Botolph's exhibitions and at the Boston
Art club. Mrs. Fuller has enjoyed the
opportunity of travel and observation
in foreign lands. She was one of the
successful competitors for the decora-
ton of the Woman's building at the
| Worlds fair, her design representing a
group of Puritan women engaged at va
rious household tasks. 1t has been
| frequently reproduced. 1t was through
being asked to retouch fine old minia-
ture, an heirloom, that her attention
was called to miniature painting as a
vocation. Since she took up the work
in 1893 some of the best of her portrait
miniatures have been those of Mrs. J..
Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and her children,
Mrs. Lloyd McKim Garrison, Mrs. ia
cob Schiff. the Countess Seilern and 9TH
er well known society women. In 1899
Mrs. Fuller was elected member of
the Society of American Artists, MAX
ing one of about half a dozen women
thus honored. She has three fine pid-
lures at the Paris exhibition. Mrs Full.
ler's studio is at Windsor, VT, though
she spends part of the season in New
York.
Mrs. Virginia Reynolds of Chicago,
another artist whose portrait work has
entitled her to the honor Of membership
in the Society of American Miniature
Painters has temporarily a studio in
Chicago. There she has painted some
of the most fashionable women of that
city. Mrs Reynolds, originally an artist
in oils, has been a miniature painter
since 1896. After studying under the
best teachers Of the art she began
teaching and painting in Paris. In 1897
she sent a case of nine miniatures to the
Champs de Mars salon. and so fine was
the work that she was paid the compli-
ment Of election to associate member
ship in that august society, an honor
bestowed on only five other American
women. Mrs. Reynolds stay in Amer
lea is only temporary, her visit to this
country being to execute some impor-
tant commissions for pictures. After
completing orders in Chicago and New
York she expects to go to London or
Paris. Mrs Reynolds has also studied
in Munich and is both charming wo-
man and brilliant artist.
Miss Lydia Field Emmett, although
she has won praise in the field of min
iature painting, is, like Rhoda Holmes
Nichols. better known as painter in
pastels and water colors. Miss Emmett
has studied both in Paris and in New
York. MADGE PORTER.

other things that seemed suitable.
Then he sat close beside her and began
to talk about fiat rents. She grew
strangely silent. When he urged her to
name the day, she told him in cold and
measured tones that they must part,
that she would marry none but one
with money, and that such a one she
had already chosen. AT that he backed
away to get better look at her and
then, with a gesture of bitter contempt,
turned to leave her.

A GLOVE MARRIAGE.

-.
An extraordinary ceremony recently
took place in Amsterdam, with coun-
terpart in Africa. 1t appears that a
young man left Holland some years ago
to serve in the telegraph department of
the Transvaal. 1t had been his ambi,-
ton to make certain young lady in
Amsterdam his wife if he ever attained
to prosperity. But when success was
achieved he was unable to leave his
work for journey to Holland. In this
difficulty marriage by proxy-known
in Holland as a glove marriage-was
suggested. The details were all care
fully arranged, the difference of time
exactly calculated and continuous ca
Bile connections between Pretoria and
Amsterdam were secured.
The bridegroom and his friends as
sembled in the Hotel Kruger. An OPP
orator, using wire from the cable,
notified the lady's family in Holland
that all was in readiness, and the reply
came that the ceremony would then be-
gin. In the Amsterdam mansion a
friend of the bridegroom made the re-
sponses, and when the time came to
clasp hands lie produced a glove belong
ing to the bridegroom which he had
worn.
The proxy holding one end of the
glove and the bride the other, the prom

GENTLE worms.

1t has been well said that the gentle
words of a sweet voiced woman. love
freighted, will win from error souls
which can be reached by no other hui
man agency. A gentle voiced woman
has more power to calm the storms and
the hearts of men and the worlds tenn
pests than all the harsh and clashine
shrieks and stentorian tones on or nm
der the earth.
When one can hear the sweet notes
OF a mothers voice singing lullaby to
her baby in the dusk and observe how
calming it is to him, however cross and
fretful he may be, one can realize what
there is in human voice, and, though
one may not know bar of music from
a bar of soap or bank note from a
musical note, still he can discern the
difference between harsh, ABRUPT. dis
cordant sound and one gentle, persua-
sive and tender.

really is, though of white, as nothing
cleans so satisfactorily or SO easily.
Besides it is dainty and in accord with
any costume, elegant or plain, no mat
ter what the color.
The introduction Of flower hats made
from chiffon, with straw crowns over
laid with rose petals, lilac blooms or
pansy blossoms, is attributed to one
fair bride who made several to wear
with thin frocks. The idea is a clever
one and not difficult to duplicate.
Around a straw crown are fastened sew
eral finely plated chiffon frills, and
over the straw meander unstemmed
flowers which carry out the delusion in
color and detail.
Perfumes are to the fore. Nesting

hurry home as quickly as possible and
put the feet for 20 minutes in hot
mustard water. Care of the feet in
this way is important. because i'm
mersing the feet in water draws the
blood from the head, opens the pores,
causes the perspiration to flow, starts
a good circulation and so prevents
congestion. In this way many colds
and fevers are thrown off. After
bathing the feet the body should be
rubbed with alcohol. Never go out
for three hours after using the hot
foot bath. Always wear stout shoes.

chased some paints and canvas and
made portrait, which, by way of ex-
pertinent, she sent to the salon. 1t was
accepted and was by no means "skied.'
This decided her in her inclination to
be portrait painter. 1t was some years
later that she took up miniature paint
ing, the daintiness and delicacy of which
commended themselves to her taste.
She is especially fond of painting wo-
men, but prefers type remarkable for
beauty Of character Ather than mere
physical loneliness. Her success has
been unusual and marks her as one of
the most promising of American min
iature painters. She has painted such
well known people as Elizabeth Pencil

Uses were exchanged and the ceremony
was completed. A cablegram from the
bride to her husband. 5000 miles away,
gave him her wifely greeting, to which
he responded. There was a wedding
feast in Pretoria and another in Am
sterdam, and the cable was kept busy
with congratulations. Then the bride
said farewell to her family and went on
board the steamer to begin her voyage
to her new home.
The custom of the glove marriage
dates back to the old colonial days,
when they were more common than in
these times of rapid and cheap jour-
neys.

MRS. RowLAND's ADVICE FOR RAINY DAYS.

nURING the changeable spring
weather one should never think
of going out without an umbrella,
just as during the summer woman
never thinks of taking walk with
out parasol. For wet days a rainy
day costume is sensible, and even for
days when it is muddy the short rainy
day skirt is preferable to the heavy,
trailing one now used for street wear.
One should never take off winter
fiannels until the last of May. Should
the weather change or grow colder
warmer underclothing should always
be resumed.
Should one become drenched while

OWLS ON UMBRELLA HANDLES.

Owls on the handles of umbrellas are
popular at present. So also are gayly
colored parrakeets, perched on a bit of
wood, carved to look like tree branch.
The owl handled umbrella should be
just the thing for solemn professors
and erudite elderly ladies of the blue
stocking persuasion, but, unfortunately,
this interesting class goes through life
utterly oblivious to any such thing as
the appropriateness of harmonizing

the ribbon does not become twisted.
Ribbon embroidery has been received
with much favor, and those who supply
