In reality we demand the impossible of
women. We expect them to be pretty
whether they are or not. and so the poor
creatures pinch and pad and paint and
powder, and martyrize themselves, and If
they are not reasonably successful get
laughed at for their efforts, after all
their sufferngs. Then think what men,
dacity this sdeal of good looks Calls for
No matter what else 4 woman does. she
is bound to be good looking, too. Look
at the ordinary sketch of a woman S
achievements She has written a book,
or painted picture, or been elected presi-
dent of a railway, or saved a hfe-any-
thing-but she is always bound to be
young and beautiful besides In the descrip-
ton. NO biOerapher would dare to leave
that out, says Dorothy Dix in the New
Orleans Pcayune, although we know well
enough, as a general thing, that IL is only
homely women who do things. But we are
bound to have that sop to the conven tional
idea that no matter what her achieve
ments, a woman couldn't be really inter
estinS unless she was pretty.
1t is possible, of course, that in time we
may outgrow this unreasonable theory
that all the petting and the perquisites
should so 10 the beautiful, and the home
ly woman may yet get her innings. A
straw that seems to indicate that the wind
is setting in that direction is the fact that
one man, with Dewey-Hobson like courage
has come out and championed the cause of
the PLAN woman. 1t is><eX-Senator Nash
of Wisconsin, and he protests against a
young and handsome woman being select
ed to christen the new battleship Wiscon-
sin. now nearing completion. He says.
and he sticks to It, that the member of
! her sex most appropriate for doing the
bottle act at the briny baptism is not some
feted and spoiled beauty. but a Wisconsin
school marin. with freckled face and tip
tilted nose who has warmed the jacket of
some of the boys who viii man the new
battleship.
And the honorable gentleman is just
dead right. / is not the beautiful women
who know how TO dress eXquisitely, who
can spend half "A day manicuring their
nails, and whose cheek no rude wind must
touch who have helped in the upbuding
of the new states. II is the plain girls
who had no complexion that required TAX
! ing care Of whose hands were not toe
soft and white to do an honest days hard
work, and who hustled out and taught
school, or MIXED the cows, or drove the
| harvesters when help was scarce. or did
whatever else was necessary without stop
! ping to think about their hooks and it. S
time a few bouquets were thrown their
| way.
! After all. though we don't make so much
! fuss over her, it is the plain girl to whom
| We owe the most. It is TO her that VIZ
! turn in times of trouble She always
! knows what 10 do, and what to say. The
beauty is too much absorbed in contem.
| plating her own perfectious to be able tc
! waste much sympathy on others, and we
never think of going to her with our heart

A Mother
The beauty of all beauty is
Within mothers smile;
There is no other thing like this,
None other worth the while.
The glory of all glory lies
Within a mothers glance;
No child at all can leave the eyes
Wherein the angels dance.
The wisdom of all wisdom sits
Upon mothers brow;
There is no crown on earth that fits
Just like its whiteness now.
The gladness of all gladness plays
Within a mothers mirth;
No Puck in all the leafy ways
Can laugh so free on earth!
The sweetness of all sweetness CLOVIS
Upon a mothers lips;
No child at all but surely knows
How sweet the honey drips!
The wonder of all wonder is
Within a mothers face;
Gods own hath look akin to this,
In heavens highest place.

Mr. II. ]. w. DAM who Is announced
as the winner of the highest prize $500
in a short-story contest lately conducted
by the publishers of the Black Cat, IS an
Englishman, rather well known in this
country through his magazine writings.
He has written a good deal for Mcclure S
Magazine, and his specially mas been de-
scriptive articles and personal interviews.
He has particular facility in scientific
subjects, and is about the best man to be
found for executing a commission that in
wolves the popular exposition of some sci
entific principle. He had hard fight for
a place for a time and wrote for most
any sum. But few years ago his affairs
eased up substantially, and now he is not
so ready to answer every summons. He
first found firm footing in a field as f.
removed as possible from that of his ear
lier ventures namely, in writing for tie
stage. The last thing one who knew him
only through his newspaper and magazine
contributions would have predicted of MIN
would have been success in writing plays
Those contributions bespoke an honest, la
borious man. sensitive mainly to the plain,
hard fact, and of little sympathy with The
picturesque and imaginative. Yet several
times over he has met the literary condi-
tons of the stage unequiVocally, and las
had his reward in very considerable roy
allies. l never heard of his trying his
hand at short stories, however until now.

Kind and sweet to their own folk,

once remarked in this correspondence
on the fact that the writing of one or two
acceptable contributions really forwarded
the literary aspirant but little and that he
had even after this hard achievement, his
way still mainly to make. This to some
has seemed a hard saying, but the whole
truth of the matter is harder still The
writing of one or two good articles or
short stories is a small thing beside the
writing Of good book. and yet l could

voted himself to records of fact rather than

Washington correspondent of the Chicago

voyage of exploration in the Arctics. This
will not be his first venture as an Arctic
explorer. He went out in 1891, and got
as far as latitude 81 degrees 10 minutes and
lost his vessel Ly getting her crushed in
the ice On his return from this voyage,
he Investigated the feasibility of the pal
loon as means of Arctic exploration, and
only escaped setting forth on just such a
journey as Andrees by Andrees announce

preparations were still immature enough

Fashions of the Day,

Everyone ought to go to the portrait
show.
The first afternoon was really great
fun; it was quite what the society re-
porter delights in describing as social
function
There were so many people one knew
out OF frames as well as in them, that it
was difficult to see everybody. l am
afraid paid rather more attention to
the people out Of frames. I wart to 90
again and see the framed people all by
themselves.
From the casual glance that did give
the pictures it was easy to see that art
is much more important factor in this
country today than it was even SO short
a time as two years ago. when the pre-.
vious portrait show was held.
The family portrait with US is growing
to be as much Of necessary institution
as it is with our English cousins, and a
very good thing it lie. An annual por-
trait show would help US artistically a
vast deal. and l hope the Golfers of the
Orthopoedic hospital will be filled to
such an extent that they will be ready to
repeat the exhibition. Eventually,
perhaps, some portraits OF the grand
parents, the great grandparents and the
great great grandparents of society
might be unearthed and placed on ex-
hibition. l think in many cases most
interesting comparisons might be made.
Speaking Of old portraits. was very
much interested in the various ways the
women portrayed by Romney. Sir Joshua
and Gainesbo.ough wore their
hair. also noticed that most of these
women had small eyes set rather closely
together. and the noses were inclined to
hook. These two characteristics were
30 prevalent indeed, that one began to
wonder how to account for the general
family resemblance of all these women.
l really think that it must have been
that the small eyes and hooked noses
were the correct type Of beauty in those
days. and the hair was arranged to &C.
centuate them in every face.
think If l we're going to have a por.
trait pdinted-and l really think must
what to be painted in would puzzle me
B good deal. Modern clothes that are in
vogue for the moment are 30 tremendous
queer when their moment is over; and
yet to be painted in q costume like that
in Gerome'e portrait Of Mrs. Truax does
not quite appeal to me either. Unques-
however. this picture lie the
gem of the collection; but, as family
portrait, it does not seem quite the
hing.
Anderson's portrait Of Mrs. Arthur
Kemp is exceedingly happy 10 it's pose

tone that is given the portrait is GER
tsinly weird, and, as one woman said. it
does make Mrs. Roche look as though
she hal died and had been dug up
again. But do not object to it; think
it is rather fascinating. The pose is
most artistic. Mrs. Roche is dressed in
white satin which the queer tone Of the
portrtit turns to greenish grey. 1t.
like Mrs. Kemp's, is severely plain and
sleeveless.
Really. think tho most important
point to be considered in dressing for a
portrait 10 sleeves. lido not know any
thing that can make or mar a woman 9
appearance as much as sleeves. and
sleeves that are out Of fashion nearly
always border on the grotesque, how
ever smart they may have been when in
the fashion. As portraits are suppOse ed
to endure forever, and sleeves will come
and sleeves will go" in the interim, l
shall follow Mrs. Kemp's and Mrs.
Bvrke Roche's lead and not wear any
when sit for my protrait.
Mrs. Clarence Macksy's portrait by
Chartran is one OF the largest at the ex.
hibition. There il too much background
to it too much dress. too many flowers
too much Of a muchness altogether TO
please me.

was surprised to see how plainly the
women out OF frames were gowned that
afternoon. II seemed to me to be
splendid opportunity for the patrons s=es
of the show-and their name is legion
to lend brilliancy to the occasion by ap-
pearing in their best bibs and fuckers.
For some reason they did not. i have

Queen Elizabeth's gown, a bed hanging
Of Prince Charles Edwards, and a few
additional articles. only fetched four
guineas. An antique chest that belong
ed to Mary Queen Of Scots. was sold for
three pounds ten. A mixed lot which
fetched nine pounds comprised the fol-
lowing: The key Of Lochleven Castle,
that Mary threw into the loch when she
made her escape in 1903; a bowl that
was her property; miniature of her;
some letters of Sir William Wallace; a
piece OF the coffin Of Robert Bruce, and
some OF the cloth Of gold that was wrap
ped around his body. Very cheap. all
thie, was it not? But the lowest item Of
all was the skull Of Lord Darnley, that
sold for four shillings and sixpence. II
he was worth little when living, death
has certainly not enhanced his value.
People say that these curious relics
would have been sold to better advan-
tage in London; but the fact is that we
are nothing just now if not modern.
Is it true that one of our loveliest
American widows is about to marry an
actor, and that the heated dispute be-
tween the lucky man and a popular
Marquis (which was the talk OF the clubs
for days. arose on account Of a breach
Of confidence on the part of the happy
man? l do not believe all the story.
The actors conceit is we'll known, and
the lady, so far, keeps her own counsel.
But the peer breathes blood and

The death OF Christopher Sykes re-
moves from London society one OF its
best known figures. He was long the
intimate friend, or rather the toady and
at the same time the butt of royalty
As he was of almost colossal build,
though rather loose jointed. no one who
knew him by sight alone would have
ever suspected him Of being the "old
woman" he was. There was something
about bis air. something in his voice aud
his pose. that when you sat and talked
to him you would not have been in the
least surprised had he pulled out Of his
pocket a piece Of tatting and set to
work on an antimacassar. From him

that was mentioned. Royalty had con-

great object of Christopher Sykes life
was to be on terms of intimacy with
persons. Although he came
from sturdy Cumberland stock he was
the quintessence Of a snob. He would
submit to gibes and sneers from anyone
whom he considered of sufficient i'm
portance. He had no innate love for
sport, but when past middle age he risk
ed his neck in the hunting field so that
he might keep up with the Prince OF
Wales and his friends. And when the
