a long, tedious work. she added, but
a delightful one
Miss Kussner is said to take three
months for miniature, although she
can paint three at one time, complet-
ing them at the end of three months,
so that in the course of year she can
really turn off twelve pictures.
She is most successful at painting
society women who are not too beau
tiful, as it gives her a chance to ideal
ize them. She has done very few por-
traits of children but within the past
few years has painted every society
woman of prominence in London. She
receives immense prices for her work.
Miss Kussner has been often asked
to exhibit her miniatures at charitable
affairs and she has frequently respond
ed. At the New York Portrait Show,
she suddenly withdrew her miniatures,
owing to the light in which they We're
placed, saying that they were not set
where either the workmanship or the
expression of the faces showed off to
advantage. Miss Kussner's friends
also said that she felt hurt at the fact
that they were grouped with photo
graphs.

MISS PAUNCEFOTE's GOODBYE.

Miss Pauncefote, daughter of Sir
Julian, is preparing to say goodbye
to Washington society as her father
is about to return to England-so the
diplomatic rumor gves.
Miss Pauncefote is the young wom-
an who was injured by one of the bricks
which was hurled through the En-
bassy by an insane man the last of
the year. 1t is said that the English
girl, with characteristic pluck, held her
injured ankle with one hand and while
rocking to and fro with the pain, be-
gan to grieve over the wreck of the
beautiful window worth nearly LOCO,
saying that it was worse than her
ankle.
Miss Pauncefote is a young wom-
an of striking features and of almost
classic beauty. She wears her hair
in the prevailing mode of very high
pompadour, and her high forehead is
unrelieved except by suggestion of a
curl in the middle. She dresses well
and her absence will be greatly re-
GREETED.

4 MILLIONAIRES' CLUB.
1t is Formed for the Purpose of Getting
Rich Husbands for Nice Girls in
Humble circumstances

A millionaires' club is being formed
in the United States for the purpose of
inducing, even pledging rich men to
marry poor girls.
On the face of this there is some
thing very interesting, but on looking
deeper one sees a very great number
of difficulties which would lie in the
way of such a club.
1t is with the view of obviating
all these differences and making the
club a useful factor in the society of
the world that a few quiet millionaires
are at work shaping it.
1t is we'll known that money mar
ries money. When a daughter of John
D. Rockefeller marries a son of Cyrus
Mccormick, and when the daughter
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, ST., weds the
son of William C. Whitney, then
Americans begin to wake up to the fact
that there is an American aristocracy
no less arbitrary in its lines than the
aristocracy of Europe.
The excuse fer these marriages
if excuse there need be-is that the
young people are thrown together
naturally by their social position, and
so they form a liking for each other
which results in marriage.
This is all very we'll, argues the
Millionaires' Club, but matters should
De so arranged that rich men should
become acquainted with poor girls
and marriages result just the same.
In this way new families will be in
PRODUCED into society and money will
be distributed.
The Millionaires' Club proposes to
exert its influence to introduce into
high society such poor girls as are
eligible by family and education to
become society leaders.
The growing West and Old South
has thousands of these girls every
year who only lack opportunity.
The Millionaires' Club which will
consist of as many millionaires as can
be persuaded to join it, will be of
men married and unmarried. The
married men are to pledge themselves
TO use their influence with their fami-
lies to bring to the city such young
women as they may know who live in
secluded towns, for city visit These
young women are to be eligible from
a rich mans standpoint Good look
ing, refined, we'll educated and of good
family, they will lack only wealth.
Every married millionaire who
joins this club pledges himself willing
to receive such girl as his daughter
ln-law; every unmarried millionaire
who joins pledges himself willing to
take one as his wife. This is the first
step toward the end, they say.

THE CHILDREN
OF SANTIAGO.
This View of a Street Scene Can
Be Taken as Representative
of Any City in Cuba.

If all but the children were ban
ished from Santiago there would still
be large population. The streets
seem fairly swarming with them and
remind one of "The Sums" on a Sun
day when the street arabs are in full
force.
The Governor of Santiago has been
using every possible expedient to get
these children into school and when,
therefore, the whole of the school
board recently resigned, he was in
temporary dispair. But he managed,
however, to patch up the difference be-
tween the school boaNf and the Mayor
and a regular school system is now in
Santiago's near future.

ing dull and stupid, are particularly

WHERE THERE Is SKATING.
Now is the Time When the Northern
Girl Enjoys Herself to
the Utmost.
THINGS SHE LOVES TO WEAR

NEW YORK, Jan. lit is pleas
ant to live in cold climate if you en-
joy outdoor sports. Winter in the
North brings with it a great variety
of good times, and not the least OF
these is the skating season, which, If
a cold winter, begins promptly at
Christmas-at latest-and lasts until
Washington's birthday.
We are becoming more like the
English in enjoying the holidays out
of town. Mine host gathers together
congenial crowd of young people and
spends Christmas, New Years, or, in
at the country home, prolonging the
vacation for several days beyond the
actual season.
VERY ENGLISH.
The few days away will bring back
the roses to the cheeks and the bright
ness to the eyes and put the ring in the
voice Of the tired matron, and as for
the society bred. she will positively
bloom again.
Skating is the favorite country
pastime, so don't forget to put a skat-
ing gown in your trunk, for every
country house has it's lake, nor is the
skating suit a hap-hazard affair, but
a gown made for the. purpose with no
SdSu SluS nOr IlUUOuS 10 lily.
A short jacket, perhaps furlined,
and scant skirt much shorter than
the sweeping skirts for this year, are
main features of. a skating gown, with
a set of furs and a small hat that can
be pinned securely to the head.
Choose a heavy or medium weight
cloth, but have it made as scant in
every way as was a lovely castor col
ored melton trimmed with stone mar
ten.
The waist was plain and tight fit
ting, with the fronts flaring open, over
a vest of the fur.
The sleeve caps and f1aring cellar
was also of the fur; then from the belt
swept down close fitting circular
ruff1e, lined and outlined with fur.
Tiny dark pearl buttons and stitch
ing gave a pretty finish. A small fur
edged hat was surmounted by a GRIM
son tipped bird whose wired wings
swung with every wind.
A STYLISH SUIT.
Another stylish suit was made of
olive brown cloth plated with black
and trimmed with black cub-fur. The
yoke and sleeve caps were of the fur,
and, instead of buttons, six little ami
NAL heads were on the front of the
double breasted blouse which had the
effect of a broad box plat extending
below the belt and ending in a square
tab.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-15

The broad black velvet belt was
held by a large silver Puritan buckle.
A narrow bandS of far was about six
inches from the bottom of the plain
tight skirt. The hat was a little black
winged affair, showing on the left side
bunch of the tiniest orange tips.
Sometimes you will see the plain
est suits of golf cloth in demurest
shades of brown, blue or gray, but
showing by design or accident the gay

Then again such stunning gown
will go skimming by that you wonder
that women can be content with the
palmer ones. A study in grays was
made of smoke gray ladies' cloth,
heavily braided in silk braid of the
same shade. The odd shaped little
Jacket had a full circular ruff1e all
around and gave the happy wearer a
slight resemblance to the proud pouter
pigeons at the poultry show.
This little jacket was worn over a
checked black and red and white l.el-
vet shirt waist, the red the same shade
as the crown of the modified mob-bon-
net. 1t is delicious red, between a
cherry and magenta, and is known
as the Automobile red.

hand she keeps a pleasant tattoo upon

4 MAKER OF
PRETTY WOMEN.
Miss KuSsner Learned the Trick
of Drapery, and Then the
Secret Was Told.
IDEALIZED HER WOMEN.
Younger Portrait Painters Are Now
Taking Up Miniature Work
With Success.
THREE HAIRS MAKE A BRUSH.

Amalia Kussner, the miniature
painter who sprang into success in
such phenomenal way, is said to owe
her popularity to her draperies. Art
lists had painted before her day, but
not with one half the success of Kuss-
ner. For a while her work was puzzle
to them; then, all of a sudden, some
one discovered that it was the pose and
the drapery which made the miniature.
Be the secret what it may Amalia
Kussner has enjoyed a most remark
able success on both sides of the ocean,
one of her latest miniatures being that
of the Prince Of Wales whom she has
painted in a most delightful way.
At the recent Portrait Show in

this picture of the Prince of Wales
The exhibit was a most beautiful one
and never failed to find crowd of
admirers around the big glass in which
the pictures lay.
'In painting miniature Miss
Kussner said recently, young painters
must look carefully to the size of the
brush The smallest brush is almost
too large for the work. A special
brush must be obtained and each

The divided skirt in winter has it's
great advantages as every woman

warmth, but it's stability. 1t does not

are far from masculine. They look like
any other skirts, only a little fuller,
perhaps. Surely none could object
to them.
Shoes with very heavy soles are
worn upon the wheel, with leggings
that reach above the knee. The Patti

for the grandmother of the family.
