model. In letter which she wrote in reply to an artists query as to when she might be expected, Mrs Clark re- piled:
 ''I will come home just as soon as I can get away; have had good time in Paris, but don't like the Parisians. l think what we read about French chivalry is all nonsense. Frenchmen are not as gallant to women as Ameri- can men. I don't believe that the women are as well treated anywhere as in America; but like Paris. should like it better if it were nearer New York. don't think should like ever to make my home anywhere else.
 "French women are so different from American women, they have such big feet, and don't like big feet"
 Though the typical American girl is always known in the studios as Miss" Minnie Clark. her real name is Mrs. Minnie Clark. She has been widow for the last seven years, her husband having died shortly after her marriage. The typical American girl is the mother of the dearest six-year-old boy, a regu- lar little Lord Fauntleroy, with his mothers blue eyes and hair as golden as sunbeam. This little child is as proud of his beautiful mother as his mother is proud of her boy. They live together in a cozy little flat on the west side of the city, and those who know her well say that the typical American girl is never seen to better advantage than when fondling the curly head of her beautiful boy.
 Ii Though under twenty-five years of age, Mrs. Clark has led life of ups and downs. Such beautiful woman could not but have a romantic history. It is her retiring disposition and ab- horrence of publicity that cause her to lead life with no companion save her child.
 'H<tIt is almost needless to say that wV1nan with such charms as Minnie Ciark is constantly surrounded with admirers of the opposite sex. The art ists for whom she poses are continually b}sieged with lG1 questing that the authors Communication with the 6ture portrayed whoz 4s Clark has posed know her too ell and never dream of taking sY a liberty as to grant the requests
 her acquaintance.
 hough Mrs. Clark was born in this
 ltry, her parents hail from the
 b of Ireland. . l

Al wise Proezution.

A Detroit man who goes hunting oc- casionally, without any great detriment to the live stock of the forests though perhaps some to the live stock of the fields, concluded not long ago that he would organize an expedition of two and make foray. So he consulted his office boy.
 ''I say, Tommie," he said, .'how would you like to go out on little hunt with me?"
 q don't know, sir," responded the boy, in some doubt. "I'd have to see mother first"
 ..All right. Ask your mother and let me know in the morning."
 The next morning the boy saw the gentleman.
 "Wen," he inquired, what did your mother say2"
 ''She said," replied the boy, very in nocently, "that I might go if you would take somebody else along with us to do the shootin'. n'."-Detroit Free Press.

she is queenly and stately to degree Still l should not call her a beautiful woman. l never paint her as she is, nor do know anyone else who has ever 5 done so. She Is always idealized and fiattered, and yet know of no woman who could take her place. She Is es- sentially lady, and in every move ment shows breeding"
 Though half the world admired the exquisite figure and face of Daniel French's statue of the Republic, which was exhibited at the worlds fair, and which now stands overlooking the ruins of the white city, none but the artist himself knew that Mrs. Clark had been the inspiration of this colossal figure. The arms, neck and lower part of the face are direct fac-similies of the typical American girl. With the upper part of the face and the arrangement of the hair Mir. French has taken liberties, but he claims that all the beauty in the statue is due to inspiration given him by Minnie Clark.
 In another piece of MT. French's work upon which Mrs. Clark's beauty will go down through decades is the figure of Death staying the hand of the sculptor. This was exhibited at the sculpture exhibition at the south and west and finally erected in the Boston cemetery.
 Mr. French is now waiting for the re- turn of the American girl in order that he may finish the face of his statue of Erin.
 One of Mrs. Clarlx's chief charms lies in the fact that she knows how to dress herself. Her gowns are always of the most up-to-date cut, subducd in color and exquisite in taste. She has supply of evening dresses that would equally match the gowns of any so- cicty girl. She always pays particular attention to the lines and folds which the draperies take over her well rounded figure, and usually chooses soft, clinging materials, the long straight lines of which lend to the dig nity of her figure. In nearly all her portraits she appears in low-necked sleeveless gowns This is due to the fact that the artist cannot resist the temptation to paint, draw, or model her exquisite arms and shoulders.
 c. D. Gibson has in his studio a num- Der of gowns which he has designed purposely for Minnie Clark. When she poses for him she often changes her gown three and four times in a sitting and is made to represent eight or ten < different women.
 In the studio of R. w. Allen, the re- nowned portrait painter, is half fin- ished picture of Mrs. Clark, gowned in grayish blue empire gown. She is in the act of descending broad flight of stairs, and suggests the famous painting of Josephine.
 2 Minnie Clark is seldom portrayed with hat. When she is allowed to don hcadgear it is usually of the Gains borough style and very jaunty affair.
 Though the artists rejoice at her re- S turn, no one will be more glad at her arrival on this side than the little

upon skirt or bodice brilliant note of dark material. This is black usually. You know that artists call black the strongest of all colors, though scien- lists, wrong, as usual, say it isn't color at all.
 We'll, what do you say to an evening corsage of most delicate pinks and creams, in which a note of color is in- troduced by jet black shoulderstraps and an intervening of black ribbon across the corsage to show squares of black? You would call 1t extremely charming if you had the luck to see the example I have in mind. Rich and lustrous purple produces the same beautiful effect of emphasis, though it is really suitable only for older women. This is one of the secrets of the suc- cess of French modisteS. They are trained to introduce daring notes, e-en of discords in color to break up and en- liven compositions that might other wise be too softly sweet and insipid. A discord is introduced occasionally in music for the same reason. The most beautiful evening costumes are con- stantly designed out of very pale green and very pale pink, discord which would be glaring in darker tones, but in the lighter ones'is simply piquing to the curiosity.
 An up-to-date example of the point discussed is pictured in one of the other evening dresses illustrated It is a gracefully fashioned white gown trimmed with Q band of black velvet round the skirt. Soft white silk is in- troduced into the bodice, on which the velvet again appears. The huge sleeves with pointed cuffs are made piquant with velvet, and velvet fringe finishes

connection between wide skirts and the progress of the woman movement, if you have eyes for effects and causes.
 The skirt should have no trimming but bows of satin ribbon with jet fringe in short lengths on the right side. The helt would best be corselet of wAte'silk embroidered with jet in quite an open pattern. For bodice blouse is very effective and may be of black and white or red and black checked silk or of a stripe of black ard white or black and amber.
 To wear this same velvet skirt of an evening you need only substitute pink or white chiffon bodice with your fa- vorite flowers. ELLEN OSBORN.

Her Defense of Him.

'Do you think your sister likes me, Tommy"
 "Yes; she stood up for you at din- ner."
 'Stood up for me! Was anybody say ing anything against me?"
 No; nothing much. Father said he thought you were rather donkey, but sis got up and said you weren't, and told father he ought to know better than to judge a man by his looks."- Tid-Bits.

more and more frank use of the pathetic ally bushy tails of pathetically small ani- mals. The Eton jacket in fur is very popular It stops exactly at the waist, fits snugly and has usually wide lapels and collar, but it's big sleeves are quite ns often made of silk or velvet. A mode which is lowering on the thresh- old is the utilization of the skins of baby leopards for light-fitting waist coats to be worn with seal jackets left flying open. The effect Is not unlike that of gold-embroidered vest. but is a deal costlier. The only real novelty in furs is the "Shouba," of Russian model, worn by the dowager czarina and borrowed readily enough by Eng fish and French nnd American furriers It Is not circular, and yet is full enough to fall together in front, and the large sleeves have corresponding armholes

How They arcw a Bell.

At the beginning of the last century the only church bell at Grosslaswitz, Germany, was so small that its tones were not sufficient to penetrate to the ends of the village. A second bell was badly wanted, but the village was poor and where was the money to come from? One Sunday when the school- master, Gottfried Hayn, was going to church, he noticed growing out of the churchyard wall fourishing stock of green corn, the seed of which must have been dropped by passing bird.

All Within Professional Ethics.

Dr. F., physician of Montpelier, was in the habit of employing very ingenious artifice. When he came to town where he was not known he pre- tended to have lost his dog, and or dered the public crier to offer, with beat of drum. reward of twenty-five louis to whoever should bring it to him. The crier took care to mention all the titles and academic honors of the doc tor, as we'll as his place of residence. He soon became the talk of the town. "Do you lspow?" says one, that fa- nous physician has come here, very clever fellow? He must be very rich, for he offers twenty-five louis for find- ing his dog" The dog was not found, but patients wcre.-London Telegraph.

much rejoicing in the realms of art. happiness which she expected, and though she has enjoyed the admiration of some of the greatest artists in that city, she yearns to return to America, where she will again reign as queen among models. She says she wants to come home and pose for the American artists as the typical American girl, and that she is tired of the unnatural poses in which the Frenchmen require her to appear.
 The artists are glad. In many of the studios important pieces of work stand waiting for completion. The authors claim that they cannot go on with them until the return of their beauti- ful model. Several of the artists have pictures which they have finished as far as the head, but refuse to touch the face until Mrs. Clark is here again.
 Mrs Clarlss face and figure are familiar throughout America. c. D. Gibson has for years put her into near ly every picture he has drawn. In his salons of beautiful women she has al- ways played the part of heroine, some times as hostess, sometimes as guests, but always the same dignified, grace ful, and well gowned women.
 When Mir. Gibson went to Europe year ago he sketched his illustrations from some of the most noted Paris models. But eventually he decided that he could not find among them face as satisfactory as that of the typi-
