Show 5 Inez Milholland Boissevain i HPHE death of Mrs. Boissevain is a world mis- fortune. She was surrounded by an Indescrib able fascination. Beautiful women would follow her on the street to mark her beauty and grace; I she had every charm of person and feature and was Illuminated by a mind that in private and I on the rostrum alike, took captive those who watched and listened. i Then her character was as high as her beau ty and attainments were great. She moved among men and women a veritable queen and was a constant con-stant reminder of the descriptions given of Madame de Recamier, before whom beautiful women bowed In profound admiration and at whose feet statesmen, great soldiers, inspired writers, and kings and princes bound in captivity. And she was gentle and sweet, as she was overwhelmingly beautiful and brilliant. She should have lived for yet a half century. |
