Naturally, as a fash-ionable uovelty, the Ladies' club would be a success, but it would be undiscrimi-natin- g to leave the impression that its success has depended on the fact that it is a fashionable novelty. It is in its way to prove a stop gap in so many helpful ways that women eagerly appreciate and avail themselves of its advantages. The membership has. in fact, outgrown the clnb house, and in the fall it will probably remove to larger nnd more ac-cessible quarters on Madison avenue. Its now niisured popularity has brought a corresponding change in the dues, which were at first modestly set at $10, and which are now $20, and in the fall will be raised to 30. Mary Gay Hum-phreys in Harper' Bazar. ) Tli Now York Ladies' Club. A woman's club was inevitable sooner or later. It was in the air, with straws of tendency blowing from this way .and that way. Yet no oue could tell from what direction it would finally come. There was no potency in the fact that women wanted a t.lub, or that there were clubs in other towns. It required the formality of a reason; and when this was thrown among the hopes, desires, and longings floating about jelly like snd inoperative, crystallization at once tegau. Tb reason sounds paradoxical enough. The New York woman needs a club most when she is out of town. New York lifo is led half the year, with steady on tho other half, oat of town. When a Nsw York woman is out of town she needs to come to town: rhe requires n place to rest over night; she must hare some place to leave her chil- - Jitu whan she is shopping: she deiiircs a wlw to moot few Wends: che nnt headquarters b;i'?fly, she needj a club, and now sho 1ms it. , Tho moiiibwiiliip lias increased beyond j expectation.

Since her resi-dence abroad Mrs. Shaw has availed herself of study. Unable to secure the in-struction of a whistler, she contented her-self with a musician and with a canary, a bullfinch, a mocking bird and a violin and flute as tutors, worked unremit-tingly to perfect her fascinating talent. Since her first appearance in Parisian society Mrs. Shaw has improved very much. Not only is her confidence greater, but her notes are strong and ber trilling is as free and perfect as the gur gle of a bobolink and aa flutelike as the tones of a piccolo. Whistling haa not hitherto been classed among the society arts. Paris Letter. fin. Slitw in rrli. j IlrsShavv, who i known abroad as la - Mrs, Charlotte Emerson Brown, Presi- - v dent of the Federation of 7 Women's Club3. A WOMAN OF AETISTIO ABILITIES. V ' Hiss Marshall and Her Dog Mrs, Shaw in Faris Other Hews for the Ladies, ' Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown, the wife of the Rev. Dr. William B. Brown, f East Orange, N. J., elected president pf the Federation of Women's Clubs, haa Just turned her 50th birthday, and is a Woman of raro social and artistic abili-ties. She is the youngest daughter of Professor Ralph Emerson, of the Audo-T- er Theological seminary, and was born in that city. Mrs. Brown was educated at the An-swer Young Ladies' seminaryk where she distinguished herself as one of the most brilliant scholars in an exception-ally able class. She is one of the rare women who aro born linguists, and the ass with which she acquires the use of language is marvelous. She upcaks fluently no loss than seven languages, aud all so well that in the different coun-tries in which she haa been she has always, been warmly complimented. Among these languages are French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch and modern Greek. These she has acquired without the slightest difficulty, and in-deed scarcely with any great study. Ber memory is phenomenal, and she never forgets anything that she has once acquired. ' But her greatest charm is her marvel-ous magnetism and the power that she possesses of drawing to her thosa with whom she is thrown in contact. Pro-Tio-to her marriage to Dr. Brown she held at different times chairs in the lead-ing educational institutions of Montreal, Chicago and at Rockford, Ills. 8ho is a Woman of rare executive ability. Mr. and Mrs. Brown wore married while Dr. Brown was a professor at the Andover Theological seminary in 1880. JBoon after their marriage Dr. Brown purchased a residence on Chestnut Htreet, East Orange, and they settled down there, but on account of his health he was compelled to go abroad. They spent three years in foreign travel. They re-turned home in 1885, and a year later Mrs. Brown was elected a member of the Orango Woman's club. Two years ago she was elected president, and hold the office until Aliis spring, when she de-clined Her wonderful ex-ecutive ability and personal magnotism were at once folt in the club, and to her more than to any ono else must be given the credit of bringing up the club from 1 comparatively weak position to that of one of the strongost in the country. New York Herald. Trouble Over Mls BtytraliaU'a Dog. School Teacher Flora Marshall's dog, Which has so divided the residents of Wa-- f erford, Camden county, by biting Miss Abbie Rice, a popular young woman of the town, soveral days ago, is forward gain as a candidate for public attention. Four men with guns followed Miss Mar-shal in an effort to get a shot at her big shaggy friend "Nep," which she was taking across tho border of Winslow township to get him out of harm. Miss Marshall closed her school, at Bates' Mill, and came up to Camden, where she held a consultation with Lawyer Martin V. Bergen. "No one has a right to shoot your dog," aid Mr. Borgon. "Get a pistol, and, if they attempt it, shoot thom. " Miss Mar-shall has secured the weapon, it is said, and will defend her dog and herself. Hi nee the alleged biting of Miss Rice, over a week ago, the town of Waterford has been rent asunder, and the question of the lifo or death of the dog has en-tered into every phase of social and bus-iness life there. Miss Rice insisted that as she was passing Miss Marshall's house the dog flew upon her and bit her hand. Bhe and her friends declare that the big brute must die, but Miss Marshall de-fended her pet, asserting that he was tender, gentle and brave, and that sho would as soon part with her own blood as see that of her noblo Nep shed. She was sure that he had not bitten Miss Rice, but may have jumped upon her in play and caused her a great fright. The trouble was discussed in all its phases, and Miss Rice's male friends xuude every effort to got a shot at the dog, but so far they have boen unsuc-cessful. ' At last Capt. H. M. Jowett, chairman of the township committee, was appealed to, and, after hearing all the facts, he issued a decree of death upon the dog. Miss Marshall, however, decree of .death by taking the dog out of the township. The four men who fol-lowed her f6uud it impossible to shoot, as tho plucky young schoolmarm kept so close to the dog that her own body might have received the charge intended for the dog. The closing of tho village school on account of a dog luvs added fuel to the fire among the brute's enemies, and there is no tolling whuro tho controversy will cud. Philadelphia Record. A Frerii rad. A new fad indulged in by society girls is the "alcohol foot bath." It is a method of securing by absorption a very exhilarating effect, and, if indulged in long enough, even intoxication A gallon of 90 proof alcohol will suffice for several baths, and as the only accessories aro a little cologne nnd a hot brick, this latest idea can at leapt bo classed as an inexpensive one. The modus operandi consists in dropping the hot brick into the alcohol (previously perfumed) about a half hour before nsing: then, after as-certaining that the liquid is just hot enough not to burn, immerse the feet in the foot tub, and, after covering tho tub to prevent any escape of the vapor, you git and, in tho words of a French woman, "think you aro going to heaven."

As a bus-iness venture nho has paid interest at 6 per cent, on two millions, but then she has off years, surh ns the ono three seasons ago, when she dyed her hair, and this year, when she is harassed in a grim, malignant and rasping way by tho gout. The Langtry's beauty was more productive of gold than the genius of Rachel, Rosa Bonheur, George Band, Ouida and George Eliot combined. In view of all this, why sneer at beauty on tho stage? Had Mrs. Brown-Potte- r been as beau-tiful as she is reckless, (die, too. might have been quoted in seven figures. A vivid idea of the commercial value of beauty maybe had when one considers tho eases of one or two actresses con-spicuously lacking in physical attrac-tions. Agnes Booth would have been more than a second Adelaide Neilson if her superb figure had been crowned by a beautiful face. As it is, she is undoubt-edly the most capable and artistic actress in America, and her art has lifted her to a higher plane than nature tit first de-signed. But the fatal gift is not there. Despite her maturity, bIio occupies a com-manding por'tion in the first stock com-pany in tho country; but whorcas a statuesque and wooden Langtry makes $00,000 or f70,000 a year, the exquisite art of an Agnos Booth, unaided by beauty, must be content with one-sixt- h of that sum. Denvor Republican. tin I'd Murk Rewarded. Miss Augusta M. Lowell, organist of the Church of tho Incarnation, in Har-lem, has tho distinction of ranking at the head of the women organists of America. Aside from her Hplondor of passion and execution at the keyboard Bhe is gifted as a composer, and some of her songs and sonatas are very beautiful. Miss Lowell was born in California and when a little child began the study of music. Six years ago she came to New York, secured tho best possible instruc-tion in the theory and practice of musical composition and worked from ten to fif-teen hours a day. Sha studied to win and she lias won fame, position and re-muneration. New York World. Mini Bisland Honored. While in New Orleans, on the way to Florida, Miss Elizabeth Bisland, the lit-erary editor of The Cosmopolitan, was the recipient of many social attentions. At a reception given in her honor by her mother, many persons of literary and social distinction were present. A re-ception was . also tendered Miss Bisland by the members of the Woman's club, an association founded by Miss Bisland when she lived in New Orleans. Cur-rent Literature. A Medical (.'oHega for Women. Through the efforts of Miss Mary Gar-rett and other influential ladies in this city a movement has been inaugurated looking to the admission of women to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. They have offered f 100,000 to the trustees on condition that they women on the same footing as men provided they have had the necessary training and the medical education re-quired of the sterner sex. The school is to be a national institution. Local committees have already been formed in New York, Philadelphia and Boston, made up of ladies of wealth and influence. The Baltimore branch has already organized. It is proposed to raise $50,000 here and $25,000 in each of the other cities. Miss Garrett started the subscription here with $10,000, and others aro contributing from $250 to $1,000 each. Boston has already prom-ised its share, and tho Philadelphia la-dies, among whom are Mrs. Drexcl and Mrs. Lippincott, are now engaged in getting their quota. Mrs. Henry Winter Davis is the president of the Baltimore branch. The professors now at the Johns Hop-kins hospital will have charge of the school. The object is to avoid the ex-pense attending the cost of a thorough education in the European universities. Only graduates will be admitted to the Hopkins school, and thoy will have ull the benefits of the great Johns Hopkins hospital. Baltimore Special. Skirt Facings. For facing the bottom of tho skirt a piece of crossbar crinoline and a piece of alpaca or the dress material are required, three-fourth- s of a yard of each. Don't use canvas, nor haircloth, nor buckram, for they aro too stiff, too heavy and These facings need not be more than four inches wide. Alpaca is used o.ily as an economy to save a fabric which may be too heavy or too expensive to use. Exchange. Mrs. Keunan is a great help to George Kennan in his work for the oppressed people of Russia. She recopies manu-script, reads proofs, translates Russian works, goes over the receipts from his work, and sees to their investment or de-posit. Mrs. Kennan is described as a woman of considerable business tact, with much personal attractiveness. Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster is a lovely, silver haired lady of most gracious pres-ence. Though her literary career began so early- - she, was in print at sixteen and has been so brilliant, the good lady prides herself even more upon her house-hold qualities, bhe has brought up three families her her own chil-dren and a flock of orphan nieces. Here is a recipe for eyobrows: First brush your brows towards your nose, then take your pencil and rub lightly through the hairs. When you must use your first finger and thumb, which you may moisten slightly, pinch the hairs jito a narrow and prettily curved line ibove the eyes. Mrs. Edna Doan Proctor, the poetess, .s t woman of middle age, with gray hair that is combed back over a broad forehead. She has an ample income that raises her above any dependence on the pen. She at one time lived in Peoria, Ills., and it a typical western woman. A divreaafiil Woman linker. One of the most successful women bakers in this state lived formerly in the country, near a city of about 100,000 in-habitants. She was a woman with a strong taste for dabbling in art; but hav-ing sterling good sense, (die gave up all aspirations in a direction in which she knew she could never succeed, and began to look about her for a remunerative call-ing. Sho sent her first pies end bread to the city by her father, who brought in farm produce to customers. She charged the regular bakers' prico for everything she offered for sale. Orders began to flow in at once. In a yar her father sold his farm, which brought him but a scant return, and moved to tho suburbs of the city, where he could servo his daughters customers daily with (he bread, pies, rolls, cream biscuit and plain cake3 to which she confined herself. The family soon began to keep help, and bought an iron oven fyr baking. This, in a few years, was abandoned for a hugo brick baker's oven. This young lady now keeps over a dozen American girls to bake and several men to run wagons about tho city. She is the larg-est baker in town, havjng built up her businoss to its present standard in less than five years. Under no temptation has she ever abandoned her home meth-ods or deteriorated the qualify of the materials she uses. She has never raised her prices. Now York Tribune. Paulina Marie Elizabeth Wedde, a Thuringian giantess, is good looking and of a handsome, well proportioned figure. Bhe nieasares about eight feet four inches In height. There will bo a big wedding when she marrios. The Cliauge In AVomn' Shop. The observing pedestrian npon Broad-way or the avenue at the hour of the fashionable promenade will notice that either women's feet have grown longer or that they wear shoes much larger than thai feet. Undoubtedly the latter supposition is ccrreet. The long slim foot is tho stylish shape. The cramped up knotty knncklcs'huve gone out. Shoe dnalcrs preached years upon tho advisa-bility of wotr.au weaving the long shoe; for comfort health, but she refused, Now they have hie npon the happy ex- - r.'Pflient of assuring the dear creaturo that the longer the shoe was the narrow, or it could be worn. Presto change. this pcpularshoois so long it fairly turns up at tho toe. Tho girl who wore a three and a halt now weam a four and a half A shoe, and finds that her feet look smaller and feel more comfortable than thoy ever did lie-- j fora. Physicians claim that the objec- - tionablo features now ara their want of space across the ball mid the narrowness of the solo in the hollow of the foot, giv-- iiii? women a desire to walk ou the heels, ' to the detriment of grace and the dis-placement cf their vcrtebnu. As soon us suiue one miikes it apparent that the former result U the only undesirable one, and thiit it is little consequence if the vertebra) do bang against each oth?r ' like colliding trains at every step, the j shoe will bo remedied still further and made according to approved models, Women have one vulnerable point at which attack never fails of desired re-- suit.
