ROCKEFELLER'S PRETTY WIFE How She Attired Her Magnate Hus- band For a Trying Ordeal. THE WINTER'S DISSIPATION. A Study For a Caricaturist—A Plece of Social News—The Art of Din- ing — Wealthy Women of Society. NEW YoRrg, March 2.—Correspond- ence of the BEE: It 18 unlikely thata wife ever makes a more careful toilet than the one she wears at her husband’s funeral. That is to say, her poignant grief does not make her forget that she is going to be an object of scrutiny, and her feminine instinct impels her to dress carefully. Moreover, she will usually see to it that her live husband 48 suitably costumed for occasions of interest. John D. Rockefeller, the @reat and growing millionaire of the Btandard Oil company, is seldom eeen or talked about socially. He has been telling a commit- tee of New York law-makers, as you have heard, what he knows about trusts, and so ]mu brought himself into unusual public notice. The first day on which he testified, a mutual friend tells me, he was found at his office in the Btandard building, where he was earn- ing his 8100 a day as president of the trust, and counting up many more hun- dreds that come tumbling into his cof- fers from his multitudinous investments. He left his desk and went at once to the investigation. He had ou a plain brown cutaway suit and a derby hat. Heisa man of medium stature and slightly built. His hair is dark brown, with here and there a suspicion of gray- ness. He wears no other beard than a light, immature mustache., He looks at one gravely from his blue eyes, and all his mannerisms are murked by reserve, and he seems to nave no regard whatever for his clothes. His testimony was not com- pleted on the first day of his appearance and when he told his wife that he was 10 be called on the duy following, she insisted that he put on better Lfillhfls. The coat which he obediently donned was a dark blue diagonal, in the Prince Albert style, and the trousers were of eomber gray with black stripes, with the creases of newness still in them. His modes* derby had given waytoa tall silk hat. It was such an outfit as he would wear to church, or to an after- noon reception, and the law making in- vestigators, no ‘doubt felt duly honored by the sight of it.

On several of these annual oc- casions the late William H. Vanderbilt looked in on the orgies and seemed to be amused by them. At all events he never declined to take the $1,200 rent money paid for the single night’s occu- pation of the premises and enough pre- vious time for preparation. But when the present generation of Vanderbilts got the estate and Cornelius Vander- bilt became the business head of the house, he ordered the doors shut aganst all masquerades, although he does not object to walking matches and other athletic shows. The acutely swell directors of the Metropolitan opera house, however, have this year rented out that establishment to all the ball people who wanted it and could pay the price. What 1 saw there yesterday was & sequence -of the Frent French masquerade Not only had the orchestra seats and the e been floored over for the dancers and the supper rooms given up to hila- rious traffic in wine and viands, but the hundred private boxes, sacred to owner- ship by the nobs of our best society, were sold for the night to the worst angs that ever had the money to spend n costly drunkenness and indecency. Each of these boxes has a little ante- room behind,and some of ihese are deli- cately fitted up with draperies and fur- niture. These adornments were taken out for #e occasion as far as possible, and what remained was covered with muslin to save it from the grime and splash of an amateur bar-room. These tiny parlors of the rich and pretentious, became, for the time being, the dens of v\hmumnt vice, descriptions of which, in u.gumul way, have reached you in print. A study for a caricaturist or a nove- list was the behavior of men and women under masked conditions at the Cercle de I’ Harmonie masquerade. Your typical man, be he upper ten or one of the million, has one ‘way of behaving; your typical woman of any grade you choose has another and perfectly dis- tinet wi Tam 1ot referring to the conduct in a masquerade march, but to that infinitely repeated incident’ where a person with a mask on approachesone who is undisguised and slaps him, or her, familiarly on tha back,or calls Imn, or hur, by a pnt nickname; and then waits forrecognition. When a man is approached thus by a masker, he invar- iably smiles in a superior way,as much as to say: “HAVE YOUR FUN, OLD BOY (or ola girl). I know you—you can’t fool me,” and all the time the masker is fooling him completely. After a time, when the situation "grows irritating, the masker discloses his or her ideutity, and the man in the case lavghs leebly as if he enjoyed it all-—which be doesn’t by sev- eral long shots, *But in the case of a woman under similar circumstances,the case is radically and sensibly different. The woman approached by a masker, never smiles in a familiar, good natured way. fil)e looks coldly 'at the m k wearer, frowns a bit, stares at cleaming eves, and then takes a moder~ 14, fu l)el on\s eomprchenli\'o |urvey of ‘the entire coatume and the works to a charm; for the masker Knn-- not endure the v,hought that the friend is mentally a saying, “‘what a fright!” and hnmedh\tal_y discloses his or her personality.

A PIECE OF SOCIAL NEWS is that Mrs. Hicks-Lord, famous here as the comparatively youlhlul and very handsome widow of an aged milli aire, and celebrated for great entertain- ments in her Washington square man- sion, has rented a house in Washington and is going to show the peo?la of the capital how well she can give recep- tions, balls and dinners. There will at least be something of novelty in her Washington hospitality, because it will have no furtive object. She has no rel- atives in federal office, or who are after he is not the lobbyist for any hobby, and she will simply try to distinguish herself by expensive and resplendant assemblages, 80 look out for a social coruscation in Washing- ton. De Quincy is acknowledged by bon- vivants to have been the authority, in days gone by, upon the art of duung, and even our own Sam Ward, of blessed memory, was wont to uncover at men- twn of his name, De Quincy once said: “In proportion as ‘our dinner has ad- vanced toward evening, have weand have that advanced in circumstances of elegance and taste, of intellectual value.” ~What a precious secret is in- volved in this sentence! Does anyone suppose for a moment that either of New York’s after-dinner stars—Depew, Ingersoll, Dougherty, or the rest—if called upon to set & barren table in a roarat 4 in the afternoon, just after h-numf his office, would acquit himself decently? If he attempted it he’d make a fool nl himself; but he wouldn’t be fool enough to uttum;n it. He musvdine before his tongue will trip l|gb11i3 tothe music of his mind. Some cay the laws of hygeine and the mystery of a healthy digestion will be better understood than they are now, and then a man will be regarded as a heathen for dining before sundown, For instance, the connection between mind and stomach is wonder- fully close, of course. You can't di- gest d hearty dinner proverly unless the brain is enjoying comparative relaxa- tion—and this it can’t get in business hours. 1t is for this reason that many of the best writers on matters gastronomic take pains to discourage long after din- ner speeches at publio banquets, or ceches which deal with po llus or philosophy or any subject calling for duu thought. To be sure, clever gen- tlemen will often, under these circum- stances, tackle an abstruse toj and for half an - hour hu learned sentences at their suf- fering companions; butitis dueto ig- norance,and the wear and tear on them- selves is enormous, The wise man— taking Chuuncey M. Depew, for in- stance—is he, who, possessing talents of which he is complete master, remains the philosopher or the man of affairs during the day, and on a light stomach; and at nlght leaving care at his desk or deep thought in his library, fills his stomach to repletion, gives digestion a change, anlu&;; ades In - for wl% ?fi merriment. 1t's the same man a e same brain, but what a different they preaenl. Deep thought an dergus sentences do not mix well with a good dinner, and the man of genius wno appreciates this 15 beund to Tive longe than his friend who doesn't, especially if they are both Invaterate diners out.

The latest ‘fad” among WEALTHY WOMEN OF SOCIETY is a curious one, ana I see evidence of it among the shoppm promenaders, It is nothing less than the collection of unmounted diamonds. The extent to which this craze has already been carried is amazing—and the deal- ers in gems are all smiles in consequence. The statement would seem almost incredible, were it not for the notorious fagct that a major- 1ty of women have long been accus- tomed to leave veny valuable diamonds at home and wear in public places imi- tations of small cost. Doubtless this led thenew scheme—for if one owns fine gems, why not display them in some manner? It is said that Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, when she sailed away in the Alva on'a yachting tour of the globe, left behind her one of the best collections of small unmounted diamonds in the city; but it will be excclled ere she returns. -In afternoon calls and 5 o’clock teas a new and fascinating topic is thus afforded and notes compared. The diamonds are generally arranged in little nmests of cotton wnich are mude i _elabgrate boxes of inlaid woods, and placed” where the hostess may keup an eye upon them—or a ser- vant is constantly on guard. A lady owning such a collection, made an ex- tremely frank avewal the other day, said she: “*Why, every woman who can afford it indulges the hobby. The diamonds are frequently bought on a guarantee that the jeweler will take them back on rtain per centage of the cost; and I think they are better than and bonds @s an investment, be- cause their value doesn’t fluctuate to any great extent.” 1t {s oven said that ladies doa little quiet trading in- the precious stones, when each is convinced that she is get- ting the better of the other. To get an idea of how many voung girls go in for pmnting one should visit the Metropolitan Museum of art. On two days in a week a large number of them can be found in Lho picture gal- leries muking copies of famous paint- ings theve, fi'nuy seem strange that few of them,so far as the writer has been able to obwr\'e look at all like ar- tists. Many of them are pretty, and some the reverss, but they are in no way dnflzrr.,l i appearance from the curious neighbers who gaze at them with uslmnsfiment Yet they are near- ly all professional painters, and as such might be expected to have disti 'guish- ing traits to mark them apart from the non-professionak of tneirsex. It is a rule of the museum to allow none but competent artists to make copies of the paintings, and the girls must first obtain the recommenda- tion of a trustee, or a well known ar- tist, before they ean get the permission, It 18 therefore fair ‘o Freeux e that those seen at work rank h! found them in every gallery, and two of them were evon at work before the pastels in the corridors. Some were using water colors, and some easel palette rod and ruhn. case along., They were the cen- ers of interest to the erowd.

Each stroke of brush or pencil was calmly considered by the ecritics who peered over her shoulder. In most in- stances the girl seemed accustomed to this impertinence, andonly a slight ele- vation of the eyebrows, at times, showed that she was annoyed. Butin one corner I found A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN to whom this xperience was evidently new. She was copying a pretty little landscape in oil, and the quick certain strokes of her brush showed that was no novice. Her work was progress ing with remarkable swiftness. Her position in this out-of-the-way spot had thus far given immunity from intrusion, but it was not tolastlong. She was neatly and tastefully dressed and had as trim a figure, and as finely chiselled features as could be found in all the efforts of the masters that hang upon the walls. I watched her as I sawa clerical looking man and two expen- sively dressed women approaching. They took up their position behind her, and the long faced man began to point out to his companions what he considered the defects in her work. Pointing a long bony finger: over her shouldor he made a series of depreciat- ing remarks. *'Really, very poor,” he said; “now just notice how that grass is pamtod. I do not pretend to any remarkable skill with the brush, but, you know, I could do better with my eyes closed,I sol- emnly believed.” There was no attempt on_the old fel- low’s part to lower his voice. I could see the blood mount in the cheeks of the fair girl, and the tears start in her eyes, She was completely crushed, and further work was impossible for her. She shot one indignant glance at her critic, which made him cringe, and then she packed up her things and went away. Many of the young women go there to paint pictures to order for wealthy per- sons who have taken a fancy to some of the masterpieces, and lmm\m" that they cannot obtain the originuls, are desirous of securing good copies. Oth- ers,not well enough known to have secured orders from wealthy customers, honu to attract attention l)‘) their worl k in the gulleries, and one of the trustees informed me that this practice has met with remarkable success. Art patrons desirous of assisting struggling artists, make it a point to give employment to such of the girls as show ability, A fuir, blue-eyed creature was pointed out tome as one of the most successful, She was copying a Grecidn seashore, and seemed amused by the remarks of the crowd at her elbows. Occasionally 4 mischievous twinkle in .her eyes showed a desire to get even with her tormentors. Recently she received $500 from a wealthy New Yorker, who was attracted by a copy she had made, and which he had first seen while vis- ing the gallery, In no. other way, prubnhlv could these industrious women wttract the attention ol the public so s pecaily as at this museum, and while, lerc[[n'e wne presence of ill behxued crowds is annoyiug; the other advant- agesare sufficient to overcome his ob- jection.
