The Three Arts Club, recently formed
among the girl students Of New York, has
taken possession Of q house on the corner
Of Sixty-second street and Lexington
avenue. For an infant organization--it ia
scarcely a year old-this club has had a
marvellous growth. To be householder
at it's tender age Ia q feat Of which, in the
opinion of all interested in its development,
it has every right to be proud. Hitherto
It has occupied fat at 1925 West Fifty-sixth
street.
The three arts from which the club de-
rives it's name are painting, music and the
drama Students in any Of these are
eligible TO membership. and its prime object
ia to provide all such with comfortable
homes, social life and congenial friends
while they are studying in this city.
Our new house provides living rooms
for fifteen Of our members, said Miss Hall,
a deaconess Of the Episcopal Church, and
founder OF the Three Arts Club. 1T is a
house wonderfully we'll adapted to our
needs. 1t is on the corner. with outlooks
to south, east and west. AL our rooms are
light, and 30 many Of them are small that
most Of the dodgers may have one each to

OF using the kitchen for two hours in the
morning and from IL to 2 in the after
noon, IN order to prepare their breakfasts
and luncheons, and the arrangement proved
so satisfactory, and was 30 much appre-
ciated by the girls that we will continue it

and we are the only two women's clubs
In the world which provide living rooms

-The Paris organization maintains a res
taurant, and the authorities seem to regret
having made the venture. They find that
the students grow tired Of patronistng
one restaurant all the time. and that the
profits derived from the cuisine are not
sufficient to reoompense them for the ad-
ditional trouble entaied and. the extra
servants required. ~

The Athletic Girl Whose Standard Was High,
..... and Her Unimportant Sister.

Genevieve Jones was a physical culture
girl. No one could deny that she was a
stunning example of the benefits Of properly
regulated exercise and rational living.
Her physique was Of the kind which Is
commonly denoninated by physical culture
experts as superb. Her face was a vision
Of beauty and superabundant health; her
strength as would have made Miss Diana,
who Il Is said once held records for that
sort OF thing, as green with envy as a per-
sinmon in June.
she moved along the street with such queenly
grace, perfect poise and correct carriage
as to attract great attention-in so much
that strained neoks became so common
among the male population Of her part OF
town that the druggist had to lay in an extra
stock Of lniments.
Her appearance on bicycle was the
sensation OF the boulevard. When she went
on the golf links there was not a caddie
on the grounds who could find lost ball
II Il were lying at his very feet, nor player
who could do anything but make foozle
at least every other shot.
AT the beach she was such an iridesoent
pebble as made the mermaids tear their
hair In dismay.. But when she went to the
gym. Why, she could chin herself on the
Horizontal bar twenty times in succession,
and play basketball In way that made
the privileged spectators g lsp with aston
ishment and caused her sister Mary to clasp
her unafhletic hands in holy horror.
Yes, Genevieve had sister, but she did
not count When people spoke OF the Jones
girl 1t was Genevieve they always meant.
II was true Mary could do little plain
sewing and could make q pie that could
be opened without Ratchet. as had been
necessary with the only one Genevieve
had ever attempted; she could play croquet
littla, but when 1t came to golf she didn't
know brassy from a putting green, and
to have talked to her OF the possibility OF
a lie being either good or bad would have
been to run the danger Of involving ones
self in a theological discussion.
She knew no more about basketball
than Kentucky mule knows about the
solar parallax, nor could she swim any more
than a life preserver with a United States
inspectors stamp on II. II she really
had any pretensons to even a passable
prettiness, they were so doubtful as to have
passed uEobserved beneath the lustrous
ehulgence Of her athletic sisters pulchri-
tude. ,- ,,..
Such being the circumstances Of the case,
Il was not TO be wondered at that Gene

dresser with loops and ends.
One very dainty fancy was to scent the
shells. They were emptied through the
large end and the interior nnsed out A
drop of altar of roses was then placed in
the shell. On top Of this the cream was
poured. The scent was remarkably sweet.
Seeming cold cream is not q difficult
task. Take your cold cream jar to the
druggist and let him drop one drop of
rose altar into 1t. The cold cream can
then be melted, stirred and allowed to
cool. If expense is consideration, one
can use oil OF geranium, lavender or berga-
mot. or any Of the cheaper oils instead OF
rose

SONG PICTURES CONE HIGH

1T requires patience and money to pro-
duce slides for popular songs nowadays,
said a music publisher, but stereopticons
and moving picture machines are etill the
best medium in booming songs. Almost
every theatre devoted to vaudeville has
one Of these machines as part OF its proper
ties. and with the aid Of a good singer and
a clever manipulation OF the machine fair
entertainment can be given at nominal
cost.
But the public now expects some artis-
tic merit In these Slides and will not accept
them unless they reproduce accurately
scenes which the theme Of the song de-
mands. Formerly such slides were faxed
without much trouble and at small cost
The public did not mind II the song hap
pened to be good. But now conditions are
reversed. The public seems to be more
exactng about the slides than the song.
Most OF these slides were made In this
city, no matter what locality or scenes the
lost their attraction. Then a publisher
revived interest in the entertainment by
making the slides accurate in detail and
locality. OF course, this meant spending
money, but the return paid handsomely
for the outlay. ~
Recently firm spent $500 IN pro-
duoing slides for one song. The scenes
were laid in the valley OF the Shenandoah.
To be as accurate as possible the pub
Usher had to send men to photograph q
number Of historic spots in that section.
Then he had to hire a regiment Of soldiers
to pose for the pictures. This meant sew
eral days work and when everything was
done and he was satisfied he found that his
expense bill was large one without the
cost OF manufacture.
'On another occasion this same pub
Usher paid to have a minister and his whole
congregation pose for him for song called
Just Behind the Times. which was popular

New York. Sept 24.-The girls OF Cur
tis high school, Staten Island. which Is
named after George William Curtis. are
shocked. When the school was recently
occupied and classes organized red was
chosen as the school color. Not sub
dued, non -committal red. but a bright
hue almost scarlet.
Now the order is that working cos
tunes In the gymnasium shall be red.
The boys think II fine, and the girls
wouldn't object to red waists and sweat
ers. but the idea OF using the school
color for divided skirts seems to them
a little too much.
The Specifications issued yesterday
raised a storm, and an indignation meet

they would quit the school and It's gym
