and she has this year received one of the
three honorable mentions awarded to wo-
men in the section of sculpture, also hon
orable mention at the recent International
Exhibition. She must surely be in her
"proper sphere" else such remarkable sue
cess could hardly have been achieved by a
girl yet in her teens.
Miss Louise 81. King of San Francisco
began her art studies in New York at the
age of sixteen. Five years later her pic
ture ss'The Lotos Eaters" was hung at the
Academy and afterward at the Paris Exposi-
ton. Another fine painting is "Orpheus
and Eurydicen which was hung at the re-
ception given E. A. Abbey by the Art
Students league. Miss King does all her
work directly from life, and while she has
attained marked success in portrait paint
inc. her specially is that of mural decora-
ton, her work being distinguished for the
life and action of the figures, its subdued
coloring and excellence of finish, and it re-
ceives not only the highest commendation,
but finds ready purchasers. As Miss King
is but twenty-four years of age there seems
to lie before her only long and tri-
umphant progress toward the highest at
tainment in art.
PERTAINING TO THE WORLDS FAIR
The Queen Isabella association of Chi
cludes constituency from half the states.
The international pavilion, or club house,
which it proposes to erect for the use of
E.association members who visit the worlds
fair, and where the interests of women In
art, science, industry and reform will be
represented, is being planned by Miss Far
ker, an architect of Philadelphia. In this
building is to be placed the life-size statue
of Isabella of CASTLE upon which Harriet
Hosmer is now at work; and Miss Z. A
Starr, gifted artist of Chicago, is en-
gagged in writing history of the patroness
of Columbus, which will be dedicated to
the association.
The national committee of the Worlds
fair recently voted to have on the woman's
board of managers two women from each
state and territory with alternates, with
nine members at large appointed from
Chicago. The Woman's auxiliary, which
worked to secure the location of the fair
at Chicago, asks to have these nine ap-
| pointed from that body, while the Queen
Isabella association desires the election of
its three leading officers. The question at
issue between these two societies, which
does not take the form of a dispute, con-
Germs the exhibit of women's work, the
auxiliary favoring separate department,
while the association AYERS that the varie-
| ty, excellence and thoroughness of wo-
mems work can be tested satisfactorily
only when placed side by side with that of
their brothers who are working in the
same lines.
WOMEN TO THE FORE.
"Whatsoevert thy hand fndeth to do-do
it with all thy might" must be the motto
of the thousands of New York business
women who are independent and self-sup-
porting. Three hundred and twenty are
grocers; there are number of harness
makers; the best paying horse-shoeing
shop in the city is managed by the daugh-
| ter of the man who established the bust
ness; there are undartakers and uphol-
| sterers, druggists, printers, expressmen,
| jewelers., photographers, plumbers and
roofers; they manufacture screws,
| Saratoga chips, pickles, porous plasters,
| pills, casts, sausages and umbrellas. They
manage restaurants, laundries and livery
stables-in short, there is mighty army
of them with a remarkably varied list of
| trades and occupations, which does not in
clude the great number of professional
women and specialists.
The fact that most of these women are
widows with families speaks well for their
ability and the energy and courage that has
| led them to do with will the thing near
est at hand, conquering discouragement
and winning their way to comfort OF
| to wealth.
