who is her pensioner and who IS said
20 have more influence with this petted
millionairess than any one else. Nurse and
mistress are frequently seen IN the vi
cinity OF the Townsend palace walking
together and as often as not Mathilde's
arm is linked IN that Of the good old
woman who brought her up.
Those who knew Miss Townsend as a
child recall a pink-cheeked, bright-eyed.
curly-pated blond, a graceful dancing
eli OF a baby. and she was. as a young
girl. gay and insouciant. but in later
years her face has become graver. more
reserved in expression, splrituelle. but
none the less beautiful. She dresses ex-
tremely simple and IN excellent taste.
ana rarely affects the Jewels OF which she

ROOSEVELTS MAY MAKE

1t IS an open secret that when Mr..
Roosevelt has surrendered his Office and
quit his foreign wanderings he will make
his home in New York. following In the
footsteps of many Of his distinguished
predecessors. beginning with Washing
ton. whose first official residence was in
the Osgood mousse. in the Franklin Square
Of that day. Later he lived in Broadway.
in house belonging 70 Alexander Nc
Comb. which was said 20 be the finest
house in America at that period.
John Adams. when he was Vice Presi-
dent. lived on Richmond Hin in the house
subsequently, occupied by Aaron Burr.
whence he went forth 70 kill Alexander
Hamilton. This historic mansion after
ward became the property Of the founder
Of the house OF Astor. Adams had as
little use FOR New York as has the aver
age Bostonian for the Gotham Of our day.
and complained that no agreeable con-
versation could be had there; that there
was no modesty and no attention OF one
TO another
Jefferson lived nearly a year in New
York when he was Secretary Of state
but he vas but little better pleased with
IT than was Adams. The place was not
radical enough 70 suit this ardent Demo-
crat and he felt that its people were stnI
In sympathy with monarchical instltu-
tons. Madison. Monroe. and John Quincy
Adams all resided in New York. and
Martin Van Buren gained his legal edu-
cation there IN the Office OF William p
Van Ness.
In our own times Gen. Grant passed the
saddcst, most tragic days OF his life In
the great metropolis. Il was there he be
gan and finished his life story: Il was
there he met the greatest defeat OF his
