And with her brothers necktie will she stroll

daisical, leaning. dependent creature of
yore. The girls quite enjoy this new-found
independence, and they tell funny little
stories of how they manage to look out for
themselves. One pretty girl says that she
has sharp-pointed parasol-one of the
new kind with Royal Worcester handle
and that she always takes this with her
in a crowd or upon a crowded thorough
fare. Armed with such weapon she feels
that she need not plead with men for
woman's rights, for she can secure for her
self ali that she wants.
The most popular woman in New York
is Mrs. Ernestine Schaffner. Yet she is
popular in way undreamed of by those
outside of her world. Her world does not
stand high in the social status. Ii is not a
gay world and it is not bad world. On
the contrary, her world is a very good one.
and il is TO establish this fact in the minds
OF people and IN the courts of justice that
Mrs. Schatfner is devoting her life.
OF her own free will, unpaid by anyone,
she gives her time and her fortune. her
temper and her health. TO the yindication
OF those whom she believes to be falsely
imprisoned and unjustly accused of wrong
doing. Six years ago she helped q little

Singers are wearing as little as possible
when they appear as soloists. The popu-
lar Ciementine De We're, soprano in DR..
Paxton's church. and concert singer, sang
at Theodore Thomas concert Sunday
night in gown cut extremely decollete
both front and back. The back was
pointed more than half way to the waist,
and the front was low enough to reveal a
lovely vision of the wearer's exquisite neck
and bosom. Miss De We're has red gold
hair and lovely eyes. Off the stage she is
pretty and vivacious. Upon the stage she
is unassuming and dignifed. It will be
remembered that she is the highest paid
church singer in the world, getting $500
each Sunday that she sings.
Getting ones self photographed in div
ers shapes, attitudes and costumes is one
of the fevers which is now raging among
the young women in town. They must
obtain ikeneSses of themselves in every
attitude which the charm of their grace
fulness permits them to assume Backs
and arms, heads and necks, busts and
shoulders have been so wildly reproduced
and so fully shown in the show windows
that the passer-by has been led to wonder
If one of the nineteenth century accom-
plishments consists in being able to iden-
tify various parts Of the anatomy other
than the face.
In recognition of the fact that it is the
caper now to be innocent and demure in
manner. few of the slyest of the little
cheats Of girls have gone way to the other
extreme Of Photographic possibilities and
are having themselves taken in nuns
attire. Over the forehead is banded a
strip Of white muslin, smooth, fair and
pure to look upon. Over this goes the
black cloth head-gear of the nun. And
the nuns yelling is properly and ortho-
doxically draped about the head and neck.
Then the girl is ready to be photographed
as picture of womanly purity, love and
trustfulness.
These pictures are not always a success,
pretty as the description may seem, be-
cause, more often than not, the young
woman is unable to assume the devOut ex-
preston of face which the picture calls
for. She should be all, absolutely, entirely
and sacredly consecrated to all pure things
and her face should seem to say that she
has renounced the theater. the gowns and
the dance. The look is hard to get. It
requires an actress to conquer it. Maud
Branscombe, the most photographed
woman in the world, has it to perfection.
But our dear little chappy girl hasn't. A
sweet little miss sat at Broadway pho
tographer's last week for a nun picture,
but the dear little thing could not look de-
vout and consecrated She tried it, but
ended by looking pleasant" and SO
queered the whole affair.

would hire carriage to stand in front of
the door and give an air of gentility and
elegance to the house. By way of utiliz-
ing the carriage and saving car fare. they
would drive down to Washington market
on morning and bring back one quart of
potatoes and a pound of beefsteak. Was
it any wonder that young Ward found it
impossible to endure this state Of affairs
until the coming of fortune? He failed
to endure and the fortune failed to arrive,
but in the language of the street, he got
there just the same, and has secured the
leadership of the Four Hundred.
Miss Frelinghuysen, daughter of the late
secretary, is in New York, greatly inter-
ested in all doings, educational and relig-
ious. She has the kindergarten fever, and
visits the little tots often to listen to their
object lessons and to encourage them with
her sweet smile. She is tall, slender girl,
dressed in half mourning. This spring
she has put on purple. She is brunette
OF the Spanish type, with beautiful eyes,
clear-cut features and fascinating smile.
She is stylish, and suggests the grande
dame even while she resembles the fash
ionable New Yorker. at church observ-
ances she is devout, and never an appeal
for sweet charity's sake is turned from her
unanswered.
Since the young woman of the day de-
cided that she could live, move and have
good time without man always dangling

The Highest Paid Church singer
IN the World.

Ward McAllister tells funny stories Of
his youthful days, when he was living
with his aunts, the Misses Mayfair, and
was ardently hoping, trusting and praying
that time in her flight would wing to him
the fortune which lay stored in the purses
of the old ladies. They were exceedingly
penurious. That was point in his favor.
They would not be apt to squander their
peH. They did not altogether approve of
young Wards lavishness, and did not
hesitate to tell him so. That was point
against him. Could they bring themselves
to q frame of mind which would permit
them to lawfully will their cherished
hoard to . young man who would spend
thrift it away upon riotous living? His
tory tells us that they could not and did
not. Ward McAllister tells now with glee
how he managed in those days and what
frugality he saw practiced. For S week
he secured room and breakfast at the
Morton house. His lunches he foraged
for and found them uncertain. Each night
he dined out. Thus managed the leader of
the Four Hundred during his said days
when salad was less plentiful than it
might have been.
During a period of social depression,
which meant an evening when he was not
invited out, he dined with the Misses May
fair, and secured as good meal as the
friendly butler could scrape from the fru-
gal table.
Now, James, you must make one bottle
Of champagne go around at dinner to-

to her butler when preparing for . state
dinner.

w0RKMEN FROM wURTEMBERG.
The Columbian Fair Commission Said to Be
After Stuttgart Artisans.

A1Uer ArG1SanS.
Under the head of GA Result of Our In
dustrial Training School," the Tagbat of
Stuttgart, Wurtemberg, of arecent date says:
'It is surely matter of congratulation for
our royal building director, Mr.. Won Egle,
whose efforts have made the Stuttgart In
dustrial Training School the success it is,
that few days ago member of one of the
Chicago Worlds Fair committees was sent
here to engage a number of young men to
aid in the erection of the Columbian Exhi-
bition building. The commission was only
for Wurtemberg artisans, and, as we hear,
the gentleman spoken of was commissioned
to pay the men wanted (about u of them)
500 marks Cs125) each a month, pay their
passage over and back, and guarantee them
two years employment.
Hugh Mccoy, a prominent citizen of
Chicago, now located in PIttsburg, was seen
last night. He said he thought the men
must be wanted for some peculiar kind of
work that resident workmen could not do,
as Chicago is now over-fooded with work
men of all kinds. Attorney A. d. Wilkin
was also seen and asked whether this az
rangement if entered into would not con-
hict with the contract labor law. Without
knowing all the circumstances. Mr.. Wilkin
said it would be difficult to determine,
but the general inference would
be that if workmen were brought
here under contract to do any kind of work
it would be violation of the law. There
is room for technical point by reason of
the fact that the contract, if entered into at
all, was made between the, representative
of the Worlds Fair Commission and the
representative of the government having
control of the school, the latter not being
an agent whose business is to contract for
and sell labor.

a s'sick'' man. Inquiry into this charge
was promptly made. At the St. James,
Frank Lanahan, son of the proprietor,
said it was to him Quinn had applied for a
room. He said he wanted room on the
first floor, and when told there were no
available rooms on the first floor he said he
could not carry his brother to the second
and went away. Mr.. Lanahan said there
was no objection in the world to taking in
the man if he could have been suited with
room.
Has No Use for Sick People.
At the Albion the clerk on duty in the
forenoon was not there; Mcclure does not
let rooms and Weithaus said he had had
trouble before with sick people and didn't
want any of them.
Jerry Ryan came to Pittsburg Yesterday
week suffering from paralysis of the spine
of nine weeks standing. When asked last
night at the depot whether he could really
say he had been benefited by the visit to
Father Mollinger, he replied that he felt
stronger and much better
Peter McCauley, of Punxsutawney, was
among the pilgrims on the hill yesterday.
He was severely injured in the side during
the spring by some timbers falling upon
him, and since then had suffered from an
acute pain near the heart He assured THE
DISPATCH reporter last night that the pain
had completely left him and he now felt as
well as ever.
Father Mollinger spent quiet day yes
terday. His house was besieged from time
to time by people who imagined they could
obtain an audience by plausible tales, but
he denied himself to everyone. AS pre-
viously stated in THE DISPATCH, he will
see every person now desirous of visiting
him, and then go to some watering place for
rest and recovery from his long spell of
work
