HARVEST HOME FESTIVALS.
A Permanent Organization That
Means Much for the Women OF

A Permanent Organization That
Means Much for the Women of
ST. Paul.
The preliminary steps were taken,
yesterday morning, in a very interest
ing and certainly praiseworthy under
taking, in the establishment of perma-
nent Harvest Home Festival association.
the fete to be. given annually at the
close of the harvest. The object is viz
tually to broaden the field and scope of
the Women's Educational and Indus
trial Union. and especially i'll its indus
trial bearing. This was fully explained
by Miss S. B. BealS at the meeting at
the chamber of commerce yesterday,
which ID. Z. Noyes called to order. She
explained the festival project at length
1t is hoped to hold this festival yearly,
this year at the end of October, and to
help establish an industrial home for
women, where cooking, housework,
washing and ironing can be taught
well. This will enable the WomanS'
Educational and Industrial union to
enlarge its work on the industrial
side much more effectually than it has
yet been able to do. IL is proposed to
hold the festival for one week. Deli
ciOuS lunches will be served, and the
public generally are asked to come.
Floral exhibits are to decorate the lunch
TO ON, and various railroads are to give
exhibits of their own. Promenade
concerts will be held three
times during the week. and yarI-
Gus entertainments afforded for
every night. The art loan in itself
ought to be an attraction to every one.
for in few cities can be found so much
of intrinsic value. The public will be
kept informed as to how the work
progresses, and it is hoped festival
icreditabie to the great wealth and re-
sources of the city can be inaugurated.
When the object was fully explained,

The Immortal Wertheimer.

While it is certain that ST. Paul has
not an art gallery-a Salon-Strange as
it may seem the city does have a manu-
factory where the costly gold frames
are made for many of the greatest paint
ings ever brought to this country. The
two frames for the Wertheimer paint
ings exhibited here last summer were
made by James F. Angel & Co.. and
now the officers of the art exhibit of the
North Pacific Industrial Exposition. of
Portland. Or, have instructed their
commissioners at New York that Vert
heimer'S Lions OF PersepoliS." en-
ronte to Portland from Paris, shall be
framed by Mr.. Angel. 1t was through
learning of this commission that the
art critic of the GLOBE gained priced
glimpse of this painting-a remarkable
representation of the famed lions of the
dead city.
The moonlightis falling over the mar
BILE walls of once great amphitheater,
where emperorS turned their thumbs
and fair women laughed upon death.
Close to one of these huge piles creep,
like Specters, lion and his mate,
searching vainly fer food. Their eyes
burn deep in the sockets through
want, CLEAN with supernatural light
while their lank, hide-bound bodies,
robbed of majesty, seem to sway
from sheer weakness.
The drawing is firm, suggesting the
hand OF Carolus Duran, and the color
ing-the weird shades of moonlit
nights something delighted in by Ber-
nier.
1t is matter of sincere regret that
st. Paul is not to have this painting,
but we ale authorized by Ii. /. Cleve-
land, the American agent of NJ. Wer-
