Peter Marie, one of the wealthiest old
beauX of New York, has long been col
lecting miniatures, one of the most
charming being a portrait of Mrs.
Cleveland, made when she was the
"girl-wife' Of the president of the
United States. Miss Kussner's minia-
lures set other art collectors wild. and
soon all the society women of the coun-
try were begging her to paint them on
ivory.
Miss Kussner's harvest was a harvest
for other miniature painters, for the
demand became great enough to keep
them all supplied with work. For years
Miss Kussner has been unable to ac-
cept half the orders sent her, and it is
said that now she takes her choice of
patrons, selecting those who are most
interesting tosher.
All the. crowned heads of Europe are
said to have posed for this dainty little
painter of the human face, and she has
succeeded in catching not only the like
ness. but the character. Miss Kussner
paints all her characters differently
draped, each in accord with the style
which is most becoming; and in the
selection of the dress she shows much
taste.

HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLES.

In the House Of Too Much Trouble
Lived d lonely little boy:
He was eager for a playmate.
He was hungry for a toy.
But twas always too much bother
Too much dirt and too much noise
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left a book upon the floor.
Or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or be failed to close the door.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
Things must be presIce and trim
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter piaythings,
lie must never rOmp and play;
Every room must be in order
And kept quiet all the day
He had never had COmBanfOns.
He had never owned a pet
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set i'm order
Every book is in its place.
And the lonely little fellow
Wears d smile upon mis- face.
In the House of Too Much Trouble
He Is silent and at rest
In the House of Too Much Trouble
With a lily on his breast.

On her young WOuld-be bcaux.

Never q care has she
No one could help but love her
In her simplicity.
Only a fair young lady.
Proud as a queen of old
Lovers who seek ner favor
Meet with but glances cold.
NdugHt but prince can WOO her.
y prince with an hOnOred name.
Love is to her but folly.
The dream of her life is fame.
Only a serious woman,
Charms slowly fading away
Her prince never came TO seek her
Her head is threaded with gray.
Praying for some one to WOO;
Gone are her queenly ambitions
Any old fellow will do.
Only a maiden of fifty.
Skillfully spreading her net:
Stu there is hone i'm her bosom
That some one may Sobble her vet:
rants ana cosmetics and powders
And clad in the briefst of dress.
When seen on her wheel at a distance
on think her but twenty, or less.

the front. The cape was a pronounced
success.
As winter deepens. the automobile
and English driving coat are seen in
the heavier materials such as velvet
and fur, the latter being too expensive,
however, for general use The velvet
long coats are seen in all cOlors cut in
Princess shape, and snugly fitted to the
figure. Among other characteristics.
they have the square shoulders, built
out like mans sleeve top. the closely
fitting coat sleeve, the full. tight-fftting
bust the snug waist and the splendid
set upon the hips, Below the hips the
long coat, instead of falling straight
like the ulster. follows the line of the
gown and sets well out in a long. grace
full sweep.
These long coats are immensely
smart, and, in the darker shades. are
becoming to every figure no matter
how large. Those who could not ad-
mire the straight English box coat can
find nothing against the Princess long
cloak of velvet.
The modes of autumn and early win
ter are easily transformed into those
of mid-winter by the addition of GER
tain features. One of these is the Me-
dici collar of fur. This lines the out
side or velvet collar and curls over it
little. The broadest lapels of fur are
added and down the front there are
immense bands of fur as wide as pos
sible.

THE HIP TRIMMING.

To relieve the plainness upon the
hips, they sometimes applique broad
patterns of braid around the hips and
trim the skirt with a deep pattern of
applique.
OF the gown that is Worn underneath
not much can be said. 1t may be re-
marked, however, that the long Prin-
cess cloak can be removed.
A small taffeta bodice trimmed with
bands of ribbon, run horizontally across
the bust, is worn underneath, and a
skirt of black satin trimmed up the
front with a trimming of applique or
chenille, that soft, delicate tracery
which is so much seen. This gown
takes up little space underneath the
Princess, yet is pretty when the cloak
is removed.
Fashions in winter wraps are toward
the long, sweeping designs. They make
women look taller and more slender,
thus taking them nearer to the artistic
ideal. BEATRICE.

In Control Of New Course.


1t was reported last night in New York
city that Senator Patrick H. McCarren. in
connection with several prominent Tam
| many Hall members of Brooklyn, had pur-
chased the Empire City race track In 4onk-
ers. The purchase price was not given.
1t IL said to be the intention of Senator
| McCarren and his associates to conduct
meetings for running horses and to offer
purses and stakes sufficiently attractive to
induce owners of the prominent stables to
enter.
Among others reputed to be interested
with Senator McCarren in the track are
Philip II. Dwyer. president of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club. and Police Commissioner
John Il. Sexton 1t is believed that the po-
litical prestige the new owners carry will
make the Empire course conspicuous in
the racing world. and secure for 1t de-
sirable racing dates from the Jockey Club.
During the past season short fall meet
ing for runners was given under the man
agement Of Philip H. Dwyer, the greater
part Of the season being devoted to COM
petitions between harness horses.
AS a racing man Senator McCarren came
into considerable prominence through the
ownership of SurmiSe and Beau Gallant
and the purchase of Bellarco for Richard
Croker. Beau Gallant is the only horse
