GREAT EMO FORTUNE
AND ITS POssEssoRs.
| I think these Southern balls am
absolutely the only ones at which
Arrs. Charles Boughton Wood doef
not have a box Cyes, she Is a North
ernerD She is a remarkable per
son; Is constantly on the go and
always has such a good time. though
no longer exactly young. She Wra
Miss Emo, and has plenty OF thu
worlds goods.
By the natural evolution Of thrin
and enterprise two generations agc
the great Emo fortune was made and
the present generation Of Enos are
important society factors in both New
York and Washington society today.
An elderly person with a long men,
DRY told me recently that until ISa
no members Of the Emo family were
known in either city either in or out
Of society. for il was about that
time Amos r. Emo emigrated from
Simsbury. Conn. CWhere he was born
in 1910. TO New York City, in an
enoeavor to make his fortune he
succeeded beyond even his widest
dreams
Amos r. Emo was a Yankee through
and through He had the New Eng

some years later he had amassed q

son Of Salmon Emo. and a nephew Of
Gen. Roger Emo. who was one of the

funds Of the Second National Bank
of this city by one Of his sons. the
late John c. Emo. The amount was
quite large. and Mr.. Emo paid the
bank more than SB.OoO.OOO to make
good his sons accounts.
The Enos trace their ancestry On
this country back TO 1851. when James
Emo emigrated from England and es-
tsblished his pied-a-terre in Sonnec-
ticut He had many descendants,
having married. believe. three times.
COUSINS FIGHT HARD
FOR THEIR START.
When Amos p Emo decided New
York was the place for him he
persuaded his cousin. !. J. Phelps,
to go on there with him On their
arrival in that city they started IN
the dry goods business in a tiny
room down in Exchange place. Hav-
ing little capital. the cousins has
a hard time at first. but both were
shrewd young men. and IL was not
long before the business expanded.
Then came the fire of 1885 and
their establishment was swept
away in the conflaCration. But
they were not downcast by this
