Walter D. Denegre of ‘‘ Villa Crest,’? West Manches- 
ter, has just returned from the South, where he was cal 
led because of the death at New Orleans of his mother, 
the widow of James D.. Denegre. She was ninty-two 
years of age.. Her death marks the passing of one of 
the grand dames of New Orleans and the oldest repre- 
sentative of a family conspicuous in life of that city for 
many years: Mrs. Denegre was a noted beauty in her 
youth and womanhood. She married in 1837 James D. 
Denegre, who for fifteen years prior to his death in 1865, 
was president of the Citizens’ Bank, which his great 
abilty made the most noted bank of the South at that 
time. Shortly after the occupation of New Orleans by 
the Federal Army, Mr. Denegre was exiled by order of 
General Banks, and settled in Belgium. His death left 
his widow the head of a family of thirteen children, the 
eldest of whom was twenty-six. Returning to New Or- 
leans at the close of the war, Mrs. Denegre devoted her 
efforts to the care and education of her children, her 
life being a signal example of that dignity, ability and 
character, which in so many instances has marked the 
heads of the old families of the South. Of the thirteen 
children, ten survive, as do also thirteen grandchildren 
and twenty-five great grandchildren. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter are leaving the North

Mrs. L. Z. Leiter is to remain on the Shore until well 
along in October, attending to the furnishing of her new
