THOMAS R. cLARKE's VENTURE.

Why in the world should any one fiud, or
affect to find, anything undignified or out
of the way in Thomls B. Clarke's reported
determination to enter into business as a
picture dealer? Have we snobs in the coun-
try? Is there any moral difference be-
tween buying pictures for ''sale." as
Seney has twice done, and dealing In them
directly?
Mr. Clarke has been hitherto only a
buyer for his own galleries. he has spent
thousands Of dollars for good pictures-good
American pictures. He has done more with
his comparatively modest fortune to en-
courage native art than Seney, Vanderbilt,
Hilton and all the rest of them, who want
nothing that does not cost thousands for the
French name in the corner Clarke has
bought pictures, not names; if he continues
the practice as a dealer and so encourages
American talent, artists will be profoundly
grateful and no one will have cause to
grumble except the dealers who make big
commissions on foreign pictures.
More power to the elbow of him who will
give the American painters the material en-
couragement which alone they need. The
best of them paint as we'll as the French
men. Benjamin Constant found that to be
true in Inness' case, aid there are others as
good as InneSs.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-08-16
THE GREAT STOCKING SHOW.

All the men who go to the races now
adays-I haven't been, and speak from
hearsay-are enthusiastic.
About the horses2 No; no more than
usual, but about the women's stockings.
which are a whole show by themselves.
1t is getting TO be as much the thing now
for women to wear stunning costumes at
the track as it Is at the Ascot or the Grand
Prix. Oaly there is this difference: The
respectable element Of femininitv hasn't
quite adopted racing yet as in England or
France. The lied sisters do not quite have
things their own way, but nearly 50. Hence
the dressing is loud, particularly the stock
ings.
One wouldn't suppose, in this season of
long dresses, that ST ockings would be visible,
but my informant assures me that when
one leg is carelessly crossed, msn-fashion,
above the other, considerable length is
revealed between the dainty low slipp ar
and the skirts, discreet hem. The slipper
itself is often embroidered. The stockings
are in any shade that fancy may suggest,
embroidered with the most gorgeous flow
ers. A common design may bo-so it has
been described to me; | haven't been there
too see and wouldn't so take an ungentls-
manly advantage of ladv's inadvertanc9 as
to look if l were-a vine running up the
ankle, branching out above whore there is
more room and bearing gorgeous flowers,
roses red and lilies yellow and other things
Seems to me that stockings are the last
place to lavish Communications, but so I'm
. told,
