SOCIETY FINDS SOLACE III RACES Grand Dames Discover Diversion at the Washington Park Club house and Pick Winners Besides. A BREEZY STORY r' BY MRS. DE KOVEN Caleasj Absentees Basy at Eastern II e- sorts Rotable to Attend la First Hera Shaw In Milwaukee's History HtTtaciti Dolnara mt Society. A ballad of Washington park: I lore to see the nags run round. In fleeting, swift procession.

And count. In mental wayi profound. The cash In my possession. I love to hear the gladsome howl That goes up for the winner. And handsomely forbear to scowl, Tho' robbed am I of dinner.

I lore to watch the sattn coats Gleam in the sunshine brightly. And wager then some hundred groats Upon my choice all lightly; I lore to watch the sorry dog That carries forth my savings, Far in the rear guard homeward Jog, And thus escape my ravings. I love to seek the clubhouse lawn. And scan the costumed fragile. Then hear the tooting of the horn.

And watch the Jockeys agile. A-slttlcg on the hosses' necks. Like monkeys small and funny. And separating me from specks Of what I've left of money. I love to alt upon the porch, When every race is over The while the tun basceased to scorch- And sniff the acent of clover.

The infield sends It forth to me, A weary, hardened alnner. And it produces pleasantlee- An appetite for dinner. I love to drive serenely through The park's beflowered maxea. Reflecting swift, as so I do. On Life's peculiar phases.

And as the cart the corner turns. And homely Joys Tm facing. My heart with heavenly ardor burnt For all the bliss of racing. Without the season of racing at Washington park, the stay-at-homes, I fear, would have had rather a dull time of It. The South Side course la the only one that la patronized to anv ADnrrlahlA (Ka upper ten, and the clubhouse has been the scene throughout the w-Wk of gay parties that could scarcely have found adequate ui version in any omer locality.

The first families that frequent the clubhouse miss a good deal of the excitement enjoyed by the hoi pollol In the grand 'atand and betting Ting, a few hundred tlnll farther they contrive place their wagers somehow i- Buuiaer ana iney manage to now! In unl-son with the rank outsiders when the right horse comes home in front. Inured as I am to all phases of femlnino Amndnn am beginning to feel, since my visits to' Wash ington par, as alt screams of bliss sounded alike to me. Odd It Is, too, how some of the fair ones managed to pick out winners when their gallant male escorts have floundered fruitlessly in the betting ring, returning bedewed with perspiration and possessed of everything but money. Our friend William Ullrich, for example, who la one of the newly elected members of the club, had the honor of escorting thither the other afternoon an adorable sprite of a maid from Kentucky, who would faint with mortification If her name made known, but who succeeded In electing four winners and sending modest commissions Into the ring upon them, while Billy was floundering amid the vortex fruitlessly following the tips of touts. True, the club people missed the excitement of Thursday, when a bunch of bookmakers pardon again! I mean "layers" were arrested and some enterprising advocates of the gentle art of arson tried to burn down the grand stand, but what o' that? Tou can't have everything particularly If you're Inclined to be exclusive'.

Our famous ladies of fashion continue to distinguish themselves. Mrs. Reginald De Koven. whom Chicago still claims as a daughter, though I believe she and her talented husband have taken up their residence permanently In Washington, has a story In the current Ainslee's that her friends will be sure to say smacks strongly of genius. I am no literary critic; as a rule I have no time to read stories, I am so busy writing them, but this one of Mra.

De Koven'a ought, as they say, to hold you for awhile. It Is about a very chic and voluptuous and wicked Countess who deliberately provokes a duel bechunst her husband and her lover. In order that the latter may have a chance to put the former Into a becoming suit of grave-clothes. At the duel the lover magnanimously fires Into the air. and the husband, who la elderly and presumably gouty, falls dead of apoplexy, precisely Sir Brian de Bots Guilbert did when menaced by the lance ot Ivanhoe.

Afterward the wicked Countess meets the lover In the wood she has seen all. the saucy thing! and essays to encoll him In a snaky embrace. He spur-rr-runs her and she ambles off; still laughing wickedly. It la by far the nutmegglest story in the magazine. Tou can't go three steps up the avenue or across one of the bridges without hearing of what our celebrities are doing away from home.

The folks write while they are away, which leta the other folks kaow what they are doing. From Bar Harbor, where I have a very faithful correspondent, I hear that Sir. Frederick S. Osgood of Chicago, who has been critically 111 at the Homeopathic hospital In Boston. la expected to spend part of his summer there.

There haa been mighty little doing at home except at the country clubs, where the usual round of athletic pleasures. Including tea on the veranda after golf has been observed. There have been some weddings of consequence though the altar will be pretty well deserted from now on until September." In midsummer most people are far too well amuaed to think of marriage.

One of the peculiar features of the Milwaukee show arrangements is this: The wives of the officers of tho association that is paying the bills and doing the work of planning have former a combination to prevent the newspapers from publishing their portraits, and have thus tar succeeded In their purpose. The leading ladies say that under no circumstances shall their pictures appear in the newspapers, although they promise tp honor the show with their presence and do all In their power to make It a social success. No explanation is given for their refusal beyond the simple one that they do not court publicity; but an explanation is possibly found in the fact that one of the Milwaukee newspapers insists upon treating the affair wholly as a "sporting event." A lot of distinguished Chicago people Intend going to the show, which is set for July 20. Mr. and Mrs.

Harold A. Howard have gone East and taken a cottage in the Adirondacks for the summer. Mrs. Howard's mother, Mrs. Augustus Byram, has returned from Europe, and with Miss Muriel Byram and Miss Marjorte Burnes will occupy a cottage In the mountains also.

July 21, 1903, at 7:30 p. m. At home Sept. 1. This from an Eastern contemporary, about some celebrities In Paris, la not uninteresting: "I met another celebrity bn my walk this morning.

Madame Melba, fresh from her antipodean triumph. Is in Paris enjoying the sunshine of the boulevards, where she is generally followed by half a dozen urchins who are familiar with her weakness for giving away pennies. Melba la staying at the Rita, in the Place Concorde, and here she keeps up a semi-royal state quite befitting her great station. Paris has a wonderful attraction for singers. Whenever they have a day or two to spare they run here from all parts of Europe.

This great magnet draws them all with irresistible force. The two- Da IJeszkes, Paderewski, Kubelik, Pattl. Plan-con, all spend as much time as possible in Paris. Young Kubelik, who did not speak a'word of French three years ago, now talks It with a ffuency that la really re markable. When in.

Uvea in a little fiat at Montmartre;" here, and cooks hla own meaia. He is aid to be so rich that be does not know what to do with hia money." The most interesting sentence in the fore going concerns the herculean Tamagno.

who. It Is pleasant to perceive, atlll exercises his talent for cookery. When in this country fourteen years ago he used to cook his own chickens in his sleeping-car, in order to avoid dining-car extortion. No wonder he does not know what to do with his money. I can never hear Tamagno's name mentioned, or see It in print, without thinking of the night It was in December, 1889, to be exact when he made his Chicago debut at the Auditorium.

The opera was "II Trovatore," hackneyed enough, the dear Lord knows, but we had heard wondrous things of the great-tenore robuato and the place was packed to the skylights. All through the first part ot the opera the much-vaunted blacksmith-tenor I believe he graduated from a blacksmith's shop, did he not? waa distinctly disappointing. In his lower notes he sang through his nose, and In every scene he seemed Incapable of gracefully engineering his bulk. Then came the great castle scene and the "Dl Quella Plra," and then the tumult. When the big man struck his high the note that has brought him wealth and fame and all the chickens he can ever coo" in sleeping cars or anywhere else something very close to a cyclone happened.

The note swelled up and up, clear as crystal, true aa a bell. Increasing in volume and resonance every fraction of a second, until" it seemed as if the very roof would split. The effect was unusual. Some people aat dazed. Others half rose from their seats, awestruck and bewildered by a aound the like of which they had never before heard Issue from a human throat.

The blacksmith was not allowed to finish his aria. It was lost in the tornado of noise. Some enthusiastic peop'le, musically inclined, howled their approval, and a fear Idiotlo women threw handkerchiefs, gloves, flowers, and Jewels. There waa never such a heard in the Auditorium, and there never will bo again, unless Tamagno comes back. From a musical standpoint it was perhaps beastly; but from the spectacular inimitable and overwhelming.

Pardon the reminiscence, but I can never forget that wondroua straight from that great brawny chest. If Tamagno would come back and repeat It, I'd cook his chickens for him. WILLIE DEARBORN. Persemaa Notes amd Jottlaara. Judge H.

Herman J. Hall. What a heavenly time those Chicago women are having In Buffalo! They are attending the national convention of the American Park and Outdoor Art association and telling the good people of New York how the cause ot art can be aided by individual effort. One day laBt week Mrs. Herman J.

Hall, the president of the woman's auxiliary, got quite excited over the placing of monuments in parka, satirizing them as effigies. She said that if these granite perpetuations of musicians, sculptors, soldiers, and others had to be in parks it would be wise to conceal them in thickets, where those who wished to find them might do so, but where there would be no danger of other visitors coming upon them unawares. Convention Well Attended. One hundred delegates from all parts of the United States and Canada were present. Among those who-went from this city were Mrs.

E. B. Smith, Mrs. F. K.

Bowes. Mrs. W. F. Grower.

Mrs. C. F. Millspaugh, and Frances Copley Seavey. A brilliant and enthusiastic audience gathered at the hall of the Sorbonne in Paris to witness tho conferring of the degree of doctor of sciences on the most famous living woman scientist.

Mme. Sklodowska Curie, tho discoverer of that myaterlous body radium. Radium seems to be force and matter rolled up Into one. Its properties are passing wonderfuL To begin with, unlike any other form of inert matter, it is hot moderately ao, but It gives out heat month after month and year after year without ever getting cold. If it were as plentiful as coal, or even as diamonds, the problem of perpetual motion would be solved.

Unfortunately our whole planet does not probably contain more than an ounce of radium. As its present price is J666 a grain 10,000 a gram), I- do sot venture to prophesy its future price should some New Jersey trust get hold ot that ounce. Mme. Curie is a young woman, most attractive, and la the wife of a man who is very proud of her, and always Insists upon her getting and holding the first place. A effort is being made to throw open the doors of the College of Charleston (S.

to women, the representative women of the city and state using their best endeavor in behalf of the idea. As usual, the young men object, on the usual ground that the entrance of women "would alter the spirit and tone of robust manliness." Commenting on this ungenerous attitude, a local paper says: "In other words, they would rob every young woman in the city of an education merely to have a monopoly in athletic sports. This of coeducation should be decided by a board ot trustees and not by a baseball team." The young chivalry of Charleston should consider the university, students of their state. These young men. when they perceived that their protests against the admittance of women were vain, resolved on a philosophical attitude.

They would ignore the existence ot the girl students. When a bright girl took first honors at graduation, they grandly overlooked her and held a Jubilation for a youth who came off second best. In this way were they enabled to bear the presence of the inferior sex within their classic wails. Is it true did. Mme.

"Smoking cigarettes and drinking In public Is not becoming la a university president, and la not a good example to hold up to the students of the college of which he Is the head." This Is what Mrs. Carrie B.

Young of the W. C. T. U. thinka of the action of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California.

He also has been severely criticised by a number of the residents of Berkeley, and particularly at a recent meeting of the Woman'a Christian Temperance union. At that time a paper waa read by Mra. Young deploring the fact that one In such a high position as that of the executive of the university should smoke on a train to and from San Francisco, at the depot, and in other public places. Mrs. Young's paper ended with the following expression: "Would to God that the president would not set to the student such a bad example by smoking and drinking In public places.

No Eastern graduate that amounts to any Good-byo Caapf mi COLD DUST With COLD white clothes thing would be addicted to the habit of drink lng or smoking." Mrs. Leiand Stanford, who at a meeting of the Stanford university trustees was chosen president of the board, made an unexpected! announcement-that the power to chocs andi discharge the professors would be taken from President, Jordan and given Into the hands of the trustees. As Mst Jordan has had thla power from the opening of the university, the change of policy has excited much comment. Miss Frances Whltehouse, eldest daughter of W. Fitzhugh Whltehouse of Newport, R.

They were driving one day, when, seein; children paying cents per glass tor milk. Mrs. Strauss remarked that it was too much-for the poor to pay.

Consequently the two leaders of the federation had to go to the reception in their traveling gowns.

The trunic containing the Sags, banners, and bunting for the decoration ot the federation headquarters was also missing.
