come and go, and with them the popu-
lar tastes. Some leave their traces in
the development of particular faculty
characteristic of the girls, others attack
their appettes and desires like a pass
ing wind, which fingers long enough to
arouse and aggfavate their sensibility,
in the end only to leave wreck of dis
gust. But there are many spontaneous
incentives that come putting along in
the wind of current thought and in
diligence, tending to do some good, add
another accomplishment to the many
charms our girls already possess or aft
ford a pleasure in which the fair Sentl-
mentS of woman can be brought to bear
directly upon the productions OF their
deft hands. NeedlewOrk, music and
and influence, and are occupations in
which the adopts can proftably donate
many hours at their leisure.
But how about art? How delightfully."-
consoling it is to young lady who has
Just finished a beautiful landscape to
have some friend call, and, noticing the
newly added decoration in the pariOr,
ask. ''Who did that?'' and be able to
stutter out the answer, 81 did," Again,
what great satisfaction it is to young
lady who enjoys all outing on a bright

air waited over wood and meadow, and
viewing magnificent scene, to realize
that it can be taken away within a
pocket, to lie resurrected on a cold and
winters night at the fireside, and enjoy
the pleasant memories and recOllectiOnS
of that well-spent day.
Young ladies as a rule possess the
faculty of learning to draw without
much torture, dealing in straight lines,
and the usual exercises beginners have
to go through. Some attain high de-
gree Of proficiency in very short time.
tt; hauds are naturally deft and
til conception of form, light and
shade and the minor parts in drawing
arc, in many cases, Accomplishments to
that innate artistic spirit which so
many possess, but who are uncon-
Scious of it. Who is there of the
Woman's kingdom who does not see
beauty and effect in col0rs? After tedi-
Gus lessons Of cone, square and CUBES to
be able to draw figures and master per-
Spective sufficiently to be able to draw
objects miles away or in the foreground
of their work. it becomes supreme de-
light to depict ideas on canvas. A
decorated plaque or screen which are
useful and attractive, and many other
little hobbies of the parlor OF drawing
room can be decorated in more ways
than can be readily imagined. When
such degree of proficiency is attained,
and it is almost within the reach of
every young lady with
AN EYE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL,
there is nothing over which she can
rave so much as the pure and higher
type of art. She can deal with nature
and not feel the guilt of a slight of its
charms, if she treats it in her studies
with a view to its trathful interpreta-
ton. How different from those who
stumble blindly along its path, ignoring
and disregarding that which is true and
beautiful, and which no master dare
attempt to excel lest he should en-
croach upon Him whose work is simple
perfection not to be embellished by
man?
The passion over art took possession
Of the young ladies about two years ago.
and while some have attained prof.
cheney and skill which entitle them to
be classed with the lady artists of the
city, they have all arrived at useful
degree of perfection for many and
varied applications of their pallettes
and brushes in the several depart
ments of their homes. Although
women as rule never be-
come such great artists as men,
they generally arrive at the maximum
man does. Men, however, devote
greater thought, deeper study and rea-
soning, combining in their compositions
that innate spirit and consistency Of de-
tail, light, Shade and effect which
characterize their work as bolder
stronger, and therefore more vivid and
animated portrayalS of scenes and Ob-
jects. But the zeal with which some of
the young ladies of this city have ap-
piled themselves is gratifying to those
who are fortunate enough to enjoy their
productions and the energy and vim
with which they work under the in
struction of tutors throughout the city.
In making the rounds of the homes of
some of the young ladies who have put
their skill to pleasure and profit, it was
the perseverance taught by the artists
under whom they studied.
