CRACK FEMININE WHIP.
Southern Belle to Drive Famous Steeds
at international Horse Show.

at international Horse Show.
One of the features of the great In
ternational horse show TO be held in
the London Olympia in June will he
the horsemanship of Miss Florence
Schenck, who is to drive the Wander
bilt horses, says the Chicago Record
Herald. She is>a southern girl, per-
feet blond, with blue eyes and yellow
hair She has the delightful manner
characteristic of the girl from Dixie.
Her features are regular, and when she
is in animated conversation her face Is
one that remains in the memory. She
has what photographers and artists
would call an excellent posing face.
MY home is in Norfolk, Va" she
said the other day. "My father was
the late DR.. Powhatan Schenck. |
learned to ride and drive when | was
a little bit Of girl on papa's place.
He was comfortably well to do. and we
always had horses to ride and drive.
just love horses. | have often ridden
and driven in amateur horse shows In
the SOUTH but this will be my first pro-
fessional appearance"
Some one asked il she was not rath-
er young to try her skill against the
veteran whips who will appear at the
Olympia show. Miss Schenck smiling
ly said confidently, II am nineteen
years old and have been driving ever
since | can remember, and | have no
fear of defeat by the Olympia experts"
Great preparations are being made
for the show by Mr.. Vanderbilt. Among
the horses shipped from Newport last
February We're the celebrated gray
road four, Ventura and Viking, wheel
ers; Vanity and Vogue, leaders; the
celebrated park four, all winners at
the national Madison Square show;
The Major and Sweet Marie, wheelers;
Polly Prim and The Youngster, lead
ers; second park four, Gibson Boy and
Full Dress, wheelers; Rustling Silk and
Primrose, leaders; two runabout horses,
Lady Kathryn and Albert, also win.
ners at the national horse show; then
the ladies' pair, High Boy and Molly
Darling. by a son of Mambrino King;
two French coach horses, King Edward
and King James, with several others.
All Of these horses are pure native
bred.
In the line Of traps will be two
coaches, three phaetons. three gigs.
two runabouts, tandem carts. knock
abouts, private hanson. brougham and
victoria for the appointment classes.
According to the rules, Mr.. Wander.
bilt to exhibit In the ladies' classes
must have feminine whip. Mrs
Vanderbilt has not appeared on the
tanbark Of late years because Of III
health, so woman whip Of the
necessary skill and style to ride and
drive his horses had to be found. Miss
Schenck has the skill, it is said, and
she certainly has the smart appearance
imperative in show like the Olympia.

TO INSURE DIGESTION
Bride to Be's Scheme For Safe
guarding Her Husband.
ADVANCE CURE IN SCHOOL.

Chicago Society Girl Is Studying Gull
nary Art With Future Domestic.
Newly Wed Cookery and Kitchen
Strife Barred by Panacea For Evils.
Hint for young women about to be
married-train your domestic in ad-
vance.
The gas stove Is no longer the ogre
of Hymen's bower. Through the
genius of Chicago society girl it was
recently discovered how the gas stove
can be house trained and made to
chuckle in every ignited burner, says
the Chicago News. Miss Myrtle Belle
Brown, 1888 North Park avenue, who
is soon to be married to Charles Hig-
gins Mcneil, Is the young woman who
has touched the beacon that warns
against rocks Of indigestion. Were her
method adopted by the majority of en-
gagged young women the leer would
soon be massaged from the features of
grim indigestion.
Following are the means she is tax
ing to insure her husband against the
snares of the average young wlfe's
dinner:
She is taking cooking school lessons.
She is paying for the tuition of do
nestle, whom she will retain when she
becomes Mrs. Mcneil, at the same
school,
One of the gold plated advantages Of
this scheme will be that Mr.. Mcneil
will have two experts to tempt his
palate and to safeguard him from indi-
gestion. They will work in entire ac-
cord having been trained by the same
methods. There will be no grating
sound in the management of the kitch-
en-, save the occasional friction of the
nutmeg.
Miss Brown and a domestic attend
school Of domestic science downtown.
Miss Brown Is greatly Interested In
the progress of this institution and has
been attending its classes for over a
year. The idea of training a domestic
for her service after the marriage
dawned upon Miss Brown early in the
spring. Shortly afterward the domes-
tic became constant attendant on
classes at the institution and wed with
her mistress for honOrs.
Meanwhile Mr.. McNeil's friends are
congratulating him. He can gaze on
the future with serenity and spy no
biscuits bound in boards" slushy pie
or murky coffee to make him shudder.
Instead he will view a vista of mouth
irrigating salads, rapturous roasts and
French things that taste better than
they sound Pepsin tablets are strict
ly barred from the picture.
Il think it good idea to get perfect
cooperation between q cook and her
and that IL why have sent
q domestic to the school," said Miss

Busy With Arrangements.

The local arrangement committee headed by James A. Going and the as- signment committee, of which c. w Mills is chairman, are both busly engaged in preparations for the reception of the gen eral assembly here On Wednesday the 10th of this month, the commissioners will have arrived Before leaving home they will receive d card bearing the name of their host who will entertain them while in Birmingham, with the address, and directions as to taking the street car.
 They will also be sent a piece of blue ribbon with the request that they wear it when dismounting from the train. A large committee will meet all trains and assist them in finding their homes.
 This committee will carefully look after all of them while in the city, and the ladies from the various churches will serve dinners at the First Baptist church every day. Mr Mills has already secured many homes and requests that all who can assist let him know immediately. He is receiving daily the names of the com missoners as they are elected, and up to yesterday all presbyteries but twenty had reported.
 Within the next few days the last pres bytery will have elected it's commissioners, all the assignments will be completed, and the cards can be sent off. This will do away with the usual confusion. There will possibly be 225 regular commissioners but many visitors.
 It is due to the efforts of the Rev. J. w. Htagg, pastor of the First Presby- terian church, who was representative of the North Alabama presbytery last year, that the assembly meets here. Numerous conyeniences will be installed, including a large platform, telephones, and post office to be known as Assembly Station All letters will bear that address.
 The assembly will continue ten days, until all business has been cleared off. committees reported, and the work for the coming year mapped out
