The Social Autocrat.
In stopping- for a backward view
Now winter social season's throush.
A social dfspot comes to mind.
And rrlnarins subjects do ws find.
No butterfly of trifling- air
la she who dictates social far;
No maid Is she of peachblow hue.
No coquetry brings she to view;
With seriousness she wields her power
And holds her sway from hour to hour;
With steadfast purpose In her eyes
All opposition she defies.
Tls ahe who seta the hour of day
For weddlnr reaats; 'tis ahe who'll amy
If folks alinll luncheon dine or sup;
Unless she's willing they'll gir up
And change the plan for come what may
No matter what s the favored way
I'nless she'll come the party's dead;
Unless she's there no one will wed.
How gained she thus the power to rule?
'Twws way way back at cooking schooL
While others tried a prise to win
Of portflam. perhapa or glass way In
She pushed her wedge a batch most light
Of tiny biscuits baked Just right;
Or while the cards were shuffled o'er
She brought s salad to the fore;
While others danced her coffee's steam
Was as delicious as a dream;
While others piled the flatterer's art
By simple me&na ahe reached the heart:
And now. "Will Selma comer they say
"If not We must postpone the day.
Or "Will ahe ftnd the hour too late?
Oh well we musn't make her wait;
"What. Sclma will not come at nine?
Well 'stead of breakfast then we'll dine;
Or. ' Wednesday suits her plana then we
Must give up Saturday. I see!"
It matters not what she may say
This autocrat must have her way.

The Gospel of Art in America.
Mrs. Jean Sherwood of Chicago de-
lighted a large number of ladles who as-
sembled yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. H- Baldwin Rice to listen to this
charmmjc woman talk upon "The Ooapel
of Art In America." The spacious par-
lors of the hospitable home were fra-
grant with the exquisite perfume of the
lovely spring blossoms gathered from
trees and gardens and the soft brasses
coming in through the open doors and
windows added a further touch of reality
to the beautiful painting of sky and
land with which Mrs. Sherwood Illus-
trated her remarks.
Dr. Holland introduced the speaker
wit h a few graceful words of wel-
come to which Mrs. Sherwood re-
sponded with a pretty compliment
to Houston and her people. om-
paring the cordial hospitality of the latter
to the aloofness and apparent coldness of
the Far West whence she has recently
returned. Her next remarks were di-
rected toward the traveling art gallery of
the Federation of Clubs which Is now In
Dakota having left Chicago In January.
She spoke of the splendid work the trav-
eling gallery was doing and how In the
beginning 175 artists had ben written to
In the Interest of the work and responses
had been received from each one. the gal-
lery now having a collection of exquisite
paintings by some of the best known art-
ists tn America. The pictures are cata-
logued and are accompanied by a brief
sketch of the artist. Next year the gal
lery will travel State by State visiting
the Interior towns. Mrs. Sherwood said
that many schools had original paintings
instead of reproductions and that school
children wer beginning to appreciate
more and more the value of the real
thing To understand art one must study
pictures History teaches much books
help but the true knowledge Is In the
st allying of the painting Itself. The rich
no longer have a monopoly of pictures;
the in-lTStandtng of art Is within the
rtn.-h of all. Artfsts see the beautiful In
everything and when the people In gen-
eral begin t( observe the lovely pictures
around them and to see as artists do
then will more ways of happiness corns
to them.
Mrs Sherwood rpoke In glowing terms
of the American school of art
of the strong free sincere work of our
Amprin iixtlst. and displayed several
beau'iful paintings by such well known
artists as W H. Caasldy who now Uvea
in Mexico and who had painted a mar-
velous desert scene especially for the
traveling gallery. Mrs. Sherwood said
that ail who tuid read John Van Dyke's
" The Desert" could appreciate the won-
derful beauty of this scene the atmos-
pheric conditions of which Mr. Caasldy
has portrayed with an unerring brush.
There were also pictures by Mrs Balfour
of rhlcagr. Forsyth of Indianapolis
Charles Partridge Adams of Denver. Wil-
liam M. Piby of Boston. Helen Hyde and
others. Mrs Sherwood pointed out the
beauty of each one and gave now and
then an lessght Into the lives of these
talented men and wnmen.
TT.e lecture wound up with a few hons-
ful wnr-ii concwnlng the outlook for art
In America after which the afternoon
cl-ieed with a delightful informal recep-
tion -luring whirh opportunity was given
for a rhat with Mrs Sherwood while
Mrs Rice served a delicious ice course.

Rainbow Dinner.
One of the most unique and artistically
original affairs of the year was the din-
ner given by Mrs. J O. Ross and Mrs.
E. A. Hudson last evening in honor of
the birthday anniversary of Mr. Burnett
Ross. The honoree bad invited thirteen
of his men fiienda to a stag dinner little
dreaming that other plans were afoot
for his entertainment so that the result
of these plana was as much a surprise
to him ss) to the invited thirteen. The
long beautifully appointed table Is the

handsome dinitiK room held covers for
fourteen and reflected a very lovely color
scheme of green and white. From the
chandelier to a silver fern dish filled
with maidenhair ferns which adorned
each end of the board fell long gar-
lands of Northern smllax while In the
center a hand-painted china and gold
dish held another beautiful fern. Marking
the places were Christy pictures each
having a drawing of a man and maid.
These were suspended from the chair
backs by means of ribbons In the seven
colors of the rainbow two pictures hav-
ing ribbons of the same hue the name
of the guest appearing upon the border.
After the first course of fruit came the
surprise of the evening lasting until the
final serving. There were seven courses
and with each one came two charming;
maids attired in neatest black bewitching
white caps topping their braids and wear-
Ins; snowy aprons trimmed with ribbons
In one of the seven colors of the rainbow.
Each course represented a certain color
the two demure maids deftly serving ths
guests observing an unheard of allenos
the while and though the men used their
most pereuastve powers no response came
from the black-clad damsels. The central
floral adornment of the tablew as changed
to correspond In color with each course.
At the completion of each course ths
two maids were succeeded by two other
maids until the grand finale when ap-
pearing behind each mara stood a maid
the ribbons on her apron corresponding
to the ribbons on his chair while In her
hand she carried a small Ha vi land tray
holding a cigar a boutonniere of a flower
In one of the seven colors and a sliver
match safe engraved with his monogram
and which became a souvenir of the even-
ing. Unbroken was the silence of the
maids until the end when. as
suddenly as an April shower cams a
lively chatter and adjournment was mads
to the drawing room where an im-
promptu musical program wound up the
evening. Each man escorted home the
maid In black w ho had so gracefully
served him throughout the birthday
feast and the personnel of ths party

Kubelik the Virtuoso Tonight.
Those who have been witnesses of Ku-
belik' a marvelous virtuosity think ths
amount named in the policy hs carries as
insurance against Injury or loss of his
bands Is absurdly small out of all pro-
portion to the value of either of these
marvelous! y capable small members of his
body.
That hs Is right to wear a muff In
rough weather ttven If "It la to laugh")
and that he Is also right to wear nothing
on his left hand's fingers not even his
wedding ring. If there were any possible
chance of Interference thereby with Its
wonderful work. For the violinist's left
hand Is the skilled artisan while his right
hand Is ths artist.
In last Sunday's Post were given soma
notes by way of suggestion and explana-
tion of several of Kubelik s selections to
be heard st the Houston theater tonight.
The last number on the program (wle-
nlawskl's "Rusarian Carnival ') was how-
ever alighted.
This la s paeoe for ths utmost bravrxra
skill and dash. The basis of the composi-
tion Is ths melody of a Russian folksong.
The theme Is played first and then come
twelve variation of am axing brilliancy.
There are running passages In double
stops and harmonics arpeggios with every
other note a left-hand piazicato (finger-
plucked string) an adagio with a tremolo
accompaniment etc. etc
The coda (UtUe tail piece) to this com-
position la as quick and- bright as light-
ning's play.
