18 LONDON'S REAL NEW WOMEN Oddities of the Pioneer Club Of London GROWTH IN RECFNT YEARS Where Women Smoke Cigarettes and Make Speeches Mrs. riMslngberd, the President, Wear. Strange Clothes, and Nearly All of tha 500 Member. Smoke Correspondence to The Herald. — LONOOX, April ill.—Nowhere else ln the world, perhaps, has the new wo man aserteil herself with such business like emphasis as he re, ar.d the very cen ter of the idea is located tit No. --' P.ttr ton street, once the town house uf Lord THE PIONEER'S DINING ROOM Hastings, but now tho home of the Pio neer club. An hour or two spent nt this clu< will teacH the visitor more about th new woman than hi' or she evei dreamed. Moreover, tho newcomer will see the new woman in real life, not a. she is grotesquely pictured, or not a some alleged new women pose before the public. The members of the Pioneer club are all women and the club is run on, very nearly th.' same lines as those of the av erage well-to-do club in a metropolitan city. Hi-re the new woman does nol spend all of her time talking about what the sex should do to assert itself. They do not strive to revolutionize tin world at one swoop, or talk incoher ently about what will happen when th" feminine millennium mmc?. They have simply taken matters into their own hands and have gone ahead in a iirac tlcal way. doing what tl.e other new ■women say should lie dore. When the Pioneer club was organized ln May, 1892. by twenty odd women much was written about it as as an in sane effort on the part of a few misguid ed women to ape the ways of masculin ity. After the first outburst very little was written about it. because it Boon assumed the shape of an established fact, ar.d Its prosperity badly rattled the prognostication of dire failure so freely made. As to its success, It is only necessary to =ay that the membership now num bers more than 500, anil the club has had to change its quarters repeatedly to meet the requirements of it* prosperity. THE PRESIDENT The gttidinc spirit of the club and its founder Is Mrs. Masslngberd, tt woman of fine family, broad education ar.d con siderable wealth. In years, she Is some where around forty, but owinp- to the way she dresses, her age would seem nearer twenty. This is particularly the case when she Is Bitting at a table, when only her face and the upper part of her body are visible. She wears her hair short and patted on the side. Her mouth la large, her cheek bones prominent, her eyes are large, and the expression of her face is quite masculine The idea la height ened by her manner of dressing, it is Bald that she wears a mail's shirt, but whether this is true or not, she wears a high eolh r with the etuis turned down, a four-ln-hand cravat, a white waist coat, and a coat fashioned like the ordi nary swallowtail without the skirts. The sleeves of this coat nre a trifle fuller and the lapels ar" broader than those of a man's coat, but altogether it is a very fair representation of the mascu line garment. Mrs. Masslngberd wears THE CLUB HOUSE IN BRUTON STRBET a plain skirt, hut she favors what Is called rational dre: MAY VISIT UNCLE SAM She is an unusual woman, and If she goes to the United State:', ns she prob ably will In the autumn, she will creab a sensation. In London she lives i the Pioneer, having a suite of apart ments In the club house, but she als.. has a fine house at Bournemouth, ai a large estate in Lincolnshire. She has long beer, famous as a temperance ad vocate, ranking with Lady Henry Sum. erset in that respect. Lady Somerset 1^ j also one of the powers in the club, am Miss Olive Schreiner is a promtnen member. Sarah Grand, another authoi ess of note, Lady Florence Dixie, Lad. Harbcrton and Mrs. Jopllng Rowe, BJ women of more or less fame, belong t. the club. . When a woman's name is put upiio membership in the Pioneer a standim committee appointed for the purpos mak.-s a rigid investigation as to He I character, standing and antecedent! | If the slightest thins la discovered con trary to the high standing set by va club, the woman is informed that bh< is ineligible and her name is taken dov. I without more ado. The initiation fee is three guineas am the annual dues are the same. The upper part of the club house contains a number of bedrooms for the use <>. country members for a limited number I of da vs. and this has proven to be one !of the most attractive features of the i Pioneer. Every Thursday there Is n regular Cluh I dinner: well cooked ami well served nt ■ n cost of 2 shillings nnd fi ponce, or about i «o cents. No wines or liquors are served i in the club, in deference to the temper -1 ance views of many <>C the leading mem bers but when the coffee has been ; served three-fourths of the diners light cigarettes and listen to the speeches while blowing rings of tobacco smoke toward tho ceiling. THF! NICOTTNIS TtOfM Smoking is one of the recognized fea tures of the club. One of the two sacred apartmeOTS In the house to which vis itors are never admitted is the smok ing room. All kinds of cigarettes are kept ln the club house. Including the all-tobacco kind, as some of the mem bers have progressed sufficiently In the art of smoking to frown upon the paper rolled affairs. Full tledsed cigars have not yet been Introduced, but as the habit grows stronger they are bound to make their appearance, nnd perhaps the day will come when the briarwood pipe will be in favor. A combined library and writing mom is the other apartment sacred to the members. CAKE NOTHING FOR CRITICISM -MRS. MASSING BBRD, President ol tho Pioneer That the membra do not care a rap about the adverse criticism hurled against them is <niite apparent the in stant the visitor passes from the street , into the ante-room, for on the archway dividing this apartment from the Inner I ante-room is inscribed this dictum: ■ "They say What say they . Let them say." The motto of the club, . Inscribed on the wall of the main draw j ing room is Pt. Augustine's magnificent I dictum: "In good things unity. I 1 s -.ell things liberty. In all things charity." in the matter of furnlshli gs and equipments the club is perfi ot and un der the guiding hand of woman has many little comforts which tho ordin ary fashionable men's club does not possess. Trtiy Touching SC-ne "Per ouriosita," as the Italians say, I translate some sentences from the re port of the Emperor William's visit re cently to Camaldoll, whither the arch bishop of Naples repaired to meet him. The report scc:ns to be from the pen of the archbishop's chamberlain, "Our pastor." it says, "the austerity of whose spirit Is united to great tender ness of heart, received the German em peror like an affectionate father. Our angelic archbishop fascinated the royal family, at.d William 11, on whom this fascination naturally operated with greater force, spoke for some length of time in a low voice with the prelate. They were seated close together, but no one could know except the empress, who sat ut the other side of the archbishop, ami Count Bulow, seated a little way bt hind, of what they conversed. The emperor, putting questions and listen ing to the reply, became always more eager to Inquire, mid more satisfied, pkascd and glad at hearing the answer, lie was very much in car est. his keen blue eyes were brighter than ever. Very often he broke into one of those Irre pressible effusions which si ise him w'm n he is enthusiastic or much moved. "'''he pooi- and simple nmnks offered wine ami cakes in rustic plates ami glasses to the empei or and empress, and will never forget the frank and jovial manner witlt which the emperor accept ed their rift and, In his turn, passed on the wine to the cardinal. Tile emperor I then desired to see the archbishop's ( ell, j ,\iv re lie wrote his name below a pho "The archbishop nnd the emperor walked up and down like two dear friends who had been parted for some time. After about an hour the i mperor, Impressing, llkeagobd son.on the monks to take great care of the archbishop, left the monastery, when the setting sun sa luted the meeting, which though simple ami unceremonious, has all th" genial ity of legend and perhaps ail the value of a. historical event."—Naples dispatch to ihe London News.

Broadway GOING BACK 1000 YEARS Butiapesth's Exposition Will Re veal Strange Relics ARCHITECTURAL DISPLAY Worth Traveling a Loog Distance lo See The Changes In the Social, Partial, Religious onJ Political Ways of the i>.op:e Realistically Represented Correspondence to The Herald. It is not an every day occurence for a nation to have a millennial anniversary xposltion, but that is what the people of TWO OF THE EXHIBITION BUILDINGS Hungary will celebrate at Budapesthon | May next. Just 1000 years ago. in the year s . |! >. the great Prince Arfad founded the country by invading it. What the country was 1000 years ago and what it was at each epoch of its 1 growth and progression during all the centuries up to the present time will be faithfully portrayed. Naturally the ex position will be largely of an historical character, and in this respect it prom ises to be the finest and, most complete thing of its kind that the world has ever seen, as the monarch! of all the Euro pean nations will throw open the doors of their treasure vaults and send to the exhibition the historical relies of the past aims. Thus there will be a concen tration in one small space of the price leap treasures of antiquity which many tourists have made the circle of Europe to see. The exposition will be divided Into two huate departments, one being called ihe historical section and the other the modern times section. The first de scribes itself. In the second will lie I shown tbe moral and Intellectual pro gress of the Hungarian people. The army and navy ami all the other depart ments of the government will exhibit their resources, ar.d the life of the re mote villae-es will be graphically repro duced. All branches of commerce ami industry will make nn exposition of their resources to show the nation's re cent progress, The Austrlans are naturally taking ns much Interest in the exposition as the I Hungarians, as th'- history and progress j of the one are closely allied with the ether, Tho emperor, Francis Josi bh, has taken a lively ii ten si ln the matter, and he will be the chlel exhibitor in the I historical section. Emperor William oi- Germany will also be an extensive ex hibitor, as the reigning Austrian family is descended from Count Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was elected emperor of Germany in l.Tti. There are scores of archdukes ln Aus tria and Hungary, and all of them have arranged to take some part In the ex position. Many of them have had sep arate pavilions erected in the exhibition grounds for the djfrjplay of their treas ures, the most handosme of these struc tures being the pavilion of the Arch duke Joseph. To those interested ln the way tho j warriors of old carried on their war i fare the exposition will have a peculiar interest. Armor and other implements lof warfare used by the brave Magyars who comprised the army of the Invading | Prince Arfad, when he defeated Zva , topluk, king of the Slavs, w ill be shown. 1 at<T on Arfad, whose fame as n war rior made his will the law even outside ; of his own domain, purchased vast ar as of land, the nominal price paid i>e- Ing i even white stallions. All the stal- ItOl s of the world —white, brown, black ' anil of every other color—would not buy hundredth part of that territory to ll will bo graphically shown how the i hardy Northmen of Europe overran Ita ly. Spain, Hungary, Austria and the best of Southern Europe in the middle asres, conrjie. ling principalities, humili ating the nobles, levying tribute right ami left and tearing tiie whole country wide open with the ravages of merce nary warfare. An historical fact of considerable ln terest is that the exposition will be held oh the same ground where a thousand years ago the Magyar parliament met. The sit • is in part of Budapest's park laud and lh-s just cast of the city prop er. The exposition grounds cover an area of 4,-500,000 square feet, and will contain lCli buildings and pavilions, erei t d tit a cost of 10,000,000 ilotins or $4,000,000. Another feature of more than usual note is that the new house Of the Hun garlan parliament will be opened, it has cost 16,000,000 florins ($6,400,000) and taken twelve years to build. Five hun dred new primary and technical schools j in various parts of the country Will be opened, and the "iron Gate," which, like Hell Cute In East river, has always . been a menace to the navigation of the lower Danube, will be dedicated. This enterprise was commenci d by Count ; Szechenyl and finished by Hungarian ' engineering skill and capital. Many of the exposition buildings will be permanent, ulso a grand triumphal arch, which has beer, erected ln the city. On it have been placed statutes of the men who figured prominently in | the affairs of Hungary during the past ten years. Scores of patriotic memori als will be dedicated lit the form of col umns and tablets erected at the seven points In and around the city occupied I by the horsemen of Arfad when he made his great conquering onslaught. The sultan of Turkey has emptied his ] accumulation of relics into the exposi- I tion buildings. Centuries ago his pre decessors on the Ottoman throne had much to do with Influencing the desti nies of Hungary, and everything illus trative of the political, military, social, religious ami private life of the people v. ill be shown. The architectural display promises to lie unique, as it covers a period of years not often attempted by similar exposi tions. It w'U practically be a review of the architecture of the country for 1000 years, showing the hut of the peasant ami the ca. tie of the nobleman In all their cbnng' I from the time of Arfad to the present; Tin- exposition will continue for live mouths, closing on October Ist.
