small crowd quickly gathered on the

his plight became known, received
many offers of marriage. Sir Will

by deputy and the deputy herself final

lodgings which had been taken at a.
large boarding house facing Durham
Downs, but when they separated a few
hours later, the lady declared her in
tention Of not entering into the en-
gagement. However, Sir William Cor
don MacGregor's expenses were guar
anteed for a fortnight, in order that he
might rest before returning to his
former environment. There for a few
days the matter rested until the lady
who had acted as deputy renewed the
acquaintance and agreed to marry

health for some time and decided to
make a stay in Zurich, Switzerland,
for rest and to recuperate. She re-
turned to Paris last Tuesday consid-
erably improved, though retaining
lingering symptoms of the prevailing
endemic of grip, but the doctors did
not consider her condition serious She
seemed better this morning and the
apparent improvement continued dur
ing the middle of the day and even
up to o'clock this afternoon. A
sudden change for the worse was then
observed and it became manifest that
the congestion had attacked her lungs

Thurber's Presbyterian church in the
Rue de Berri, which is known as the

news of Mrs. POrter's death spread
rapidly through the American colony
and came as a complete surprise. Few
knew that she was Ill and the an
nouncement caused a universal shock
and deep feeling of regret, and many
expressions of esteem were forthcom-
ing. At the public receptions of the
embassy she had taken a personal in
terest in entertaining the throngs of
American visitors, thus endearing her

that highest top note? The question
which only time can answer is
franght with more or less anxiety. But
though one may fear for the future of
that high top note, he can feel only
admiration for Miss Yaw. Her debut
next Saturday evening will serve to il
lustrate what determination may
achieve.
For years Miss Yaw has been con-
tent to rest on the sublime pinnacle
of her A above high c. From it's dizzy
height she has looked down with su-
perb scorn on other prima donnas who
might warble more sweetly but who
could not soar SO high. But pinnacles
while inspiring, are both chilly and in
secure. And after awhile, too, they
pail. Miss YaW soon began to ponder
whether it would not be better to ne
glect a little that highest top note and
think seriously of range. From her
vocal alpine peak she looked down
longingly on Italian grand opera. Then
for time she forgot her A above high
Q and considered seriously in stead
her middle register. For awhile grand
opera does not sneeZe at a high top
note, 1t demands above all things a
middle register.

Of Marchesi, Miss Yaw has evolved
this middle register. But whether, in
the broadening process, the singer has
been forced to decapitate that A above
high G the dispatch does not state.

Italians will know.

club women-we spread ourselves too
thin"
The subject of the session was "The
Encouragement of Serious Reading"
Mrs. Thurlow, who. by the way, is
subchafrman of the Pennsylvania
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
undertook to tell what the clubs have
done for the cause Of serious reading,
and, incidentally, why clubWomen are
themselves not more serious readers.
For one thing" she said "of late the
trend of women's clubs has been to-
ward civic work. Far be it from me to
decry this tendency, including as 1t
does the excellent work done through
the travelling libraries. One club 1
know of sent out ten travelling libraries
last year to bring mental help and sane
recreation to many. In another club
the members take turns acting as Ii
brarian for q small collection of books.
Then, life is so complex for the
modern woman. She takes courses in
hygienic cooking and sanitary house
keeping, and, of course, she tries to put
what she learns into practice. She be-
longs to a mothers club and child
study circle, and does her best to bring
up her children accordingly. Then
there is the rapidly extending work of
the institutional church, and one can
not entirely drop ones friends and So
SISty, dlu-IldNeH we your sympathy u!
"One reason who we aren't all Sc
rious readers is that we attempt too
much. l remember being at a club
meeting when a chairman reported that
her class had finished German history
in one month. She said it without a
blush. The superficiality of women's
clubs Is a subject of jest in the comic
papers, and 1 admit that they often
are superficial, but 1 sometimes think
they are more thorough than they are
given credit for being. The subject Of
conversation at club teas is said to be
first Shelley, then Charlie, then Mary
Ann.
But, the fact is, the women are very
few who would sit down to q course Of
history on art without some external
stimulus. This stimulus they get
through their club The clubWoman
who says she has no time to read is a
back number. The earnest cIubwoman
realizes that she does not live in her
brass bedsteads and Chippendale
chairs. but in her soul.
The trouble is to know where to
draw the line when we do read. We
pick up a periodical and pass from an
article on the Standard Oil company to
the memoirs of French ambassadress,
and from that to an essay on psychic
experiments. And so 1t goes

however, until the end came. Gen.
Porter, Mrs. Porters brother, Gen.
Winslow> and the attending physicians
were at the bedside.
The ambassador is completely pros
trated.
Mrs. Porter died at the United States
embassy, in the life Of which she had
always taken leading part. Her death
caused great surprise and sorrow
throughout the American colony. The
officials Of the embassy are doing
everything possible under the circum-
stances to be of service to the ambas-
sador. Secretary Vignaud has taken
active charge of the funeral arrange
ments, but no definite plans have yet
been made. The ambassador had just
recovered from a severe attack of the
grip, which leads to some solicitude
concerning the effect the blow may
have upon him. The illness kept him
confined to the house for a month and
compelled him to give up his projected
trip to Greece.

MRS. VANDERBILT IN TRADE.

Wayfarers on Fifth avenue last Fri
day were surprised to see the name Of
Vanderbilt conspicuously displayed
upon sign advertising a fashionable
rug emporium at 430 Fifth avenue. The
members of the firm are Mrs. Jacob H,
Vanderbilt and Mile. De Monnier.
Jacob H. Vanderbilt, whose wife is
the joint proprietress in this new COM
mercial venture, is a first cousin of
William K. Vanderbilt, and is himself
rated as one of the wealthy men of
New York. He is said to be in Europe
at present
Mrs. Vanderbilt. who lives at East
Thrty-seventh street, declines to dis
cuss her business venture.
Her partner, Mile. De Monnier,
also declines to discuss the mat
ter further than to say that she and
Mrs. Vanderbilt intend to conduct a.
fashionable tea room in connection
with their rug business, and that they
had invested several thousand dollars
in the venture.
While the store is not yet open for
business, and will not be for a few
days, the handsome show windows
are filled with costly tapestries and
rare Persian rugs, which are worth a
comfortable fortune In themselves.
Members of the Vanderbilt family
professed ignorance last night as to

Nothing that has occurred in the
smart set this season has created so
much comment as the appearance of
the vanderbilt name over the door of
Fifth avenue retail establishment
All during the afternoon Yesterday
there was perceptible raising of
eyebrows as the sign In large black
letters was noted. A dozen fashion
able equipages stopped in front of the
place while inquiries were made Of
the workmen engaged in decorating
the interior as to the meaning of the
sign.
The store is located near THIRTY
eighth street and in the most fashion
able part of the avenue The rental
OF storerooms in the immediate vicinity
is enormous, and from the statement
made last night by Mile. De
Monnier, the concern in which she is a.
partner will not be q mere pIaything
but will be run on strictly business
principles-and will be run to make
money.
1t is understood that Mile. De
Monnier will be the active partner.
de Monnier will be the active partner
with Mrs. Vanderbilt as the financial
head of the firm. So far as can he
learned, the latter will remain strictly
in the background.
A large force Of clerks will be re
quired to assist In conducting the busi,
ness, and an extensive correspondence
has been opened with several of the
largest and most important rug dealers
