YOUNG WOMEN AND ART.
They Find the Popular Avenues
 reatly Overerowded.
Those Who Are Making Marked Success and a Few Dollars Are Planning New Departures Two Bachelor
 Maids Studio.
COPYRIGHT. 1893.

Women who wish to make their art studies in New York profitable invest ment have discovered in the last few years that the popular avenues in indus trial art are getting to be just as over crowded as in any other business. It is impossible for a girl to make even 8 modest living designing book covers, not to speak of the three thousand dol lars year which crowned Miss Alice Morses first efforts in that direction.
 The young women who are now mals- ing marlze success and incidentally a comfortable number of dollars in in- dustrial art are women who have planned new departures for their tal- ents, or have taken immediate advan- tage of every fresh opening.
 Every firm i'll the city that is in any way associated with industrial art or dependent upon the workers is always on the alert for something new or orig inal, and to meet such demands is the object of the clever young artisans.
 Designing s'booI plates for the own CTS of large libraries is perhaps the latest departure, unless an exception is made in favor of the bright young woman who has kept up with the pro- cession by designing some of the most original bill posters of the season. Other women have gone in for engrav- ing and metal traeery and for decorat- ing interiors, employing methods en- tirely different from the old style of freseo in water colors.
 The position of art director in an up town printing establishment is a new opening in industrial art, and one that so far has been taken advantage of al most exclusively by women.

1 that has been accomplished I think the sooner young artist tries her wings 1 the better. If she is deficient she will find it out soon enough-to her sorrow and if, on the other hand, she pos sesses her share of talent the more original her idea, the less she is ham, pered by what has been done, the bet ter for herself and the public"
 Painting on canvas. and cloth-of- gold is an interesting occupation which has rendered two young Brooklyn girls independent.
 The credit for this novelty is due Mrs. Wheeler, of the Associated Artists society, and some of the cleyerest de- signs for this work have been from the brush of her famous daughter, Dora Wheeler Keith. Mrs. Keith, who has recently returned from Paris, is now throwing her attention to portrait work in pastels
 The two young ladies who at present fill most of the orders for interior dec- oration received by the Society of As soeiated Artists are the Misses Lee. Miss Bessie Pomeroy Lee has made a distinct name for herself in the art world as decorator of interiors"
 The first work which brought her into prominence was the execution of q series of freseos for the beautiful resi- dence of Andrew Carnegie. Her de- signs for the library of Mrs. Charles Pratt, of Brooklyn, have also brought her favorable notice, proving as they do not only a fine sense of proportion, but an unusual color sense as well. The library of Mrs. c. E. Alexander, of New York, was also decorated by Miss Lee, but probably the work which has brought her most prominently before sthe public is her decoration of the eeil- ing of MT Fred Vanderbilt's yacht.
 The younger sister, Miss Emma Red ington Lee, devotes her entire time to filling orders received by the Associ- ated Artists society.
 Some of her finest work is done on cloth-of-gold. This beautiful material. which is especially designed for art work, is woven of fine linen and gold thread. It costs twelve dollars yard at wholesale, and is the preferred background for all the gorgeously col ored frescos. in painting this material transparent colors are employed, so that the lustre of the gold is relieved, giving splendor of finish impossible to gain from either canvas or plaster. Although canvas has been some what superseded by the favorite cloth of-gold, it is still largely employed by artists who advocate it's durability, strength and firrnness of texture. The beautiful peacock room in the house of Senator Sawyer, the perpetual sena- tor from Wisconsin, was done by Miss Ida Clarke, who painted great sketches of canvas in her studio and afterward superintended their adjustment in tho room which her handiwork has made almost as famous among artists as tho celebrated peacock room in London by

Fasl,ion's Commands.

It makes but little difference whether the weather is hot or cold, whether the times are hard or easy, fashion drives rough shod along the great highway of life, and she has a great procession fol lowing at her heels. The young and the old are there, and the lords of crea- tion arc as anxious to hear her mandate as the weaker sex. It is amusing to hear men laugh at women for follow ing so closely the latest styles, when in reality a new way of tying q neckscarf viii give them as much concern as the hang" of skirt does the dainty little lady who wants to look just right. We are alike; we all want to look our best and be mp to date. 1t is duty we owe to ourselves and our friends that we make as pleasing an appear ance as possible, and we all make a desperate effort to do 1t, although we may not acknowledge it, even to our selves.

V His non-appearance at vari-

ency. His non-appearance at vari- ous social and political functions is alleged in support of the state ment that his old malady of in- digestion has reasserted itself He was expected to be very prominent at the Belmonts Newport "splurge," be- cause he is understood to be at the bottom of the Perry Belmont guberna- torial boom. But for some reason or ether Mir. Whitney has been practice ally in hiding of late, and the story goes that the great democrat is i'll. This report may be really trap designed to draw him out. The truth appears to be that Whitney suspects design to elevate him solely on the strength of his s'bar'fe and that the Cleveland e1e- ment win let him drop at the critical moment. Mir. Whitney, meanwhile, is arranging brilliant social campaign on his daughters behalf. The states man himself will ego in" for all tho balls of the season, for he is devoted to society. This is his way of letting it be known that he has not caught either the presidential fever or any other sickness This winter will not see him active politically.

Such position pays from twenty-five to thirty dollars month, and as a woman IS not often called upon to glve over three mornings or afternoons per week to each firm the pay is fair.
 The latest fad among tho owners of fine libraries is the use of the ssboolx platen in place of the ordinary inscrip- ton. These plates are small, not often over three inches in diameter, and are beautifully designed, sometimes with the family crest interwoven with some bootSworm's favorite motto; sometimes the design is gotten uP wholly as an emblem of the owners taste or some fad in literature, and again the concep- tion is left entirely to the imagination of the artist.
 This line of industrial art. requiring both skillful fingers and love of detail. has naturally fallen almost entirely into the hands of women.
 Miss Amy Richards. q New England girl, is one of the most skilled designers ot book plates. Miss Richards came to New York, as did most of her fellow workers, to learn to design book covers, but, although unusually successful in this line, she found that to make her living it was necessary to branch out; thatwoman could not live by boolk-cover designs alone.
 Miss Richards worlsing-room is on a pretty, eld-fashioned street just off Fifth avenue, where from the front windows she can look out upon trees and even grass. She shares her pleas ant quarters with Miss Aspinwall, one of the most artistic designers of wall- paper patterns in the city.
 Miss Richards has been q hard-worlS- ing student for several years at both the School of Applied Design and the Artist-Artisans school, making special study of ornamental and historical art. At present she is working entirely without supervision.

would even prefer inexperienced men to such a handler Of course. this is unjust, but you can't combat super stition. Clever and experienced gen erals like Billy Madden and Mike Don- ovaa have been looked upon as sJonahs' because they have been be- hind couple of losers. They were not credited with the hundred or more victories they had, as seconds, helped their principals to gain.
 But to return to the greatest of fight CTS now in the ring who has the stout est of superstitions, ''Lanl1y Bob' Fitz- simmons. Bob's great hold on the oc- cult realm lay in dreams Bob has had dream about every great fight he has ever engaged in. Bob's dreams do not go by contraries, either, as is generally the rule in such cases He dreams to win. The big Australian actually goes through sort of metaphysical prowess before every contest he enters into He is of highly nervous organization, and, sleeping or waking, he thinks of the battle he has on hand. This ultimately tells on his mind, and a panoramic foreview of the fight is spread before Fitz in his slumbers. He has forced himself to dream. As the wish is father to the thought, of course, Fitz dreams that he pulverizes his adver- sary. He has had such dreams prior to his fights with Starlight and Slaae in Australia, and just before his con tests with Arthur Nepham, Billy Me Carthy, Jack Dempsey, Dan Creedon, Joe Choynslzi and Jim Hall in this country. In each instance he not only dreamed that he whipped his adver- sary, but the exact number of rounds he did the trick in. The dreams came true in every detail, even to the number of rounds. That is why Lanky Bob is fortified in his belief that he will whip Corbett. He dreamed that he thrashed tPompadour Jim" sound1y in four rounds, just as he had dreamed months and years ago that he would trounce Jim Hall in four rounds, Dan Creeden in two and Joe Choynslsi in six.
 Strange to say, the pugilistic frater- nity, and especially the Australian con tingent, who know Fltz's dreaming powers thoroughly, are impressed with the correctness of his mental diag- nosis.

New York delegation will go into the next democratic national conven- tion with a candidate of it's own. This is in pursuance of plan formulated by the subtle genius who nominated Hill for governor last year. The dark horse" stam- pede plan worked so we'll then that the trick will be attempted with the presidential nomination next year The vegetables, B as non-Tammany demo- cratic bosses throughout the country are dubbed by the tiger, are expected To fall in with the scheme. The idea is that after the first ballot or ewo one of the "vegeta bles'' will arise and demand Hill. He is not to be placed in nom nation at all. Then vegetables from the other sections will join in and finally New York will clamor for Hill with a hurrah. The idea seems to commend itself very favorably to the senator's supporters, and explains the sudden stoppage of all clamor for Hill The senator himself carefully refrains from all open. interference in the presiden- tial situation.
