her face and head, but to the environ

her throat and neck, to see whether a

First empire, with skinny satin gown,
elaborate couture, jeweled girdle, fan
and inaigrefte. Perhaps she stands,
half turned about, with her back to
the spectator, and her pure profile
deity brought out on a dark velvet
curtain. All women would not look
charming in such position. The
artist knows whom to choose, and the
subject will wonder at her own beauty
when she sees the picture.
A wilful, coquettish girl is posed as
modern Priscilla. The quaint spin
ming wheel and high-bacled chair. the
small-paned window at the back of the
colonial room, form charming con
trast with her rich brocade gown and
beaming face. The scant, pulled

and the .undulating outlines of the
figure are suggested. not revealed, by
the prim folds of the Powered silk
frock.
These latter-day photographs are
like paintings, and are likely never to
grow old-fashioned. They have the
charm that distinguishes the portrait
painters of the old English school; a
charm that custom will not stale. They
will not become out of date and gro
tesque. like the photographs of twenty
years ago, found in family albums. In
those days woman was hired to put
the lights in the eyes, color the cheeks,
and paint the ribbon bows and artifi-
cial flowers of the ladies and the CAV
neckties and buttonhole bouquets of
the gentlemen. The new photographs,
be 1t hundred years hence, always
will be things of beauty, no matter
what evolutions. cOntractions, or dini-
nutions may befall woman's dress. III.

reference to this subject. To add to
the intensity of the situation, there has
lately sprung up 2 tendency On the part
of the newly rich to initiate liveries
adopted by the first families. Those
who do this, of course, know no better,
but it is q most annoying practice to
the Vander6ilts and the Astors. To IL
lustrate its heinous nature from the
first families standpoint, IL may be
pointed out that Mr.. William K. Van
derbilt resented fercely an accusation
that he had used the family livery in
the equipment of Miss Neustretter's

almost be termed sacred. How scandal

TO SAVE THE BIRDS.
The Chicago Audubon Society the Only
One of It's Find.

One or Its Kind.
The up-to-date woman NAV have DO
liticsl bees in her Sunday bonnet, II
she likes. but the Chicago Audubon So
ciety insists she shall not indulge in
dead birds. This fashionable adorn-
ment is emphatically declared TO be
thoughtless cruelty. In a word, the
object OF this comparatively new and
unique organization of men and women
is the protection of birds. To this end
monthly meeting is held, says the
Times-Herald.
So extensive has become the killing
of birds for feminine fashion that the
subject is attracting widespread atten-
ton among ornitholoaists The Chi
cago Audubon society, however, claims
to be the only organization formed for
the condemnation of the use of birds
for millinery purposes.
At the regular meeting held the other
afternoon Rev. George Pratt read pa
per on Amateur OrnIthology," fol-
lowed by musical numbers. The au-
dience was made up mostly Of women
who practice what they preach by not
wearing birds in their bonnets, though
they indulge in ostrich plumes, on the
plea that this does not neceAsitate the
killing of the bird.
There are eight million birds slaugh-
tered annually in the name of fashion,"
said Mrs. f. Irene Rood, president Of
the society. AS an organization we
propose TO be instrumental in the pro-
lection of birds and in time introduce
such bills IN the Legislature. At present
we are much interested in the bill now
pending, which relates to the game
laws OF Illinois
The Chicago Audubon society Is,
believe, the only organization Of the
kind in the United States she con-
tinued. ''There was one IN New York,

A countryman, armed with en- i'm

president of the society and claims first
prize. He is asked to describe the act
of humanity on which he Pounds the
claim.

the countryman. II might easily have

But where was this wolf?' inquiries
the latter; what had he done to you?"
/ ''He had just devoured my wife, " was
the reply.

then says:

you have been sufficiently rewarded"

RACING ON ICE.
Fast Time Made in the Events
Yesterday.

The ice racing at Como yesterday
afternoon was exciting and Interesting,
and large crowd was present. The
air was keen and bracing, but not too
cold to interfere with the sport. The
most interest conferred in the freefor-
all. In the first heat Pearl r, 2:17195,
beat Stratford, who was hitched too close
and hit the braces on the cart, causing
him to break when near the wire. In
the second heat Stratford was hitched
farther away, and, driving Pearl K OFF
her feet, won easily. Excitement at
this point ran high. and friendly wagers
were made Oh the result. In the third
heat Stratford, without a skip, fairly
outtrotted his competitors, winning in
the fastest time made this season in a
race on the ice. 1:0915. Results:

Sunday, that the teams are so unevenly
balanced that when No. l team is

men who comprise the No. teams are
