ABOUT ART STUDENTS.
where do the art students come from?
Well a large percentage are from the
interior-young men and women from
the cities, from the smaller towns. from
the villages and even from the open
country who have displayed some knack
at drawing at home and have been en-
couraged by their friends to develop
what talent they have. But most OF
them have not enough talent TO make IL
worth while, and many come here with
out money ~ speak OF, trusting to luck
for some kind OF occupation by which
to earn a living while studying.
perhaps one-third OF the students in
both the big schools / have mentioned
are girls They frequently lind 1t decid-

There are four large and important
art schools Is New York. The largest
is the Art Students League and the
oldest is the Academy of Design. Be-
sides these there are the Chase School

tuition includes many things beside pic

designers as well as artists strictly so

A privat decent of Leipsio university
called one day on Professor Johann Ed
ward Erdmann at Halle The aged
Hegelian was physically very weak, and
he could not rise from the easy chair in
which he lay. But under his long white
hair the eyes shone full of intelligence.
After conyersing for awhile about the
professor timorously long history Of
philosophy, the young man said, half
in fun:
Herr Professor, who don t you carry
on your history. You make all the ear
lier philosophers lead right up to Hegel.
and then you end. just as if be were t )

haner and the others deserve volume,

straight and seriously at his visitor.

THE SUMMER GIRLS HAT.
It Is Trimmed With Eagle Feathers and
Fluffy StufEa

EAuAJ Re0AASs
/ think all good American women
ought to tack little act of thanks to a
beneficent providence to their nightly
prayers because they are Americans and
were not born in Eaughty Spain. If
they had been, they would have been
Spanish women, and they would have no
beautiful bonnets OF hats, for they wear
mantiilas in that country.
True, mantillas are pretty and coquet-
fish and all that but there is no variety
in them, and variety is the spice of life.
There are no spring flowers ON their
spring hats, summer blossoms have no
place there, and all the delicious piles of
lace, feathers, ribbons, velvets and, in
fact, more things than can mention
now, are for others, not for the Spanish
ladies'. feel sorry for them.
The shepherdess shapes were rather
lost sight Of for little WHILE but now
they have regained their first position,
and are SO very becoming and graceful
that it is no wonder. They are made of
rice straw, chip, neapoitan and rough
and ready. The newest has the magpie
effect-that is to say, the mixture of
black and white very prominent. White
crepe lisse for a foundation overlaid
with fine chantilly is very elegant. The
delicate pattern of the black lace shows
up exquisitely over it.
Large, soft leghorn. milan and several
other flexible braids are made with wide
brims, and they are turned and twisted
in every direction, and the trimming is
set in accordingly. These are essentially
for the summer girl. Some are piled
high with fluffy light plumes. The
white plumes have black polka dots on
them at irregular intervals, and the
black ones have white dots-not all, but
the latest There is round turbanlike
hat of glistening rushlike straw. In
brown, with all the trimming in differ
ent shades Of brown, it is a handsome
hat.
For travelling there seems to be an
unwritten law to the effect that close
dark straws with one side tipped up
ward is just the thing These have
trimming Of the least perishable kind,
like eagle and fishhawk feathers, and a
little drapery of some light material.
For small girls there are the prettiest
hats have ever seen, think. The hat
is of light rough straw with the brim
bent in irregular waves and medium
high crown. Girls of to IL may bave
taffeta ribbon and perhaps few deli
cate flowers like lilies of the valley,
blue forgetmenots or daisies. Daisies
never loose their popularity. Few hats
for children have plumes now.
For the little Dotty Dimples the shape
of the hatlnay be the same, with fittings
and double frillings of white null, with
two to three very narrow ruffies at the
edge of them all These are sometimes
pale pink or blue. In apple green they
look lovely, and SO cool. Sometimes
these hats are turned into poke bonnets
by skillful manipulation, and the inner
part is faced with a pretty shirring.
Out of ten hats l counted seven of
them shepherdess shape. One was all
black, of lace and ribbon, with mar

row trimming of red satin at the edge
and three blood red roses under the
brim. Nearly all the pattern bonnets
now here show low, compact effects.
The designs for fall gowns are re-
markable for one thing, the length of
the skirt, which is made to trail from 6
to IL inches i'll the back and to lie upon
the ground an inch i'll front. There arc
overskirts. both real and simulated,
some in tablier form and others pointed
front and back. The tailor suits will
have rows upon rows of galloon, some
times reaching quite to the waist. And
there are rakish looking little jackets
which reach scarcely an inch below the
waist. The new black goods i'll plain
surfaces are being made up now, and
one sees fewer tucks and fewer narrow
ruffles, while the tuhic skirt with its
sprung founce is shown in many varie-
ties.
Lace of the heavy kinds, like real
Irish point or its imitation and vene-
tian point or its imitation, is the fash
ionable lace. Luxeuil is another heavy

Metal trimming is not very much in
demand with the exception of the fancy
belts. Some Of these look like FURNISHED
snakes around the slim waists Others
have links and the majority detached
ornaments on leather belts.
New colors are mostly lavender brick
dust red and all the golden browns.
Greens are also shown, principally in
the tender lettuce and spinach shades.
Blues, It goes without saying, are in
full vogue. Light tans and modes are
well liked and often trimmed with thick
white braid and have accessories of
cherry red. Brick dust red plaided with
garnet is a really pretty combination

MISS THuRssYs MEDAL.
It Was Given Originally by Czar Alexan-
der III to Tietiens.


No one can lecet Miss Emma Thursby
without noticing that she wears always
about her neck or fastened at some part Of
her gown a large medal. Its history is
full of interest Alexander IL emperor of
Russia, was an ardent lover of music At
the time of his visit to Great Britain he
heard for the first time at Her Majestys
theatcr in London Therese Caroline Tiet-
jens the great prima donna of the day.
She was then giving her impersOnation Of
Valentine in The Hugucnots. Alex
ander was enchanted with her mighty So
prano voice. She became great favorite
with him, and he would never miss, if
possible an opportunity to hear her sing.
As a mark of his favor he presented her
with the medal, simply requesting that at
her death she would bcqueath it to one as
great as She.
The medal is fully inches in diameter
and is of Persian antiquity, although the
large turquoise in the center is Russian
amulet 1t is supposed to prosper the
wearer and is a token of distinction In
its peculiar workmanship it is without
rival very long chain, also Persian in
design, is attached to the medal On the
death of Mime Tietjens in England, Oct
the medal to Hcrniine Rudersdorff, who
was then probably the best appreciated
concert singer in Europe. She had been
born at Ivanowsky in the Ukraine, where
her father was known as famous violin
ist. In 1912 she was engaged by the
Boston festivals, and aftcrward made her
permanent home in this country. Her
singing of Medca at the Crystal palace is
still remembered by many. After she re-
tired from public lifo she devoted herself
to the teaching of music. Miss Emma
Thursby was one of her pupils.
Miss Thursby was born in Brooklyn.
She studied under Achille Erani, and at
Milan under San Giovanni and LampertL
While she was completing her studies in
America with Nine Rudersdorff the latter
had an opportunity to become acquainted
with her voice At the time of her ex-
tended trip through Europe she was greet
ed everywhere with enthusiasm In
Sweden the people took the horses from
her carriage that they might have the
honor of drawing it themselves. 1t is not
surprising that to so beloved a pupil
Mmo. Rudersdorff should have bequeathed
the medal. 1t is said to be the only orna-
ment Miss Thursby ever wears.-Ex-

Now, to judge by some of the reverend

difficulty in bringing his knowledge to

This was pretty hard treatment for one

New York English.

We have been told by keen and in
telligent observer who has returned to
this city after a sojourn Of two years
abroad that the average New Yorker is
becoming very careless with his Eng
lish; not only does he junble his words
together in every conceivable sequence,
but he makes gesture to supply noun
or verb and rattles off slang the analogy
of which is often Ineligible only to
himself. Without recalling for the mo-
ment any specific examples, we believe
our friend to be correct. He does not go
far enough, however; there is another
side. If the New Yorker at times tries
to get an idea out in the fewest possible
words, on other occasions he is tediously
