Demorest's Family Magazine DEMOREST’S FAMILY MAGAZINE. Ho. CCCXLI. NOVEMBER, 1891. Vol. XXVIII., No. 1 FAMOUS BEAUTIES OF THE SOUTH. T HE “ New South” is a land of startling paradoxes, pretty imperiousness of mien, the proud self-security, that of most egregious contradictions. Differing cli- underlies every varying mood, since noblesse oblige.

This new condition of affairs, the result of a natural evo­ lution, is a welcome one. Yet there are those, inbred with centuries of conservatism, who fain would stretch forth a detaining hand, who cry, “ Old things are best, old mem­ ories hallowed: the new era is iconoclastic. Surely senti­ ment and beauty and faith count as highly in the sum total of human weal as temporal gain. Must all the poetry of our fair, brave land be wrested from her?” Who can foresee? And yet the crowning characteristic of the old regime remains immutable. It is that innate chivalry, that gentleness and reverence toward all woman­ kind, which stamps the Southern man and confers within itself a sacred knighthood. Chivalric regard for woman is an inevitable equipment of the true Southern man, of whatever condition in life. It is an ethical attribute, un­ affected by extraneous circumstances. It is the Southern woman herself who has engendered it. As long as the Southern woman is the creature she is, the men will be chivalrous. As long as men are chivalrous, the Southern woman will be what she is,—lovely of person, gracious of manner, noble of purpose. May not even phys­ ical beauty, especially feminine physical beauty, be encour­ aged by congenial mental environments? Isn’t a fair girl the fairer for the flush on her cheek and the light in her eyes born of a consciousness of power to please? The co­ quetry, the pretty, slow trick of speech, the picturesque taste in personal adorning, the thousand subtle witcheries of which the Southern woman is capable, have been fostered by gallantry which approves and encourages. Heredity, too, has brought her, through ancestors of high degree, the MRS. SALLIE WARD DOWNS. 4 DEMOREST'S FAMILY MAGAZINE. and all the pleasant things she lives amongst have merged their influence into her own fair personality. It is the co-operation of these various forces that has pro­ duced the exquisite type of Southern womanhood of which Miss Adele Horwitz is an exponent. Miss Horwitz is an emanation of Baltimore, that city renowned for lovely women. She is the only daughter of a distinguished law­ yer, and granddaughter of the late Dr. Gross of Philadelphia, the most eminent American surgeon of his day. At every fashionable resort Miss Horwitz has been a power. The women marvel at her bewildering toilets, and the men suc­ cumb in legions. There is a radiance, an effulgence, a certain magnetic quality in her beauty, that fascinates, and makes other MRS T. G.

She is tall and sinu­ ous, with an alertness of physique and a certain chic and diablerie—there are no English synonyms—which make her an incomparably charming woman. The beauty of the women of Kentucky, which is a proverb, a foregone conclu­ sion, was never more notably typified than in the case of Mrs. Sallie Ward Downs, the greatest toast and belle, perhaps, the charmed section ever pro­ duced. Her career has been a series of gay triumphs since she made her first fluttering courtesy to society as the lovely Sallie Ward of Louisville, in crinoline and furbelows, before the war began. Her history is as checkered and eventful as that of a nation. She is rich in all worldly experience and in those subtle qualities which constitute the most po­ tent fascination.

Like Ninon de L’Enclos, Mrs. Downs has made a truce with time, and retained the graces of her youth. Truly, “Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety,” and Mrs. Sallie Ward Downs will go down to posterity as one of the most notable women of her day. In Mrs. T. G.

As lovely Alice Brannin she " spread her conquest far,” nor is her dominion less assured now that she is a demure young matron, the wife of a wealthy man much her senior. She is one of those rare women with an influence and a fascination that defies limitation or analysis. One need not reason, he only feels that Mrs. Gaylord is one of the most charming of her sex.

Her two grandfathers, Hon. James Lyons and William Deane, were among the most distinguished Virginians of their day. Her father was an eminent medical practitioner, and her mother a brilliant war-time belle. With two older sisters, scarcely less fair to see than her own seductive self, Miss Loulie Lyons makes a captivating triangle of beauty at the picturesque Ashland home. She is a coquette, from the rose in her hair to the buckle on her tiny slipper. She is tactful and witty and sympathetic, with soft, caressing cadences in her voice, and ways that enchant. Her hair is the color of ripe wheat, and her eyes are the blue of harvest skies. Her features are absolutely perfect in proportion and contour. She might well be labelled “ Flawless.” Miss Lyons creates a fureur wherever she goes, and is frequently quoted as one of the most notable of American beauties. New Orleans, that city of lovely daughters, finds noblest representation, perhaps, in Mrs. Delos Mellen, who is con­ ceded to be phenomenally fair, and who is the center of a brilliant and cultured social circle. Mrs. Mellen, until two years ago Corinne Costillanos, is a creole, as her name would indicate, laying double claim to that picturesque distinction, since her mother is of French and her father of Spanish MISS LOUISE BRAUGHN. descent. Disregarding the congenital obligation which 6 DEMOREST’S FAMILY MAGAZINE Besides the beauty which has won her such renown, Mrs. Mellen has attainments which in themselves would bring, unaided, a lavish quota of social power.

    THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CHILE 1810-1823 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY BUTLER ALFONSO JONES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1938 / ' ' I // / ii PREFACE The most casual study of the relations between the United States and the Latin American republics will indicate that the great republic in the north has made little effort to either understand the difficulties that have sorely tried her younger and less powerful neighbors or to study their racial characteristics and customs with the friendly appreciation necessary to good relations between states. Nor is it sufficient in a democracy where public opinion plays an important part in foreign affairs to confine know¬ ledge of foreign policies and peoples to the select few who make up the go¬ vernment. Such understanding should be widespread among the peoples them¬ selves, so that public opinion, based upon an intelligent comprehension of the facts, can aot as a lever towards more friendly cobperation, rather than as a spur to jealous and rival aspirations. To bring about this better re¬ lationship, v/hich can be accomplished only by a better mutual understanding, every avenue of approach should be utilized. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize one of the avenues of approach by presenting, in an objective man¬ ner, the story of the early relations of the United States with what, in some respects, is the most powerful of the Latin American nations and, in all respects, is the most stabilized of our South American neighbors.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

Because of time and space limitations this paper is limited to Cheney Brothers' activities in New York City which are, but a fraction, of a much larger story. Brothers and beginnings Like many other enterprising Americans in the 1830s, brothers Charles (1803-1874), Ward (1813-1876), Rush (1815-1882), and Frank (1817-1904), Cheney became engaged in the time consuming, difficul t business of raising silk worms until they discovered that speculation on the morus morticaulis, the white mulberry tree upon which the worms fed, might be far more profitable. As with all high profit operations the tree business was a high-risk venture, throwing many investors including the Cheney brothers, into bankruptcy.
