A New Order In New York. An intense young woman, a member of the Art Students' league of New York, has founded a new order called the Order of the Zinnia, named for that prim and unyielding flowor which is believed be-lieved to be the emblem of perpetual maidenhood, aud the students who wear the zinnia have declared themselves weddod to their art. Each member takes an oath never to marry, but to pledge herself to her work. But, as usual with the irrevocable, there is a post-cript. post-cript. When she has taken the oath she adds the following sentence: "But if I ever do marry I promise to give a dinner to the Zinnias, which shall not cost less than $ 100, as a penalty for having broken my vow to my art and to my order."
