1t Is certainly not true, says Golfers
Weekly that small hands are bred by
choice descent, for in one family the
hands Of both women and men are found
different in size and in every other quail
ity. The individual woman of the people
stretches and hardens her hand and bat
ters her nails on her own account, so that
months Of care would not retrieve Il; but
doubtless her baby hand was much the
same as a rich womans In her own ba-
byhood. English women and Americans,
with their blonde hands, are admired de-
lirlousy for their one beauty by the dark
er races But, at any rate, to English
eyes, there Is loveliness also IN the fine
hand that has clear brown color in place

Perhaps the most striking thing In this
years exhibit at the New York Sketch
Club is a bust OF an African beauty,
modelled after life,' the work of 7. Frolic.
A romantic and withal pathetic story,
says an exchange, is connected with the
bust About two years ago Mr.. Frolic
visited South Africa on a professional
tour and located at Johannesburg. A
friend advised him 10 get a native girl
to look after his studio, adding that he
believed that some OF these girls might
serve as models for striking effects Mr.
Frolic adopted the suggestion, and In a
day or two started for a Zulu village.
The chief, on being appealed to. urged
Mr.. Frolic to take his own daughter, a
girl OF 49, named Ifafa. The girl was
magnificent creature. tall and straight and
with a figure which might well excite the
envy of many society woman. She
was delighted with the prospect Of going
to the city, and this being the case. Mr.,
Frolc paid s125 for her services. Ifafa
arrived a few days later and In a short
time demonstrated her usefulness in keep
ing the studio in order.
In johannesburg she came to be known
as 'the bronze Venus" She remained
there for a year Then a malignant fever
swept up from the South and Mr.. Frolic
urged her to go home to her own peo-
pie. where she would have been safe.
Ifafa for the first time refused to obey
him. In a day or two the sculptor was
stricken with the fever and for weeks lay
in a critical condition. Throughout his
illness che dusky beauty brought fruit
and flowers TO the door OF his room, INTO
which she was not allowed to enter. Mr..
Frolic knew that in order 10 get these
flowers the girl had sometimes to travel
many mics into the country. Eventually
he was sufficiently recovered 90 travel and
physicians ordered him out of the couu-
try. Ifafa suggested, and that doctors
agreed that If Mr.. Froiic would walk to
Durham, several hundred miles distant.
taking 1t by the easiest stages, his health
would be restored. She and a couple of
negro servants accompanied him, and The
girls prediction was completely verified.
On arriving at the sea coast the sculptor
was in splendid condition. He found that
a ship was about to start for London.
He secured passage, and after handsome
iy paying Ifafa for her care babe her
good-by and went on board. Just as the
vessel was about to start the girl was
found hidden in an obscure corner Of the
vessel She wished TO go with Mr.. Frolic,
but as this was obviously out of the ques-
ton she was taken ashore forcibly. In
few minutes the vessel had Jeff the
wharf and the sculptor with tear-dlmmed
eyes, saw the faithful girl kneeling at the
waters edge. with hands implorlngly
stretched toward the re3eding vessel
Among the relics which Mr.. Frolic
brought back with him was a cast or che
dark hued Princess From this he made
the splendid bust now on view at the
sketch club exhibit. He and other judges
regard 1t as the best piece Of work he
has ever done.
There are many girls who are Stunned
BY men, and for the most part the fault
lies with themselves.
The girl who never exercises herself to
be agreeable unless she can have every
thing her own way Is one of them, for
there Is not a man alive who viii give
in everything to a girl.
The girl who scolds is another type;
she may be perfectly good-tempercd. bur
she has contracted the scOlding habit and
