Inc New YORK papers are having d
sensational time of the gentler sort
over the resolution of the girl art stu
dents to fOreswear matrimony for a
period, in order to devote themselves
TO real art Miss Elizabeth Curtis,
whose friends here have predicted
wonders for her in the way of success.
is the head of this unique colony, and
she has given out the idea in a clever
little interview published in the New
York World:
We are not going to try to live
without men because we do not like
men. The girls interested in the project
are all sincere in their love for art. and
we have found that it is just impossi-
BILE to mix earnest study with young
men. so for a while we are going TO
bar the men.
$50 many of the girls who take UP
the study of art do it simply as a side
issue. They have no thought of ever
earning their living by their brush, but
simply wish to be able to say that they
have some accomplishment. They
think art is fashionable. Their exam
pie is a drawback to real students.
ITO advance in our profession it is
necessary TO devote oneself wholly to
it. l know We all enjoy the society of
the other sex, but we are going into
our new plan with our eyes Open"
The plan is not, of course, a new
one, for il follows the same lines
adopted by the Princess Ida in Tenny-
sons work, with the medieval differ
ence that the princess furnished her
own funds. whereas the girls interest
cd are TO be backed up by some of the
Weather women interested in their
growth. Miss Curtis is certainly the
girl to be at the head of such a colony.

The Country club presented its old
time appearance yesterday afternoon.
when the mixed doubles at tennis drew
q large number of spectators. The
game began a I o'clock, and was open

liam p. Kiser, assisted by some of the
younger girls, served tea on the YER
anda, where cosy corners invited the
thirsty throng. Later numerous small
parties enjoyed the dinner and the
dance in the evening
After all, the people who get real
enjoyment out of their motor cars are
those who give pleasure 70 others with
them. There is one big car which has
never yet made trip for pleasure
without having within it some friends
TO whom motoring is a treat And the
owners have more real pleasure in
this privilege of extending these cour-

years of self-centered thOughtIessness.

And. speaking of motor things. is
there such a thing as motor courtesy?
Some time ago a party met with the
usual accident, and found it necessary
TO replace a tire. A passing touring
car slowed up and the chauffeur asked
if he might be of any service to the
stranded people. The driver of the
less fortunate car, a workman, replied
that he could manage very well, and
extended thanks. Later in the same
day the second party had a like mis-
fortune, and as the newly-tired ma
chine sped by the party arose in their
seats and jeered.
This story may have been related
before, but if il has it only goes to
prove that history repeats itself. She

Despite the fact that the regulation
summer flowers were used for deco
rations, there were half a dozen Amer
lean beauties at a small function of the
week given at the Country club. And
