Beautiful river, in beautiful cline
Haunt that once was but no longer is mine
Born of the dew which the vesper distills
From the grasses which fringe thy meadow
rills.
What are thy beauties of ripple and song,
Beauties broadcast thy whole course along,
Fer thou emerge from the vale and the glen
Into the haunts and the knowledge of men
These we would leave unseen and unheard,
Save by the wind flower zephyr stirred,
And the titmouse fitting along thy brink,
On nodding grasses oft pausing to drink
Ours the beauties of the ripping tide
Ours theIdepths where the shadows glide,
AS from the bridge with its rafters low
We watch our image come and go,
Until it is lost in the deeper night
OF some dark cloud aska nee the light;
Ours the bend where the rapids glimmer
Above the pebbles, in the sunlight's simmer
Where the crimson and gold from the setting
Are m1rrored and blended alike, into one,
Where the woodbine unheeding the mark
thou hast set
Creeps lower and broader and farther yet
Until it has dipped its tendri1s slight
Into thy waters, all pure, all bright,
And woven thy banks with verdent green,
Resplendent with dew in the mornings sheen.
oh beautiful river in beautiful cline,
Flow in us and make us more pure, more
sublime,
More strong in our purpose, more patient
and free,
More deep in our love, more cheerful like

as class Our Moser did good thing for him
self and us when he so unexpectedly ''sprung''
that attractive collection of pictures upon the
public last winter, christening it "First An
nual." True to his promise, and inspired by
the success of last year, he will open to thepub-
lie his "Second Annual' on Monday, at the
Fisher Art Store, opposite the Treasury. A
glimpse around there yesterday afternoon was
convincing proof that this artist has made
marked improvement in some directions, and
that this is a collection of larger more serious
work than last year. There is charming little
"Pool in the Meadow" purchased recently by
Mrs. President Harrison, at the artists studio

treated-a willow tree and pool of water,
characteristic OF Jersey anywhere, though it is

"The Seagull's Message is one of the finest
bits of painting. 1t is fanciful, and one readily
sees that no deeper signiagance underlies the
motive than beauty harmony of delicate lines

going to town through the snow with 'possums

The best figure painters never lack ability TO

that figures are his forte. My theory is, draw
well, and If one have the color faculty painting

end OF this doing anything and everything: will
you ever form style which the world will

was characteristic of this genial, energetic ar
list, "now you come to just what / ana

SENSIBLE CLUB.
The Emergency Glass, one having a very
practically useful bearing as the object, was
through q series of lectures to instruct the fash
ionable audience on the speediest and most eff
ficacious remedies to be employed in the case of
sudden bruises, burns, or broken limbs, where
the immediate attendance of physician is not
practicable. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Morton,
Madame Romero, Mrs. Senator Mcmillan, and
Mrs. John W. Foster were among the large
number of interested listeners who gathered
once week to listen to the extemporaneous
lectures of the young physician selected for this
purpose AT these meetings the ladies were
questioned in regard to the subject discussed,
and such OF them as cared to do SO assisted the
physician in the adjustment of bandages, sup
ports, and straps for keeping the broken limbs
in proper position until the services of IA doctor
could be secured. For this purpose it was Gus
tomary to engage as model some ragged urchin,
10 whom the money paid for his services in this
respect seemed small fortune. Accounts of
these meetings having gotten into the papers,
the young physician found himself besleged in
all quarters from people living in remote
country districts to have his talks TO the Emer-
geney Glass embodied in pamphlet form, in Or
der that the practical application of his sugges-
tions might be available to those who stood In
actual need of just such lectures

CLUBS IN FRENCH AND SPANISH
The French Class was another popular assem-
blage Of last season, and one of the few which
held its meetings in the evening. AS may be
imagined, it was largely composed of the for
eign element of Washington societyrepresented
by the Diplomatic Corps, and membership out
side of that august body was limited to such of
the younger members of Washington society as
conversed luently in the French language as
spoken In Paris Miss Batcheler, daughter of
the present Minister to Portugal, was a promi-
nent member Among the most memorable
entertainments given the French Glass was that
of Countess Sponneck, wife of the Danish Min
lister.
The Spanish Glass held its meetings in the
morning, and, unlike the French Class, was
wholly lacking in the male element though
composed OF no less charming set of women,
among whom We're Madame Romero, Mrs. Don
Cameron, Mrs. Senator Cockrell Mrs. ex- Min
lister Foster, Miss Ida Thompson, and large
contingent of the Spanish-speaking South
Americans.
COOKING CLUBS AND TWENTY FIyE-CENT FEAsTs.
A breakfast class of twelve, with the limita-
tion at each feast fixed at three dollars, thus
making it imperative on the hostess to provide
course breakfast at twenty-five cents per capita,
was one of the short-liyed experimental organi-
cations of last season which will hardly be re-
vived this Lent. Another similar organization,
known as the Breakfast Club, with the Iimita-
ton of six dollars for expenditure on each oc-
casion, was likewise ill-fated. Born In merriest
laughter, it was doomed to expire in much
gnashing of teeth, in which envy, hatred,
malice, and all manner of uncharitableness had
part. The initial breakfasts were voted great
successes, and then the little rift within the
Lutte was formed by the accusation from one of
the organizers that things were not being con-
Quoted on that scale of strict honesty and econ
omy which had characterized her feasts. These
accusations taking definite forms, were to the
effect that the various butchers, bakers, and
candlestick- Makers patronized by certain host
esses, had, upon close questioning, admitted
the fact that, although the choice cuts of meat
and hot-house vegetables furnished by them
had really been sold at the absurdly small price
indicated on the bill-of-fare, the circulation of
which among the guests at the close of the meal

not regard the score made by Yale against

against them a week ago by PRINCETON as
safe criterions by which the relative
strength of the Yale and Princeton
elevens can be Judged. They believe that
