An American Lady's Enterprise.

An American lady, Californian art
ist, had the proud distinction of being
the first to enter the pit for the opening
performance of Henry VIII at the Ly-
ceum. Asked how she accomplished this
feat, she replied: II and friend went
with our camp stools and took our places
next the door at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. We were provided with a volume
of an American magazine, u sketch book,
writing paper and fountain pen, carica-
lures of Henry Irving and much pa
tience. A newspaper spread under the
feet and japanese muff warmer, with
sandwiches and bottle of wine, kept us
comfortable. Two ladies were the next
comers. and shortly crowd began to
collect. Real amusing it was, but not
very elegant.
"After about two hours Mr.. Bran Sto-
ker came and had look at us, said the
barrier should be put up and cheered our
hearts by telling us that tea would be
served from the neighboring public
house. A newspaper man enlightened
our neighbors on the misery and immo-
rality in the Bowery at New York. Fl
nally mustered up courage to say, Guess
you didn't see many Americans there.
No. he was forced to reply, at which

was superb, and the audience-well,
every one looked as if he had done some

Two wealthy New York Women.

Mrs. Russell Sage is a graduate Of
Mrs. Wizards school at Troy She
taught school herself for some years be-
fore her marriage in what is now the
Oogentz school, near Philadelphia. She
speaks in clear, well bred voice, ex-
quisitely modulated, but full of dignity
and decision. She is president of the
Emma Willard Alumng Association of
New York, and shows with affectionate
pride large Photographic portrait Of
her preceptress taken from the only en-
graved one that ever came near to doing
that eminent lady justice. There is a
warm friendship between Mrs. Sage and
Miss Helen Gould, the daughter of Jay
Gould, who in her own youthful way is
every whit as admirable as the elder
lady.
Miss Gould has one of those delicate,
appealing faces that instantly arouse
the instinct of chivalrous courtesy in all
beholders. She, too, has that excellent
thing in a woman, voice soft, gentle
and low. The railroad magnate's daugh-
ter is averse to newspaper mention of
herself, and says so with such gentle
dignity as to silence any interviewer
who has even the ghost of conscience.

CLUB LIFE FOR WOMEN.

Some of the Duties That Devolve ON
Every Member of Woman's Club.
It has been playfully said that certain
women are "clubable," while others are
not so. Some women are willing and
able to obey the laws and regulations Of
club and enjoy their membership from
the first moment. Others who are less
social or more thoughtless or willful,
fret against the necessary restraints
which are imposed upon them, and an
noy their fellow members and themselves
by factious opposition, or by careless
disregard of the ethical and moral code
which governs all organized bodies.
When we remember the ideas which
until very recently have governed the
education of women, we cannot be sur
prised at this state of things. Our sex
was taught to think that it was its mis-
sion and duty to please, and thus to win
privileges which were much more desir-
able-according to the old theory-than
rights. Now, to be capricious-to be
all things by turn and nothing long
was held to be an important part of the
art of pleasing,
One of the most important functions
of club life is that of making women
take serious view of one and another
and of themselves, and of banishing
from their minds the old and false idea
that capricious responsibility was an
essential part of feminine nature. | do
not mean to say that many women now
consciously hold this theory; but they
are still more or less governed by it, al
though they would probably be surprised
if one should tell them so. The leaven
of an old idea does not lose its power at
once, but dies out very gradually.
The reasoning powers of our sex are
not yet fully developed, because they
have, until recently, received little ex-
ercise. 1t results from these two causes
that women who are new to club mem
bership-and some, perhaps, who are
not new to it-are occasionally illogical
in their behavior: they blame other mem
bers for carrying out the laws of the
organization, and perhaps do not even
take the trouble to find out what those
laws arel
1t should be the first duty of the new
member to tread, mark, and inwardly
digest" the constitution or rules of the
body to which she has united herself,
and to refrain from all factious opposi-
ton thereto. The government of free
club-like that of a free countrywide
rives it's power from the consent of the
governed" 1t is certainly desirable that
reforms and changes should be made
from time to time, and every member
should be at liberty to express her opin
ion fully and freely-at the right time,
and in the right place.
Club life teaches women that higher
politeness which does away with insin-
cerity, and shows them how to express a
difference of opinion with frankness,
and yet with courtesy. Thus, if the
chairman of tho body has made hasty
decision or an unfair ruling, the woman
who is familiar with the workings of the
club will appeal, in courteous manner,
from the decision Of the chair; whereas
the new member would, under the same
circumstances remain silent at the mo-

SENATE PRoCEEDINGs.
The Dubois-C -Claggett Contest Furthe
Considered.


The Dubois Claggett Contest Further
Considered.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The senate to-
day passed bill to protect foreign ex-
hibitors at the worlds fair from prosecu-
tion for exhibiting wares protected by
American patents and trade marks.
A resolution was agreed to, calling on
the president for information as to the
late proceedings to arrange for recipro-.
cal trade with Canada.
Manderson, referring to what is known
as the green goods business, said
there was no law on the statute books to
reach that crime, and introduced three
bills with a letter from the chief of the
secret service division of the treasury
Department. intended to remedy it. The
bills were referred to the judiciary COM
mittee.
The senate resumed the Idaho election
case, and was addressed by Stewart in
favor of the claim of Claggett.
Stewart suspended his remarks at
3:10 to allow the presidents special
message on the Columbian exposition
to be laid before the senate. 1t was re-
ferred to the quadro-centennial commit
tee.
At the close of his speech, Stewart Of
fered resolution that Claggett have
leave to occupy seat on the floor of the
senate, pending the discussion of the re-
port, and have leave to speak to the
merits of his claim to seat. Laid over
until tomorrow.
Turpie addressed the senate in sup
port OF the majority report-that Dubois
is entitled to the seat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Speaker Crisp
called the house to order today.
A resolution was adopted directing
the committee on labor to investigate
whether the continuance of the eight
hour law and its enforcement is desira-
BILE; by what methods and
to what extent the law has
been evaded; whether amendments
are required to provide for the practical
enforcement of the law, whether any
convict labor is being used by the
United States, or any contractor or sub
contractor, in the construction or repair
of public works; whether the product
of convict labor is being furnished to
any department of the government, etc.
The house then went into committee
ofthe whole on the Indian appropria-
tion bill.
Smith of Arizona offered an amend
ment to the clause appropriating SAC, 900
for the purpose of irrigating Indian res
ervations, by providing that this sum
be deducted from the appropriations
made for the support of Indian
schools east of the Missouri river.
He referred to what he characterized a
''scurrilous attack" made upon certain
members because they deemed it proper
to criticize the Carlisle school. 1t had
been stated in the attack that members
had been under Catholic influence. He
was not by name alluded to, but he was
opposed to this system OF education
without ever having heard word from
such source. He opposed the system
OF education of Indians in the east, be-
cause he knew the system was failure.
He withdrew his amendment for the
present.
Pendleton of West Virginia, whose
name was mentioned inss superintendent
Pratt's interview, declared that he had
never been approached, directly or in
directly, by hint or innuendo, by any
Catholic to induce him to criticize the
Carlisle school. He criticized the school
because he believed it proper to do 30.
After disposing of forty-six of the
sixty pages of the bill, the committee
arose.
On motion of Sayres of Texas the SEN
ate amendment to the census de efciency
bill was non-concurred in and q confer
ence committee ordered.
The house then adjourned, and the
clerk announced meeting" of the
Democratic members to be held tomor-
row evening, at which the silver ques-
ton and the advisability of pressing the
free coinage bill before the general cleo
tions will be the subject of considera-
tiOn.

Courage. Girl Graduates.

The most recent discovery (regarding
women) is that brains are not incompati-
BILE with charm and beauty.
Ibid not expect, however, to live to
hear of mans rushing after woman
and insisting upon marrying her on the

All young women who have been secret
ly pining to be as clever as they knew
how, but didn't dare for fear of fright
ening off possible suitors, may now take
heart and put their brains as well as their
bodies on exhibition.

Memphis paper offered prize of twen-
ty dollars to whatever young woman
wrote the best essay on "The Model

miles from Memphis. there lived Miss
Lillian Perry. who is said to be "a typ

Lo and behold the essay was copied
In q Minneapolis Journal, where it was
read by Fremont Reed, prosperous
citizen, who fell in love with the senti-
ments therein expressed. Going to New
York, THE Model Husband" pursued
him in metropolitan papers and waylaid
him ON his arrival in Chicago.
"This is fate, said Mr. Reed unto
himself. ''The fair essayist must be
mine for life!"
Thereupon the ardent Minneapolitan

What Is the Perfect Neckq

What is perfect neck? This question
was put to many of the we'll known
authorities on art here by the writer. In
various respects as to coloring they
differed, but as to- formation they
thoroughly agreed. A perfect neck must
be twice as long as its circumference;
that is a law of nature. If lacking
plumpness of parallel equalities it has
awkward lines and inharmonious ex-
pressions. The poise of the neck is not
matter of cultivation. 1t is always a
heritage, like the shape of finger or
the formation of an ankle. You can inn
prove on existing curves, but you can
never utterly change them. New York

How New York Women walk.

Why will not women be at least natu-
raj in their gait, if art cannot teach them
to do better than amble and mince and
shamble and strut? The feminine meth
DDS of locomotion seen on Broadway and
Fifth avenue are unnatural enough to be
agonizing. If naturally ungraceful in
walking-and walking well is native
gift-why, be at least graceful and fully
at ease. But to be ungraceful, so that
every onlooker sees you are miserable

that she thought she had been treated
unfairly. In other words, she will go
away with grievance from mistaken
notion Of politeness. This conduct is
not in accordance with club etiquette,
which frowns upon grievances-an
frowns also upon undue or unfair ex.
ercise of authority on the part Of the

In society which hopes to do good
work and promote the happiness of its
