A we'll known artist tells story Of "fore-

boarded with woman whose husband
was u detective. The detective told them
from time to time stories about interesting
experiences which ho had had, and ex-
planned the methods Of carrying on "bunco
games" There are few new "bunco
lodges" Nearly all OF them are variations
of one or two stock schemes.
Among other things which the detect
ives told u.s. said Mr.. LIZ giving the

Place them in Il steamer over cold water,

Miss Marie Guise is IN American girl in
spite of her French name. She has stu
dio at the Holbein, but is more often to be
found painting at the Dalham and other
stables. Horses and dogs are her delight,
and she paints them probably as well as
any one on this side of the water.
Miss Guise studied for three years at
Ecoucn under Schenk. "Plowing at Eco
uen" and "Haying Time" large canvases
exhibited at the Salon and at the Universal
about this time, attracted favorable notice.
Miss Guise udmires Rosa Bonhcur, and
paints in very much the samcstrong. .vigor-
GUS manner which distinguishes that cele-
brated artist. Hcr canvases are generally
large, and the subjects almost entirely
animals. Peasants and hay fields she loves,
the latter giving opportunity for the floods
of sunshine she knows we'll how to depict
A very fine Percheron horse was repro
duced in The Art Interchange some time
ago, and Miss Guise's favorite, "Vic,"
very cross little dog, will have his portrait
in the same magazine early next year.

ing there for three years. She paints
charmingly in water colors and pastel, and
her pictures are growing rapidly in popu-
lar favor. Miss McChesney Is q charter
member as we'll as one OF tho jury Of tho
New York Water Color society, and had
number of good things at the recent ex-
hibition. The "Old Woman Knitting" was
sold before it was hung; that and the
"1end of mn Old Man" have been admired
more, perhaps, than anything that her
clever brush has produced "a Study Of an
Old Woman's Head. at Keppels. is paint

Miss Louise Fl. King is also native of
San Francisco, although her home since
her childhood has been in New York. At
the Art Students league, which has sent
out so many of our younger artists, Miss
King was favorite pupil of Kenyon Cox.
Much of his strong draughtsmanship and
simplicity of design are visible in her
work. After leaving the league Miss King
devoted some time to study in the Berlin
Gallery and in the London National. where

One can hardly help contrasting the
marked difference between the condition
Of Germany and the condition of France at
the present time. In spite OF the disastrous
war which temporarily humbled her, and
i'll spite of the enormous tribute which She
was compelled to pay To Germany, France
is now one of the wcalthiest and most pros
porous Of nations. Her army is numerically
stronger than that Of Germany and the
most active vigilance is displayed in keep
ing the arlny and the country on Il war
footing. On the other hand, Germany is
hard up for money and her army is griev-
Gus burden aud strain upon the people
Germany does not want war and she is
fearful that it will come France is deter
mined that there shall be war, but she is
not going into it until she is morally con-
ident of paying off the old score with COM

The Charm of Gen. BOOTHS Book.

One charm of Gen. Booths recently pub
lished book, "In Darkest England" is the
frankness with which he treats of all other
schemes of rcform-Christian socialism,
land nationalisrl and the like. He has a
good word for all of them and one criti.
cism-they look to distant future. He
frankly confesscs that he cannot work that
way--he wants to help those who are in
misery NOW, no matter whether it is their
fault or not. And, another unusual pro-
cecding for his class, he fatty declares that
In a majority of cases the misery is largely
the fault of the miserable Hencc-and
this is the strong element in his book--we
must attack the evil physically and spirit
ua1ly at tho same time. All schemes work
ing on one side only Of mans nature will
fail as all such have failed.
