Mrs. Belmont. az the time, was
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Sr..
and when "Tessie" introduced
her younger sister, Virginia, to
Newport society. it wasn't long
before the gossips were predict
ing that Virginia. who had been
nicknamed Birdie, would marry
Mrs. Vanderbilt's son, William
X. Vanderbilt Jr.
During those years. Hermann
Oelrichs was connected, in an
executive capacity, with the
North German Lloyd shipping
interests, and a son. named for
his father, had been born TO the
Oelrichses.
But, Just as her mother before
her had not found eternal hap
piness with Jim" Fair, "Tessie"
also discovered that Hermann
Oelrichs was far from the ideal
mate. -

Riches and Women

Jim" Fair died in December,
1894, leaving a large estate and
a number of women. young and
old, who claimed to be his wife.
Scandals in Jim" Fairs life
were brought out into the open
when a San Francisco school
mistress. a Mrs. Nellie Craven,
appeared in court claiming
widows share" of "Jim's" mil

Nellie testified she had lived
with Jim" for 20 years, and
divulged many secrets the

have preferred not to have had

Whispering tongues

No longer were bizarre fetes
given at "Rosecliff." Vague
whispers were heard that the
rareN of vintage wines managed
to find their way to the back
door of "Rosecliff," despite the
ever alert eyes of prohibition
officers.
Soon word went forth in town
and along Bellevue avenue. that
"Tessie" Oelrichs was sadly and
strangely i'll. Some said she was
suffering from cancer, others
attributed her illness to heart
failure.
All social activity at Rose
cliff" came to a halt. In place
of chattering azure-blooded and
bejeweled guests, nurses in
stiff1y starched uniforms hur-
ried softly through the marble
halls.

For, from the grimy, red

suddenly lifted up from one
height of aff1uence to another
until he was one of the Vests
wealthiest men.
His education. however, never
kept pace with his material
progress.
In his prospecting days out in
Virginia City, New, Jim" Fair
took for his wife the humbly-
born young miss who became
the mother Of his four children
two sons and two daughters.
One son died young, the other
lost his life in an automobile
accident in France. and the two
daughters who were destined to
become dominant factors in

"Rosecliff" had once belonged

what was known as the finest
rose garden in all New England.
Like all early Newport houses.
"RoSecliff' was unpretentious,
and after Bancroft's death Mrs.

one Of the most sumptuous of all
Newport homes.
The Petit Trianon was

Her end. in striking contrast
to her glorious, glittering social

Akin to Prison

As one strolled along New
ports Cliff Walk and mentally
reviewed the eventful social
career of the woman who lived
on the other side of those barred
windows, it seemed the irony of
fate that the palace she erected
as a setting for her social
triumphs should become some
thing akin to a prison for her.
The months rolled into years.
and news Of Mrs. Oelrichs' con-
dition ceased to be news"
On Nov. %, 1926, "Tessie"
Oelrichs breathed her last at
"RoSecliff." Her sister. Birdie
Fair Vanderbilt, was abroad at
the time, and the men and
women who had first snubbed
her and then hailed her as
social cZarina were away from
Newport-the season" having
ended.
It was indeed, a tragic end
for a woman who had won
social fame and glory via her
fortune and her wit.
"Tessie' Oelrichs left Rose
cliff" to her son. Hermann; but
he did NOT inherit his late
mothers flair for society. Her
mann has always been more in
terested in the intelllgentsia
and his hobby for presudigita-
ton than in Mayfair. and several
Summers he did not even bother
to open "Rosecliff." During
those seasons when he and his
wife were in residence, Rose
cliff" was conducted on a Tight
housekeeping" basis. minus the
swank and elegance Of other
days. And / suspect he was
only waiting for the day when
he could find a customer for
the great marble mansion where
so much social history was
made.

Heartbroken, Mrs. Jim" Fair
obtained a divorce. a settlement
of $4.000,0O0 and custody Of her
two daughters.
Anxious TO place the sad
memories OF San Francisco be-

New York, bringing her elder
daughter, "Tessie' Fair, with
her.
Arrived In the eastern me-
tropolis. Mrs. Fair and "Tessie'
set up headquarters at the old
