The Great Stocking Show.


All the men who 90 to the races nowadays
i haven't been and speak from hearsayz
are enthusiastic.
About the horses? No; no more thar
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. Only there is this difference. The
respectable element of feminity hasn't
quite adopted racing yet as in England or
France. The soiled sisters do not quite
have things their own way, but nearly 30.
Hence the dressing is loud, particularly the
stockings.
One wouldn't suppose. in this season of
long dresses, that stockings would be visi-
BILE, but my informant assures me that
When one leg is carelessly crossed,
man-fashion, above the other, a con-
siderable length is revealed be-
tween the dainty low slipper and the skirts
discreet hem. The slipper itself is often
embroidered. The stocking is in any shade
that fancy may suggest, embroidered with
the most gorgeous flowers. A common de-
sign may be-so it has been described to
me; l haven't been there to see and
wouldn't so take an Intentionally advan-
tage of a lady's inadvertenoe as to look if
l were-a vine running up the
ankle, branching out above where
there is more room and bearing
gorgeous flowers, roses red and lilies yellow
and other things. Seems to me that stock
ipgs are the last place to lavish ornamental
tions, but 80 I'm told.

Thomas b. Clarke's Venture.

Why in the world should anyone find, or
affect to find, anything undignifed or out
of the way in Thomas B. Clarke's reported
determination to enter into business as a
picture dealer? Have we 81 obs in the
country? Is there any moral difference
between buying pictures for a %'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 com paratively modest
fortune to encourage native art than Seney,
Vanderbilt, Hilton and all the rest of them,
who want nothing that does not cost thou
sands 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-
which alone they need. The
best of them paint as we'll as the French
men. Benjamin Constant found that to be
true in lnness' case, and there are others
MS good as Inness. ss

An "Old Fashioned Man,

There is in New York a business man who
does not send out letters typewritten by the
clicking machine worked by the young
woman with bangs. Every letter he sends
is neatly written out with pen by his pri-
vate secretary, and when it comes in it's I'M
usual d~elicacy of script with the business
mans heavy signature scrawled boldly
across the bottom of the sheet the man who
recelvesit feels az if no had been PERSONAL

/ sat In this mans Office recently, idly
watching the pale young secretary write
letter after letter, until a big heap lay be-
fore him. When the last ono was finished
he threw his notes into the waste basket
with IL sigh of relief, put away the tino gold
steel ''stub," and after n few preliminary
hourisLes, began forging his employers
bold and somewhat peculiar signature with
some rapidity and considerable skill. At
about the sixth repetition of the name he
picked up the sheet and held it out to mo.
