FORTUNE AND SORROW IN A DAY.
A Bellevue Hospital Clerks Singular
Story Revealed by Patients
Death.

Death.
From the New York World.
To find his brother, who had been
seeking him, dead In the city morgue,
to find himself the heir to q fortune
of $500, 900, and to be revealed to
his friends as a well-practiced physi-
clan instead OF an ordinary office
clerk, have all come to George W.
Glenck, the reception room clerk OF
Bellevue hospital, within the last
three days.
Glenck has been at the hospital
eight months, an ordinary clerk at a
salary OF $40 a month, yet with such
afund of technical information about
medicine and surgery that the young
doctors bowed to him and called him
Doc" For eight months he hasex
amined the patients who entered and
consigned them to the surgical or
medical division, according to his
Judgment OF their ailments, with such
skill that the professional men have
wondered where he got all his infor.
nation, and often questioned him as
to his past life. He never told any
thing, except to drop remark here
and there, that he was interested in
medicine and wanted to work in a
hospital to study diseases.
January 26 a young German, Kurt
Glenck, was admitted to the hospital
suffering from nervous disorder. The
entry was made by Miss Glennop, in
charge Of the reception room, and the
clerk did not see it nor did he know a
man OF his name was patient not a
hundred feet away from his office un-
til Deputy Superintendent Richard
called his attention February Lotto

His parents in Germany were ca

father had died from the shock OF the
news OF the death OF his son, who had
gone out to find his missing boy and
bring him home. Word came also
that an estate OF $500, 900 awaited
the missing son.
George had the body OF his brother
cremated yesterday and will take the
remains to his home in Germany.

The number of prominent southern girls who every year make the Sempe school in New York, the very centre of social interest are attending many smart events. Miss Lestra Kinney of Birmingham, is there and chaperoned by Mrs. Darlington Semple, attended the Hundredth Night Hop at West Point.
 Recently the young women attended a private dance given by the southern branch of the Kappa Alpha fraternity at Delmonico's. The dance was held in the red ballroom, while supper was served in the green room The occasion was very select and exclusive, and the young ladies of the Semple school were the observed of all observers.
 Miss Kinney wore gown made for the occasion. It was pale yellow crepe de chine, trimmed in hand embroidered pansy applique. She carried violets.
 Miss Fillmore of Montgomery, was in a hand embroidered gown of white null. Miss Frances Newman, daughter of Judge Newman of Atlanta, wore yellow crepe; Miss Bailey of Memphis, a pale green zibbeline, and Miss Harvey. a white chif- fon
 Miss Kinney is considered the most beautiful girl in the southern society this winter. She is receiving a great deal of attention. On Saturday she attended a small hop at West Point as a special guest, and Is the only girl from the school so honored.
 On Monday a tea was given to the young ladies at one of New York's best known studios The affair was very unique and the girls more charming than ever against the artistic back ground.

Edna Smith and
 Her Artistic Success.

Of the art coterie, there is no one work ing with greater success than Miss Edna Smith, the young portrait painter who red-paneled studio in the Watts building. She is one of the busiest artists in Bir- mingham, and has her classes which are constantly increasing in numbers.
 In her studio, Miss Smith is surrounded by many souvenirs of her life in Paris, suggest to her busy day in the Latin quarter, where she studied for several years.
 Miss Smiths portrait of her mother. which was a salon picture. now hangs in her private library, but she has sew eral fine canvasses ir her studio.
 Miss Smith Is collector of pottery snd bas reliefs, and her studio is one of the most artistic and interesting in the city.
 Notwithstanding that her time is very much tafen up with growing classes, Miss Smith finds time to go on with her Toitrait work, disproving the idea that a painter has no time for teaching. On the contra ry. any enc who is at all ac- quaint ed with the subject must know that the greatest masters of the day, in any of the art centers of the world-Paris, New York, London or Germany, take the keenest interest in teaching, And when the merits of a portrait or subject in sculpture of some young artist are seen at the scion, and art exhibitions. and talked of, these masters speak with pride of their pupils.

 Mrs. Raulston dwelt upon the growing appreciation of the women of this country for the best examples of keramic art, and the fact that many women were studying china decoration not with an eye of making it profession, but because of their artistic preference, thus bringing about radical change in the interior dec- oration of their homes
 They are learning a rare appreeiat tion of colorings and effective blendings and are more able to select their freizes and dados and hangings, as china painting teaches them the value of artistic back grounds and reveals ncongruties.
 The woman who understands any, thing about china decoration discovers rvery quickly any glaring defects that would pass unnoticed to the less critical eye"
 In recent talk to one of her classes, Mrs. Raulston also pointed out the in- creasing value of decorated china.
 'The oluer the china the more valua- ble," she said, should it be in the eyes of the owner until it becomes almost priceless as her family Silver and jewels ["

design in various parts of the country were due to Mr Lycettes efforts.
 He presented short time ago a very valuable collection to the Smithsonian in- stitute, and the last time I was in Atlanta l saw letter of acknowledgment from the authorities, stating that a special case had been proWued for the exhibit.
 "l think he is wonderful painter and that he has always seen the vast possibil- ities for keramic work"
 MT. Lycette was certainly not mistaken in his estimate of Mrs. Morgans possibil- ities
 With the exception, probably, of some of the leaders of the keramie world and a few connoisseurs,- the recent announce ment that Mrs Roosevelt had ordered q porcelain service at a cost of S}0 000 has been forgotten, and yet when the Roose- welt administration becomes history, it's most important souvenir will be the in- terior decoration of the White House and the superb set of porcelain upon which is enambled the great seal of the United States
 In speaking recently of this porcelain service and of other art matters, Mrs. Raulston said;
 Mrs Roosevelt commissioned Mr. Charles M. Van Heusen to visit the noted factories in order that a collection of exclusive designs might be submitted and out of seventy-eight designs representing the work of noted china decorators, Mrs. Roosevelt selected for the White House service a simple colonial pattern in gold. It was made by Wedgwood ,nd the design has been copyrighted and will be used exclusively for the White House.
 ''The service consist of fifteen dozen din- ner plates, ten dozen breakfast plates ten dozen tea plates. five dozen bread and but ter plates eight dozen after dinner coffee cups and caucers, ten dozen tea cups and saucers, ten dozen oyster plates, ten dozen fish plates and twenty-four platters.
 At the time that Mrs. Roosevelt gave the order" continued Mrs Raulsston, "the Keramic Studio took the position that through evident indifference on the part of china decorators, the order had been given into commercial hands. The point was, well taken for with the number of well known decorators in this country, there Is every reason to believe that if some of them had submitted designs, Mrs. Roosevelt would not have thought it nec- essary to employ foreign designer.
 ''The Keromic Studio" continued Mrs. Ranston, further emphasized its posi- ton by urging upon decorators the im- portance of being able to fill large orders, and not to be content with orders for pin trays and while not advocating Factory like, work, a strong desire was expressed to see more work from American decora- tors adorning the tables of those who con- stantly entertain, and who are able and quite willing to pay for beautiful table porcelain, if they knew of its existence eselwhere than In factories.
 "The keramic world, however. Is re- cognizing the tendency on the part of American women to fill their cabinets with decorated porcelains that prove. in both design and finish that the statement in our leading art journal was not an ex-
