Belle of NeuU York;s '7O's
To Haze Guardian

Q East Fifty-fourth st., examined
Mrs. Wood on July 2 and 7 and,
in an affidavit offered in court
with her nephew's application he
declared her to be suffering from
sions of persecution.
He found that her sight and
hearing we're impaired, and that
the scanty meals of milk and eggs
which she prepared for herself
should be supplanted by a pre-
scribed diet.
All of the '70s
Until recent years Mrs. Wood
thought nothing of packing up
her trunks and sailing for Europe.
She lived in the grand manner but
in the Victorian tradition, and her
clothes we're such as would have
graced the '70's and '80's. There
always was something lively about
her attire-a bright blue or a bit
of lace-until she took to staying
indoors and living entirely in the
past,

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Otis F.
Wood, son Of Fernando Wood,
who was mayor of New York from
1855 to 1850. made application in
the Supreme Court to have his
aunt, Mrs. Benjamin Wood, de-
clared incompetent.
Sitting among the Victorian
relics and living the secluded life
of the famous Wendell sisters,
Mrs. Wood, at SO, is completely
shut off from human association
and will let no one attend to her
wants.
A belle from New orleans, she
swept across the social horizon Of
New York in the SOS and '70's
with bright plumage and a fragile
beauty that made her remarkable
even in the parasol age.
Danced With Edward VII
She danced with the late King
Edward VII when he visited this
country as the Prince of Wales,
and dined at the home Of her
brOther.in.law, the mayor, in the
family residence on the Blooming.
dale Road. She was one Of the
bellies who attended the ball given
for the prince at the Academy of
physical hallucinations and delu.
Music.
Mrs. Wood never has been able
to forget her past. To this day
she has her ball programs, valen.
tines which fluttered her heart
when she was 19, pictures of the
political figures of New York in
the mid-Victorian age, and mem.
cries which have put her out Of

ment.
Has HalIucinatiOnS
She lives in the Herald Square
Hotel and has refused to go out
for several years: yet. used to
ruling and still imperious in her
manner, she has kept tight rein
on her affairs.
According to her nephew's ap-
plication, she refuses to have any
one attend to her physical, mental
or financial needs. She has lived
in entire solitude since March S,
when her sister, Miss Mary E.
Mayfield. died.

IS LONESOME

The Governor" is lonesome.
Once the pet of Mrs. Clifford
Pinchot, wife of the Governor
of Pennsylvania, the giant Abe
marie tortoise now makes his
home in the tortoise cage in the
reptile house at the National
Geological Park. Its keepers say
he misses his former friends.
The tortoise, which weighs
over 100 pounds. is a representa-
tive of a fast dying species. Once
his kind wandered over the Albe-
marie Islands in Galapagos in
vast numbers, but now they are
almost extinct. This particular
tortoise was captured by the
Pinchots on their voyage several
years ago and is one Of three
now in captivity at the local ZOO.
According to Head Keeper Will
liam Blackburn the Abelmarle
tortoises live indefinitely" Says
Mr.. Blackburn:
"AlI three of ours are well
over 100 years old. In fact,
the creatures never die unless
they are converted into SOUP"

feminine visitors. They believe
he is constantly on the lookout

YOUNG RUSSIANS
 SEEKING WIVES

Peiping-(UP)-Thousands of Russian girls in Harbin, White Rus sian capital of the Far East, have been excited by appeals for wives printed in Russian newspapers there.
 The appeals come from young Russians settled in Australia, who say they are making enough to support wives, but can find no girls in that part of the world.
 As the shortage of men in Har- bin is just as acute, the girls are hastening to reply. It is estimated that 10000 girls and women in Harbin cannot find husbands there
 The business depression has struck Harbin with especial force, because of the destriction of the soy bean market, upon which Har- bin depends for trade, and the exo- dus of Russian girls from the city has been accelerated.
 The cabarets of Shanghai, Teint- sin, Peiging, Hongkong and other cities in China are drawing girls from Harbin, but many have stayed in Harbin as long as possible, be- cause the atmosphere there, they believe, is more nearly like old Russina than that of any other city today.
