Verne Noyes of 34 Lincoln Park boulevard Chicago discussing Mrs Frances Annstrongwoods book Truisms which contains a most severe and as many persons think un rair arraignment of Chicago society men women and manners I aont think that Mrs Woods can nave been or is a member of real Chi cago society If she were shed have a heart continued Mrs Noyes Id rather not talk aboflt society Real society in Chicago is not weighed by money Cash is not the desideratum Intelligence worth and character are the grand factors of Chicago society Chicago Is ah art center 11a pictures and sculptures owned by leaders In Chica go society are tamous the world over Music has more thought and has made more progress in Chicago than almost anywhere else in America It was Chi cago society that held upTheodore Thom as and his orchestra It built Orchestra Hall Where do you see finer art for the public than in the Art Institute Who nas given llDerally to ItT Chicago society It Is silly to say that Chicago his no heart that its society Is devoid of any virtue greater than millions Id rather you wouldnt quote me I donteare to taiK in tne newspapers If Mrs Wopds were a member of real Chicago society and were one of Its leaders she would know better how to describe It I am glad If there Is no aristocracy In Chicago There is however an aristocracy of Intellect and brogress In Chicaeo In science literature and art and Chicago has society to thank for it and this progress of which I speak This Is a land of free men and women and such can aspire to and attain leadership In society wiwout naving coats ot arms or blue blood Ot course good old families are proud of their ancestry Why should not they be proud But shams thrive In Chicago or Mrs Woods wouldnt have her book printed Truly I havent the Jionor of knowing Mrs Woods nor have I read her book but I read the criticism and the ex cerpts from It For my part I can only say Chicagos true society Is a coterie of bright men and women who recognize true manhood and true womanhood and not money as their god I am sorry for Mrs Woods and her book What means this report that John 8 Sargent the painter of fair women and strong men is to abandon
