' WOMAN'S WOULD. A FAMOUS MODEL TELLS WHY SHE IS SO SUCCESSFUL. A Strong Sontkern View—Tribute io t. American Women—The Prophetic Cot—Selence ot Palling In Love—A , Woman*. Foresight. j; Clara Betz, the most famous artist's model In America, has been engaged by liueher, the sculptor, to pose for his etatue of "Eve," which, it is believed, will be the masterpiece of next year's iPnrls salon. Miss Betz will sail short ly for Europe. She has posed for the best American artists and has the ideal Greek figure. All her measurements correspond with the standards of feminine physical per fection laid down by artists. She Is the only model, It Is snld, of whom this is true. These are the measurements: Height, f. feet 4 Inches; weight, 133 pounds; bust, 30 Inches; waist, 23 inch es; hips, 37 inches; thigh, 25 Inches; calf, 14V4 Inches; ankle, 8 Inches; hands, 0j 2 Inches; feet, 4% Inches. "The secret of my success as a mod el," Miss Betz said to The Journal, MISS CLARA BETZ. "consists In my changing from one pose to another without making an awkward movement. "Any one after a little training who Is put in a pose can keep it, but grace ful art is sliowu In changing artistical ly from one pose to another. "I have posed for sculptors and for pniuterß, aud they have never had to change my position. They explain to me In advance what they wish, and I take up the posltiou. ! "I posed for Neagele when he was painting his Magdalen. He said to me that the Saviour's feet were sore and bleeding and made Magdalen weep and be sorrowful, aud he wanted me to be likewise. "I experienced poignant anguish of soul and was in the depths of sorrow for a week. Thus a model helps the painter or the sculptor and gives him Inspiration. "An absolutely cold model, no matter how perfect the pose, Is not the best. Whether one poses iu the studio or on the stage, the face should express pose. If I pose as 'Vanity,' I think and feel that I am very pretty, and an expres sion of prettiness appears on my face. This Is facial language. "To pose well one must be strong. It takes strength to bold a pose for any length of time. 1 take great care of my health. For several months I have posed before a looking glass for three hours a day. "I am very fond of outdoor exercise and have won prizes for long distance swimming. "As a rule women do not walk well. Many of them jerk along. "1 am studying the pose of Barthol di's statue of Liberty and the attitudes of the Venus de Milo. The chief diffi culty is to ascertain the position of the arms. There are two theories: One that she was holding an apple in her hnnd, the other that she was lookiig Into a shield. I shall give them both. "My proportions are almost exactly those of the Venus de Milo, the only difference being that I am half an inch taller."—New York Journal. A Strong Sonthern View. There are plenty of northern women wbo come south to live and who never have the least bit of trouble. This is because they have good manners and do not set themselves up as the censors of the southern women with whom they are thrown. Many of them have a different conception of the negro from the southern women. They may not agree politically with their south ern sisters. They have their own ideas of housekeeping, of food preparing and of giving entertainments. No one he grudges them their views, 110 one would interfere with their methods, no one cares how they manage their households. They get along in the south because they do not try to crowd their own Ideas and methods on south ern women and put 011 superior airs and speak contemptuously of southern methods. These people are as much at home in the south ns if they were horn in the south. Some of the northern women who come south can doubtless do some things hotter than sonic southern wo men, but the southern women have the advantage over them in other respects. We do not admit that the general ad vantage is on the side of the north. The idea that southern women sit around the house reading paper back novels when they ought to be attending to their housekeeping is entirely falla cious. The best women in the south Ibtisy themselves with the details of housekeeping. They do not cook when tlioy can avoid it, but they know how to cook. The southerner does not want his wife to go Into the kitchen. It breaks down her health and makes her a drudge. She Is the home maker, not the servant of the household. The northern woman who Is offensive to the south Is the one who comes here to "Improve" our social usages and meddle with our manner of living, point out the evil of our ways and be stow upon us the light of civilization and refinement. This sort of person usually begins by calling socially upon the "colored ludles," admitting these "ladles" to social equality and then lecturing the southern white women for not doing the same thing. North ern women who come south to estab lish social equality between the races can be assured in advnnee of (social out lawry in the south.—Memphis Cowmer elal Appeal. A Trllmle to American Women. "Why Is It?" suid an Anmrlcau lady in London the other day, "that most of you English people will persist in tak ing the noisy young woman of 18 or 20, who stays alone at a hotel and is her own protector and chaperon, as the typical American girl?" Probably the ensiest reply would have been to say that the real Americans are so quiet und ladylike that they attract no atten tion and that the pushful hotel young lady wns taken as the real representa tive of her countrywomen. It would not have been, however, a fitting an swer. There Is no such thing as com monplace American women. Their clev erness, wit and bright womanly quali ties make them conspicuous. They aim at being real, helpful companions to their husbands and brothers. Perhaps that Is why they have the best time of any women on earth. They have earn ed the position they enjoy In the esti mation of their men folk, which made Max O'llell declare that if he had any future .reincarnation to undergo he would bog the Great Ruler of the uni verse to make him an American wo man, says the London Telegraph. However, passing from that, there is really no excuse why the old traditions should linger so obstinately in this country. There are now hundreds of American women permanently resident in our metropolis, and they are supple mented by thousands of their sisters, whose brilliant Intellectuality every summer adds something to the charm and brightness of existence on this side of the western ocean. The prominent self protected American girl exists, but she is not a type. As a real American lady said, "Most of us are neither freaks nor frumps; we're just normal." But that normality is, compared with most of our own womankind, abnormal, and it is our insular tendency to accept as the type of our neighbors that which differs most widely from ourselves. After all, there Is little difference be tween our national characteristics. What the difference is was very wittily expressed by the lady quoted above. She declared that both peoples were al most alike. "Americans," she said, "are self conscious"—at which some of her hearers seemed Inclined to smile, but she went on—"and self conlldent. The English are self conscious aud shy. There's the whole thing in a nutshell." The Prophetic Cnt. In a neat little villa at Gentilly, near Taiis, there has lived for several years a widow named Mme. Richard, whose sole companion is a splendid Angora cat. Alone the two lived in the com fortable house, and very rarely did ei ther go far away from home. A short time ago, however, the lady felt very lonesome, and so she decided to invite a few of her neighbors to dinner. They came, and after dinner the cat entered the room and 011 account of its beauty at once attracted general attention. The guests petted it fondly, and final ly one of them, an elderly spinster, took it up in her arms and asked it a curious question. "Tell me, pussy," she said, "which of us who are now in the room will die first?" Straightway the cat leaped from her arms and, with tail erect and loud purrs, went straight to an old lady who sat at the other end of the room. Not being superstitious, the entire company burst out laughing, and the hostess was warmly congratulated on possess ing such a wonderful cat A few days later, however, the old lady who had been selected by the cat ns death's next victim actually died, and then the storm arose. Some per sons insisted that Mme. Richard was a sorceress and that her cat was an evil spirit, while others maintained that the cat alone was to blame and ought to be promptly killed. The clamor at last became so loud that six of the ladies who had been Mme. Richard's guests on the eventful evening decided to take definite action, and so they laid a formal complaint before the police au thorities iu which they urged that the offending cat, whose eyes they de scribed as "supernatural and diabol ical," should be killed without delay. What action, if any, the police have taken is not yet known. Science of Falling In Love. No two persons, it is generally ad mitted, will fall iu love with each oth er unless they sympathize with each other to a considerable extent, and now a distinguished German scientist pro fesses to have discovered the causes of tills sympathy. This scientist is Dr. W. R. Schelbler, and lie is the head of an institute of electro-therapeutics at Berlin, lie has recently published a definition and a description of that sympathy which is the precursor of love iu language which is highly scien tific if not verj T clear. Hero arc his words: "The oscillations in the interior of a person's body, as may be seen in the case of vibratory attraction, arc in harmony—that is to say, they are at the first movement in complete accordance with the oscilla tions in the interior of some other per son's body. It is of course necessary that the reactionary sentiment in the case of the two subjects should be of an agreeable nature, since the two vi brations facilitate the movement of all the atoms which in this way accumu late and emit their rays without dis turbing the diffusion. This it is which causes the sentiment known us sympa thy and which subsequently causes love." Certain Irreverent foreign Journalists commenting on this learned definition of sympathy admit that it may be quite true, but complain that it can only be understood by those who have received a scientific education and who thor oughly comprehend the full meaning of the numerous scientific terms which have been coined during the past quar ter of a century. A Woman's Foresight. A Philadelphia woman who was for many years a stenographer and type writer began to turn about in her mind some years ago for an occupation for herself when she should have reached an age to be superseded by a younger woman. First of all she proceeded to set aside a certain amount of salary. Then she looked over the field of femi nine occupations and decided to raise small fruits. Upon arriving at this de cision she set to work to obtain all available information and one winter spent all her spare time outside her of fice work in taking a university corre spondence course In agriculture, says the New York Tribune. She kept her eyes open for real estate bargains and as soon as she had saved sufficient money bought a few acres of land about 20 miles from her native city. Before leaving her position she had a one story house built and spent every Saturday in painting and preparing it for her residence. She had fruit trees and bushes set out, and as soon as they began to bear she gave up her position and plunged heart and soul into the now venture. She is now out of debt and is building a larger house. Her farm is near a largo hotel and a fash ionable suburb, ami these provide good markets for her fruit. She declares that there is no compari son between her free, independent, out door life and her former confined posi tion, where she was a prisoner from 8 to 0 o'clock every day. The Wife of the New Japanese Mill iliter. Mme. Takahira, the wife of the new Japanese minister, is one of the most charming ladies of the diplomatic cir cle and is deservedly popular in the so ciety of the capital. Iler style of beau ty more nearly approaches the western ideal than that of any of per country women who have delighted Washing ton society in the past, and in her adop tion of American dress she displays ex quisite taste. Iler husband having been previously stationed at the gayest capi tals of Europe, Mine. Takahira has be come a thorough cosmopolite, adding the charm of being a brilliant conver sationalist.—Joe Mitchell Chappie in National Magazine. Mourning. Wearing of mourning has altered greatly during the last few years, the time for going about in garbs of woe having been greatly shortened, says Woman's Life. Some people wear black longer than others because they were more particularly attached to the lost relation or friend. But, putting sentiment aside, the established rules for mourning are as follows: For a widow or widower, two years; for the loss of a parent, 15 months or so; for grandparents, nine months; aft er the death of a grown up brother or sister, one year; for a child, according to age, from three to nine months. Valuable Hair. A beautiful pluit of golden hair meas uring 3 meters and 50 centimeters has been much admired at the Paris exposi tion. This beautiful hair belonged to a young Normandy girl who to pay a family debt and save her father's good name sold It to a hairdresser for 300 francs. He in turn sold It to a Parisian coif feur for 1,000 francs, and now it is the property of a lady who desires the strictest Incognito to be kept and who paid 3,000 francs for It. Addreus Qnecn Victoria n* "Ma'am." If you happen to meet Queen Victo ria, don't say to her "your majesty" or try to think of a lunger phrase. Just say "ma'am." It Is easier. Besides, It happens to be correct. Mr. Gladstone used to pronounce it "mum." The formal title "your majesty" Is used upon ceremonial odcaslons, and servants are expected to use It at all times. When the Prince of Wales becomes king, he will he addressed as "sire." This might he shortened to "sir" with out offense. If you are looking for a wedding present, why not buy one of the latest novelties in tableware, a silver handled poultry scissors with which the w ings of game or poultry can he cut off. This Is a welcome addition to a carver's set and will prove a very acceptable gift for a housekeeper. This novelty Is par ticularly useful in carving ducks. Mrs. Jane Ti. Ketchum lias been elected justice of the peace of Burhank precinct, Millard county, Utah. She is said to he the only woman at present serving as a justice of the peace in the United States.

Buchanan says the reason he left so quietly was that lie wanted to go to the Klondike and return with a fortnne and surprise his relatives. Persons who suffer from indigostion can not expect to live long, because they can not eat the food required to nourish the body and tho products of the undi gested foods they do eat poison tho blood.
