when no charges had been preferred.

There were two things about Rebeccs
Gratz that must ever make her an inter
esting figure to all women. First, and
| most important, was that she gave almost
| her entire life over to charitable work,
and. second. that she was so interesting a
| character and impressed Washington
| Irving SO forcibly with that fact that he
spoke of her to Sir Walter Scott, and the
Scottish novelist made her the heroine
| of his novel. "Ivanhoe."
Rebecca Gratz was born in Philadelphia
and lived in Philadelphia all her life.
Her father was a prominent merchant.
She received a liberal education and soon
became conspicuous among her people
for her learning, beauty, social accom-
plishments. and her interest in religious.
educational, and charitable enterprises.
Although the greater part of her time and
energy was devoted to the welfare Of her
people. yet she labored with zeal for the
uplift Of the poor and afflicted wherever
she found them.
Her first work was as secretary of the
Female Association for the Relief OF
Women and Children in Reduced Circum-
stances, and she held that position for
many years. In 1915 was founded the
Philadelphia Orphan Asylum. principally
through her instrumentality, and she was
secretary of that institution for forty
years. She also assisted in founding
many other very excellent charities in
Philadelphia.
Rebecca Gratz was modest, dignified.
and devout and had a largo and select
Circle of friends and admirers among all
classes. She was not only beautiful, but
was a charming conversationalist. 1t is
said that Henry Clay, the American
salesman, paid her marked attention,
but although loved by a worthy man, she
put from her heart all thoughts of mar
riage and unselnshly devoted her time
and attention to benevolent purposes.
