SO’IE WOMEN WHOiVRITE IBOMI: NEW YORKERS VHO ARE KNOWN IN LITERATfRE. # ______ “Tltey are not Blue Stocking but ere Many of Them Prominentln Society and Possessed of Persona Beauty - A Glance at the Home Lit of Same of the Best Known Authoiassos. 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 but, works with a pud in her lap. Miss Greene is of medium height, with small, THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1887. 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. J.
