IMS two girl artists laid aside (heir brushes in despair. It was nib* Voelc before Thanksgiving, and (lie joint and several as sets of the studio maidens were not suf fkient to transport oven one of tliem to tlie New England villages where the old folks at homo would next week dispense liberal hospitality. The glil artists lmd a weakness for the good things of life and their hearts hankered after the mince and pumpkin pies and the roast turkey of their native New England. There had liot been much of a l>oom in book cov ers, magazine illustrations or fashion sketches, ami the money that the more gifted of the two had, received for a water color sketch of some pink chrysanthemums u couple of weeks before had been almost all expended in paying tribute to t lie landlord, who was exacting In regard to rent. They worked away silently fyf an hour or more, and then came a- raTAi tat at the door and there entered the girl who wrote the fashion articles, fclio had come up for a new bunch of fashion sketches, and she ordered thy fasluou artist to put on her hat and Jacket and come out with her for the morning in quite a masterly manner. "They want a Thanksgiving party story down at the otlice, and I need for it some sketches of real society women, dressed in clothes that are really fashionable, fy> 1 am to have you mako them for mo instead of Artists I'Ugcrsley or Whoppersnap at . the ofllce. 1 told the city editor that those men wouldn't know a ball dress from a bath robe, so they'd better let mo get you to make the pictures. lie said all right, so we ea\i go out and * take our time doing the shops. We'll lunch somewhere nlong the route and can charge it to the oliice, you* know. "I suppose," continued the girl who wrote fashion articles enviously, "you will lioth be going home for Thanks giving Day and getting all sorts of good things." She groaned as she contemplated the prospect of her o\^i lonely feast in some dingy uptown restaurant, for the girl who wrote fashion articles had nowhere to go\.ou that festive _day, even if the denfttud for copy in the otHce down town would have per mitted her to leave the city. "No, we can't go home,'" the studio girls .replied. And that was how the plan originated, a plan so brilliant und so susceptible of glvlug a touch of originality to .anybody's Thanks giving celebration that it Is thought to lie worth telling. Invitations were at once sent out to seven frie^uls of the studio women, Sfhe girl who^vrote fashion articles having invited herself that day as a reward for suggesting the plan. In the eveuing, when their daily tasks were done, the artists got out their boxc3 of water colors, and, until bedtime, painted away industrlov^y on slips of water color paper. The woman who wroto fashion articles contributed some slips of paper cov ered with her queer hieroglyphics, and __ these were transferred to the painted paper in equally ambiguous characters called old English lettering. Jfow might often be seen the studio young women holding serious con ference with tho keepef of the res taurant in the next block; all of which was done with npdellghtful ulr of holiday mystery. < Thota wow an unwonted stir in the ' Studio of the wftinen artists on Thanksgiving morning.

Their wraps were laid aside In tho studio of another forlorn bachelor woman who had been invited to the dinner partly ont of kindness, because It was known Phe had nowhere else to go that day, and partly because her studio would be useful. The strangers roamed about the de serted halls until dinner was an nounced. Tho groat brown turkey and the cooked viands had boon sent in by the restaurant keeper from whom they had been ordered.

Tho convention adopted resolutions of greeting to Proaidont Roosevelt, pledging its support and ex pressing confidence in his admlnislru ?ion. Mr. Search, in taking the chair, out -lined the work before tho convention. Ho said in part: "Our aim has boon to forestall tariff agitation, uot to encour age it. It is the duty of ihis convention to harmonize as far as possible the widely differing opinions represented in this body and to reduce to clear and forceful expression such principles as we hold In common.

From all that can 1h> gathered there will be a Splendid gathering In Charleston ion that day, and it will bo one com posed of men distinguished in all the walks (>f llfo and representing tho en tire SI a to. Those in charge feel that there will not be less than 200 or 300 who nn ill mshhioM.* in Columbia and yo to Charleston with the present stu dent body ol tho college. In view of the fact that there aro indications of such a largo attendance m iu\h g?\ norm's "X no xtate alumni or- ' ganizntion has determined to mako un effort to get a special rate front tho railroads. A special committee has been appointed to tuko the matter up with tho railroad officials and it is believed that a special rate can bo obtained. Certainly every effort will be made to secure a rate. It Is I claimed that special rates have al ways been allowed at all other ex positions, and in this caso there i m no question of the number who will attend if the rates aro at anything like a reasonable llgurc. Tito executive committee of the alumni association has been hard at work on the preparation of the pro gramme of the exercises to tako plaeo in Charleston, and a preliminary pro gramme was sent, to various out of town members recently for sttgges gestions and approval. Some sugges tions have been received and the lo cal members are to meet soon to ar range the final programme, which will at once be published. T|ivOhfy Trouble is over the toast be given at the banquet. So fastis the committee can cut the number there will be not less than a dozen toasts, all but three or four of which will be responded to by men who are distinguished in the various walks of life ? men distin guished in the different professions. The vOuiiriiii'-v has tried to net. the list, of toasts down to u reasonable number and may succeed, but it is rather difficult for the South Caro lina college Ims so many distinguished alumni that it. is hard to do this. In this connection It may be men tioned that the Alumni association are sending to State Superintendent, of Kducation McMahau their contribu tions from $1 up to pay for the por traits of I)rs. Wood row and Me Hryde, the only two living ex-presi dents ^rnr^eoiloge. which are to lie presented to the college by the nluirrtii on (hat occasion. Several alumni have volunteered to pay any amount that may bo demanded, but Mr. McMahau prefers that the presentation repre sent tite whole alumni and hopes that the former South Carolina college men. will roHnom\ to tuliJl. Here is a sample letter that is be ing sent to the various alumni of the college, some representative of each class sending It- out: Dear Sir: Class reunions will be a special feature of the college celebra tion at Charleston on Dec. 10.

Tho now Hay Pauncufoto treaty wiw signed Monday nt 13:0ft by * >' ~ lUty for _lhu United States and i/ovd I'annjefof, the British ambassador, for (Ireal Britain. Phis treaty is Intoiuled to replace tho llrst Hat -l'auncefote tre:iLVj Thai eon- , volition was amended" ho extensively hy the United States Sonata at Its last session 1 hat tho British government declined lo ratify It. Within a few weeks negotiations began afresh lav tween Secretary Hay and Lord I'annco fote, which have .Inst rcauitod in the signature of tho new treaty, drawn with special reference to the objec tions found by the Senate with t,We first treaty. From a dno sense of the oour tesy which must be observed towards the* United States Senate whereevcf a treaty is concerned, tho State He part ment la estopped from making pub lic the text of the. new convention, and that will remain socm until tho Sen ate itself shall break tho seal of -v.mil dence. it Is said at the Stato Department that tho various publication* which have been mil do of tlie alleged text to the treaty are all orronowous atW con jectural. though, in view of tho rather free admissions that havo been made of the purposes of the negotiations, It ha? been possible by the use of the to'tft of tho first. treaty to construct ono si hill ar Aw general terms to tho . now convention. v Tho princlpaffyolnt of difference be tween the new and tho failed treaty Is the withdrawal of Great Britain from the joint guarantee of tho new treaty of tho canal. thu? leaving the United States the sole guarantor. The excision of the old provision respect ing the right to fortify the canal leaves that right by Inference optional with the United Stilts All wmimcreii of whatever nationality passing through/ the canal will fare ullke, there will bo no discrimination In rates In* favor of tlu- United States. Otherwise the now troaty Is In scope similar to last year's treaty. K re places technically the Ciayton-Buiwer treaty concluding on April 10, 18&0. By the terms of that oltl convention ths United States and (Beat Britain agreed that neither should seek any advan tage In rights of transit across the isth mus. By tho new convention Great Britain yields her right, Jn favor of tho United States, which is thus at liberty to construct a canal. Nothing mote remains to bo done as far as this treaty is concerned be fore tho Senate meets, or indeed un til tho treaty shall have been ratified, rejected or amended. If It should be ratified, the Stato Department will proceed Immediately to negotiate the treaties with CoBta Klca and Nicara gua for which it already has arrang ed in protocols pending before the Senate, which will permjt tho?-" canal to be constructed and ,v\eserlbe the terms upon which the co .ent of Nlca n rag u a and Costa Hlca Is glVen. It was In anticipation of this action, It Is promsed. that the Nicaraguan gov-' eminent only recently denounced the ? treaty of trade and commerce with tho United States. This treaty con tained sectlond conveying rights as to canal construction which avo to be replaced by 'more^ modern pro visions. ? There was no particular ceremony connected with the signature of the important convention. Lord Paunce had been indisposed for several days, and It was not expected that tho treaty could bo signed before tho end of the current week. However, to the surprise of tho State Department of ficiais, the ambassador appeared at the Department about >?oon and the work of signing the treaty was soon dispatched. The scene was the his toric diplomatic chamber or the 8tatc Department, and beside the prlnel-> pals. Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce fote, there were present Mr. Sldnoy Sip'th, chief of the diplomatic bureau of tho Stato Department, Mr. Percy Wyndham. the second secretarv of< ' the British embassy, snd^ W^llUn* iiTy loffln<ktate's~r Prlte./ WeasonSefffT whose duty it was to attend to the af fixing of the seals. The treaty was signed by Secretary Hay with a gold pen in a silver hen holder, which had been used In tho signature of othjjr conventions and Is tho personal prop ?r?v of tbp Secretary. . 1 LIVE ITEMS OF NEWS.
