haired and exceedingly youthful in
manner. Her home here, Studio
House, has been rendezvous fol
struggling young artists, musicians
and writer's.
Mrs. Barney was Miss Alice Pike
of Cincinnati, daughter of a well
known theatre proprietor and dis
tiller. She went abroad to study art
and upon her return was married to
Mr.. Barney, an Ohio banker, who
made millions from the manufacture
of cars.
Her two daughters have inherited
Mrs. Barney's artistic talents, but
not her fondness for Washington, in
which city they decline to live. Miss
Natalie for years has spent the
greater part of her time in the ORR
ent, devoting her life to the Bahai
faith. Miss Laura makes her home
in Paris, where she is regarded as a
gifted sculptor and a promising play
wright.
Mrs. Barney has willed Studio
House, with it's wealth of art treas
ures and Oriental curiosities, to the
city of Washington for a museum.
She expects to return here after her
marriage. Mrs. Barney is noted for
her charities. She founded Neigh
borhood House, a social settlement,
of which she is the principal patron.

YOUTH WINS GIRL OF 81.
Gifted Washington Heiress to Wed
Young Protege.

The announcement by Mrs. Albert
Clifford Barney that she is to marry
Christian D. Hemmick, of this city
socially little known and less than
half her age, came to Washington as
distinct surprise.
Mrs. Barney has painted pictures,
written plays and acted in them
composed music, given Oriental
dances in public under transparent
pseudonym, and been converted to
Bahaism, an Oriental faith. For the
last year she has been living in
Paris with her daughter, Laura, and
the announcement of her approach
ing marriage was conveyed in letters
to her friends in this city.
The marriage, according to friends
of Mrs. Barney, will take place in
Paris next month after the prospec-
tive bridegroom has completed the
months residence required of aliens
by the French law. Inquiries at the
residence of Mr.. Hemmick's sister,
Mrs. O. H. P. Johnson, with whom he
makes his home, today elected the
information that he is now on his
way to France.
For some months prior to Mrs.
Barney's departure for Paris Hem
mick was frequent caller at her
home. Owing to the fact that Mrs.
Barney is exceedingly popular with
the younger set no special signifi-
canoe was attached to his attentions
to her. The two were seldom seen
together in public, and the difference
in their ages precluded any idea of
an engagement.
Mrs. Barney's romance with young
Mr.. Hemmick dates from the time
two years ago when he acted a small
part in her own play, ''The Man in
the Moon,'. produced at the Belasco
theatre. During rehearsals at the
home of the playwright, Mrs. Bar
ney, who had not previously met
young Hemmick, was noticeably gra-
cious to the tall, handsome young
man. She interested herself in his
social advancement and took care
that he should meet her friends.
Mr.. Hemmick's father, Ronald
Hemmick, was formerly consul at &C.
neva. The prospective bridegroom
is 2e years old, while Mrs. Barney's
age is given as 81. Hemmick is not
credited with wealth. Albert Cliff
ford Barney, who died seven years
ago, left s5,000,0O0 to his widow
and half that sum to each of his two
daughters.
Mrs. Barney is short, slender, fair

HOW TO TELL A wOMAN's AGE
This Plan Will Trap Her Unless She
is Suspicious.

This Plan Will Trap Her Unless She
is Suspicious.
Every man seems to be born with
desire to know the age of ladies
with whom he comes in contact. Wo-
Hen also appear to have an innate
curiosity concerning the number OF
summer" which have passed over
the heads of their female friends.
But there is nothing more difficult to
discover the exact age of a woman
man who wishes to keep the fact
secret.
Now here is a little scheme which
a mathematician has just discovered
to find out the age of any person.
Having engaged that person in
pleasant conversation, you proceed
something after the following man
ner, speaking very innocently, of
course:
There is very simple problem
in arithmetic which very few people
are able to see through, yet it is as
easy as possible. I wonder if you
can do it."
This sets the woman on her dig
nifty, and she wants to do it at once.
think of a number corresponding
to the numerical order of the month
in which you were born. Oh, no,
you needn't tell me-"
To make the explanation clear we
will assume that the figure Is 2,
standing for February, and that the
age is 80.
"Now, multiply that figure by g."
you continue, "and add S. Done that?
Well, multiply that by so and add
your own age. From the total SUBJ
tract 365 and to the result add 115.
Now, what figure have you got?"
1.-TWO hundred and thirty" replies
the person addressed. isn't that
correct?"
"Exact!" you exclaim. "You are
one Of the very few persons who have
managed it,"
And you turn away to hide your
smile of satisfaction at having dis
covered that your victim was born
in February and that she is 80 years
of Age. You have arrived at this
result by separating the figures 23O
in (February) and 80. And you
can do this with everybody's age.
Try it on your sweetheart.

do I understand the brother to
say that he thanks God for his ignor-

"Well, yes, if you want to put it

A youth was going out to his first
formal dinner party. His mother
said: "Now, don't forget you man
ners, James; be sure to say some
thing complimentary when the food
is passed." He endeavored to do
so. When butter was served he re-
marked pleasantly, "This is pretty
good butter, what there is of it."
The remark was not we'll received; !;
he saw that he had made a mistake,
and he endeavored to correct it by
saying, "And there's plenty of it,
