AMERICAN WOMAN AS ALFRED HARM8WORTH 8EE3 HER Alfred Harmsworth (Lord North- cliffe), one of the most unique figures In present day Journalism, arrived a few days ago In New York from Lon don As Is well known, Harmsworth has made a magnificent success with his newspaper ventures In conservative England. He Is the owner and editor of The London Dally Moll, one of the moet Influential newspapers In England. Ills London house In Berkeley Square Is the renter of a very brilliant coterie of distinguished people, of which his wife, now Ludy Northrllffe, Is the leading figure. She Is looked upon as one of the most beautiful women In London, ami her wit and brilliant repartee are among her unusual charms At twenty Harmsworth was a poor and struggling Journalist; at thirty, a millionaire and before he was forty he was made a baronet, and la known as Alfred, Lord Northrllffe, In the Brit ish peerage. He was created a baronet In 1904. This famous English editor haa expressed some very peculiar views regarding the matrimonial pref erences of Amerlenn w< men. views that are being combatted very vigorously In the columns of the New York dallies. Among other things Harmsworth said a few days ago: "The most Interesting thing about America Is her women—at least that Is what Englishmen think, nnd we ought to know, for wo hnve In London tho very flower of American womanhood— women of your country who have mar ried our men, and who never come over to this side unless It may be to make innmmit’ a brief visit or to see how the States have grown. •The American girls like our men better than she does the American; it's because he knows better how to treat her." T hnve studied the American girl, not a lltle hit," continued the Kngllajt edi tor. "and It Is after much careful ob servation that I have come to the con clusion that our men make better hus bands for the American girl than your own men. The American woman likes him better. * What tho American woman—what nny woman likes—Is to be adored; to be made much of—to be worshipped. In truth, nnd thnt fs where the English man hns advantage over the Ameri can. He adores, worships, lavishes his uffectlon on his wife. •The American calls us a stupid lot; he loves to tell the American girl those stories, referring to the slow-going wits nl the nverage Englishman: the En glishman may lie stupid—1 don't think so—but If he Is, his stupidity la of a sort that appeals to the American girl so much that she marries htrn. "Let the American man deny that! ! can prove what I say by statistics—, actual figures. . "While the American Is busy making ] money for his wife, tile Englishman Is I busy making love to his.

The Englishman never rushes In anything, particularly not In matters that affect his heart. A woman Is flattered by the time he takes In his love making. "American men may make fairly good lovers before marriage: they may shower their fiancees with American beautlps; they may stuff sweets down their pretty throats; they may provide all sorts of entertainment,' but It Is so palpably lavished upon the girl that she becomes surfeited with the purely material demonstrations of the man's affection. "He forgets to tell her that he loves her; In his business like way, he re calls the day when he honored her with the avowal of his affection and looks with pride upon the four-karat soli taire, or the band or brilliants which gleam upon her third right-hand An ger, and like Hint famous ‘Ad,’ he thinks 'nuf ced.' 'But with us It Is different. A man Is more devoted after he Is married than before, and while he doesn't buy rosea by the ton, he does not forget the bunch of violets or the roadside buttercup, It might , be, of which he has heard his wife express herself as fond, on some happy occasion In the past—an occaalon which she may have forgotten until reminded of It through the forgetfulness and sentiment of her husband." Referring to the American woman In letters. Lord Northcllffe accorded her the hlgheat praise. "Your American women are today the w-orld's leading novelleta,” he said. "Take Mrs. Whar ton, who writea so charmingly, Mrs, Cralgte, Mrs. Atherton, Baroness Von Hutton—she, too. Is an American girl— and what wonderful work they have all done for letters. The American woman Is a wonderful production, for she can do so many things so well. But In lit. orature she Is truly great.” JEFFERSON.

William Vorth Martin, of Atlanta, who Is spending some time at Keswick, Va, wlU be read with great Interest by hsr many friends In the cltyr and In other parts of Georgia. Mra. Martin writea: In casting about as where to go for the summer and contemplating the many desirable places held out to me, at the last moment I decided I would for awhile cast my lot onqe more amidst the hospitable people of the dear old state of Virginia—for dear It Is to me—being the home of my an cestors and that of my husband. I am most delightfully domiciled In the home of my friend, Mra. Thurman, who doubtless will be pleasantly remem bered by many In Atlanta as Miss Liz zie Tate Gill, of Memphis, Tenn- who waa the popular guest of Mrs. W. B. Lowe, now Mra. Gunter, a few years ago. Keswick Is a noted old place orlgi- naUy settled by the Pages and Rogers. It Is said doubtless Dr. Page- named Keswick for tho home of the poet Southey, In Cumberland county, Eng land. Adjacent to Keswick are many noted old estates. The Hats of those who have lived here, and nearby. Is a long and honored one. Many names are of sufh national celebrity that I feel an account of those who bore them and the homes which so reflected their personality will be of more than local Interest. Wirt so truly expressed It when he said, “the people of Albe marle were the society of nature," as like the beauties of nature around them they partook of the beautiful In character— It Is here we And the old home steads of Virginia's Illustrious sons, who have long since passed Into the unknown, but whose homes are pre served, and their memories cherished. The noted home of Thomas Jefferson, 8 miles distant (distances, by the way, to Vlrglnlane, seem of n’lmporte), doubtless next to Mt. Vernon there Is no place In the United States that has been more written of or more visited than Montlcello (Italian for little mountain.) We were fortunate In be ing the guests at a reception a few evenings since given at this grand old place by Mr. and Mra. Von Mayhoff, sister of the present owner, Hon. Jef ferson Levy, of New York, who, to all appearances. Is still enjoying the pleasures of “single blessedness," and It Is to Mrs. Von Mayhoff he looks to assist him In doing the honors of the home. Mr. Levy has shown his fine Judgment In preserving, as near as possible, the house as It was originally, only renovating It aa to the preserva tion of same. The drive to this home Is over a smooth and easily graded road which winds gracefully around "Carter's Mountain,!' bringing the traveler to the "Notch," or first summIL almost before he realises IL Here stands a porter's lodge with artistic double gates through which vehicles enter upon the Montlcello domain proper, and as one begins to ascend the "Little Mountain" upon which the mansion sits a mils above, an Immense bell that Is sus pended above the gate Is rung to an nounce the coming of visitors. Enter ing from the eastern portico with Its lofty Corinthian pillars and arched door, over which Is still seen the old English clock which marks the hours. The visitor Is here met and ushered through large double glass doors Into a spacious semi-octagonal hall with Its wide fireplace at one end, as la us ually found In old English mansions, Opposite tha door Is a small gallery which on one side of It, stands a fine marble bust of the patriot himself, and on the other, one of Washington, both by the celebrated Italian artist, Car racci. From this hall opens another glosa door leading Into the drawing room or salon, being the largeet and handsomest room In the house and slt- uated Immediately under the dome. This room Is also octagonal. Its floors being laid In parquetry of octagonal blocks of different colored wood, which were cut by his own colored workmen, giving It a most unique and pleasing effect and which for skill challenges the genius of a more intelligent race. The belief that Mr. Jefferson Imported from England moat of the brick used Is quite erroneous; all pf these were mode upon the spot by his own slaves •nd the site of their manufacture la still pointed out. General Tarleton came to Montlcel- „ at the head of the English army to capture Jefferson, who was warned by a friend, and escaped through an un derground passage which ends In an opening part of the way down the mountain. This opening has been marked by a rough stone arch. Hi," tory says that Tarleton was so angrv on finding that Jefferson had escaped that he rode his horse straight throush the house, and the impression of >h« hnrva'i hrutfa n-sva vIsIKIa « tk. i tires In Amerlcus.

Nowe la on the sick list horse's hoofs were visible on the hand some floor for many years. By order of congress a new monu- ment has lately been erected upon the site of the old and battered shaft which stood over his grave In the little bury. Ing ground by the roadside to the left as one goes toward the valley from Jefferson's home. The new monument bears the Inscription from the old stdns which has been piously removed to the campus of -the University of the state of Missouri at Columbia. He re quested that at his death the follow ing Inscription be put upon his tomb- "Here Is burled Thomas Jefferson, an chor of the Declaration of Independ ence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and Father of the Unlveralty of Virginia. Born April 2, 1741, O. 8, Died July 4, 1824" Evidently he didn't place much stress on having been president of these Uni ted States, for any who hold the po- lltlcal strings could pull them In their favor, but the thing he apparently val ued moat was that be had accomplish ed what none other had or could hen- after do. "Pantops," one of Jefferson's old farms, formerly written "Pant-Ops," from two Greek words, meaning "all seeing," significant of the extended view from Its summit, stands under the shadow of Montlcello lmm|Bdlately op. poalte oh the north side of the river. In the year 1877 after the death of Cap tain Anderson, Pnntope passed Into the hands of Rev. Edgar Woods, who had been pastor of the Prezbytcrlan Church In Charlottesville, compelled by falling health to relinquish hla charie, he removed to Pantopa, and there open ed a small school-for boys, chiefly to educate his own sons. Such was the success of this small beginning that upon urgent entreaties of hla frlendt and neighbors for Ita continuance he waa compelled to greatly enlarge and Improve the old mansion of forty years previous, which was, even then, In sound, preservation, though unsulled to modern requirements. Falling health, however, compelled him to give up his Iticreased labors, and In 1881 Pantops was again sold to Professor John R. Sampson, who had for eight years filled with distinction the chair of ancient languages at Davidson Col lege, N. C. Upon taking possession of the school, Professor Sampson found It necessary to again greatly enlarge Its facilities to meet the rapidly increased patronage, and at once erected a large, three-atory building with a)l of Its modern Improvements for lecture rooms, study hall, library, etc., as well as other outside buildings, as dormi tories, gymnasium, bathing rooms, un til now the classic summit of "Pan tops" Is crowned with many stately and Imposing buildings, which like a "city set on a hill,” sends forth Its light to all parts of the world, many o( Its graduates being In foreign lands, while others are filling high and hon ored positions In our own. “EdgehlH" mansion, the home of the Randolphs, next to Montlcello In his toric celebrity, of It I could write much of Interest, but space forbids. It will, however, be long remembered and al«o dear, not only to the hearts of. Vlr- S nlana, but to the very many in the r South who have spent there *o many happy days amid all that Is pure, refined and elevating. It Is said If there M any place by man’s creation which approaches the great secret of nature like the untouch ed woods, or the ocean’s roar which calls forth our solemn admiration, that place la "Castle Hill.” This name will at once recall to the minds of many as the old home of Amelle Rives, now "Princess Troubetakoy,” who still, I am told, spends a greater part of her time there. To visitors Is still pointed nut the room where at the window fronting the lawn, stands her little rocking chslr and the table upon which ehe wrote "The Quick or the Dead” and others of her productions. Mra. Rives, ths mother of Princess Troubetakoy, has ex tended a very cordial Invitation to my hostess to bring her guest to visit tht place, and that pleasure I have In an ticipation for the week following. I could write ad Infinitum of the In- I numerable grand old historical homes In and around Keswick, but I realize I have already wrlten at too great a length.
