. When William Dean Howells was still a Bostonian he wrote a series of novels in which there was no doubt as to local colcr. Only a short time ago The Opal by anonymous author, as- tonished society in the Hub and the me- tropolis by a recital of episodes known actually to have taken place.
 And now Mrs. John l.. Gardner, Mrs. Jack as she is more usually called, the wealthy Boston art collector, whose name has rightly or wrongly become associated with deeds extraordinary, fantastic and unexpected, has been featured, though in minor role, in a literary production. Mrs. H. A Mitchell Keays, d western writer, author of "rrhe Road 10 Damas- cus,'' "He That Eateth Bread With Me- and other works, who has beea living in the precincts of Harvard university for

that Mrs Gardner had bought a Jap anese kimono over his wife's head at an auction sae and the citizen of Chicago recalled that she was a woman who had a fine feeling for music and a liberal purse opened frequently to the needs of impecunious performers.
 Each had remembered a single fact or incident about personality that has im- pressed itself upon the public as few women have been able. Since Isabella Stuart of the fine New York family was married to one of the wealthiest and most aristoeratic of Bostonians she has con- sistently lived up to a reputation for doing remarkable things. The Gotham ites recollection of her lion tanning was due to the circumstance of her borrowing a good-sized cub-she never actually owned it as some newspaper stated which had been on exhibition in an ami mah show. It Is a fact that for some days the animal was installed in the Gardner mansion where he ran things, including the servants, pretty much as he pleased, and according to rumor, ran some of them so far that they never re- turned to the mansion. The creature was merely an exuberant little romperi like any other kitten, but servants and neigh bors failed to appreciate the fun. When, however, the newspapers discovered what Mrs Gardner was doing the incidents of her playful gamboling with his youthful majesty naturally made, good copy.
 Apart from such occasional feats as lion tanning, Mrs Gardner has been distin- guished for many years for her patronage of struggling musicians, painters and sculptors. She was largely responsible, it is understood, for the social prominence of Timothee Adamowski, for many years one of the chief performers of the Boston Symphony orchestra and now one of the most celebrated private teachers in Amer ica and of George Proctor, the pianist. In Giosue Zingali, a needy Italian sculptor of the North End, she once found man capable of doing better than ordinary commercial work and made it possible for him to get his start in life. Once at a South End theatre she noticed a musi- elan cheaply attired and evidently poorly paid whose performance was such that he seemed capable of higher things. On inquiry she discovered that this man had written music but that he had no money to pay for printing 1t or setting it up. Through her help he became successful teacher and recipient of royalties on many successful compositions.
 At her famous Italian gardens at Green Hill, a suburb of Boston, Mrs. Gardner has frequently had on her pay roll a mum Der of educated young men. Persons

Gardner, who was quietly passing through the room overheard, and interrupting the young men whom she did not suspect of being reporters explained that both were wrong. She then proceeded to give them detailed information not only about the work in question but about many other features of her collection-all of which information appeared in the form of in- terviews in the morning papers.
 Considering the prominence Mrs. Gard ner has enjoyed not only in Boston but throughout the United States it is rather remarkable that she has not figured in contemporary fiction more extensively than has been the case. Even in Mrs. Keays book she is simply introduced as
