and tha latest of these unions made Miss
Lucy Draper the wlfa of Ernest Bohelllng.
Mr. Sehelllng In not an American by birth,
uui came nere very early In life to be with
bis brother, who Is a professor at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and his acquaint
ance with his future American wife began
more than ten years ago.
Mr. Sehelllng returned to Europe at dif
ferent times to study with Ignace Paderew
skl. vwho has always bean hla friend and
patron, to spend winter with the house
hold of the Brand duka of Mecklenburg
Behwerin, who appointed him court pianist,
and to play In the various cities of Europe.
Then he came back and married Miss
Draper. Thry are living this winter In
New Tprk and Mr. Sehelllng plays his con
cert engagements In different parts of the
country, devoting the Intervals of his so
journ hero to composition.
Another American woman who recently
became the wlfa of a foreign virtuoso Is
Mrs. Franz Krelsler. Mrs. Krelsler, who
was Mrs. Woers before she separated from
her first husband to marry the violinist.
Is a native of New York. Bho became ac
quainted with Krelsler when he came her
four years ago and after hPr divorce be
came the violinist's wife.
Mr. Krelsler hns In a greater degree than
some of his colleagues the romantic spirit
of the muslclnn and Mrs. Krelsler has
proved an excellent guide for him. She has
enaHed him to save his money, to devote
tnore time to study and to progress st
steadily In his art that" critics have praised
Mm this year more than ever. Mr. Krels
ier also has her opinion as to the place of
the artist's wife In society.
"It seems Impossible to realize that there
were times whin artists were habitually
Invited about without their wives." she
aid to a reporter "as If such a thing were
possible today! The wife of the artist haa
, ebme to bo recopniied as entitled to share
In the attentions that society shows to him
It seems hard to realize that there could
have been a time when the wives of mu
sician could' consent to assume such an
attitude."
They are not called upon by society to
do It now, as Mrs. Krelsler has learned. So
far as they contribute to the gayety of so
cial functions It la often the wife rather
than the husband who makes the agreeable
guest.
It haa usually been the task of the musi
cian's wife to look after her husband's
health and In a measure after his business of Ladlslaa Gorakt, the Polish violinist, be
and to play In fact the part that falls so fore her marriage to PaderewskL By this

It Is to Mme. Paderewski that every state-

Society Womaa'a Clothes.
N hla story, "The Metropolis,"
In the February number of the
American Magaalna, Upton
Blncluir gives this account of
a New York society woman's
clothes:
''1 don't believe that a woman has a
thing to do or think about in the world
except to' wear clothes!" said Alice. "Why,
she has adjustible mirrors on ball-bearings,
so that she can see every part of hor
skirts! And she gets all her gowns from
Paris, four times a year she says there
are four seasons now, instead of two! I
thought my clothes amounted to some
thing, but, my goodness, when I saw hers!"
Then Alice went on to describe the .un
packing of fourteen trunks, which had
Just come up from the custom house that
day. Mrs. Virginia's coutourlera had her
photograph and her coloring (represented
In actual paints) and a figure made up
from exact measurements; and so every
one of the garments would fit her per
fectly. Each one came stuffed with tissue
paper, and held in place by a lattice-work
, of tapo; and attached to each gown was
a piece of the fabric, from which her
shoemaker would make shoes or slippers.
There were street costumes and opera
wraps, robes de chambre and tea gowns,
reception dresses, and wonderful ball and
dinner gowns. Most of these latter were
to be embroidered with Jewelry before they'
were worn, and Imitation Jewels were
sewn on, to show how the real ones were
to be placed. These garments were made
of real lace or Parisian embroidery, and
the prices paid for them Was almost im
possible to credit. Some of thein were
made of lace so filmy that the women
who made them had to (It in damp cel
lars, because the sunlight would dry the
fine threads and they would break; a
single yard of the lace represented forty
!aya of labor. There was a pastel batiste
de eolre Pompadour robe,, embroidered
with cream silk flowers, which had cost
tl.ooo. Thera was a hat to go wtlh It, which
cost $U, and shoes of gray antelope skin,
buckled with mother-of-pearl, which cost
ttO. There was a gorgeous and intricate
bail dress of pale green chiffon satin, with
orchids embroidered in oxidised silver, and
a long court train, studded with diamonds
and this had cost $&0uO without the Jewels)
And there was an auto coat which had
cost 1.000, and an opera, wrap made In

Lace and Fine Needlework on the New Sunshades
T IS difficult for stay at homes
ln this northern cllmato to feel
enthusiastically interested In
summer parasols, but the mer
chants have been showing many
novelties m this line for the
edification of women going south, and the
parasols have an Interest on ths prophetic
side for all women.
During tha last few seasons tha band
embroidered parasol of linen or shear lin
gerie material has attained great prestige,
and If the early showing is to be trusted,
these embroidered parasols will be pre
eminently the chic thing when the season
for sunshades actually arrives. Thanks to
the cleverness of the designers, surprising
variety is obtained even within tha limita
tions of the white embroidered linen para
sols, and the Intricate effects of mingled
laces and embroideries which characterise
the new linen robe patterns and early linen
model frocks are echoed more or less defi
nitely tn tha sunshades.
Ons may have a parasol of fine, hand
woven, rather heavy linen, on which open
work embroidered heavy padded embroid
ery, Cluny, Valonclennes and Irish laces
are all mingled; yet so skilfully are these
trimmings handled that the result Is a
charming harmony in dee Urn. Naturally
when real laces are used they, with tha
hand embroidery, run tha prices up to high
figures, but there are plenty Of simpler
designs which, despite some band em
broidery, are not extravagantly dear.
A cover finished around tha edga with
buttonholed scallops or with hem and
wRh a design ln band embroidery repeated
on each panel or on alternate panela may
be elaborate or simple, costly or compara
tively Inexpensive, according to tha pre
tentiousness of the embroidery design; but
a majority of tha mora elaborate parasols
nave a panel design which, near the outer
edge of tha parasol at least. Is of com
plicated character.
One model which Is deoldedly effective,
though extremely high-priced, has a rising
sun motif at the outer edge of each panel,
tha pointed sua rays being formed by Inset
potats of heavy laca, while tha half dUk of
the sun Is of linen embroidered In closely
set wafer dots.

Perfect dressing for the street comes by
following these general rules, and having
each detail perfect; the shoes well blacked,
with heels In good condition and all the
buttons on; no holes In the veil. This face
covering must be put on neatly. Let there
be no holes In the gloves.
A girl dressed Ilka this will look' well,

Ln the house one should try always to
wear something different from street cos

very pretty afternoon frocks, for they are
light and simple, and by their quality give
a pretty effect of dressiness.

there Is no reason why any woman who
can use a needle skillfully need go without
her hand embroidered parasol, If she is
willing to expend a little time and effort
upon securing it. As matter of fact, we
are told that many beautiful embroidered
covers are brought to tha shops to be
made up, and we know of at least two
cases In which clever girls have bought
plain parasols ready made and are em
broidering them in effective dot designs.

Colored dots on white or white dots on

end where so violent a color contrast Is not
1.s!red, good results are obtained by em
broidering the dots ln the same color as the
foundation, but encircling each with a
narrow ring of contrasting color. A para
sol of white linen, for example, may have
a deep border of heavy white dots outlined
ln heavy lines of rote or delft blue on
leather brown; and so may match a certain
costume without being made too pro
nounced In color to be generally useful.
Judging from the new cotton and linen
materials, considerable will be done next
summer with the soft browns which have
been popular this winter, the leather, burnt
breai! and similar shades being charm
ingly combined with white, ecru and straw
colors. A few parasols in the early show
ing are designed to accompany frocks of
such coloring.
One tn a yellowish white linen, with scal
lop ede and embroidered motifs of leather
brown, Is exceedingly smart.
Among the sheer lingerie parasols hand
embroidery Is again the keynote of ele

particular type has little cachet, no. matter

Women tn Clerical Positions.
"For lady clerks thera seems to be less
demand than formerly," states the report
of the employment departnient of the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce dealing with the
condition of the clerical labor market dur
ing the closing quarter of last year.
The manager of an Important London
business, on being asked last night whether
he could give any explanation of the declin
ing popularity of lady clerks noted by ths
Chamber ef Commerce stated that his ex
perience was that many lady clerks looked
for a great deal of consideration. They ex
pected to be paid as men and to be treated
as women. They disliked being taken to
task, when they did their work Indifferently
and were too fond of appealing to the chiv
alry of the mere male.
Another business manager thought that
the standard of attainments required had
risen of recent years and many of the lady
clerks' in the market were not up to it. He1
said that he found that woman did routine
work well but showed little or no lnltatlve.
and when set any task which was compli
cated or which Involved much thought
they were apt to fall, with a few brilliant
exceptions.
On the other hand it is worth notice that
the general post office makes great and In

There are now few dally .newspapers

Lesrra From Fashion's Notebook,
It Is fashionable to wear a scarf a couple
of yards long and of a pale sliver tone.
Its maerlal Is a heavy chiffon or a silk
mull.
Several novelty features have been In
troduced Into the new. season's waists.
Mulls, batistes, Swisses, barred, striped and
figured are. In the lead. The sheer one .
only, of course, serves for dressy wear. Ths
color note is another point.
Doubtless the comfortable and cool low
shoe will come In next summer, but Just
now the fancy Is for the very high boot,
and the most elaborate tops ere worn with
patent lent her vamps and with plain black
leather lowers.
Chiffon shawls are liked by women who
prefer always to throw something over
the shoulders: and a wedding present to
a popular hrlde consisted of half a dozen
elegent chiffon scarfs in various shades
of violet, cream, pale green and blue,
with borders widely and beautifully
worked ln every color under the sun. The
border Is, of course, very delicate In Its
tints, so as to harmonize with the dellcaoy
of the chiffon.
I.lnen dresses are to be elaborately em
broidered, but the embroidery Is a matter
of taste. One can work tiny conventional
dots or one can gi Into the elaborate pad
ded embroideries where the roses are
stuffed and made simply elegant with silk
centers and with marvelous leaves veined
with gold or yellow. One's embroideries
are so largely a matter of taste and purse
that It Is almost unnecessary to offer ad
vice regarding them.
Lovely long lace yokes oome for use In
the black velvet dresses and In the various
gowns that have open yokes. These lace
yokes are so long that thy reach right
to the waist line In the middle of the front.
They are round upon the shoulders and
they fasten In the back. The points In the
back are so long that they touch the belt.
Thev are beautiful affairs, these long
pointed yokes of lace, and the woman who
plans her gowns well will Include at least
one good yoke In her stock. It can be
worn for so many oocaslons, and it always
looks well.
