V X "V v. 1 1 lllill I MRS. STUTTESANT FISH. AMERICA'S LEADING SOCTAI, PERSONAGE. Thii remarkable woman, m'no la now the center of Interest In Newport, haa a atrons aversion to having her picture ta ken, and goea to extreme lengtha to baffle snapshot artlsta. It was by the sheerest good luck that this photograph was recently aecured, all unknown to the subject. The ordinary photograph of Mrs. Fish shows her aa ahe ras years ago. MRS. STCTVESANT FISH is this Summer, as usual, the leading society personage In America. Here Is a photogTaph that shows her as she Is today. It is a veritable "human documen-t." It was by the sheerest luck that it was' secured. Mrs. Fish is un doubtededly the hardest prominent woman in America to photograph. She Is con tinually on her guard against the snapshot man especially, and she does not hesitate to go extreme lengths to baffle him. Owing: to this dislike on her part, the ordinary photographs of Mrs. Fish that have been doing duty show her as she was years ago. Mrs. Fish enjoys the distinction of being the leading society personage in America, largely because of the fact that she has given more novel,' not to say bizarre, so cial "functions" than any other person In or beyond the pale of the so-called Four Hundred. She is the original entertainer, par ex cellence, of the Newport Summer colony. Whatever , she does makes that Jaded coterie of multimillionaire families sit up and display decided interest. Incidentally, the same effect Is noticeable pretty gen erally throughout the country. Mrs. Fish's Fourth of July contribution to -the entertainment of Newport and the gossip of a nation was to have been a bathing-suit dinner, but a downpour of rain caused the plan to be changed, the guests appearing in conventional garb. One of Mrs. Fish's most daring and costly functions was given three years ago. when she hired .the entire "Chinese Honeymoon" company to provide fun for her guests, assembled in her Newport cot tage. This happened on' St. "Valentlpe's day, and was the talk of the socially elect for months, so successfully did she sur prise them out of their state of real and assumed ennui. . Among Mrs. Fish's earlier social suc cesses was the "umbrella dinner." Each guest sat beneath as costly a shade-piece as the agents of the hostess could pro cure. Another much-talked-of entertain ment has gone down into Newport history as "the night in Japan." So bizarre were some features of this night that many persons In and out of society almost had hysterics over them. Mrs. Fish Is also distinguished among her social associates as a remarkably frank talker. She has dared to call New port a-n3 its moneyed habitues stupid. She haa stigmatized many of the socially elect as being too much engaged in run ning after bearers of title; and she it was who said she understood that Mrs. Roose velt dressed on 1300 a year, and looked it. Mrs. Fish's sayings stir up as much talk as her entertainments. It was Mrs. Kiah who took,, up Harry Lehr and brought him to the fore. Had It not been for her good offices. Mr. Lehr would probably not be a Bteady contribu tor to the silly season gaiety of the coun try. Mrs. Fish has three homes. One In New York City; a second is on the banks of the Hudson, opposite West Point Its name is "Glenclyffe." Her most famous home is her Newport cottage a palace like structure, bearing the title "Cross ways." This Is her favorite house, and here she gives her elaborate entertain ments. Before her marriage, Mrs. Fish was Miss Mary Anthon. Wealth was not then at her beck and call. But her family was an old one and fixed socially. The Fishes have been social lights lnce .Revolution ary days, so that Mrs. Fish is not to be listed among those who have "climbed." I She has done what she has done, not in order to get there socially, but for the pure love of doing them. Let her career be viewed from any standpoint, she appears the most daring and successful xoclal personage of her dav and generation. Mr. Stuyvesant Fish, who is known to the world of transportation and finance) as the president of the Illinois Central Railroad, and to the world of society as Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's husband, cares not a fig for society. One Beneficent, Cheerful Liar Diplomatic Druggist Who Helps Customers by Pretending to Have Their Ills. A PALE, weak girl entered a New York downtown drugstore the other day. She seemed about to col lapse. The proprietor assisted her into a chair and prepared a mild stimu lant for her. The druggist's manner was so sympathetic that a little later she was so sympathetic that a little later she confided to him that she suf fered with her heart and feared she had not much longer to live.. "Heart disease?" inquired the drug gist genially. "Why, I have had heart disease myself have had It for years. That's nothing. I don't worry myself about it I don't look like a man with a load on his mind, do I? You prob ably think that you are liable to drop off any time. On the contrary, -any doctor will tell you that the average person with .heart disease generally lives to a good old age. The very care that a sufferer from heart disease takes of himself or herself is calcu lated to lengthen his years indefinitely. You see, a man with a weak heart naturally is careful of himself a bit, he doesn't commit any excesses, never overdoes anything, lives in modera tion, and thus keeps his vitality unim paired. That's all you have to do, just take care of yourself. What's the use of worrying?" The druggist's cheerfulness was in fectious, the genial interest of his talk made depression appear foolish, and the girl soon began to look more hope ful, and even smiled. After the drug gist had gaily chatted with her awhile she rose and walked out of the store with a firm step. This druggist, though he would scorn the idea if suggested to him. Is a ben efactor to humanity. He is a believer In. the power of cheerfulness, and the good that he does in his peculiar way is not easy to estimate. Not a day passes that he does not Impart his message of the cheerful life to some despairing; individual. Ha makes all others' ailments his own and points out the uselessness of worry. A rrran will come In bent and suffering. Perhaps he confides to the druggist that he has kidney disease and fears his days are numbered. The druggist immediately informs him that there is no cause for alarm, he has had kidney trouble himself for oh! so many years, and has no intention of dropping off. That druggist. In the course of a week, probably will acknowledge that he is afflicted with every ailment except housemaid's knee. He makes every complatner feel better. He fairly ra diates good cheer and optimism. It is his belief that half the sufferers in the world have complaints that bright sprits will overcome. But even when they have a real disease it is his theory that a little cheerfulness doesn't hurt and that the malady is only aggra vated by constant depression. He makes it his mission In life to drive away depression and turn the thoughts of people toward brighter things. His cheerfulness is a tonic that never fails to act. It'a You and I ToBether. Brian Hooker in Broadway. Glory of a golden light over vale and hill. Buttercups a-bending to the swift wlnd'a will. Summer-sweet In every breath, a bird on every apray And it's you and I together, Dear, the live long day! Wonder of a misty moon high above thi wood, Glamour In the valley and our own hearts' blood. All the breathing dark alive with murmurs of delight And it's you and I together. Sweet, the live long night! Win a world or lose a world peaca or ach- Ins strain Bummer dawn of Joy, or Winter dusk of pain Every time I think of you. It's Ilk a Hit of song. For it'n you and I together. Love, a whole life lopal
