sale the second time, subscribed hundreds
of thousands of francs, were not to be

Challonier then sent for Mr.. Sutton, OF
the American Art Association, and asked
him to take the picture at his bid OF
$11O, 400. Sutton had advertised his
willingness to give $4,000 to the poor
of Paris if allowed to take the "Ange-
lus" at the figure at which it was bid of
for the Louvre, and his delight knew no
bounds when told of the new turn of af-
fairs. Before he could get to Challonier
with certified cheek high officers of the
Government had induced the auctioncer
to wait until o'clock A. NJ. of July &,
and in the meantime Baron Rothschild
had been induced to give his check for
the entire amount on behalf of the Gov
ernment. Believing he had no further
show to buy the picture, Mr.. Sutton de-
cided to apply to the French Government
for permission to exhibit the picture In
New York next autumn, and, as an In
ducement intended to offer to make over
half the proceeds to Millet's widow, who
is now living in extreme poverty in Bar
bizon. However, the cables announced
that M. Proust had written letter in
which he announced the withdrawal o1
the request of the Chamber of Deputies
for credit for the purchase of the paint
ing. The cable also announced that Mr.
Sutton had secured the famous painting
which will be exhibited in the American

Every night the hotel piazzas are the
centre of life until about half-past ten
O'Clock, when the music ceases and the
mothers and younger children go to bed.
The older children then get chance to
watch the sea from the summer houses
and whisper away as if they had not seen
each other for years. Papa, alas quite
frequently strolls around to study the
habits of that uncomfortable animal, the
tiger.
The nightly display of dress in the ho.
tel parlors at Long Branch is magnificent.
There are more finely formed, beautiful
and exquisitely adorned women here now
than ever before. No wonder the young
men are losing their heads, and the first
crop of engagements is announced. The
average young lady here, while a far
more shapely being than a cheap wood
cut artist design, and as lively maiden
as one would wish to see, is a modest,
well behaved girl in the water and out of
it. The girls love the waves. They

ing masters tell me they learn to swim
easier and better than men.
One of the sights of the Branch during
bathing hours is the ''boss bather," as
the children disrepectfully term her. If
she is not fair and forty, she is certainly
the other thing, for ninety inch belt
could not make both ends meet around
her waist. Every chance she gets to take
q roll in the sea she improves, so that in
all respects she is great bather.
While watching this fleshy nymph of
the sea tumbling about in the water, ]
noticed that several ladies in bathing
wore their diamond earrings. They
said they felt that the jewels were safer
in their ears than anywhere else, but it is
a queer combination, bathing suit and
diamonds.

orc the day grows hot, but the ''passing

features of Long Branch life. The dull

thoroughbreds, the gingling of theil
chains, the glitter of their trappings, the
roll of the carriages, filled with elegantl!
attired women, makes pleasant music a

A few days after, having leisure fol-

Just as soon as the evening falls visit
ors from all along the beach flock to the
West End Hotel to join in the dancing or
to watch the children dance. This is a
pretty sight. The picture of the brill
iantly lighted room with happy little tots
circling about to the music is. familiar
one to any one who has spent an evening
at the Branch. The broad piazza outside
is crowded with onlookers in evening
dress, while proud fathers and mothers
gaze fondly at the merry little ones.
It is on the piazza, while the soft
music floats out from the parlor, that

suit of the season will be many times three.
No such nonsense as lovemaking
bothers the children, who seem never
theless to have the best time at the sea
side. They romp from morning tc
