covered gold mining camp. Theatrical
and musical people are adventurous.
Both men and women among them
went with the first great rush to the
KlondilIe and to Nome They somehow
got means to take them there. They
reasoned that if gold was to be picked
up they stood a good chance for their
share; if not, they had their talent to
fall back on, and that would always
earn them enough to bring them home.
The Misses Steiner and Holly found
plenty of professional talent to enable
them to give in handsome style the
whole opera of 1.-The Little Hussar."
They produced it in the Nome dance
house, which was the only structure
large enough. The proprietor CALAMITY
closed his bar and stopped his dance
house show for the occasion, and all
the first society of Nome f1ocked thith-
err Miss Steiner says that Nome has
very refined and delightful social circle
of ladies and gentlemen. The Little
Hussar" performance was a distin-
guished success and was repeated half
a dozen times. Then Miss Steiner, am.
ply provided with means, prosecuted
her search for gold and for honest men
who would mine on the grub stake sys-
tenn. She learned the methods of pros
pecting. sluicing and hand rocking.
She learned enough of the situation to
form her plans for the next season.
Then she and Miss Holly came home.
With renewed hope and courage, with
the sure knowledge of what they want
ed to do. the ladies returned at the
breaking up of the ice in the early sum-
mer of 1900. At Nome are both winter

The Medallion Applique.

Maisie mentioned the medallion ap-
plique. AS it will figure largely on the
winter and spring dresses, l want to
speak of it. 1t is just a series of oval
applications in each of which the cen
ter is left out. This is replaced by sec
tons of velvet, Persian or of a con-
trasting shade from the gown itself.
Velvet disks will also be seen on all the
dainty pale colOred and lace gowns.
The edict has gone forth in the we'll
dressed world that the stiff shirt waist
is to die next spring. 1t will be re-
placed by soft blouses of wash silk
pongee and dainty chambrays and ba-
tistes. These blouses will be made with
soft stocks and tiny unstiffened wrist
bands ornamented with little turnover
cuffs of insertion or of lace. The Rus
sian blouses will prevail until summer,
and even then they will appear in silk
or all over heavy lace. By the way,
all over lace for outer garments is
steadily increasing in popularity. 1t is
made up over two Innings, one of chif-

She and Miss Holly have ninety of their
own and have control besides of about
thirty-five more. Every one of these
has been prospected. The usual plan is
to grub stake miners while they dig
gold on shares for half the product.
One day Miss Steiner's miners were
digging for gold near the old river bed
when they struck a vein of coal. 1t is
a very thick, heavy vein and has al
ready been tested for domestic fuel. If
it should also be available for steaming
purposes, it will prove for it's owners
better than gold, for in the latter part
of winter coal reaches at Nome the
price of 1925 ton.
Last summer again the two brave Ia
dies gave the opera The Little Hussar"
to pay their expenses, and, as before, 1t
was a brilliant success. In the late au-
tumn they returned to New York, with
the feeling that their laborS were be-
ginning to be crowned with success and
that their future was assured Next
summer they will go back to Nome to
superintend the cleanup. Miss Steiner
says that in prospecting for gold she
has learned that about the most forlorn
and rough looking spot on the face of
the landscape is the most promising
place into which to thrust pick. So the
prospect is that Cape Nome, on the face
of things the forlornest, most unrrom-
Using spot to which a lady of artistic
temperament, one unused to roughing
it in any way, could go to make her for

for her pluck, her enterprise and her
unremitting industry.

the ice broke next summer, it was said,
and the great trading companies pre-
pared to reap their harvest accordingly.
The rush occurred in the summer of
1899, and a settlement was made on the
beach at Cape Nome. News of the mar
velously rich diggings meantime trav-
eled to the Atlantic coast, and adven-
turous gold seekers there also prepared
to brave the unknown on the far shores
of Bering sea at Capt Nome, latitude "a

But Emma Steiner was Baltimore
girl, with the typical southern woman's
grit and power. She went among her
acuuaintances and proposed to them to
form a syndicate of which she should
be the representative to go to Cape
Nome and upon the ground investigate
the gold possibilities. They knew she
was shrewd, intelligent and plucky, and
they gave her power of attorney for

Her niece, Miss Florence Holly, the
opera singer, went with her. They sail

At Cape Nome Miss Steiner found it
would be necessary herself to go out
over the trails to the diggings. to inves-
tisate the truth of the stories told of
them, to make the acquaintance of the
miners and spectators and find out

miners work during the past season
was the securing and prospecting of
claims for her syndicate. By good luck
and shrewdness she had obtained for
her company the old bed of Nome river
for a distance of two and one-half
miles. 1t is rich in gold. One day some
miners near Nome were washing out
gold when they saw at the bottom of
the pan a black, shining something that
was not sand. They had it assayed,
and it proved to be tin, so scarce on
American soil as to be very valuable.

miners was a thing unheard of; that
TOO, although the California climate
was so mild that living in tent the
year round in many of the new dig
gings was a delight. Now, at the be-
ginning of the twentieth century, with
the gold diggings in a savage climate
beyond the arctic circle some of them,
we find highbred, delicately brought up
ladies on the ground in numbers, even
joining in the fifty mile ruSheS on the
stampedes when new and rich gold de-
posts are reported, and the propriety
of their doing so is not questioned.

about that extraordinary gold finds
were being made at Cape Nome, north
