New York, Oct. 32. —The gilad wheel
■of society, inactive here during the sum
mer months, will soon begin to fcirn again
as furiously as ever in the sight of nil mon,
and thecvnic will heaven sigh anc murmur
“vanity of vanities.” That muei may be
true, but if he goes on to quote 'till is van
ity" he will overstate the case. T he look
sharply around him he will fim that the
sober and serious consideration of life is
not peculiar to himself for even to Ms sex.
Our most cultivated and best voman—and
they are not few—are progressive. They
dpsire to be something more than butter
flies of fashion. They have earnest, vork in
hand, and these are not altogether tin wom
en who rail at society, but are some <t them
prominent therein. New York women
who work with their pens are not ihe blue
stockings one might imagine. Indad, some
are distinguished for personal cliarns and
gentle accomplishments. Among these is
the
MME. LAS'ZA.
"Marquise Lanza Mercato de Bianco. Over
her modest signature, “Clara Lanza,” she
contributes some of the best and brightest
newspaper and magazine work. She is the
daughter of ex-Surgeon General William
A. Hammond and the mother of three very
handsome little boys. She has a charming
home on a quiet street, where her friends
go to get rid of the blues, for that malady
• anno! withstand the influence of Mine.
Lanza’s beauty and wit. Any sketch of her
would be incomplete if nothing were said
of her skill with the mandolin. She is the
show pupil of Tipoldi, who considers her an
incomparable genius aud compost's waltzes
in great numbers which are dedicated to
her. Iu person Mme. Lanza is tall and well
formed, with blue-gray eyes aud close curling
“golden hair.” She is undeniably one of the
most beautiful women in New York. The
Nineteenth Century Club numbers her
among its most prominent members and her
name is on the roll of Vice Presidents.
Another New York lady who holds a high
place in society and also in literature is
Mrs. Burton Harrison. Her husband was
Jefferson Davis’ private secretary. He has
written several of the war papers in the
< 'entury. He is a lawyer and a member of
the Manhatttan Club. Mrs. Harrison, who
was Miss Constance Cary, was born in Vir
ginia. Her mother was a daughter of tho
ninth I.ojd Fairfax. 1 Fairfax county, in
Virginia, was their property, and the old
Fairfax mansion was called “Vancluse.”
Her father was one of the Carys, of Caris
brooke, another old Virginia family.
When Constance was a child he died and
she and her mother returned to the Fairfax
estates. “Vancluse” was one of those de
lightful old Virginian homes now fast pass
ing away. It had out-of the-wav corners
and unused rooms In one of these apart
ments had beeu placed an old chest, in
which were thrown at haphazard the rem
nants of several libraries that had belonged
to the different Fairfax families. These
books fascinated young Constance Cary; she
loved them and lived with them in the past
One day she found a copy of “The Mill on
the Floss.' 1 George Eliot was a revelation
to her. It produced anew line of thought
and she began to write littli sketches,
which were published during the war and
commanded much attention. Then she met
Mr. Harrison, who had just graduated from
Vale College. Through the Influence of his
old friend, Secretary Lamar, he became
private secretary to Jefferson Davis. The
courtship of Mr. Harrison and Miss Cary
extended through the troublous times of tho
war. At oue time Miss Cary and her
mother visited Mr. Harrison at Fort Dela
ware, where he was imprisoned. At the
close of the war Miss Cary, accompanied by
her mother, visited Europe, returning to be
the bride of Mr. Harrison. The wedding
took place at the old Gouverneur Morris
mansion, in Westchester county, in 1867.
MRS. SHERWOOD.
Mrs. Morris was an aunt of Mrs. Harrison
on her father’s side. Tho Harrisons’ winter
home is on Lexington avenue, near Gram
trey Park. Their home has an air of
fluaintness and contains much old mahog
any and antique silver that has long been
in the Fairfax, Cary and Harrison families.
They have a handsome summer cottage at
Rur Harbor. Mrs. Harrison’s name as an
author is familiar to the readers of Harper's
Magazine and the Century. Among her
" oi-ks may bementioned “The Little Centen
nial Lady,” “Helen Troy,”“Golden Rod,an
Idyl of Mount Desert,” “Bric-a-Brae
{stories,” and “Old-fashioned Fairy Tales.”
1 hese latter stories were invented for her
own little boys. They have met with suc
cess both in’ this country and England.
Mrs. Harrison’s literary work is perhaps
Pest know to the fashio'nahle New Yorkers
through her adaptations, translations and
original plays. Mr. Coward, a favorite
amateur, and Mrs. James Brown Potter
gained reputation by means of her “Rus
s|au Honeymoon,” which afterward
achieved a long professional run at the
Madison Square Theatre. In personnl ap
pearance Mrs. Harrison is rather small, has
a fair complexion, with a wealth of reddish
golden hair. She lias an air of daintiness
about her, is very feminine in manner, not
•oppressing one as strong-minded in the
•Mtal acceptation of that term. Her figure
still girlish, aud one can hardly think of
her a:, ttie mother of a young gentleman of
I >' already at S ale
Mrs. John Sherwood is one of the most
brilliant of tho literary world of New
N ork. Her articles for the press are
‘Janed M. E. W. S. She has written a
number of books on etiquette and several
novels, of which "A Transplanted Rose” was
especially successful. Sue is very popular
and has a large circle of friends in the lit
erary and fashionable circles of New York.
Nbe is 5a years of age. but. joins the bril
liancy of earlier years with a larger knowl
edge of the world of literature, art atid
fashion. In the winter she gives readings
and talks at her elegant home in West
Thirty-second street, and iu summer she
goeo to Europe.
MARY L. BOOTH.
Mary Louise Booth, ttie historian, trans
lator and editor of Harper's Bazar, has
pleasant oval features, a dark complexion
and eyes almost jet black. In appearance
she rather suggests a French Duchess of
ancirn regime. Her maternal grand
father was a French emigre. Miss Booth
was born April 19, 1831, at Millville, now
Yaphank, Suffolk county. Long Island.
She obtained her early education at the
district school, of which her father was the
teacher; afterward she passed through sev
eral academies and seminaries of Long
Island aud acquired the classics, French and
mathematics. In 1844 her father removed
to old Williamsburg, now the Eastern Dis
trict of Brooklyn, naving received tho ap
pointment as Principal of one of the pub
lic schools. She became a teacher in the
same school, but her health failed and sho
was obliged to relinquish the position. She
had always had literary tastes; she had a
liberal education and she now contributes
tales and sketches to various journals and
magazines. She also translated French
works for magazines and for publication in
book form. Her mastery of the French
language is complete. She also engaged in
a more ambitious work. It was a history
of New York, which required much re
search, much labor in various directions,
but it was published in 1859 and is one of
the most readable of the histories of the
great city.
On the breaking out of the war in 1861
she translated a number of important
w orks by French authors, who had espoused
the cause of the North and who sought to
create a sentiment in Europe favorable to
the government of the United States. She
carried on at the same time a correspon
dence with MM. Laboulaye, Martin and
Cochin, Mgs. Dupanloup, Count de Gas
pann and other friends of America iu
France. Afterward she translated Henry
Martin s “History of France.” Her trans
lations number nearly forty volumes. She
translated Count Gasparin’s work, “The Up
rising of a Great People,” and had it ready
for publication in a week, working twenty
hours a day. Abraham Lincoln wrote her
a letter of thanks. Charles Sumner wrote:
“It is worth a whole phalanx in the cause
of freedom.” Needless to say, it was a
work which espoused the cause of the
North.
In 1867, when Harper & Brothers estab
lished the Bazar, she became its editor, and
she has devoted herself With characteristic
energy and industry to the conduct of that
journal She lives a t the corner ot' Fifty
ninth street and Park avenue, New York,
in a brownstone house, handsomely though
not showily furnished, and there she gives
weekly receptions. She is hospitable, re
fined, unassuming and a lady of rare intel -
lectual endowments. Ever since she was a
girl she has been dintinguished in the world
of letters. She has never married. She is
at her office in the Harper’s building from
10 till 4 daily. She receives a handsome re
muneration and is in easy circumstances.
i
ANNA KATHERINE GREENE.
Miss Ellen Mackay Hutchinson, the
author of a volume of poems of exceptional
merit, and who has sole charge of the Sun
day supplement of the New York Tribune,
is one of the most, interesting figures of the
literary life ot New York. Of her poems
one of the most distinguished critics in
this country said to me: “I consider them
remarkable for their originality and lyrical
beauty. She is also a fine critic of books.”
In earlier life she was a protege of Charles
Dudley Warner. She comes of a very fine
family and ha. a high social position. Still
under 30, a writer for the Tribune ever
since she was a mere girl, she doubtless has
a still more brilliant future before her. She
is considered one of the best writers of prose
and verse that we have. Unfortunately,
she has that shrinking repugnance to pub
licity which was so remarkable a character
istic of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The lady is
of slender build, fair complexion, has a firm
but sensitive mouth, and agreeable oval fea
tures of a distinguished cast. Her literary
labors receive the recognition of a very
handsome emolument.
Mrs Evelyu Baker Harvier is the cefftre
of a set of clever literary and artistic peo
ple who may be seen at her “evenings” if
one is fortunate enough to be included in her
list. Mrs. Harvier writes for the newspa
pers through one of the big syndicates, and
her bright articles may also be seen in the
magazines occasionally. She lives near
Central Park and is the presiding genius in
a happy home. She is pretty aud vivacious
and has a host of friends.
Anna Katherine Greene, author of the
“Leavenworth Case.” lives at 823 Fourth
street, Brooklyn. Although scarcely 80
years of age, she is one of the most skillful
constructionists among contemporary
writers of fiction. She belongs to the
school of Oaboriau and Dumas. “The
Leavenworth Case,” which was published
eight years ago, created a genuine sensation,
and since then she has written several other
successful novels. H-r fathor was a lawyer
of this city and at one time a member of the
Common Council She was bom on Cran
berry street, Brooklyn, in the shadow of
Plymouth Church. Her first efforts were
in verse, which have boon bound into a vol
ume called “The Defense of the Bride and
Other Poems.” .She at first doubted her
abililv to write a story and was astonished
to find that she could do so after trying.
Her method is interesting. She rarely
makes any notes when evolving the plot of
a story. She thinks out nearly every detail
in the plot before putting her pen to paper.
She first works it out from beginning to
end and then, to test her processes of ev
olution, she turns about and traverses the
maze of the story from the end to the be
ginning Bbe never uses a desk iu writing

regular feature*, blue eves and brown hair.
-But for the thoughtful and studious ex
predion which never leaves her face she
would lie called pretty. Some six years ago
she ilrst met the man Who is now her hus
band. Mr. Charles Kohlfs. an agreeable
gentleman and first-class engraver. He
was at that time an actor who had won dis
tinction in portraying eccentric character,
notably ns “Carojac” in The Banker’s
Daughter. Not until they were engaged to
lie married did ho susi>ert that she was the
author of “The Leavenworth Case.’’ They
have now been maiTied over two years and
have a daughter. Mrs. Rolilfs is said to
lie a good cook and an excellent house
keeper.
A good many people in a good many
places are asking about Mrs. Florine Thayer
McCray. Now one bears of her as an en
thusiastic tricylist, again, she is talked of
only as a “charming woman of society,”
notable, however, for brightening the ap
palling dullness which is the concomitant of
gatherings of the Ultra Exclusives by her
graceful piquancy, bits of wisdom and
ready wit.
Another says: "She is a howling re
former.” Another: “She is a notable wom
an with a noole purpose.” Another; “That
she was born and reared in luxury, her so
cial position such as to satisfy the most in
spiring; but her one great desire is to gain
a famous literary reputation, which she
seems in a fair way to accomplish,” and so
on
I accepted an invitation to visit this
much-talked-of woman at her own home in
Hartford, Conn. I found the author of
“Environment” pretty, bright and girlish—
as far as possible from the ideal “blue stock
ing”—with a form of graceful curves, the
perfect delight of a sculptor. Listen, oh
ye benighted maidens! She glories in a
waist that measures 24 inches; height, about
6 feet 2; blonde hair, that falls away below
this jolly good waist; light blue eyes, full of
kindliness, brimming with fun: finely-arched
brows, broad forehead, a head well poised on
the graceful body, a face interesting to
study in every way, now saucy, now severe,
every varying expression chasing each other,
of the kindest as well as acutest interest in
every passing object.
Dryasdust wisdom laughs from her lips in
a way that so gilds the pill of good advice it
is easy to take, and when I was last within
her home the last lingering fear of being
disillusionized vanished. No woman who
possessed a place like this, with every evi
dence of a thorough appreciation oft the
beautiful and comfort-giving, where one's
soul and body were put in tune, could be
striving for a literary fame which is sure
to bring jangling discords of dissatisfac
tion. Whoever knew an author satisfied
with the fame the best endeavor brought?
But there were the signs and symbols of
literary work. In just the brightest cor
ner of that cheerful room stood the desk
with the paraphernalia of a “writer for
the press.” The writer's dainty chair snug
gling close to the window, from which one’s
eyes rest on the good “green things grow
ing," on the hammock swinging ’neath the
apple tree, its branches sweeping the ground
with their weight of fruit almost ripened;
the loved tricycle on the piazza, carefully
shielded from damp by a gorgeous afghan
Then the eye of the visitor is caught by the
tiles around the open fireplace opposite,
every design different, novel, producing the
most pleasing effect, all painted by the lit
tle lady of the house.
A glance into the niche on the left dis
closes a bookcase filled full of the books
every one is proud to own.
But the most overwhelming surprise is
awaiting in the dining room for all who
have the deep-rooted idea that a person im
bued with a “craze” for literary fame can
be good tor nothing else, that the woman
who dares to write a book can’t prepare an
eatable meal.
Table, perfect, in its appointments of
dainty china, silver and crystal. Sym
phonies in soup, ftsh and meat; every va
riety of vegetables deliciously cooked by a
model domestic trained to the service sole
ly by her mistress, proving beyond cavil
that a good mistress does make a good ser
vant.
1 could not discover any tendency to get
up on stilts and howl; but I did see an earn
est desire to be something worthier than a
petted society darling (which she is), an am
ateur painter; an undeveloped sculptor (for
she models in clay far better than the more
loudly talked of aspirants); or being per
fect in the knowledge of the intricacies of
Kensington stitch; and in choosing to enter
the army of writers she hopes to be in the
foremost rank and file.
MRS. E. r. HKATOV.
Among the literary women who are asso
ciated more directly with journalism not
one is better known, perhaps, than Mrs.
Eliza Putnam Heaton. A newspaper reader
on being introduced to Mrs. Heaton, and
finding that lady to be a diminutive person
barely 5 feet high, with a pleasing, intelli
gent i'ace, and a manner so far removed
from forwardness as to seem almost shy,
onee exclaimed in surprise: “Why, how
small you are! Somehow I had got the idea
from your writings that you were a great
big woman with a very positive way about
you.” Whatever idea may be suggested to
our readers, Mrs. Heaton is, in fact, decided
ly small, and habited as she always Is, in
dresses which stop 1 or 5 inches above the
ground, is generally addressed as "Miss” by
strangers. Her lack of size and unconven
tionahty of attire sometimes lead to
ludicrous results, as when on one occasion
her butcher’s bov invited her to go skating,
“if her mother didn’t object.” It is hardly
necessary to add that she is a most uncom
promising dress reformer, and that, though
she is for business reasons always well in
formed of the latest freaks of fashion, she is
herself a deadly foe to coi-scts, trains, high
heels, paints, powders and all other ad
junct* of the toilet which areof harmful or
even questionable effect. Perhaps because
of this unconventionality of attire she can
row like a sailor, walk unheard-of dis
tances with enjoyment and without fatigue,
and is an expert canoeist.
Mrs. Heaton is one of the New England
Putnams, was born almost within sight of
the gilded dome and graduated at the head
of a large class of both sexes at Boston
University. Having shown marked apti
tude in zoological studies she was engaged
as assistant to Prof. Alpheus Hyatt at tho
Boston Natural History rooms. Here she
was in a fair way, under the best tutelage
in America, to become a scientist of stand
ing. when she left her microscope and dis
secting knife to marry a Brooklyn journal
ist, then as now upon the editorial
staff of the Brooklyn Times.
It was not long before she began writing
for the 'rimes, and her engagement upon its
editorial staff followed almost as a matter
of course. Sho still retains her connection
with the Times, contributing steadily to its
columns, while at the same time doing a
large amont of correspondence for leading
papers.
Mrs. Heaton is a thoroughly-equipped
journalist in every branch of work, blither
specialty lies in writing for and about wom
en. There are probably few persons living
of either sex who are better informed than
she upon the legal status, social environ
ments, wages, health and general condition
of women not only in all the States of her
own country, but in foreign countries as
well. A thorough democrat, sho is as well
acquainted with the lives and labors of shop
girlsand factory hands as with those of their
most favored sisters, and is as much at
home among them. She knows the tene
ment region of the great metropolis as few
other women do know it, except from actual
experience, and lovos to write about the
work that awaits the sanitarian and re
former m that vast home of suffering far
better than to chronicle the doings of for
tune's darlings who never know what it is
to want.
As might be expected, perhaps, this ex
zoological journalist has few of the accom
plishments commonly possessed by her sex.
She cannot play the piano, or hammer brass,
or crochet, or do fancy work of any kind.
Indeed, she expresses very little liking for
most work of this kind on the principle
that what isn't well done might as well not
be done at all. Her bobby is the camera,
and she has by degrees collected, in the
Queen Anne cottage in the suburbs of
Brooklyn where she fives with her husband
and child, hundreds of photographs illus
trating all sorts of things, from a canoe
voyage on the Hudson to a prison doctor
pulling u convict's tooth and from a view in
the Catskills to many a quaint “character”
on the city streets aiid docks, whose features
were caught “unbeknown” to him, by tho
aid of the detective camera. With her
camera, her books, her canoe and her daily
work she is a remarkably busy woman.
Though she has never written any fiction
beyond a few clever short stories, she is, like
almost every working journalist, accumu
lating avast amount of material which may
take that shape some day.
