THE AuFF MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED YEARS OLD
TWO FAMOUS ARTISTS PAINTINGS.
From the Philadelphia Connoisseur
The first appearance OF the mum dates from the
END or the sixteenth century. In the Inventory
OF effects left by the widow of Nicolai, we read.
"Item: one velvet mum lined with sable.~ At
Venice we find trace OF the mum toward the end
OF the fifteenth century. Celebrated court ladies
and women of noble birth carried them. The
most celebrated and charming picture in which
mum Is shown Is that exquisite painting by Sir
Joshua Reynolds, entitled ''The Young Girl with a
Num-" which forms part of the fine collection of
the Marquis OF Hartford. Nothing could be more
delicate than than this work The young girl
seems 20 be rather passing across the canvas than
nxed upon 1t, so wonderful is the skill with which
the artist has depicted the walking mOtion-the
Dody inclined little forward, and the head to
is SO fine and fresh in tone SO radianty ORIGINAL
In design, that it would suffice alone to establish
the immortal renown OF Reynolds for into this
WORK the artist has put the QuinteSSence OF woma-
nnes the IDEAL OF the most exquisite English love-
illness, and has rendered it memorable type of
Chilly beauty.
Neither must we pass over the portrait of Mrs
S1ddOns, In the charm OF her Goth year. painted by
Gainsborough In 1884. This picture, exhibited at
lery: This charming lady, clad In light blue and
white striped dress, with buff shawl half falling
from her shoulders, wears large black felt hat
trimmed with feathers zone OF those hats which
have done more toward the vulgartzatfOn OF Gains
borough's renown than ali his studies and mr.
traits. Mrs. SiddOnS is seated holding on her
knee IN her left hand, comfortable muf OF fox or
SIBERIAN squirrel cafeSSng the fur with her RIGHT
aana, as II TO show on the beauty and wilderness
amaster who has, it is but just to remark. the
most beautiful face in the world to portray

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The statement made by a writer on the staff

It was true. After long description OF Sir

conversation he had had with SIR Charles and
this terminated as follows:

The majority OF SIR Charles bikes friends have

odious Vaccinations. The time Is approaching
when they WILL perhaps, be able to Justify that
opinion by proofs. The third Dilke-Crawford trial

Cardinal Gibbons Refuses Dinner Invi.
tatiOnN,

From the Chicago Tribune
Cardinal Gibbons receives numerous invitations
to receptions and dinners given in his honor by
prominent Catholic society ladies, only a few OF
which are accepted. The cardinal is very plain
and very abStemiOuS. He seems to become more
and more attenuated. He never was stout. and
since elevated to the cardnalate has become
thinner than ever. He walks too much to permit
OF his gaining flesh, frequently covering six or
eight miles in an afternoon jaunt. He is said to be
a sufferer from catarrh
