“ Her home, which, since her marriage, has been continually in Clermont, is a temple of hospitality. While Mrs. Larrabee is averse to frivolous pleasures, she possesses all the graces of a true hostess and leader in refined society. She forms positive opinions upon all questions agitating the public mind, but is always a lenient critic and a merciful judge. Though not a member of any religious denomination, she is deeply religious in her nature. ”

“ She is interested in Sunday-school and temperance work, yet her innate love for humanity expends itself chiefly in those words of kindness ana deeds of charity which shun public applause, and find their reward solely in an approving conscience. ”
