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. In the last n-»,_ . -,. . _
analysis a w oman prefers a man w ho ... P ract ' c *l *^ n< * day . m *k*a
makes love to one who can make mon- * v *lue of the diamonds their Impor-
The American woman Is Indeed tant feature In a purchase of stones,
fortunate; she has the advantage of and we urge the practical and superior
It, nnd very apropos of the methods
your men pursue. 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.”

Summer Experiences
of An Atlanta Woman
The following very chatmlng letter
from Mra. 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«

By order of congress a new monu-

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

"Here Is burled Thomas Jefferson, an

ence, of the Statute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom and Father of the
Unlveralty of Virginia. Born April

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.

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.

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. I And, however, the good old
“Virginia” customs are atilt perpetu
ated when
"Gallant mirth was wont to sport
awhile
And serene Old Age looked on with
approving smile.”
