MRS. ADLAI STEVENSON.

Who Occapies the Pogition of “Second Lady of tho Land.” One of the most jnotherly and loyal women at the nation's capital is Mrs. Adlai Stevensdn, wife of the

Vice President of the United States, who as a leader of Washington society stands second only to Mrs. Cleveland. At the time of her marriage Mrs. Stevenson was a beautiful young woman, as is evidenced by a portrait of her which hangs in the parlor of 1 the Stevenson home. It represents her in a gown such as ladies wore before the war. The skirt is full and spreading and the bodice is cut low and without sleeves. She stands erect in a stately pose. Her hair, parted in the center and combed hack in a simple fashion, notably enhances her beauty. Her hair is still almost as black as it was in tho-e days. Mrs. Stevenson is a woman of unusual education. She enjoyed opportunities in her youth that very few women of those days enjoyed. Her father was Dr. Lewis Green, President of Central College, in Danville, Ky., and he was determined that she should lack nothing in the way of an education to make her a perfect woman. She made good use of the opportunities he gave her. She is a w.iman of great charity and gives largely to all good works. So far as lavish entertaining is concerned Mrs. Stevenson does not attempt to make a mark, but her home is a popular one. She is ably seconded in her social duties by three beautiful daughters, Mary Ewing Stevenson, Letitia Ewing Stevenson, and Julia Scott Stevenson, and one son, Lewis Green Stevenson.
