Osborne of New York City, Lawrence S. Butler, Alexander Wothorlll and Devereux Emmot of St. James, L. and Seymour of Lawreuce, L. ARE SIFTED BY Meeting Held at Packer Institute to Discuss Feminine Amusements.

REVIEW GENERAL SITUATION. Eating Is Climax of Pleasure Is Declaration Made by Gathering. Members of the feminine leisure class discussed their amusements at the Packer Institute yesterday, and It was a most interesting afternoon. Automobiles, dawdling, eating, danoing, teas, receptions, shopping, strolling, gardening, riding, theaters were all discussed by women for women. The main address was delivered by Miss Kate Morgan Ward, who took a birdseye view of amuse-1 ments In general, and left the other women to discuss the details of their own amusing hobbies or antipathies.

Courtship, marriage and children were sot so much as alluded to by any ot the speakers, and are evidently classed as part of the eminently serious business of life. The faot that even flirting was not discussed would indicate that this once popular form of amusement is out of fashion with the woman of to-day. Miss Ward began by saying that we strive by hook or by crook, and often by crook, to climb from the ranks of tho workers Into the ranks of the leisure olass. "We may delight to read about barefooted saints, but nobody wants to be one," she said. "Our pleasure depends upon our having money, much money.

And let us see how we spend It? Let me turn at once to the greatest pleasure of all eating. Long ago we were stirred by the story of the queen of hearts, who ate some and the fascination of eating still holds. It is the climax of all events. Even at a reception the great moment comes when the waiters begin to wriggle in and out, and we, squeezed together, eat! We have probably enjoyed a good dinner between 6 and 7 o'clock, but nevertheless at 10 o'clock we fiercely pursue tho inevitable cro- ouette. soon to be reolacod by the ever present chicken salad, the fancy-shaped Ice cream, and, thank heaven, black cor fee! And It is all horribly expensive.

"And as to dress, lust look at our clothes as you see them at a church funotlon. And then look at them again in the light of God's sunshine, and must we not realize the blind waste which they represent, and the dead vermin which they hide. The mere waste of energy of the average woman in dress lng is a most appalling circumstance. "Do we realize the social danger of our lack of healthy, simple, inexpensive amusements? The husband's ruin is often the final arraignment ot the amuse menta of the leisure class." Miss Ward then called upon Miss Anna M. Corbler.

who had been assigned the Interesting subject of Dances, Recep tlons and So Forth." She plunged forth with Into a defense of these entertain ments. "I think that one of the rea sons why so many of these functions seem so silly is the way the society col umns of the newspapers speak about them. The house is always transformed into a bower of beauty, and the bride is always girlishly charming or charmingly girlish. Girls take dances very seriously, The great hit of tho afternoon was made by Miss Elizabeth Chapin, whose nleturesaue vocabularly and realistic presentation kept hearers lnte'rested and amused for half an hour. She talked about the streets and curious shops of New York.

Miss Alice Chase read a somber essay on the qualifications of the good travoler and Mrs. James B. Warbasse told oi tne delight of taking a horseback ride in the early morning, and afterward going for a swim. Then there was music in another room, and those members of the leinnrA class who still had some leisure left enjoyed the amusements they bad discussed. CARNEGIE EPIGRAMS.

Gives Counsel to Boys in Technical Schools He and Mrs. Carnegie Oppose Woman Suffrage. Pittsburg, April 5 Neither Mr. nor Mrs, Andrew Carnegie have much sympathy for the cause of woman's suffrage. "Pick for your wife the girl who takes care of her mother the girl who Is use ful in the household and does not make the most show in the ballroom," counseled the Laird of Sklbo to the young men at his technical schools.

The high est work for woman is to help and en courage man. The Margaret Morrison schools do more good than all the fight for women's rights," said Mrs. Carnegie, in addressing the girls department of the technical schools. The steel master also gave to the boys this epigrammatic counsel: "Woman raises man to the highest standard. "My mother and wife made me all I am.

"All depends upon the proper mating of man and woman. "The ambition to become a millionaire is low. "To be of service to your fellow man Is the greatest ideal. "Honest parentage iB the most valued heritage. "Don't let money be your god.

"I don't expect to fly until natural wings sprout from my shoulders. "It good to develop the body as well as the mind." PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE.

OFFICIAL TEMPEEATUEE. Apprenticed to Whistler, and who would seem to nave emulated the eocentrtc painter In a way by putting out a quaint sign In front of the Clark Galleries, 586 Fifth avenue, Manhattan, where he has on view until April 9 a collection of forty-seven landscapes, and, in hla words, "figure pieces In oils," Bhowa both Individuality and originality. The collection may be seen with profit either before or after a visit to the Whistler exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. He Is so much of an Individual that he puts on canvas exactly what he sees in the way that seems est at the moment to express what he feels. There is nothing conventional about his work.

He traveled In England and in Spain, and. recorded In some of his queer experiences his own exploits. Such is "Before the In an Interior of a court, the "beak" (English slang for sitting In Judgment on himself after he had been haled to court unjustly on complaint of some grafting street beggars. It Is as pretty a little Interior as one could wish to see. Striking for diffused light and for atmosphere and original pose is "Man and Woman Arguing," the Spanish type of character developed finely and with economy of brush work.

Quite like Zuloaga Is "Spanish Quintette," but leas satirical than that painter. It Is analytical of SpanlBh musicians end oolorful withal, while the drawing Is exceptionally fine. "Man With Empire Vase" has nobility and remarkable balance end pose, with Just a trace of the Whistler influence In Its suavity, although one might never have thought of Whistler had not Mr. Addams confessed the Intimacy. One is reminded of Whistler at his best in small sketches in Mr.

Addams" "Little Black Shop, Dieppe," In sea pieces, etc. The artist Is quite himself in bis landscapes; all remarkable for the uncertain thing called as, for Instance, a "View in Surrey," shown in the Royal Academy; "Rain Approaohlng," with beautifully placed, green hillside; "A Misty Morning." bland and quiet la Its grays over distant buildings and water. One somehow feels that here is a painter, who may not have fully "arrived," hut who has lots of Ideas and who will have to be reckoned with. The next exhibition at the Clark galleries will be by Harry Roseland, well known in Brooklyn. The date of opening Is April 11.

and there are to be twenty-live examples of "negro lire in tne south." BROOKLYN DIRECTORS.

Fischer Wants $20,000 From C. R. Macauley for Some Alleged Remarks. RED HOT BOARD MEETING. Plaintiff Will Drop Suit If Defendant Retracts, but Nothing of the Kind Will Happen.

The usual discussion of the troubles between the city and Silas W. Titus, Brooklyn's "water wizard," in connection with water supplied by Mr. Titus, did not come up at the meeting of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade on Friday night last, whereas since late last summer a committee representing the board had been pounding away at city officials In an effort to learn the wherefore of the controversy between Mr. Titus and those who held back his payments. At several meetings in succession this committee had news for the board, but on Friday night the committee had "nothing to report," and Inquiries were made to learn if the Titus question had been dropped altogether.

It develops now that the committee had good reason to keep quiet, for a time at least, for, as a result of a lively row that took place about midnight on March 14, the date of the meeting before last, one of the members, Augustus E. Fischer, has instituted suit for damages In' the sum of $20,000 against another member, Charles R. Macauley. Through his counBel, Eugene V. Brewster, Mr.

Fischer served summons and complaint in his suit last week, after giving the defendant in the case a fortnight In which to make public retraction of statements which Mr. Macauley is alleged to have made before fifty members of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade on March 14. Mr. Macauley, Instead of making any retraction, has engaged A. A.

Hovell, of 1S9 Montague street, as counsel, who has made answer In which denial is set forth that his client ever made the statements which Mr. Fischer has credited him In the complaint. Mr. Hovell said last night that Mr. Macauley was extremely sorry that the plaintiff In the action misinterpreted anything Mr.

Macauley said at the board meeting. If the case is eevr brought to trial it Is likely that a majority of the board members will have their memories Jogged and pried Into. Mr. Fischer was city auditor for two years under Herman A. Metz, and his office held over a month before Mr.

Pren-dergast dispensed with his services. He Is a former supervisor, and South Brooklyn Democrats on a number of occasions have offered him various county offices, which be has declined. Following the board's meeting on March 14, Mr. Fischer, according to his lawyer, Mr. Brewster, made a verbal demand upon Mr.

Macauley that he retract certain alleged statements. Mr. Macauley came to Mr. Brewster's office. at 28 Court street, and said he had nothing to retract.

The apology which Mr. Fischer felt was due him was not forthcoming and accordingly suit was begun. Mr. Fischer's complaint sets forth that Mr. Macauley, at the meeting, pointed to him and said, in effect: "You were In the controller's office and held up Titus' bills, and you had a reason for it, and Interests which made you want to ruin Titus; you held up those bills through dishonest motives, and I am going to show you up.

There is corruption In this and you know it. and that Is why you have always pounded Titus and held up his bills In the controller's offlce." Continuing, the papers set rorth that Mr. Fischer "has not and never did have any Interest whatever In any water company or enterprise, directly or indirectly; and that he has not been corrupt or dishonest In public office."

More Old Masters at Erich's. Sketches by the Late Louis Loeb. Louis Erich, at his galleries, Fifth avenue, opposite the Public Library, Manhattan has a number of old masters added recently to his collection on view. A fine example of Francesco Guardl (1712-1793) is a birdseye view of the Grand Canal, Venice, in a large work, "The Marriage of the Adriatic," brilliant in color and interesting for historical accuracy. There Is the great decorated red barge of the Doges, surrounded by multitudes of gondulas, ornamented In a way that Venetian law does not now permit owing to the expensive rivalry once existing.

There may tie seen all of the famous edifices, about the canal, and. In the foreground a mixed and Interested populace. By David Tenlers is a "Prodigal Son," sitting under a tree, and the artist's sympathy for the "son" is seen In his introducing a dog that Bleeps peacefully beside him as he sits under the tree and is conscious that on the back porch of his father's house there 1b a feast going on, In plain t-i- nn PdIai tnfltnnees BlUl VI UIUI, V. eighteenth century art in his appealing and very human, If slightly revolting. "Little Glutton," though It is rarely good painting, neier ue noufsu 1635) painted another and very delightful interior, showing some aristocratic musicians wrapped up and Interested In a musicale at home, the diffused light being tenderly shown, end a sort of ivory high light on one of the women performers, strangely posed as standing while playing something like a spinet.

No one in these days could paint more definite textures with light flowing all about the objects. There is a graceful "Venus and Adonis." by Boucher, a characteristic Ferdinand Bol, one of 100 masterpieces at the great Hague exposition In 1903, a strong head, by Dasso Dossi; a splendid Hubert Drouais, an unknown "Lady," considered the best In the Brussels exhibition, French section; with its delicate rays it Is indeed a beautiful "Lady in Blue." Finally, there is an early Flemish "Madonna and Child," ripe and rich In color, by the master of the "Death of the Virgin," indicating. In accompanying landscape, a legend of the flight late Louis Loeb died he letf in his studio a lot of his sketches, paintings, drawings and studies In sanguine and charcoal. His mother had them dusted off and transferred to the Folsom galleries 396 Fifth avenue, for exhibition and sale. Already there 1b a demand for the works as souvenirs by the accomplished artist's many friends.

Many of the works are valuable also for their intrinsic merit. There are sketches lor some of his pictures, such as that was sold for $4,000, the other high priced, "The Lake," "The Nymphs." "The Sonnet," etc. There about fifty skecthes In oil. thirty Illustrations for books, magazine articles, in black and white in oil. beside a number of portraits or ideals, whose titles none knowB, as Mr.

Loeb left no memorandum.
