Mile. Kazimir Dziekonska.


Few probably of those who read the sketch
of Marie Bashkirtsef lately published in
the Cosmopolitan recognized in the author
literary acquaintance. Mile. Kazimir
Dziekonska is a young Polish artist, who,
from the ateliers of Paris, where she worked
with the much discussed and considerably
over-rated Russian, moved her canvases and
brushes to Boston, where in very different
sort of atmosphere she has been domiciled
for two years or more, and is winning some
little reputation as portrait painter. Her
studio is very picturesque one and my
with the bright colors of Polish peasant
maids in holiday attire, Russian muzhiks
and Circassian women, whom she delights
to paint tricked out in all their bravery.
10 her Polish girls she gives beautiful fac
es, and next her countrywomen she seems
to rejoice in the warm brown skins and
liquid eyes of italian girls. She has good
Poland, Russia, Italy. Paris and the Hub of
the universe makes an odd and interesting
combination.
Mile. Dziekonska keeps a very pretty pic
ture of Marie Bashkirtsef-th one to
which she alludes in her article-in a con-
spicuous position, but she evidently does
not regard that frank young person as hav-
ing been more than frank, young, and, like
other young persons who are not SO frank,
somewhat gifted. She told me that Marie
painted, when the fit was on her, as Cos
sack fights, desperately; but that she spent
too much time on her gowns and her social
conquests and her music and her diary and
especially on her moods to accomplish as
much as less talented women. Marie was a
spoiled child and much less attractive than
her mother. Mile. Dziekonska, however, is
Pole. and had Marie not been a Russian
might view her cratic career with more en-
thusiasm

win the College Girl Marry.

Will the College Girl Marry:
Every year when the commencement sea-
son comes around somebody starts the
question. Il was fred point blank at q club
meeting the other day at Mrs. Alice Free
man Palmer, who might have been sup
posed to have answered it once and forever
since she gave up the presidency of Welles-
ley to enter into matrimony. Mrs. Palmer
said that at Harvard each class sends back
an account Of itself when it has been out of
the university three years. The last time
these statistics were collated it appeared
ed and those who left before graduation to
settle in life early, eleven per cent of the
class referred to had married within the
three years. When this result was arrived
at Mrs. Palmer was asked to go over to
Wellesley and get corresponding figures
for the girls. She did SO and found
that counting only those who had remained
to take degrees twelve per cent of the We'll
lesley class graduating the same June with
the Harvard boys had become wives. From
which she concluded that college women
were at least as favorably inclined toward
m; as college men. Mrs. Palmer
girls wo1ld marry later than other, many
of them carrying financial burdens as heavy
as those assumed by men of their own age.
Busy, happy women, absorbed in work,
they would not marry if they could help it,
which meant that when they did marry, it
would be because they loved we'll enough to
wish to marry above all other things, and
were ready, like one bright woman on a
ranch in North Dakota, to write to their
ambitious sisters: ''Some of YOU may be
college presidents and some may be doctors
and editors, but as for me, taste the full
sweetness Of success when look at my rows
of cheeses."

Women Who Smoke.

women W no SMOKE
Everybody knows that the stories of the
smoking habits of women are stretched out
of all likeness to the truth, and yet now
and then there really happens something
that is interesting. A few days ago a
woman whose books have attracted consid-
cradle attention called on a woman artist,
taking with her newspaper woman. The
artist smokes cheroots, the newspaper wo-
man enjoys cigarette, and the author, who
is herself smoker, was apologizing for
disturbing what she suspected to have been
particularly comfortable half hour and
beginning to explain that the tobacco would
shock neither her nor her companion, when
she was clutched oonvulsively by hand on
either side, and agitated voices whispered in
her ears: Don't say I smoke!' Don't
let on that am a smoker!'' Neither artist
nor newspaper woman would own to the bad
habit, and probably more women yield to
the fascination of slowly putting out blue
wreaths than would care to have the world
know of it, for public opinion is hardly pre-
pared as yet to admit the woman smoker
entirely within the pales of responsibility.

Murder and Suicide.

New YORK, Jan. I'm the German
quarter of Williamsburg a terrible double
murder and suicide was reported at noon.
A man named Franklin killed his wife
and child and then committed suicide.
A neighbor called at the sixth precinct
station house and stated that 10 member
of the Franklin family, who lived in the
rear of $50 Munger street, had been seen
since Wednesday. He thought some
thing was wrong Two officers went to
the house and one affected an entrance
through the irunt window. Passing into
the bed room, Franklin was found sitting
on the edge of a bed with a revolver
grasped in his right hand. AS the officer
was about to enter the man drove him out
of the room at the point OF the weapon.
Then a pistol shot rang out. The officer
rushed in and found Franklin had shot
himself through the breast. He was not
yet dead, but his wife and 3 year old
child were lying dead on the same bed.
Franklin died soon after. Both victims
had been shot through the heart. From
appearances they had been dead two or

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 4.-The senatorial
contest was in a great measure covered to-
day by the legislative caucus for selection
of officers of both branches. 1t is claimed
quite generally that the caucus nomina-
tons are in the interest of Brice for sena-
tor to the extent that his friends who
have been recognized candidates them
selves are making no positive claims fur
ther than tina: Brice men profess them
selves satisfied with the situation and are
not aggressive toward the other candi-
dates. Some prominence is being given
the nonresident theory against Brice,
and there is some talk of a bolt from the
caucus in case Brice is nominated, but
these reports cannot be traaed to any re-
liable source.

who returned a certificate of death from
consumption. This certificate was re

only found the cause of his death, but
recommended that DR.. Nam be held to
await the action of the grand jury for
practicing medicine without license. AS
Nam cannot get a license he is in a cor

and that they are banded together in op
