Among New York's fashionable and ultra-exclusive clubs, the St. James stood anacknowledged leader-more men, perhaps, cast an envious eye at its portals, of modestand unassuming taste, as they passed by on Fifth Avenue, than they did at any other clubupon the long list that the city boasts. True, there were more expensive clubs upon whosemembership roll scintillated more stars of New York's social set, but the St. James wasdistinctive. It guaranteed a man, so to speak-that is, it guaranteed a man to be innately agentleman. It required money, it is true, to keep up one's membership, but there weremany members who were not wealthy, as wealth is measured nowadays-there weremany, even, who were pressed sometimes to meet their dues and their house accounts, butthe accounts were invariably promptly paid. No man, once in, could ever afford, or ever hadthe desire, to resign from the St. James Club. Its membership was cosmopolitan; men ofevery walk in life passed in and out of its doors, professional men and business men, physicians, artists, merchants, authors, engineers, each stamped with the "hall mark" of theSt. James, an innate gentleman. To receive a two weeks' out-of-town visitor's card to the St.James was something to speak about, and men from Chicago, St. Louis, or San Franciscospoke of it with a sort of holier-than-thou air to fellow members of their own exclusiveclubs, at home again

A diminutive gas-jet's sickly, yellow flame illuminated the room with poverty-stricken inadequacy; high up on the wall, bordering the ceiling, the moonlight, as though contemptuous of its artificial competitor, streamed in through a small, square window, and laid a white, flickering path to the door across a filthy and disreputable rag of carpet; also, through a rent in the roller shade, which was drawn over a sort of antiquated French window that opened on a level with the floor and in line with the top-light, the moonlight disclosed a narrow and squalid courtyard without. In one corner of the room stood a battered easel, while against the wall near it, and upon the floor, were a number of canvases of different sizes. A cot bed, unmade, its covers dirty and in disorder, occupied the wall space opposite the door. In the centre of the mean and uninviting apartment stood a table, its top littered with odds and ends, amongst which the remains of a meal, dishes and food, fraternised gregariously with a painter's palette, brushes and paint tubes. A chair or two, long since disabled, and a rickety washstand completed the appointments.
