WOULDN'T BE A CLUB MEMEBER.
A Girl Whose Ambition Extended
Only to Painting Pictures

The art student shook her head in
whimsical protest. She had just come
back from six years study in the Paris
studios. where she had the reputation of
being talented, conscientious and am
bilious worker.
IL am glad to be at home again" she
said; but everybody takes things so
seriously over here. At least the girl art
students do. They haven't the pluck to
get down at the bottom and dig away on
first principles in a way that every
Frenchman thinks perfectly natural; but
they are awfully busy with ideals. They
belong to clubs for elevating all sorts of
things. I've been buttonholed on every
corner by people who want me to join
clubs. The day l got into my studio some
of my old friends came to see me. girls
L had worked with before | went abroad.
They all looked deadly serious and one of
them struck Curtius-dedicating his-life-
to-his-country pose. and said solemnly:

opened its doors at No. 26 Yves twenty
second street, New York, and n, Sum-
day afternoon receptions, as well as daily
iuncheons. at all hours during the week
The club is composed of literary women,
and women artists. and differs from the
usual woman's club in various ways. 1t

governing board. OF which Mrs. Kate
Jordan Nermilye is chairman.
We aim to have a club that is not
hedged about with constitution and by

so, and when they come can bring as
many friends as they wish. We have no
papers or literary proceedings of any
kind. and gentlemen are invited to all of
our receptions. We have no business
meetings as the governing board settles
everything. Members who wish to enter
have their names posted for three
weeks she added, "and if there are no
objections officially expressed. she be-
comes a member. We have a maid in
attendance from 10 a. m. to 6 d. m, and
members can have luncheon served If
they wish This will prove convenient to
members who live uptown or in the coun-
try"
The clubroom is a commodious apart
mcnt. and is furnished in an artistic style,
the walls being covered with the work of
the artist members. The desk is provi-
ded with stationery marked Pen and
Brush and the large table in the CEN
ter Of the room is supplied with the cur
rent periodicals. A double bookcase is
rapidly filling up with books. A teatable
in one corner and a smart colored maid
in cap and apron suggests that literary
and art gossip over the teacups is one of
the features Of this fin de steele organi-
cation.

Whe re. Woman Is Queen.

thing to have to confess, but the aver
age woman hates to wash her face. She
seems TO be about as afraid of soap as
she is OF mice. Men as a rule have

in the world. and soap the most effective

osity and enthusiasm awakened in them by the leading figure at the celebration Many were the questions with which Sock alexis, the real hero of the occasion, was pressed, and his old comrades refused to be satisfied with narratives of his triumphs on the base ball field and his adventures in far cities
 In the dancing, that was one of the best features of the reception, the tawny right fielder and Miss Fly Rod were frequent partners and more graceful couple never savage blood with civilized exterior and education, and the daughter of civilization who elects to spend her days in the woods with rifle and rod.
 Cornelia T. Crosby must be remembered well by New Workers, for she attracted a great deal of attention during the Sports mans Exposition, at Madison Square Gar den, last spring. She had charge of the Maine camp. Her costume at the wed- ding was importation from Paris, con sisting of a hunters suit of soft, water proof leather jauntily made, with rather short skirt, and trim waterproof boots and leggings. The jacket was adorned with big pearl buttons, and the picturesque AL pine hat with which her brown head was surmounted was made coquettish with a few quils.
 Her face Is white, but her heart is the heart of a brave," said Sockalexis when some one asked him what he thought of Miss Fly Rod"
The age-herald., 1898-01-09

Oldtown Me-, Jan. S-The Four Hun dred of Indian Island revelled at the we'd ding of John T. Ranco and Josephine New ell. It was exclusive in the highest de- gree. Sockalexis was the groomsman, Miss Fly Rod the bridesmaid, and only the big chiefs and hunters and guides of real re- nown received invitations.
 It was only fitting that this should be so, for both bride and groom are of proud lineage in the Penobscot tribe. She is the niece of Joe Francis, than whom there is no more illustrious woodsman and moose hunter in all Maine. Ranco is a young brave who has already won distinction as a guide, and is esteemed one of the most promising members of the tribe.
 But although the bride was the hand eomest maiden on the island, and the groom @ redskin Phoebus Apollo, the guant Sockalexis and his white partner att traeted the lions share of attention from the assembled braves and woodsmen. The distinguished right fielder was recog- nized as son of the tribe who had sallfed forth among the palefaces and caused the name of Penobscot to be respected on all the bleacheries in the continent. As for Cornelia T. Crossby-Miss Fly Rod-there was not red man there who did not de- light to honor her.
The age-herald., 1898-01-09

The marriage was solemnized in St. Jo- seph's Catholic church, Old Town, by Rev Father Cleary, whose priestly vestments added another incongruity between the picturesque forest garb of Sockalexis-a flowing frock coat and accessories which looked as if they might have been made by a Fifth avenue tailor.
 The little church was beautifully decor ated with pine boughs, ivy and flaming sumach, and even the fumes from swing ing censers did not smoother the pungent, aromatic odor of the woods.
 Of the woods, too, was the savor of the guests that had been bdden to the cere- mony and the feast that followed. Brown of face and keen of eye were they, garbed in the habiliment of the hunt, with gay feathers stuck here and there to denote the joyance of the event. Joe Francis com ported himself with dignity that beitted moose hunter of his renown and per- formed the delicate task of giving the bride away with suavity and grace that might be taken as model for uncles the world over.
 And when the twain were made one and the company trooped to the town hall for the reception, the sinewy old man. his red hat stuck full of eagles feathers, placed himself at the head of the procession and led the way.
 Away from the restrain of the church. the individual characteristics of the reyeIlers became more sharply defined, and the rank and file yielded unreservedly to the curi-
