VESS SEL WENT DOWN,
Pilot Boat Was Wrecked by a California
 Gray Whale.


 The wreck of the pilot boat Bonita, on tie night Of July 20, off San Fran cisco Ray, vas an incident, if not un- paraileled ii maritime annals suffici- ently rare to make it worthy of record. The Bonita was one of the finest of her class, and since 1892 has beer sta toned off the Golden Gate intercept ing vessels bound for that difficult and fog-infected harbor.
 On the night of the wreck the off, eers and crew with the exception of the man at the wheel, were just al supper. The fog was so dense that objects a cable length away were invisible. Suddenly a shock of sufficient violence to knock the men off their seats was 'elt throughout the ship. Supposing that collision had occurred, the crew rushed tu the deck, but no other yes sel was in sight Sounding the pumps it was discovered that the Bonita was sinking. and at the same time one Of those enormous gray whales loomed up on the side of the craft and disclos- '-d CtiV | NttNft>t OI ut tttIutIO. Ilt Bonita remained adoat long enough to allow the crew time to secure their effects and launch their boats. They were subsequently, picked up by in coming vessels. The wreck occurred about six miles southeast of the Far allones, and now lies in six fathoms depth Of water. She may be raised, though the operation will be difficult on account of the strong currents al this point. The California gray whale Is the largest of the species, and is seen on the California coast from No Xember until May. It's fayorite haunt seems to be at the entrance of San Francisco bay, where it is observed often ill large numbers. One caught tn this vicinity forty years ago meas ured ninety seven feet in length Their weight IS prodigious. Their scientific designation is Sibbaldius sulfureus. The Bonita was built in 1892 and was of seyenty-five tons register. Her di- mensions were eighty-eight feet over all, twenty-three feet breadth and 9.S depth, Her crew numbered five. Four pilots were aboard when the wreck oc- cured.

WANTS HER WOMEN
 QUAINT AND OLD-FASHIONED

"I want every woman,' said Miss Doug lass. ''to be quaint and old-fashioned. and yet to have the sang froid of the period. Above all I want them to retain that freshness that to me Is so charming. so wholesome. I clothe my women in soft airy materials that might have been worn by their grandmothers, but give them the modern pose, the little touch that prevents them from looking out of date. Then in my water color work I blend the India ink. This gives the French touch of black to their gowns. adore their picture hats and I love to cover them with roses"
 She picked up water color, showing the full length figure of a woman The gown was a quaintly lowered thing and the hat had tall crown, the wide brim ladened with delicate pink roses
 Another sketch was a woman clad in red that new red that the water colorist has recently discovered. The single rose in the woman's hand was the color of her dress.
 Miss Douglass is devoted to her work and she works necessarily. She intends going to New York next autumn and liv- ing there for year

CHARM OF FRESHNESS
 ABOUT DOUGLASS WOMEN.

The Douglass type, this fluffy creature, is standing where the brook and river meet She Is perfectly sure of herself, but she is absolutely innocent. There Is a charming freshness about her. She has not seen enough of life to grow weary of 1t. She believes in the sweet ness of life. She Is like a May morn- ing She is all warmth, love, tenderness. There is an absence of all conscious ness. She has been told that she was pretty, but she has forgotten It.
 It was last summer that the artists began talking of the possibilities of the Douglass type. They recognized that 1t was distinctive, and then people began asking about the artist. They wanted to know who 1t was who had painted a type of woman, at once so exquisite, a woman with the quaintness of her grandmother. with the delicacy of a miniature, and yet possessing the pose 9the air, the mannerisms of the latter day fbeauty. And the young artist who had been working for years upon her ideal who wanted her women to be deliciously fresh looking, a woman of chiffons and laces and picture hats, was surprised to hear that her work was being dis cussed that the Douglass type was taking it's place In the world of art.
 But one day a business-looking letter was received at 1901 North Fourteenth avenue It was addressed to Miss Lu- cile Douglass, and was an order from one of the largest wholesale art stores in the country for twelve hundred water colors of the Douglass women.

 AGAIN TO BELIEVE IT.

a Miss Douglass read the letter over sev- seral times. Twelve hundred water colors was an immense order. It meant thatshe must paint two hundred water colors ev- Aery month, but 1t also meant fame and fortune.
 Miss Douglass agreed to furnish this art firm with two hundred water colors ev- cry month. The Christmas order included several hundred Douglass women. They Were all exquisite, and dainty and were pronounced the most artistic water colors exhibited during the holidays.
 In the studio. the past week, Miss Doug lass. who Is as pretty and charming as she is clever, talked of her work. She Hives in an attractive house. over which a rose vine has climbed. The view of the hills Is fine and Miss Douglass has a Beautiful view of valley and the distant hills from her studio, which is large and sunny.
 She simply lives In her studio. There was a large table drawn near the open fire place and it was here, surrounded by her water colors, that she was painting those beautiful heads and figures of wo- men that the art critics declare are so distinctive.

Miss Douglass In Her Studio and Something of Her Work--Notes of the Social World
 for the Week.
BY ANNIE kENDRlck WALKER.

Do you know the Gibson girl, or how do you like the Wenzell typeg' Is making way for the How do you like Douglass women?"
 This later type Is a woman of frills, a fluffy creature, a woman of thousand airs and graces, a woman that some may call a coquette, because she is so dainty so adorable, so winsome.
 The Douglass women are chic They wear the smartest gowns and the dear est hats. They do not follow the style of any one period, but they insist on being old-fashioned and at the same time very ultra fashionable. They are de- cidedly quaint and decidedly come-il fait The Douglass woman Is like a bloused poppy, and yet she is as dainty as a blosoming rose and has it's fragrance. In her eyes there a sort of radiance, an innocence. In Gibson'st women 1t Is the eyes of a woman of the world that look at you It Is a woman, young in years, but surfeited with them. There are some women who are weary of life at twenty. there are others in love with it at fifty. The Gibson type Is perfect, but world weary One realizes that she Is fasci- hating, but that she is conscious of her charms She accepts whatever life brings as a matter of course. Life holds no surprises for her.

After pezusing an article in the New York Journal as to whether life was prac- tleally over at thirty-hve, l asked a prominent man of forty if he considered that woman of thirty-five had as well be dead as far as her years of usefulness were concerned.
 He evaded my question somewhat by asking if knew many women who would admit they were thirty-five, but finally he discussed from a mans point of view the following little paragraph clipped from the article In question. I believe it was Helen Bartlett Bridgeman who voiced these sentiments:
 "So 1t was a bad quarter of an hour for me until began to think that ex- istence for all of Us, except as we can do for others, is practically over by thirty-f1ve or forty, and that, save for the love of few one might as well go as stay. After thirty-f1ve your message is delivered. life begins to repeat itself, the anticipations are few, the disappointments are many. and 1t is not so hard to pass on."
 And the first to take issue with Mrs. Bridgeman, who Is the wife of Herbert Bridgeman, is Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who declares that Mrs Bridgeman could not have been In her normal state of mind when she gave sanction to such wholly fallacious theory. And my friend, he who owned up to being forty, poo-hood the Idea that life was over at thirt y-hve, or forty, or fifty. "I am just beginning to enjoy life" he said, with the enthu- siasm of a college boy, and I can truth fully say that life was never sweeter or the future brighter to me than it is now, and I am supposed to be a hopeless old bachelor"
 I never ventured to ask a woman. one too that knew life, if she believed in Mrs. Bridgemans theory. And she, too, replied that life up to thirty-fve or for ty was frequently a meaningless exist ence; that the years must come 4nd go before one coud realize the possibilities of life.
 T." she said. "am nearly forty, and I do not feel that my message has been given, or that life has begun to repeat itself"
 I asked both men and women, those who knew life, those whom we call men and women of the world: When life begins to repeat itself, is it practically overT' No one agreed to this theory, but to Ella Wheeler Wilcoxs refutation of 1t there was unanimous approval. And here are some of her wholesome ideas which were sanctioned:

IS LIFE OVER WHEN
 5 YEARS IS REACHEDf F

llvering only begins to grasp the mean ing of life at thirty-five. Until thirty. the active human mind in a well vitalized body Is merely a combination of urgent, unreasoning brain cells. contending one with another. Few of us know what we want, or why we want 1t. what we mean to do. or how we mean to do 1t, before thirty. We only know we are longing and striving and seeking.
 It is only the very crude, the wholly un- developed being, however. who rests un- der this delusion. The worth while man (or woman) soon awakens to the fact that he has merely left life's Kindergarten at thirty-and ia ready now to enter the graded school.
 He Is rid of some foolish notions, he has outgrown some toys. He Is ready for real study.
 By thirty-five he has just come to know how little he knows, and how much remains for his learning.
 His powers of enjoyment are keener. his ideals are higher, his strength is greater than ever before.
 He is almost ready to enter life's col- lege.
 At forty he is ready. He knows himself; he has developed his will power he has the hand of self-contro1 upon the reins of his passions and appetites he has made mistakes and been educated through them. and he knows what he can do and how he can do it.
 From forty to sixty he Is in the very prime of life. His best work should be done during these years, his greatest en- joyment of life found.
 It Is after forty, often after fifty, not before thirty-five, that his message is delivered"
 I am talking of the man worth while, not of the flop, the spendthrift and the sot, who has allowed the light within his soul to become extinct and at thirty five has exhausted all his powers of en- Joyment. I am talking of the grsat ma jority-of men and women--for that ma jority is not depraved or idiotic, but sane and temperate.
 In the civilized world today we find ten men who are hale and strong at fifty, we'll fitted for all lifes responsibilities, where we find one who feels that his day of usefulness lies behind him.
 And woman, too, has ceased to rele. gate herself into the ranks of "old folks at thirty-f1ve, and to confine her conver- sation to dates, disease and death.
 She has come into the realization that man, not God, made years
 No, no, fair Madam! do not send such discouraging and unfounded statements forth to take lodgment in human minds.
 Instead. say what is true in the face of living facts-that at thirty-five we only begin to grasp the infinite possibilities of life, and to understand the forces within our own beings; and that our best hap piness awaits us after that age, If we only realize and claim it
