BY GETTA R. WASSERMAN. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. (Special.) The last few days have been so bright and sunshiny that it is hard to realize 'that we are not In the midst of Spring, but yet there is that in the atmosphere that makes the wearing of magnificent furs, that are part and parcel of nearly every wom an's wardrobe these days, a necessary adjunct for comfort, as well as for style. Here and there open cars, the first harbingers 'of the youngest season of the year, are beginning to be seen. and the roadhouses and out-of-town resorts are being put in order for their turn in the entertainment of the met ropolitan visitor, as well as the home product. Spring. If anything. Is the most at tractive time of the year in New York, and that that fact Is recognized is evi denced by the increase in the crowds on Fifth avenue and the adjacent streets. Straw hats, for women, are now the rule, instead of the exception. but that may be attributed to the freaks of fashion Instead of to the weather. A rummage sale Is to be -one of the features of the week, from a social, charitable standpoint. Thjs Is under the direct .management of a number of the leading members of New York's smartest set and the proceeds are to be used to defray the salary of an additional "district nurse," which cor responds to the "visiting nurse" of Portland. The sale Is to take place In the ball room of the Rltz-Carlton and it may be necessary to call in the. police to preserve order, as was the case last year at a like affair, when the crowd of would-be buyers was greater than the number of articles to be sold and the sales force, being unequal to cope with the seething mob, had to call on the officers of the law for assistance. A new magazine, to be known as the Chronicle, is to appear shortly and is to consist of articles for, of and by persons in "society." There are to be no pictures or advertisements, and sensational features of all kinds arte to be tabooed. It is to be simply, as the name implies, a chronicle of what members of the upper stratum are do ing philanthropically, usefully and in all serious ways. Mrs. Frederic Esler Is to be manag ing editor and among those who will contribute are Mrs. Benjamin Guiness. who wirt write on "Practical Bhopkeep ing" (a subject that she understands, as she and a number of other women have conducted a shop, for the benefit of charity, for some time): Mrs. Vin cent Astor. on "Americanization,' in which she is specializing; Mrs. W. As tor Chandler, on "The Lafayette Cha teau," which she helped to make a reality, and this article will include her experiences passing through France recently, when she was there to Inau gurate the museum; Mrs. Bayard van Renssalaer, an article on Schuyler House, which has been converted into an historical museum: George Gould, Jr.. a very line violinist, as well as student of all literature pertaining to music, will contribute . an article on that subject, and Mrs. Philip Lydig, Mrs. Charles Whitman, wife of the Governor of this state; Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and Frances Burke Roche will write on subjects in whlchthey take pronounced interest and of which they have made a study. A threatened Invasion of the sacred precincts of Fifth avenue is that of the Woolworth 5 and 10-cent store, which It Is planned to locate at Fortieth street and Fifth avenue, directly oppo site the Public Library. The stock at the outset is to be the same as that of the other stores, but will be changed to meet different conditions as those conditions manifest themselves. Even the familiar "red front" will be a fea ture or the new edifice. Of course residents of that district and other shopkeepers are up In arms, but the managers feel that they are well with in their rights and have the same au thority to be there that the other es tablishments have. The election of officers, and above all that of president, of the New York City Federation of Clubs, created ferment of excitement for weeks pre ceding the election and the result of the three-cornered contest was in doubt until the final day. The West was ln I directly Interested. Inasmuch as two of the leading candidates for office were from that section of the country. Mrs. Olive Stott Gabriel, an Oregonlan who Is now a member of the New York bar and also president of the Women's Lawyer's Club, as well as one of the best-known clubwomen of the state and Mrs. Thomas Vivian, a Californlan, who was vice-presidential candidate on two of the three tickets. Representatives of 100,000 women. I members of the different women's clubs of New York, voted at the election which resulted In the selection of Mrs. John Francis Yawger for the pres idency of the New York City Federation of Women s Clubs. Mrs. Yawger re celved 277 votes, Mrs. Hastings 225 and Mrs. Gabriel 146. The other women elected to office were ' Mrs. Thomas J, I Vivian, first vice-president: Mrs. Simon Baruch, second vice-president; Mrs. John Qulncy Adams, third vice-president; Mrs. Frank E. Bradner. corre sponding secretary; Mrs. Mary M. Lilly, recording secretary; Errel Edward Hart, treasurer, and William B. Smith, historian. The election, or rather the weeks pre ceding it. were exciting for those In terested, as it was the first time there have been three tickets In the field and there was considerable feeling and good deal of quiet electioneering. Mrs. Yawger is a weii-xnown ciud- woman and has held office in numer ous New York city and state organlza tions. The charity ball given at the Wal dorf Astoria this week was, as usual I one of the red-letter events of the so clal season and was as largely attend ed as it .always Is. . This is the 60th anniversary of this function and marked the 30th time that Mrs. Alger non Sidney Sullivan has led the grand march. Five of the ballrooms of the hotel were needed for the enormous number of guests present who represented many walks of life, as well as the rides. The Governor of the state, has ; staff, the Mayor of the city and his official family, many military and na I val officers from surrounding posts, as well as prominent officials of the five borougs. were present to lend bril liancy to the event. A novelty entertainment to be given by the Junior committee of the Ameri can Ambulance Hospital, on fat. valen tine's day at the Plaza, In aid of its relief work, will consist of eword and folk dances of old Japan, plays and a' pantomime, A long list of patronesses Includes the names and In this case the active participation of Mrs. Robert Ba con, Mrs. Joseph Choate. Jr., Mrs. Jo seph Earle Stevens, Mrs. E. Henry Har riman, Mrs. William KJssara Vander bllt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Mrs. Junius S. Morgan and others equally well known. The "Passing of the Redskin." a rhyth mic drama, was the feature of an en tertainment given during the past week by Dr. McCall Anderson, a son of Sir T. McCall Anderson, who was phyeiclan to the late King Edward VIII. Paqulta, an Indian dancer, took part in the divertissement. whicn showed the arrival of Columbus, as seen by the Indians, thinking he must be a strange god; then the bargaining for land, the dissatisfaction of the In dians, their rebellion and final sub jugation, and the eventual triumph, of Columbus. V One of the most elaborate of tha war-time benefits which have been such a feature of the last two years In this city) Is now being rehearsed un der the direction of Miss Elsa Max well, it is to take place at the Cen tury Theater on the '15th of this month, and is to consist of living pictures, posed after the angels of the old mas ters. Mm. Anthony Drexel and her son. will represent the angels of Murlllo; Mrs. Herbert Phipman. the angel In the "Annunciation," the original of which was destroyed in the Rhelms Cathedral; Miss Pauline Dlsston will be a Carpaccio angel; Miss May La denburg. the angel in the "Dream of Daniel": Mies Eleanors Sears, a Velas quez cherub, and a host of other of the most beautiful women, children and even men of society will poso In other of the pictures. One of the "greatest ameers" of th world will sing, but must aonear masked and incognito, as owing to contract he nay not elng under his own name. Four of the big war charts ties will be beneficiaries. Mrs. William J. Gaynor. wife of tb late Mayor of this city (who was as-4 sasslnatnd several years ago) has en- tered the professional concert field Mrs. Gaynor gave a sons' recital on Friday evening at the Brooklyn Acad emy of Mueic. She was assisted by Philip Bennyan. baritone, and Maestro Fernando Tanara at the piano. Miss Mary Antln was one of thoaa heard in original readings at the au thors- matinee, given for the benefit of the Mary Fisher Home for Authors, which took place in the Astor Gallery of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Fri day. Dr. Lyman Whitney Allen pre sided, and Introduced the SDeakers.' who, beside Mies Antln. were Hamlin Garland. Clinton Scollard, Mrs. Alice Megan Klce Miss Mollie Best. Joseph, C. Lincoln, Henry Wellington Mack and' Joyce Kilmer. Robert Conness had one of the mont Important roles in the Stage Society's production of the Arturo Glovanittl . war tragedy. "As It Was In the Berin. nlng." which was Its annual offering. Mr. Connees had the role of Maurice Jourad. a poet, who for years has preached the policy of non-resistance. while his country has been invaded, but when his own home Is violated he changes to a violent militarist and joins the fighting force of his nation. He returns after several months blind ed and with all his fine Idealism changed Into the coarsest materialism by the evil influences of war. John Sainpolls. another actor well known to fortiand audiences, was excellent as an officer in the ranks of the enemy. Madge Kennedy, one of the heat. known actresses of farce in thta coun try and the star of "Fair and Warmer." iwm Beds and a number of other successes, was married on September 30. although the secret has Just been, divulged. Miss Kennedy ie a native Californian. The bridegroom is Harold Bolsten. of the Vitagraph Company. The latest novelty In playlets Is one in which movie methods are incorporat ed into the speaking drama. The ac tion, which Is partly explained through, the use of the explanatory texts, as In the film dramas, proceeds much more rapidly than In the ordinary play let. In fact It fairly Jumps from one episode to another. In addition, by the very clever lighting effects, different parts of the stage are used for differ ent scenes of the play at the same time. One of these plays was the fea ture of the Palace Vaudeville bill this past week and will probably play tha Orpheum circuit. Mies BUlle Burke (Mrs. Florenz Zier-i feld. Jr.) poured tea recently at Zahrah. Inc.. No. 1 East Forty-ninth street, which Is the name of the shop that Mrs. Benjamin Guiness, Mrs. Harry H. Duryea and Miss Constance Collier op erate In the cause of charity. From now on the organizers plan to have leading women of the stage act as hostesses for the Friday afternoon re ceptions they intend to make a feature) of their enterprise, and prominent so ciety women will pass the tea. Nick Zan Is kept so busy making records for one of the principal phono graphic concerns here that his beauti ful voice is all too rarely beard in actual song recitals. Oregon has a native daughter who has just made her debut In grand opera; Miss Ruth Frances Miller, who. under the stage name of Francisco Milena, sang the role of Gilda in "Rig oletto" on Tuesday evening, February 6. with the newly organized Cosmopoli tan Opera Company. i Miss Miller is a daughter of Frank J. Miller, who was formerly connected with Lang & Co., and she was born In Portland and lived there for a num ber of years, until they moved to Seat tle, where her father Is still located. The young prima donna studied abroad for five years. In both Spain and France, and she was one of the last pupils of the famous teacher, Sbriglla. She was about to make her debut In one of the well-known opera centers of the old world In this same role of Gilda, when the outbreak of the pres ent hostilities changed her plans, as it did those of so many other artists. Now she has her chance here, and if ambi tion and pluck, in addition to the gift of a beautiful voice, count, the com bination should spell success. . . Lord and Lady Aberdeen have re turned to the Ritz-Carlton from Chi cago and expect to remain here for the next two months. Much Interest has been created in the Nation's capital by the engage ment of Miss Violet Ersklne, one of tha first women to hold a diplomatic posi tion under the British government, and Horace Seymour, third secretary of the British Embassy, In Washington.
