a FINE WORK OF ART.

Pittsburgers Granted Look at a Portrait
of Veronese by Himself
Mr.. Hermann Linde has just received an
old portrait, which is of the highest interest
to the student OF art. 1t is likeness of Paolo
Veronese, painted by himself, at the age of
81 The softness and transparency of the
handling mars in no way the nobility and
strength of character depicted in the feat
ures.
While there are a number of the artists
portraits dating to prior time in existence,
as, for example, the three in the "Feast at
Cana, this is the only one which portrays
him at an advanced age. being painted four
years before his death. An additional point
OF interest is in the circumstances that in
handling, size and execution 1t forms a
'pendaut" 10 the portrait of Tintoretto in

STORY OF a PUN.
A whiskered Chestnut which Was Quoted
by Two Noted Jurisis.

by Two Noted Jarists.
Prof Norton. in an after-dinner
speech: / was spending an evening
with an English justice famed for his
knowledge of the wit of the English
bench and bar. tried TO match his
stories with such shining specimens
as | could think OF from the contribu-
tions OF our American lawyers. reserv-
ing for the last the famous pun OF
Judge Hoar regarding friend OF his
.whon he said. first got on. then got
honor. and then got honest" To my
surprise Justice Willis scarcely smiled
at this sally. Indeed. his manner
rather savored OF offense. "lhat Is
good story" he remarked dryly.
.'but fear must damp your enjoy
ment OF 1t somewhat by telling
you that 1t was borrowed from our side
OF the water. My friend. Sir Fred
erick -. one OF the most gifted of
punsters, as we'll as OF lawyers. said
Justice Wills with some severity.
.'made that pun originally In my hear
ing many years ago." Against this
view protested 30 yaliantly that JUS
tice Willis promised to write TO Sir
Frederick without delay. That gen.
tleman's reply confirmed my own be-
lief. He admitted borrowing the pun
from America His letter was so
charming that sent IL 10 Judge Hoar.

which you were so kind to forward to
me would once have given me great
pleasure, but alasi 1t arrived too late.

How TO Select wisely for style, Quality

How 10 Select wisely for style, Quality
and Price.
zone of the most essential points in
furnishing" remarked careful house
keeper, .'is TO see that you get good
carpets-carpets that will wear we'll
and that will not soon go out OF style.
This, of course, Ia on the supposition
that you do not propose to change your
carpets with every slight change OF
fashion. but may desire 10 practice q
perfectly comfortable economy. Good
wearing quality and good taste do not
necessarily mean that the carpet must
be expensive. In choosing, subdued
oolors--neither extremely light nor
dark--and small patterns are best In the
long run. Then come the curtains,
which are very important, because you
have TO think not only Of interior, but
also of exterior effects. When curtains
and carpets are bought, II your means
are moderate, you can then buy your
furniture slowly, adding 10 1t carefully,
redressing and covering old furniture,
thus economizing as much as you
please"
Tapestries and ingrains seem to be the
bess carpets for people OF moderate
means; and now that all grades Of them
are so beautiful In design and colorings,
the housekeeper of refined taste, though
not wealthy, can easily crafty them in
this direction.
Among curtains, especially among the
richer fabrics. there is a great deal OF
brocade, and the flowers are quite rs apt
To be oyershot as woven into the goods.
Old rose and pink tints are much used
this season, and they combine finely
with grays and browns, In eolors there
is nothing better for wear and a good
general effect than Madras. Ii comes
forth this season as popular as ever, and
some new grades have been added. One
handsome Madras set was silk striped,
with a dash of tinsel. II was very
heavily fringed, which added much TO
its beauty.
Muslin curtains are becoming more
and more popular. Irish point excel,
too, as they have q rich appearance
even when not costly. Among white
curtains Irish point and Nottingham
lace are the most satisfactory, unless one
pays very high priee.-N. Y. Star.
