WASHINGTON LETTER. Business and Society. 1'RO1iIINE;VT WOlaLF,N 'WHO DISMAYN AI'TITEJDE IN MONr•:1 1,i.1,TTI1i9. Sonne rumors which are believed to be entirely groundless connecting the name .of James G. Blaine, Jr., with Miss Patten, as the prineiprls in a wedding fixed for the near future, have called attention to the family to which the supposed bride belongs. It is not thought that Mr. Blaine, who is now the only .surviving son of the great Maine statesman, contem- plates another matrimonal venture. As will be recalled he was divorced several years ago from his young wife, who subsequently married. a physican in New York city, Mr. Blaine, who is nearly thirty years of age, bas no regular occupation, his last employment being a clerkship in the office of the Pennsylvania rail- road in the city. He would be considered fortunate in more respects than one if the rumor in regard to his marrying Miss Patten was correct. The lady is not only wealthy, but she is a capable business woman and looks atter the affairs of the family estate with a good deal of shrewdness. She is the youngest of four daughters, one hav- ing married a former member of Congress from a western state. After the death of her )nether, Miss Patten's business talent was developed, and now she is considered to have excel- lent judgment in regard to property values. The holdings of the Patten estate in this section of the country consists largely of Washington real estate: As is well known, the Pattens came from California, where the father made a fortune. It is not unusual to find women who, while taking a prominent part in moiety also display aptitude for business, and really prove successful in the management of important interests. The late Justice Strong left three daughters, two of them be- ing unmarried. While Judge Strong was not a wealthy 'man in modern meaning of that word, still he had a comfortable fortune and was the owner of considerable real estate. The care of this property will natur- ally devolve upon the daughters and; it is believed that they are fully equal to the emergency. There areother instances which might be mentioned if it were neces- sary to prove the fact that women are capable of managing business affairs. There are numerous repre- sentatives of the fair sex in active 'business. In spite, however, of these facts, people entertain a delusion that women are easily misled in business matters, and as soon as it is found that 'the care of money devolves upon a woman then sharpers put in an 'appearance and ndeavor to get a hold of Some Of it. . A good deal has been said in the newspapers recent y in regard to the misfortunes of the daughter of the late Chief Justice Chase. An appeal has been made in •ler behalf to the friends of her dis,iuguished father, and they have con ributed towards a fund which is desi ned to preserve for the use of the daughter the home near this city which was occupied for so many• rs yea by the Chief Justice. An extr agant method of living and lack of ood management are the causes whi li brought about the sad condition in which Mrs. Chase now finds erself. She bad lived beyond her r1 ans with a reck- less disregard for ti future and it is only the kindness of people who revere a tl] o memory f th • that n ,yherfather has saved her from he usual cense- methods. , . ___ Wn tT LORD RosEliMtY THINKS- -The Earl of Rosel1erry is such an important personag just now, and be holds such a hi h plaee in the public regard, that. it is of ,;rent moment to know hvhat he thinks uponany great question.
