belts are certainly a great invention.
They yield to the contour Of the figure

Some years ago everything Russian had
an immense vogue in Paris. That was
the season of the Russian blouse, which
met one at every turn and at all sorts
of places. This fad has not yet entirely
disappeared, one Of the latest Partisan
models showing a skirt Of white tafHeta
under bodice of white chiffon batiste.
The full gathered skirt has a border Of
Russian embroidery on the extreme
edge. The bodice, which is bouffant,
has yoke of Russian embroidery
pointed upward to the middle, while
the deep sleeve caps of Russian en-
broidery are tight to the arm. From
them escapes full pun.

father, she works when she feels like
1t, and with marvellous talent She
studies in the same way, by fits and
starts. She is one Of the youngest of
the illustrators, and has an expressed
ambition to do newspaper illustrating,
a branch Of work into which all high
class illustrators are rapidly coming.
Good press work encourages them to
offer their pictures to newspapers,
where poor paper, bad presgwork and
cheap ink used to deter them. The
exquisite press work of the last year
Which makes the newspaper rival the

Miss Margaret Kittredge, daughter of
the well-known clergyman, is a girl
well along in art work. She paints
with much painstaking, and disposes OF
all the work she cares to turn Off. Many
Of the art students like Miss Kittredge,
who have a coterie Of friends, gem
erously offer to show other pictures
with their own, and so many sale Is
effected.
Most girl artists marry too soon for
their artistic prospects to mature. One
Of these, whose talents gave her recog-

the bolero be very fashionable, but

most entirely by the braided design,

life OF a European ruler; he is q sOrt o.
chief Of clan and shares the rude, In
dependent existence Of his people. He
rises late, and goes to the senate or
visits the court house, and takes part
in the deliberations Of the sunremer
tribunal When a criminal case Is on
he follows the debates attentivelys
questions the accused and Witnessed
and sometimes acts as counsel for the
person on trial. Upon his daily prone
made through the streets Of the capital
the prince allows all Of his subjects to
approach him and make known their
demands These petitions are usually
presented at the public well, where the
prince, sitting on the brink and sur
rounded by his guards, listens kindly
to the complaints or requests Of those
who desire to speak to him.
"The family dinner takes place at
noon, and Is followed by long siesta,
for the Montenegrins are as lazy as
they are brave. A horseback ride usu-
ally precedes the evening meal, after
which the prince frequently joins lott
of his warriors and senators, to whom
he talks on European politics, science
and the leading questions Of the day..
and listens to their remarks about
Montenegrin affairs. In these familiar
conversations the Black Mountain chief
finds out more in an hour about the
condition OF his country than he could
learn from an extensive correspond
ence.
It is said Of the prince that he does
a certain amount Of money lending on
his own account, since there are no
banks, and he is the only person who
has any money in his kingdom, and not
overmuch at that.
He is an indefatigable worker, Is con-
stantly moving about in his principal
Ity, and It Is said Of him that he knows
every one Of his subjects by sight. He
will this year celebrate the bicentepary
Of his dynasty.
1t seems cruel that such patriarchal
ruler should not have more fertile
and more prosperous country to rule
over. Physically, the country Of the
Black Mountain is about as unpromis-
ing as 1t can be. A saying among the
natives Is that when the Creator was
distributing rocks over the earth's sur
face he dropped his bag into Monte
negro
From the summit Of Mount Lovchen,
the highest peak in the country, an
endless succession of huge powders Of
various heights meets the eye in every
direction. There are few fertile plains,
but no one has ever learned husbandry
or any other business for that matter,
except fighting, and to this day the en-
tire male population goes abroad armed
with revolver and knife, relics, how
ever, Of the old war spirit against the
Turks only, for these people rarely
quarrel among themselves.
Montenegro is known In Europe as
the southern outpost Of Russia. It is,
recognized on all sides that the Princes
political Affiliations are all with Rus
sia. It is said that Russia has already
lowered three of his daughters, one
Of whom is married to son of cousin
of the Gear and another to Russian
nobleman closely allied to the Cars
court.

question among psychologists and stu-
dents of temperament, The poetic
qualities OF the fair-minded man or

actual worth of the blonde as compared
with the brunette is often debated, the
opinion reached being usually in favoy

Turks continued for rEOre than CEN
fury, the deadly hatred Of Montene-
gro's arch enemy being handed down
from father to son.
In the sixteenth century the Turks
under Sultan Solyman, wearied Of this
desultory fighting, appeared in such
overwhelming force that the black
mountaineers were forced to sullenly
submit to Turkish suzerainty. Such
condition lasted for two hundred years,
when the Montenegrins once more
broke the yoke and declared them
selves an Independent people and es-
tablished a native monarchy, with
Njogosch as sovereign. He was in
vested with hierarchical as well as re-
gal powers, as were his successors, I'M
til 1881, when Prince Daniell, coming
to the throne, declined the ecclesias-
tlcal dignity, and since then the two
functions have been separate and dis

Miss Mary Flower, niece Of ex-Gov.
Flower, is a girl artist. She has style,
something highly valued in art work.
Her family portraits have the touch of
great beauty, and her commissions have
been paintings for family portrait gal
leries. This is a line Of work much
coveted by all artists Of all degrees of
prominence and Of both sexes. To go
farther and be admitted to the annual
portrait show in the autumn is the very
acme Of desire. But this has as yet
been attained by few of the "girl art

Apostrophe addressed by the late Lord
Tennyson to the Black Mountain King"
dom Of Montenegro, ruled over by
Prince Nicolas, The recent betrothal
of his third daughter, Helena, to the
Crown Prince of Italy, the talk Of
courts and problem for statesmen,
recalls the picturesque personality Of
Prince Nicolas and the unique polit-
ieal Importance Of his little principally
the size of Rhode Island-with 200,-
900 inhabitants.
Princess Helena, one Of seven daugh-
tiers, was born in the royal palace in
Cettinje in 1873. With her sisters she
inherited the superb dark beauty of
their mother, the daughter Of a Mon
tenegrin nobleman. She has been most
carefully reared by tutors and govern
esses, and Is not only admirable in VII
the arts and graces Of European coGete,
but Is well versed In the play Of poll
tics and In every way qualified to sue
coed even so lovely queen % Mar
gherita Of Italy.
For several years past the name Of
the Prince OF Naples has been matr-
monially mentioned in connection with
nearly every eligible princess In Hu-
rope, and the affair has operated to d.
vide Roman society into several par
ties. One section, the first to appear,
wishes for a marriage with Princess
ClOmentine Of Belgium, youngest daugh-
ter of King Leopold II. Another large
party hopes for an alliance with an
English princess, because Of the friend
ship existing between the two nations
and the good feeling of the two reign
Ing houses one for the other. A third
agitates for Princess Fedora Of Schles-
vigil olsteln, sister of the Empress Of
Germany, In order to consolidate the
alliance with that country A fourth
wants marriage with the Archduchess
Maria Annunziata of Austria to pop
ularize the Austrian alliance, which
still has in Italy many opponents. Ac-
oording to others, the Prince will look
to the east and marry Princess Maria
Maddalena, fourth daughter Of King
George Of Greece, born In Athens In
1876.
Last month It was rumored In Lon
don that the beautiful and unsupported
little Princess Helena had won the
great prize, and this rumor has now
turned out to be correct.
The groom to be and future King Of
Italy is the only son of the present
king, and is named Vittorio Nmman-
uelo Fernandino Maria Geunaro. He
was born in 1869, and has the repute Of
being liberal, scholarly and soldierly
man, being O general In the Italian
army and a patron Of art and liter
allure.
While this young couple await their
supreme happiness-no date Is yet hxed
for the wedding-it will be entertaining
to turn for moment to the remarkable
personality of the father Of the BRIDE
Prince Nicolas Of Montenegro.
For ages the history of Montenegro
was bound up with that Of the Servlan
kingdom, and was finally merged after
6eries Of bloody wars under the do
minion of the Ottoman Empire, yet
while all southern alavdom was under
Turkish dominion the Montenegrins,
perched on their black rocks, we're still
able to keep up show Of independ-
ence.

liberty, and were willing to fight and
die for 1t. The skirmishes with the

Ter they can work Independently.
Miss Howells has her studio in the
very heart Of the art students colony.
The COLONY" is that section of the
sity extending across the whole width
of Central Park and down town as far
as Fiftieth street. The Art League Is in
the center and the students group
around 1t. It is the Latin quarter Of
New York.
Miss Howells has a studio in her
fathers apartments facing Central
Park. She works daily with her brush
es, for art is her profession, as litera-
ture is her fathers. Miss Howells,
after long course Of study IN Paris,
Rome and London, began by illustrat-
Ing her fathers poems. Her tail-pieces
attracted attention, and the cleverness
with which she caught the conception
OF the work made friends for her with
writer's. All artists cannot get the
"tone" of the work they illustrate, even
while they draw we'll. Miss Howells'
work appears regularly in the highest
class magazines and she has settled
down to the profession Of regular Illus
trative work.
Another of the girl artists Of New
York is allegro Eggleston, daughter Of
Edward Eggleston. Miss Bggleston,"
said an officer of the Art League,
Ought not to be called student now,
though she still studies. She is a pro-
fessional."
Her specially is childrens faces.
These she does with much delicacy,
making them young, sweet and dim
pied. She was the first artist who ever
had the courage to put pug nose upon
a child's face, though all children's
noses are pug. Besides drawing in line
work, which is Miss Eggleston's spe-
cialty, she carves exquisitely. When
she was a little girl she carved an
idol" out OF a rotten piece Of wood.
Her father saw it and was impressed
with the correctness Of the lines, for
the child had exactly copied an idol in
the Metropolitan museum, and he told
her to keep on. At ten her instruction
in art began.
George Cables daughter is another Of
the daughters Of literary fathers who
have worked successfully with the
brush. Though married now, this
young woman is a "girl artist" en-
bellishing her fathers writings and
successfully contributing to the maya
zines. Her best work is in the charac-
ter sketches which her father describes
SO graphically. She says she "sees
them while he reads"
The peculiarly quiet, studious dispo-
sition of professional men pervades,
with the touch of heredity, the minds
of the daughters. Daughters of law
yers, clergymen and the girls of army
officers turn to art and want to study
It. They do not ask for reserved seats
in the art classes, but are content to
fall in line with the rest and wait for
talent to bring them forward.
One Of these girls who took course
at the Art League, working hard at the
the cubes and fruit pieces, then at the
figure casts, was Elsie Clews, daughter
Of Henry Clews, the banker Miss
Clews' best work lay in her outdoor
sketches. Her desire was to paint land
scape, and she did it SO well that the
students crowded around her easel, as
they will around anything good, and
freely admired. Art students are pecu-
