tall and handsome blonde with rarely

can epigram with every drink" is a
luxury New Workers enjoy without extra
charge. A German who runs raths-
keller in Broadway has modernized the
familiar notices, such as 'In vino veri-
tas,'' to bring them within reach of the
| uncultured understanding. When you
tilt stein to the proper angle your eye
may rest on any one OF these bits OF
wisdom:
While beer brings gladness, don't forget
that water only makes you wet.
He who drinks and runs away
Will live to drink another day.
Contentment may be better than money
but most men are willing to take chances
with the money.
Be merry while you can today;
There may be no tomorrow.
No man Is SO bad that he cannot find In
beer a balm for sorrow.
Drink beer and forget your sorrow;
AS the thoughts come back
Drink more tomorrow.

That money is always at hand to con-
tribute to the luxury of New York clubs
is known, but the experience Of one Or
ganization shows how much easier it is
| to raise large sums than one might sup
pose.
In one of the handsomest as we'll as
newest Of New York club houses the
ceiling in one room has never been dec
grated. When the club house was
opened two Or three years ago it was
decided to allow this detail of the deco
of the architects.
It was finally decided to copy for this
room the ceiling of a famous apartment
in Rome. 1t was estimated that the ex-
pense Of the work would be about $685.
600, as it will be necessary to send to
Rome an artist who will do the work
| there.
The sum was large in view Of the
great amount already spent to decorate
scriptions was made on the club at large
a few members were asked if they would
not like to help the committee to make a
good showing before the call was posted
in the club.
These men responded so literally that
when the time came to call on the mem.
bers at large only $4,000 more was need,
ed. The few men who had been ap,
pealed to first happened to be so prosper
GUS that the expense Of the new ceiling
was almost met by their contributions
alone.
The troubles of the business man with
a pretty stenographer and a suspicious
wife are as nothing compared with those
of the married artist who paints from
living models. In some of the studio
buildings here it is the regular thing
for wives to sit around the studios doing
fancy work while the husband transfers
to the canvas the sinuous curves of q
shapely model. Others assist in posing
the subject, arranging the draperies and
making themselves otherwise usefully in
convenient. Some of the bachelor art
lists, on the other hand, employ chaper
ones, not for tho model, but for them
selves. A large part of the artists pat
ronage is made up Of women who sit fol
bust portraits in evening dress. Proba
