Women Who Play Tennis Well.

The lady champions are the growth

nexes to the large athletic and cricket
clubs in the vicinity Of our large cities,
fostered by the judicious coaching Of
their male friends. Thus we find Miss
Adeline K. Robinson, the lady champion

Ward, the two Misses Jansen promi-
nent in tennis circles on Staten Island,
where the chief clubs are the S. l.
Cricket club, the S. l. Athletic club, the
North Shore T. G. and the Clifton T. G.
The clubs along the banks of the Hudson
river muster strong enough to form an
association and hold a championship
tournament
Among this set Mr. E. C. Sands and
Clarence Hobart hold the premier hon

4 Oneer Young XTnrna IN

On street car recently my attention
was attracted bya tall young woman
with the air and manner Of an actress,
who came into the car as If she expected
instant admiration and homage from all
beholders. She was not handsome, but
she had striking appearance. \ single
glance would tell any one that she was
q reader Of the erotic literature of the
day. Her dress was peculiar From
shoulder to foot she was covered by a
sea green velvet cloak. Russct shoes
with pointed toes ircssed her feet Her
hair was frowzy with little curls, and
hung about in utterly utter abandon.
Her head was covered with soft white
hat-a mans hat-which had been
crushed into a point at the front and
turned up in the rear. and only needed

Two Paris FashionabIe..

IF a Frenchwonan is informed that
the Duchess Dues OF Princess de Sagan
has had costumes like this, and that
they stood without a complaint while
they were pinned and basted, then she
feels that she has made a success. These
two women more than any others in so
ciety set the stamp on special fashions,
and each is as eccentric as possible. The
Duchess dues is said to be direct de-
scendant Of Louis XIV and Nine. de
Montespan, and this may account for
some Of her eccentricities. She is de-
voted to hunting, and is said to possess
the finest pack of stag hounds in France,
while it is announced that she can drive
a four in hand with as much art as any
man. Princess de Sagan is a little diff
ferent, being essentially a woman of the
world and, what is more, a charming
hostess. Her costumes are the delight Of
Paris, for when she is driving the small
est shopkeeper out for holiday feels
personal pride in her and her appearance
that is as odd as it is admirable

Active Though Seventy Years Old.


The active presidency of one New York
publishing association is held by a wom-
an who is more than 20 years old. Mrs.
Charlotte Wells 'vas early associated in
the business started by her brothers, the
Messrs. Fowler, more than half cent
ury ago. She alone Of the family re-
mains in the organization. As president
of the Fowler & Wells company she is
known as G. T. Wells. AS early as her
Goth year Miss Charlotte began the study
of phrenology, aad soon came to New
York with her brother, who had already
made a business beginning in this city.
Her connection with the publishing
house then established has continued
uninterruptedly from that time. In 1874
she married Mr. Wells, who had entered
into business with the Fowler brothers.
In 1865 O. S. Fowler withdrew from
the business, and when the war broke
out Mr.. Wells was in Europe with the
remaining brother. The establishment
was conducted Ky Mrs. Wells during
period of great difficulty. Her husband
died in 1915.
Until recently Mrs. Wells had read all
the manuscripts and proofs of the entire
series of books and journals published
by the house. She has shown great reg
ularity in business habits.-New York

Plumes has Just brought out ITS new
color card, which contains sixty-six
shades. Heiotropes have been given the
best places, a proof that these viii be IA
vorite shades during the coming season.
Blues come next in number, while the
representatives or the green and red fam
lies have taken Lack seats and will be
rather neglected. The color card con-
tains some brown shades in new effects.
Of course not all the sixty-six colors are
new, or even novel gradations Of old
colors. There are, however, several
which are entirely new.
Entirely new shades are verveine. a
medium heliotroloe; bluet, strong but
somewhat light blue; dauphin, a new
darhsh reseda; paroquin, light brown,
and triton, blush gray shade. Dattir
is the name Of new color which is a
cross between olive and sulphur yellow.
Heliotropes are represented in the color
card by eight shs4des, OF which dahlia is
the darkest and PerSe the highest;
salome is heioirope with blush tinge.
The blue family mss ten representatives,
Of which the well known ciel, or sky
blue, is the hghtest. and marine blue the
darkest. Bluet II expected to become a
very fashionable color, and ibelule, a
grayish blue, viii also be much worn.
Few new shades are found among the
reds. The light coqueicot is already
as well known as the dark grenat Rose
and azalee are Old favOrites. The two
old roses, tulip~ and glaieul, are old
friends under ne-g names. The reddish
browns, fauvette and bouvreuil, are al
ready known. The only novelty is pivor

which is pleasing but not striking Ca

Chicago Women and Education.

Chicago women are actively interested
in the improvement Of the public schools

against adverse influence in high places
do not propose to give up the battle. A
meeting was held not long since, under
the auspices of the Illinois Woman's
alliance, at which representatives of 100

were made by leading men and women.
The result was that ten judges of the
city united in petition to the mayor
