PORTRAIT SHOW OF
AMERICAN WOMEN
Smart New York Women Are Posing for
the ST. Louis Exposition Exhibition,
and Later the Photographs VIII BE
Sent to Europe-Mrs. Samuel Sloan
Represents a French Artists Ideal.

An interesting feature at the st.
Louis exposition will be the collection
Of photographs of typical American
women of beauty and social position,
which will be arranged under the head of
American Woman Display" The New
York women have set the seal of their
favor on the project, and even Mrs. Aston
has consented to take the initiative. The
photographs will be unifosm in size and
style, and will be taken by artists in their
work. The New York women are already
posing. and in many, instances. twelve,
fifteen and even eighteen negatives have
been made before either the artist or
the subject was satisfied. ....-
Other cities will be asked to send pic
lures of representative women and at the
close of the fair the collection will be
taken to London, Paris, Berlin and Wen
ma, that Europe may form new opinion
of the grace and beauty of American
women.
Few women can resist an invitation to
have their pictures taken or portraits
painted. and an exhibition is always easy
to arrange for.
The duchess of Marlborough and the
Dowager Duchess Of Manchester have re-

OF Mrs. Samuel Sloan, the popular Amer
lean widow are jubilant at request from
Blsset for permission to paint her por-
trait Until now Bisset, from mere ca
price, has refused the most tempting Of
fers to paint American women. Some
time ago he painted portrait of Lady
Bagot, an American by birth, and the
result was so charming that the artist
was overwhelmed with requests for sit
tings. AS he could not begin to accent
/ them all, he refused Them and turned a
dear ear to all petitions until he met
Mrs Sloan, when he in turn became Pc
titioner.

Nine. Strauss Dress Performer,

Nine. Pauline Strauss is one of the
leading opponents of the dress reform
movement in Germany. The gown she
wore at the concert Monday evening was
model of grace and effective coloring. 1t
was a soft, lovely shade of pink chiffon.
The very short empire bodice was en-
crusted with jeweled trimming that also
formed the tops of the sleeves. From the
high waist line the gown hung in simple
full clinging folds, wholly without orna :
ment. The short sleeve was finished by a
deep full pleating of the chiffon. The de-
colletage was cut in graceful. mod
erately low line and the train was OF
moderate length. The simplicity height
ened the fire effect of the lines, color and
soft texture.

Button molds are covered with velvet
and these are set in the center of lace
knots with lace tabs hanging from the
lace knot. And there are molds that are
covered with bright silk, with lace sewed
over the silk. These all lace buttons are
really very dressy and can be worn upon
the incest silk. or over lawn, the but
tons can be used upon washable lawn

Still another fancy is a metal button,

She was dear little girl, and had

fore. that her knowledge OF things
maritime and warlike was not ex-
tensive.
The young gunnery officer of H. NJ.

warship Of any kind she had ever
visited, and her mind was full of the
wonderful sights presented.
Being an Industrious and thor

tenant had explained very fully the
mechanism and the use of the tor
pedo in warfare.
She examined the long. deadly. ci-

and fearfully.

paid out Of the insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
