G. D. GIBSON'S
BEAUTIFUL MODEL
Mrs. Gibson Win Pose for the
Summer Girl of go. A Real
Queen of Beauty.

The announcement made by friend
of the Gibson family, that hereafter
Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson would pose
for all of her husbands drawings, was
greeted with such a degree of popular
approval, that it showed at once the es-
timation in which Mrs. Gibson's beauty
is held by the whole artistic world.
There is scarcely a model in New
York who does not claim to have been
a Gibson model, but when all have
been discussed it is found that Gibson
has but one model, and that is his wife.
Although it was as "Gibsons@ Girl
that Mrs. Gibson first became known to
the general public five years ago, she
was known some years before that to
the social world.
AS Irene Langhorne she went to New
Orleans the year Of her debut and fas-
cinated the people of the Crescent City
during Mardi Gras. She had the
triumph and, at the same time. the
modification of outshining the Queen
of Comus and her beauty called forth
a society column so ardent and lavish
that her father, Schiller Langhorne, Of
Albemarle, Va, wanted his daughter
to come back home.

or the living of life. The latter is
not necessarily one of extraordinary
acts. 1t may be quite ordinary. A

ual has used the powers nature has Civ

poses.
When the whist player has lost no
tricks, he deserves as much credit, at
least, as when he has gained some by
mistakes of adversaries. We have seen
cases where a slam was made, while
the losing side played the more per-
fectly. Those that won the thirteen
tricks did their utmost to lose, but
could not succeed. The adversaries
took advantage of every opportunity,
but could not accomplish something
which was impossible, and then the dis

Later Miss Langhorne led the Patri-
archs' ball in New York City and, be-
fore the ball was over, she received gra-
cious words from the grand danes OF
New York City who had criticised Ward
McAllister for going outside the metro-
polls for belle.
In Richmond Miss Langhorne was
queen for two whole years of triumph-
ant belledom. In the society play which
was a feature every year Of Richmond.

and he to fall in love at first sight. Thu
courtship was devoted one on his
part, and finally at Mirador, the hand
some country seat of the Langhorne
family in Virginia, the engagement was
announced.
These who followed Mr.. Gibson's
work at this time, when his style was
being moulded, declare that Miss Lang-
horne's face and Miss Langhorne's fig
ure can be seen in all the Gibson pic
lures. Certainly, the most unpreju-
diced can follow the splendid lines
which are her ehiefest charm. and can
see the same magnificent pose of chin
and head.
The Gibsons were married In Baltl-
more four years ago. and Richard
Harding Davis, who had previously
travelled in Europe with Mr.. Gibson,
was one of the ushers. The wedding
was attended by representative people
from everywhere. and the youna cou-

and perfect in shape and in talking she
uses them constantly. Her teeth are
described by an interviewer as "a deli
cate row of snow-white pearls" and
her smile is just the lovliest thing ever
witnessed.
Marie Corelli is woman OF intense
nervous force and marvellous magma
ton. The warm southern blood is in
her veins, giving her that peculiar crea-
tive power which can only belong to
the tropics. She is a painter, a writer
and musician, putting the art of all
three in her literary work.
When at home, which is nearly all
the year, the authoress is always ex-
quisitely dressed. her favorite colors
being pale blue and white. She dresses
frequently in a Vatican gown of tur-
quoise blue satin, profusely trimmed
with beautiful lace She works con-
stantly, and is never happier than when
at her desk.
Although a great lion in London's
literary world, Marie Corelli goes out
but little, and then only to visit the
opera on an exhibition of paintings.
She is devoted to the work of her step
brother and finds no greater joy than
in praising his celebrated work, "The
Love Letters of a Violinist," for Eric
Mackay is poet of no mean worth.
1t is marvellous thing about Marie
Corelli that she has never visited the
countries of which she writes. She had
never seen the Land of the Midnight
Sun when she wrote "Thelma," nor
had she any worldly experience when
she penned that marvelously worldly
book, Vendetta"

Marie Corelh is the most interesting
figure of the literary world. Marvellous
stories are told of her birth and parent
age; but, as a matter of fact, she is an
Italian of the Venetian type. She was
adopted, when very young, by DR..
Charles Mackay, the author, and at his
death she was left in the guardianship
of DR.. Mackay's stepson, Eric Mackay,
the poet.
In such congeniaI surroundings Marie
Corelli grew up to womanhood with
strong instinct for music. She was
given a thorough musical education,
and she intended to devote her life to
it, but all of a sudden she had a desire
to write; and so started out upon "A
Romance of Two Worlds" She COM
pleted the book before she was 20 years
old.
It's instantaneous success gave her a
position in the literary world; and she
has since devoted herelf to literary
work. She keeps house on Longbridge
Road, London, and is the mistress of a
very nice brownstone mansion with
typical small backyard upon which the
windows of her study look.
Marie Corelli is small, slight and very
delicate. Her hair is gold, her eyes
blue, and her complexion the purest
pink and white. When you tell her
that you supposed all Italians were
dark, she will remind you that the
Venetian type is fair.
Her coloring is so delicate, yet so
high, that she might be China figure

are specially beautiful. They are small

Women who want color ii their faces
that Is. natufal color must take
plenty Of exercise and enjoy fresh air
To stay in a room which is not well
ventilated after having been out for a
walk is as bad as having no walk at all
TIE splendid compilations and color OF
English women are due largely to their
judicious outdoor life.
The cause of sallow skins in young
people is, as a rule, lack OF exercise.
Fresh air should enter the living as
we'll as the sleeping rooms.
All outdoor exercise should be in
dulged in with sensible precautions for
preserving the beauty of the complex
ion. Both wind and sun when too
strong are quite as harmful as when
too little Of their influence Is exper-
fenced. A wheelwoman who spins
along through the open air in the hot
sun as often as in the shade, protected
by nothing but a small, almost hrim-
less hat over her face, must expect TO
experience the very worst effects OF
wind and weather.
Personally I am very enthusiastic
about wheeling. Taken in moderation
it has very beneficial results. Two
hours daily bicycle riding is enough
for any woman, and it should not be
at a greater speed than ten miles an
hour. Anything over this is not con-
ducive to health. Bicycling will often
give to a dyspeptic a vigorous appe-
tite, benefit sluggish circulation and
give a more cheerful view of life to a
nervous individual harassed by the
cares of business.
More exercise than have indicated
impairs the delicate organisms OF the
body. The heart is mainly harmed by
excessive wheeling. 1t causes conges-
ton of that organ, which soon becomes
chronic and is then followed by valvu-
lar trouble, especially on the right side
(the tricuspid valve).
On alighting from the wheel, unless
the body is in normal condition, there
should be no indulgence in cold drinks.
At such times even the beverages least
harmful in themselves are very dan
gerous, and the drinking of them is at
tended with grave perils.
When the wheelwoman whose COM
plexion is under most circumstances
fawless sees discolorations appear on
the face, it indicates that the liver and
kidneys are not in good working or
der.
1t would be just as we'll for the
cyclist who is fond of ascending a steep
grade at a good pace to remember the
lesson taught by that supposedly least
intelligent of animals-the mule. When
the mule goes up hill the longer and
sleeper the ascent the slower he plods

And Stunned INN, for he never could
Remember what was trump.
The treatment of a whist hand re-
seElbles the life Of human being. The
player is the parent whose influence is
strong in the early and middle stages,
but often powerless towards the close.
Both have something entrusted to them
which they must guide and direct into
the proper channels. Neither can
transform or recreate. We may
for convenience, divide the subject into
six periods.
The first is preliminary and may be
lovingly at the face of the infant and
builds a glorious future for it, hoping
that the child will become a man
among men. She forgets temporarily
all the pitfalls of this evil world. but
dreams only of triumphant genius and
an admiring multitude. Even so does
the whist player pick up a hand which
he hopes will realize his highest as
aspirations. Then does imagination
carry him to wild extremes. His
trumps look like an invincible regiment
and his long suit seems an irresistible
band of invaders. The great danger to
either parent or player during this pc
Rod is that frequent longing will form
such desire for certain object that
abandonment will become difficult
when the circumstances point to a diff
ferent course.
Second comes the opening lead, which
is similar to childhood. The mother
influences the career of her child She
tries to develop his good traits, and
strengthen his weaknesses. Her res
possibility is so great that well may
she hesitate and ponder. In like man
ner does the opening lead sometimes
determine the ultimate destiny of the
hand. Here is where the theorists do
not agree. But in life we frequently
find examples of men who were raised
under the most unfavorable circum
stances, and have developed with char
acters undefled, ana strength unbrok-
en-. The hand in whist will sometimes
make the same number of tricks with
every conceivable opening lead.
Third comes the period where the
strengths and weaknesses of the hand
begin to show. This is like the tran

DEATH OF "CAVENDISH. "

Henry Jones, better known in whist
circles as "Cavendish" or THE Mas
ter" died at his residence in London,
on February 10th. His health had been
declining for some time and his death
was not unexpected.
"Cavendish" was the worlds author
ity on Whist, and he is not likely to
have a successor. Pole and Drayson
are sound thinkers and lucid writers
on the game, but they have never given
it the unremitting attention which
"Cavendish' did, and it is not discred-
iting them in the least TO say they will
not take his place. Whitfield and Berg
holt are looking into the game very
deeply. and have the advantage of a
mathematical training to aid them,
but while they are promising students
there is not so much ground to explore
as when "Cavendish' took it up, and
the whist public's standard Of skill is
much higher. Moreover, America,
which was always disposed to be kind
to ''Cavendish, will not concede here
after that it is necessary for the mother
country 10 graduate us. On the con-
trary, the opinion prevails here, and
| il was shared in by "Cavendish." that
our players are far ahead Of the En-
glishmen in general skill, because We
have given such careful study to the
game, and INDUCED in system oil

err could consistently assume that he is
any better qualified to pass judgment
on questions OF play than are hundreds
of other players throughout the States.
Authority in this countary, therefore,
will find expression in the consensus of
opinion as collected, considered and
disseminated by the American Whist
League, which bears a relation to the
game Of Whist similar to that which
Congress bears to our civic life.
In 1892, when the game was first
being taken up mere in a generally
scientific spirit, the editor visited Lon

ance of the Master While reasonably

INFANT ABANDONED,
White Male Child Dies Apparently of
Starvation.

The dead wagon" connected with pot
ter's field called yesterday afternoon at the
morgue, and when it started over Capitol
Hill it contained the dead body of white
male infant. The emaciated condition of
the little body indicated that starvation
had caused death. An hour after the
driver of the vehicle had acted pallbearer
and undertaken the body was lowered a
short distance beneath the surface of the
ground, to be forgotten by all except its
parents. In the SPACE where the name of
the deceased should have been on the GER
tificate was written the word Unknown"
while the age was given as one month and
twenty days.
The true history of the child's birth will
perhaps never be made matter of record
and that death should have claimed the
little one is regarded by those who ham
died the body as blessing. When the boy
was only few days old he was taken by
his parents to the house of a colored wo-
man in an alley in the northwest section
of the city, and this woman agreed to
board him for a small sum each month.
She did the best she could for the infant,
but the money promised her was not paid.
The food she supplied failed to properly
nourish the child.
After death claimed the boy the colored
woman went III search of his parents She
had their names and addresses, as she
supposed but her inquiries convinced her
that she had been given a fictitious name.
