Show Von can never tell what career a young woman will choose. In the Jlrst place she never knows whether she is going to marry or not Alter she has settled in her own mind she will be an artist, a writer, a singer Or B teacher, along comes the right man and the Idea of career goes glimmering. That has leen the history of the life of 31 is. Gencviec Clark, daugh-i daugh-i ter of the speaker of the House of Representatives, who will be mar-; mar-; rled in the spring. Picking a ca- & rcer for Miss Genevieve Clark used B to be a favorite way of passing the j tjme fur newspaper reporters in i Washington who needed a story. 1 Varied indeed were the careers picked for her. Finally they decided to make a newspaper woman out of her. She went around Washington with ;i newspaper photographer to study his methods at work. She udied journalism, and now all of a sudden her parents announced that It w as all a mistake Their daughter wasn't going to be a newspaper news-paper woman at nil. She was going go-ing to be more than that. She m-.s )- to be the better half of an editor The announcement by Speaker and Mrs. Champ Clark of the engagement en-gagement of their daughter. Genevieve, Gene-vieve, to James M. Thomson of New Orleans has caused more than a flutter of excitement in Washington, for Miss Clark lias been a most conspicuous and admired figure in the yotinger official set In the capital capi-tal for some years. That the wedding wed-ding is to take place in Bowling Green, Mo., the home of the Clark family. Is a distinct disappointment to the many who live in the capital and who would like to see the popular pop-ular daughter of the Speaker a V Washington bride Not since the two engagement announcements an-nouncements made from the White House In the last year and a half, has there been such widespread interest in-terest shown as there is In that of Mi?s Clark, who ha- really grown up in Washington, for her father was first elected to the Fifty -third Congress in 1S93 and has been here ever since, excepting the two years H. of the Fifty-fourth Congress. This period of time takes up the whole life of the young woman, who ia MJ still under 20. Genevieve Clark Is a typical American cirl and all the attentions atten-tions which her father's position in ! the national capital naturally has brought to her has left her wholly unspoiled. Possessed ci a keen mind and a warm heart, Miss Clark has taken a leading part in the welfare wel-fare work of the capital and has helped along efforts for the relief f the hcl pleas and distressed. She has identified herself prominently this winter in the "buy-a-balc" movement in Washington and other parts of the country It la more than likely that she will see to It that the trousseau at her wedding in the spring will be made from the products of the cotton crop and there is no doubt about its being entirely en-tirely Amerii an made. Miss Genevieve Clark is deeply interested In public questons, which she has heard discussed a I home pines her babyhood days and on which she is well posted Her only brother, Benneli Clark, Is now the parliamentarian of the House of RgpV&entatives and sta-icls at his father's right hand at the Speaker's desk to keep him informed should he need assistance. On days when anything extraordinary is taking place in the halls of Congress Mr. lark and her daughter are to be teen In the gallery reserved for (he Speaker's family, but they are al-o frequently to be seen in their seats in other days when most people are not attracted by the ordinal routine business of the House. Perhaps the most disappointed person when Mr Clark failed of the nomination for President at the convention con-vention in Baltimore two years ago was Miss Genevieve, who has the iM.i.-f intense admiration foi her father fa-ther and for what he has done. She waa not onK disappointed at the result of the balloting, but tremendously tremend-ously surprised to find that ahybpdy should want some one else In the While House when they i ouid have had her father. In the Capitol galleries gal-leries and In the corridor- ami restaurants res-taurants she has heard her father adversely criticised bj persons who have nol known her identity, but be it said to her credit and good sense she has remained silent even though she has been sorely tempted to "answer "an-swer back." Miss Clark nr. doubt will have for her bridesmaids two close friends to whom she freqently pays visits and who also come to the capital to Spend part of the winter. They are Miss F.dlson, daughter of the inventor, and a daughter of Gol! George Harvey, whose marriage mok place in the fall, when QIlSS Clark was her bridesmaid Mr. Thomson, who is the son of Tr and Mrs. Augustus P. Thomson Thom-son of West Virginia, and a graduate grad-uate of Johns Hopkins University, has been an admirer Qf the Speaker's Speak-er's daughter since he met her at the Baltimore convention two ycara a go. Thomson has had an interesting; career himself, He started into the newspaper business as a reporter in Washington shortl before the Spanish-American War. The city editor explained to him he knew nothing about the newspaper game and advised ad-vised him to 'hoe com or do anything any-thing else ho pleased, as his talents were wasted writing copy. Thomson then started a news ser-vi( ser-vi( e In Washington to furnish newj I rom Washington about the war. He made enough money out of that to buy a small paper in Virginia for $1,500. After a few years he sold that and bought a New Orleans paper. Matched Jewels in Style.

Women of the harem have thick, soft fingers like little sausages and ihlr nails receive a ridiculous amount of work on them. American women, by taking an Immensity of pains, have fine hands In appearance, but they are hard on contact. The back of their bands Is slightly reddened and the inner side hardened by sports, some of them have callosities due to working with their hands. German women have large hands, and Fnglish women arc not much better. Russian and French women wom-en have small hands, even too small, and why do they load them with rings? Kings should only bo used to hide defects. Italian women also have small b ind-', but do not keep them spotlessly spot-lessly ..lean.
