Mr*. FrrderUk Dent Grant—Widow of President Oruut'i oldest son has recently pureliMBtMl a houie Id WuBhifiKton and
will become r permanent renl<lt»nt. Khe Is au Important uddltlon to the dlatlajfulshed widows who make the National capital
socially so brilliant and lntereHtlng. Mrs. Grant bas moved famous and historic |)oshi»8h1oiih from Governor's Island, and her
Mew Hampshire Aveuue home will lie a radiating point for society, considered under many aspects.
Frfderlrk Pent tefore his death Gen. Frederick Dent Grant was much Interested in q monument to his fathers
memory being erected It. the gardens near the National capital. His wld<»w will now help complete the work.
Mrs. Potter Palmrr—She will be much at the new Grant residence In Washlnj^on.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ April 20.—Each year the Capital attracts the bearers of famous and honored names in
large numbers. History is written in the mere roster of those who are guests at the functions of the older and more
sedate members of society. Mrs. John Hay maintains her home here unchanged so far as the eye can detect from the
days when John Hay was the dean of letters as well as foremost diplomatist and patriot. Recently Robert Lincoln
established a home and he and his wife mingle familiarly with those who bear names nearly allied to the fame of
Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Philip Sheridan has a comfortable home here, and coining down to later publicists, the widow
of Mark Hanna is a permanent winter resident and Mrs. Garret Hobart an occasional one. That Mrs. Fred Grant
should select Washington as her home is a logical scquen ce. She has ties which bind her here and memories which
form the most sacred part of her life. This past winter s he has been too sad to take up social life at all and with
her pretty little granddaughter, Bertha Honore, the oldest daughter of Princess Cantacuzene, she has been passing
some weeks in Florida. Just now she and the small Russian princess are passing a few weeks at the Shoreham
while her home in New Hampshire Avenue is being placed in order.
Mrs. Grant, like Iter distinguished
elste:% Mrs. Potter Palmer, 1b a native
of Loulftvllle. Kentucky, but Washing-
ton figures in h»»r life more luminously
than any other city, even Chicago where
her racial trlumpe were so frequently re-
(ord'd. She Is the daughter of ll**nry
Hamilton Honore of dlstlngulshod Hugue-
not ancestry and his wife, who was Kllzu
J»ors?y and whose mother belonged to the
<Vltlc family of i*arr. Beauty and bril-
liancy would well be expected of such
an alliance, historic and heroic Gallic
and ancient Celtic, also a .tendency to
conservatism and the valuation of things
according to old Ideals. Mrs. Grant and
lier sister were sent to the picturesque
Convent of the Visitation in Georgetown
and li.»re they passed many years, finally
graduating with all honors. Both are

oinong the alumnae of that aeat of learn-
ing and have always mulutulned a dtep
sympathy for Ita welfare. Mrs Grant,
timoiiK the cogent reaaona why Wiuhlng-
ton Is so deal, names her alma mater
and th> opportunity to slip away from
the world uiiil lis troubles and tulk to thu
gentle yelled nuns who pass their ex-
istence behind their barred wlndours and
know earthly thlnga only as by echoes.
Then of course there stands out that first
winter which she paased In tlie White
llouss, coming there a brldo. Her mar-
rlags to young Fred Grant occurred In
Chlcagj where her father had removed
In her «uly girlhood, on October 20, ltftt,
but a few months after President and
Mra. Grant had »een their only daughter,
Nellie, «all away to England aa tlie bride
of Algernon Sartorln Naturally she re-
ceived a most cordial welcome and that
winter will remain a memory too wonder-
ful for word! to express adequately. The
older of the two children of General and
Mra. Kred Grant, Julia Dent, now mar-
ried to Prince Michael Cantacuiene of
Kuaala waa born In the White House In
the latter part of November, 1*75. The
Hon, riyases H. Grant, third, waa born In
t.'hlcago where Mr and Mra. Grant re-
sided tot a time after General Grant left
the White Houae.
THE CIRCIJt OK FRtRNDS
Naturally Mra Giant made valued
friendships during her many residences
In Washington, and of those the
family of General Edward Fltagerald
Il<ale were among the closest. Sec-
ond only to her grief at loalng her
husband, waa the death of Mrs (John
K. Mclean last slimmer, for many years
a avmpathetle and congenial friend.
Hut In Madam Hakhmeteff, wife of
the Russian ambassador, also a
daugntnr of General Beale. Mrs. Grant
finds much solace. There are, however,
two distinct anrrowa In her present
residence In Washington, though one,
that of the removal of her son, Ulysses
H. Grant third, from duty at the War
Department to a post In Umahn la one
which time may remedy. The other hiis
a deeper root. It Is her necessary Interest
In the completion of the splendid memorial
to Gsneral t'lysses 8 Grant In the tlo-
tanlcal Gardens near the Capitol grounds.
This ironument Is the most ambitious
piece of architectural sculpture ever at-
tempted In thto country and General Fred
Grant waa keenly Interested In Its pro-
gress The sculptor Is Henry Merwln
Khrady, son of the Illustrious physician,
George F. Shrady, who stood by the old
warrior while he msde his gailaut fight
against the dread enemy which finally
laid him low. Mr. Shrady received the
award In open competition in 1V0 and has
been laboring on the work erer since.
The lasting «ss dons Ui the Romsn
bronze worke of Brooklyn at which Gen-
eral) Fred Grant was a constant visitor.
The director of these works Is Henor Bo-
telll, himself an accomplished sculptor
and friend and protege of the late Urn
bert of Italy. But one part of this great
piece of architectural sculpture Is now
finished and thut tun late for General
Fred Grant to admire. It la the artillery
group recently placed In position on one
of the maaslve wings which stretch out
from the splendid elevation on which an
equestrian statue of the hero of Appo-
mattox will be erected. This group alone
has oeen four years lu the making Includ-
ing the six months required for ths cast
Ing. It emerged from that process In a
flawless condition, and to accotnpllah this,
a process discovered by that master mind,
llenvenuto Cellini, and only recently re-
discovered, was used. It la a coating of
wax covered with chemicals. A similar
group representing the cavalry will oc
eupy the other wing. Though the sculptor
Is working diligently, It will necessarily be
years before the monument approaches
completion. General Fred Grant con
stantly Inspected the plaster cast, and
that he did not live to see even u portion
of this magnificent triumph of art Im-
prisoned In the hrenin, saddens Mrs.
Grant very much.
AT THE UNVEILING.
It will he something of a comfort to
Mrs. Grant that both her son and her
small grandson, Ulysses 8. Grant, fourth,
will be present when this marvelous mem-
orial of the American people to one of Its
moat beloved heroes, is unveiled. Wash-
ington has always felt a keen Interest in
young Lieutenant Grant, the third of his
lln« to bear the Illustrious name of his
grandfather, and there Is a pathetic side
to the memory. When General Grant had
but a few hours to live, he provided for
the future of this young man then hut
four yiars old. He felt a natural longing
that his namesake should serve his
country, and taking a pad on which he
had lately been correcting some additions
to his memoirs, he wrotr, addressing Ills
wonts simply and directly,
"To the President of the united States '—
Greeting:
"May I ask you to favor the appoint-
ment of t'lysses s Grant, the son of
my son. Frederick Grant, as a cadet at
West Point upon his application? In
doing so you will gratify the wish of
tll.YSHKfl 8 GRANT."
General Fred Grant who became
legatee of nearly all his father's papers
kept this safely and In 1*>T he presented
It to President MoKlnley t'lysses third
entered West Point In ths early part
ol 1»h and finished his course there
with cr«dlt. Hs was assigned to tbs
engineering corps of the army und for
u time was stationed In Boston. Pres-
ident Roosevelt, who believed that noth-
ing was so potent for good as to hold
honored names constantly before the
public, appointed young Grant as one
of the social aides at the White House.
In the Baino list of young officers chosen
for this pleasant duty appeared the
names of Philip Sheridan, son of Little
Phil, and of Robert E. I.ee, son of Gen-
eral Fltlhugh Lee and grand-nephew of
the gallant leader of the Lost Cause, It
was while at the White House that Lieu-
tenant Grant first met Miss Edith, only
daughter of Senator Elihu Root, then
Secretary of State. That the fine old
home of the Presidents figured largely
in this romance and was really the en-
ironment of it was delicately hinted by
the gift which Mrs. Roosevelt sent the
distinguished lovers, namely a lovely
little water color done by a famous
local artist, representing the old stone
stairway leading from the southern bal-
cony to the garden. The flowers arc all
In bloom In the picture and at the foot
of the steps Is a big vine-covered bench,
with the whole scene suggestive! of a
lovers' tryst while the gay world was
feting In the salons beyond. This wed-
ding was one of the epochal nuptial
events at the Capital and occurred In
November, 1907. General and Mrs. Fred
Grant and Mrs. Pottar Palmer and her
sons and a number of Kentucky and
Chicago cousins were all In attendance,
not to apeak of the assemblage of na-
tional dignitaries yvho wished to honor
both bride and bridegroom not only
themselves but all they represented.
LAST GRANT MEMOIRS
Mrs. Grant will bring to Washington
the fine library, part of which her hus-
band collected and part of which he in-
herited from his mother's estate. There
are also many letters of exceeding value
and some of the bits of paper on whicli
General Grant wrote the last of his
memoirs, that splendid effort done In
hours of agony and weakness that the
temperoral welfare of his wife and dear
ones might bo secured. There Is scarce-
ly u page In the life of the hero where
his son, Fred, does not figure lovingly,
and his wife was always his Inseparable
companion. Mrs. Fred waa there in those
Bin) days at Mount MacGregor, sustain-
ing her hustiand and aJdlng all who
needed her ministrations. Her memories
of ihese things will be of great value
in future days but until the poignant
grief at losing her husband has been
softened by lime, she prefers not to
dwell on these links which she has with
the President—warrior.
But she Is fond of recalling how her
life brought her Into close touch with
men whom she esteems It a privilege
to know. Mark Twain for Instance, who
was mainly Instrumental in inducing
General Grant to undertake the task of
putting his memories of the great
struggle between the States into hook
form. Mrs. Grant has taken a cordial
Interest In all the publications relating
to these times and especially in the Life
of Mark Twain wliero the Immortal hu-
morist pays such high tribute to her hus-
band and his devotion to hla dying
father. In one of these accounts Mark
Twain describes Ills last visit to the
stricken warrior and tells that Fred
Grant had a long talk with him and told
him to tell his father how favorably the
public had received his work and how
suooessful it was bound to prove. This
praise. Fred Grant thought, coming
from a man of letters, would encourage
the sick man and lighten hla labor
Mark Twain. In hla whimsical way, told
Colonel Fred Grant as he was then, that
he ltad always felt such awe of this
mighty man and such reverence for his
martial deeds and personal worth that
he was overcome by the thought "How
do you think the cook of Columbus
would have felt If Columbus had hailed

Mra. Grant und her Mister. Mrs. Potter
Palmer, have been amon^ the social
queens of this country und the reputa-
tion of noth is international. General
Frederick Grant was made minister to
Austria by President Harrison, and
served there for five years. Here his
wife made a profound impression and
established firmly the reputation of
American women for grace and social
accomplishments. It was here too, .Julia
Dent Grant, her daughter; caught her
first glimpse of foreign life and became
a linguist as well as a hostess worthy
of the traditions set by her mother and
her aunt. Young Ulysses went to a pri-
vate academy during the Viennese days
and bad as classmates sons of dukes
and archdukes and the most exalted
youngsters of the Holy Roman empire.
Miss Julia Grant never entirely forgot
th« courtly ways of the Austrian court
and she spent much time abroad with
her cousin, Mrs. Hartoris, and afterwards
with Mrs. Palmer.
A MODEL UNION.
It was during a summer at Cannes In
France that she met Prince Cantacuzene
and the marriage which occurred the fol-
lowing summer from her mother's home
In Newport has been Ideally happy It
serves as a model union and one which
those who cry down International alli-
ances have placed before them as an
object lesson Miss Grant bad no for-
tune and though her aunt, Mrs. Palmer,
gave her a generous dower, monetary
considerations did not enter Into this
contract. General and Mrs. Fred Grant
made frequent visits to their daughter,
and General Grant had a sincere regard
for his son-in-law. Mrs. Grant spent all
of last spring and summer with the
princess and her little ones and fueling
a fear of loneliness in her bereavement,
she brought little Princess Bertha home
with her. The little girl is dainty and
exqulaitely fair, showing already the
grace and tact of her grandmother and
her Illustrious kindred In general. She
has been an Interested observer of all
that transpires In the Shoreham and is
particularly Impressed by the wife of the
Vice President. Mrs Marshall, who often
asks htr to her apartment
Mrs. Grant will spend part of the
coming summer in Newport with friends
and it may be that the Prince and
Prlncesa Cantacusene will come over for
their daughter. If this proves Impossi-
ble, Mrs. Grant will sail lu the early
autumn, returning here sometime before
