A New York woman, who had returned
from a visit to some friends in the West.
was telling some funny experiences the
other day.
II spent some months in q Western
city, said she. Il won't tell where,
some day. 1 had never been a club
woman in New York. Clubs are rather
submerged here. you know. But there
l found that the club life of the women
was one of the salient and important
features of the city. My friend lived
In a whirl Of club life. and l was drawn
in. So. when the convention of the
State Federation of Women's clubs was
appointed in a certain mining town. I
readily agreed to accompany my friend.
who was delegate. The social life
of the city where l had been visiting
was as conventional as that Of any East
ern city. l had seen nothing of mining
to do SO.
THE West Is land OF magnificent
distances. We travelled all night and all
day to reach the convention city. arriv-
ing in the evening tired. hungry, and
worn out. There was. apparently. no
one to meet MS. and We started to walk
up the street. carrying our wraps and
valises- The street was brilliantly H.
Illuminated with electric lights-W estern
towns revel in electricity and modern
improvements. All along the sides were
wooden buildings with "store fronts"
bright lighted. and thronged with men.
Most of them We're saloons.
Just as we came abreast Of one of
them an explosion rent the air. The
building tOppled over like house Of
cards. Fortunately. none of us was hit.
but my friend and two or three other
ladies in the party fell to the sidewalk.
stunned into Inconsistencies by the
shock. A crowd collected, and a scene
Of indescribable confusion prevailed. I
shall never be able to tell how I. a
stranger in the city. ignorant of the
name of any hotel. was finally able to
extract my friend from the crowd and
get her to a hotel. 1t TRANSFERRED. upon
inquiry. that the, BARRIERS Union had
blown up the building. The town was
stronghold OF trades unionism. This
barber had refused to join the BARRIERS
Union. and the union had calmly blown
up his shop, hoping to blow him up with
it. He happened to be away, which was
all that saved him.
This was my Introduction to the con-
vention. My friend was so nervous and
done up by the shock. that she remained
in bed the first two days of the conven-
ton and l staid with her. The third
day was to close with a swell toast
luncheon given by the hostess to the
visiting ladies at the principal hotel of
the place. We decided to attend that.
The proprietor had stipulated that the
luncheon hour be o'clock as he could
not serve the ladies until the regular
noon meal was out of the way.
'At the appointed hour we appeared
in the hotel lobby. where We found per-
feet jam of excited women. They had

VANDERBILT BABY's THINGS.
Solid Silver Weighing Machine, and
DEMONSTRATED Gold Rattle. ~


Just to be Vanderbilt baby born with
golden spoon in his mouth, would seem
enough luck for the luckiest American
boy. But to be a Vanderbilt baby ana
the special favorte of a grandmother
who is one of the richest and most DOW,
erful women in American society, is the
remarkable good fortune to which the
newest heir to the Vanderbilt millions
has been born.
This new Vanderbilt baby is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.
He was ushered into the world last
Sunday evening at 10 o'clock, and since
then he has been utterly oblivious to the
good fortune that awaits him.
He doesn't know that he is the richest
baby in the world. =
lie doesn't know that, in all probable
lty, he will some day be at the head of
the great Vanderbilt family.
He doesn't appreciate at all what It
means to be the favorite grandchild of
such grandmother as Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt.
And If appearances count for anything
ne doesn't care one whit about it.
For this new Vanderbilt baby. who
hasn't even a name of his own as yet, is
occupying his time in just the same way
that healthy, good-natured East Side
baby would. -
He simply sleeps-waking up for just
long enough to have his dinner, which he
takes often and with genuine pleasure. :
But if the Vanderbilt baby doesn't care
because he is a Vanderbilt baby, all hia
millionaire relatives do care, and he IL
receiving the homage due him.
Listen to his gifts, which are coming
thick and fast to the Fifth avenue home
of the Vanderbilts to be added to the
collections which We're awaiting his COM
ing: :
A solid silver weighing machine.
Two magnificent gold mugs, one shaped
like a loving cup. i.
A gold rattle, almost covered with dia-
monds.
A magnificent silver wash basin.
A chain of pearls with a pearl studded
locket.
A set of six pins made of white enamel.
mounted with gold and set with pearls.
These last were sent to the baby by his
fathers favorite cousin, Mrs. John Ham
mond, who was Emily Vanderbilt Sloane
before her marriage. and are used for
shoulder pins and to fasten the baby's

dress at the front Of the yoke and at the
back.
Twelve other sets Of baby pins have
also been received. the majority level
studded.
A set Of exquisite ruby studs have been
given to the baby by Mrs. William ID.
sloane. Inc studs are small and are
connected with chains and are used in
place OF buttons and buttonholes to fas-
ten the little gowns at the back. Though
the rubies are small they are gems OF
the first water.
Fourteen little dressing sacQues are
also among the recent gifts.
And there Is a magnificent spread for
the baby's cradle. sent by Mrs. George
vanderbilt. This spread Is made of the
richest white brocaded satin. with the
design of the satin exquisitely embroid-
cred In white silk threads. The effect Is
new and very rich. The spread Is lined
with pink satin to blend with the baby's
cradle.
The cradle is a dainty mass of real
lace ruffles. Its founda ton is Just ordi-
nary wicker, but to see it one would
never know whether it were wicker or
solid gold. The cradle is covered inside
and out with wee ruffles of real Valen-
ciennes lace. which show just faint
touch Of pink beneath. for the curtains
and the crib part itself are lined with
pink silk. 1t Is new idea to have the
inside Of the cradle as we'll as the out
side lace trimmed, and the lace ruffled
lined cradle makes soft nest for the
Vanderbilt baby when he is off in happy
dreamland.-New York Journal.

FROM RECENT CENsusEs.
Facts About Density Of Population in
Various Countries.

various countries.
Henry Gannett, in the American Geo.
graphical society's bulletin, discusses re-
cent censuses of population. The United
States has 26 Inhabitants to the square
mile. while France has 1S9. Germany 269,
England and Wales 557 and Belgium $685.
There is little relation between the
density of population and the rate of in
crease.
1.-THE rate of increase in the United
States" remarks Mr.. Gannett, although
rapidly diminishing, Is still so per cent
greater than that of any other nation
here represented. OF the European ma
lions, Germany shows the most rapid
rate OF increase in spite of the large emil
grafton. Spain has practically come to a
standstill its recent census. taken in
1900, showing few thousand less inhabi-
tants than that taken three years ear
lier. The recent famines in India are
doubtless responsible for the small in
crease in that country.
Proportion of urban population differs
widely in different countries. Measur-
ing it by the population included in cities
OF 100000 or more Inhabitants it is seen
that this element, which in the United
States comprises 10 per cent of the total
population, includes in England and
Wales not less than "a per cent: while
in Belgium it is 10 per cent; in Germany,
16: in France, 10; in Spain, and in
Japan, per cent.
IF, on the other hand, all bodies OF
urban population he included, which is a
much better test to apply, the situation
is different. Measured in this way the
urban population of the United States
forms 40 per cent OF the total number or
innauitants; while that of England and
Wales forms not less than ~ per cent.
In Germany and the Netherlands just
one-half of the population is included In
such urban bodies; in France. Switser-
land and Belgium, twO-fifths; in Dem
mark. 30 FER cent: in Norway, % per
cent; in Sweden. u per cent. and In RUS
STA II per cent"

Miss Edna CObban gave some very in
teresting facts to the Art club. regarding
the manner in which Christian art has
pictured the three persons Of the Holy
Trinity, the Virgin Mary, the apostles,
saints and martyrs, knowledge of
which is necessary to the student OF
historical painting in order that he may
understand the thought of the artist
who has painted any devotional pic
ture. Some Of the most important emf
blems discussed and which enable one
to know the character denoted in paint
ings, were the Nimbus V. Aureole, the
Lamb. the Lion. the Peacock. Arrows.
the Wheel or Wheels. the Palm. the

perity of this period, sometimes called
Italy's Golden Age" and we must re-
member that Italy's condition in regard
to material things was far superior to
that of the other countries of Western
Europe. The night Of the dark ages was
shorter in Italy than elsewhere, for she
always retained something of the
ancient civilization of Rome. The cru
sades brought to Italy large increase of
wealth, dominion and knowledge and
Macaulay said in 1925: We doubt
whether any country of Europe, our
own excepted, has at the present time
reached so high point of wealth and
civilization as some parts of Italy had
attained four hundred years ago."
All authorities speak with great en-
phasis of the spirit of democracy and the
love of liberty in Italy in these days.
But all this was soon changed; instead
of peace and plenty. freedom. indie
pendence and happiness. there was war
and famine, slavery, beggary and de-
spairing minds and hearts all over this
beautiful land.
The explanation of this early decline
lies first, in the moral complexion of
the time which brought about intellect
ual degeneracy;" second, the rule of the
tyrants,'' and third, the French and
Spanish INVASION
In this paper Mrs. McCrackin gave, as
it were, a review Of what had gone be-
fore and forecast of what is to follow.
Mrs. Hammond followed with an inter-
esting account of the Iforga family of
this period.
Mrs. Drennen gave the second paper,
Raphael" tracing his work through the
three different periods which marked his
career. namely, the Pernginesque, the
Florentine and the Roman.
Mrs. Speer spoke entertainingly of
Raphaers Madonna" giving briefly the
history of number of the most noted
ones, among them. 1.-The Sistne Ma
DONNA the Madonna Del Granduca,"
and 1.-The Madonna of the Mea iow," il
Illustrating her talk with prints of a
number of subjects.
Mrs. Greneveld gave most interest
ing account of the tapestries designed
by Raphael and their history, and also
spoke of the paintings in the Loggie of
the Vatican, mentioning especially the
"GrotesqueS."
Mrs. Lauzier presented the five min
ute sketch of "Galileo'' in most able
manner.
At the close of the program tea was
served and a social time enjoyed.
TIL club will meet with Mrs. c. w.
Clark on next Monday.
