society's Laws May BE severe, But They
Are Advisable.

Are Advisable.
You think the laws OF society are Sc
we're. You do not believe that conven-
tionality is a great sword held up. not
to strike you, but to protect you, and
you shrug your pretty shoulders and say:
81 know l was doing nothing wrong,
and don't care what people say" Now,
my dear, you must care what people
say; the world is great Judgment
court. and usually the innocent and
the ignorant are protected by it, though.
occasionally, some one falling into the
mire of scandal and gossip is brought
into the court all bedraggled and dis
figured, and the judge. not being able
to see the virtue that is underneath,
decides against the victim, and all be-
cause she did not care what the world
said wish you would think even of the
most innocent things
Sometimes / fear you think / am a
little bit severe. but have known so
many girls who we're so thoughtless,
yet so good, and who only found pro
lection in the sword Of conventionaiity.
1t may hang over your head. as did that
of Damocles, but 1t is as q warning.
It will protect you from evil speaking.
from the making of injudicious friends.
and it will insure you much more pleas

the best mother, frowning at and for
bidding not only that which is, but also
that which looks wrong. Ash

homestead of ancient architectural de-
sign, surrounded by pretty walks and
drives, lakes and summer-houses-
At the time Of our story the owner OF
this magnificent estate was the Mr..
Wellington alluded to, one OF the
wealthiest and most prominent men In
the vicinity OF Gotham. He had accu-
mulated several million dollars by fort
unaue speculations and had retired from
the business world. He was an old man.

outspoken and strong.willed- When
Mr.. Wellington announced his intention
TO pursue certain course no power or
influence ever caused him to alter his
decision. Any attempt TO argue with
him threw him into violent passion.
But Mr.. Wellington was not without
redeeming traits. He was kind and low

BILE to the poor assured that the objects
of his generosity were worthy.
The Wellington family consisted of
the father. son and daughter. The

full girl OF twenty-four years, tall and
we'll developed, graceful and dignifed.
Her mother had been dead nearly ten
years, and Henrietta's girlhood had
been spent in boarding-school and col
lege.
The Wellington home was never
thrown open to society, but it was none
the less happy and cheerful. A maiden
sister OF Mr.. Wellington had the entire
management of the house, while Hen
rietts had only to perform the pleasant
task of dispensing charity to the poor
Of the city. This she did conscien-
tiously, and was familiar figure about
the hospitals and wherever want was
known.
Among Henrietta's earliest acquaint-
ances was Hubert Mills, handsome
young man OF excellent habits and rep
utation. He was bright and we'll edu-
Gated, and held a trusted clerical po-
sition in the Offices of a railway.
Hubert Mills and Henrietta Wellington
had loved one another dearly for sew
eral years, but as he was poor clerk,
with only his salary to live on, the
great difference in their positions had
caused Mr.. Wellington to refuse his
sanction to their marriage.
'No penniless clerk need ever hope
to become a member of my family"
said the millionaire, sternly. II like
you, Mr. Mills, and have no doubt you
are worthy of my daughter and love
her dearly; but there is difference in

ART AND The ARTISTS.
What the Painter Of the AngeIus
Thought Of Raphael.
HIS GREAT POWER OF DESIGN.
IL Is Seen In the Drawings He Made for
His Pictures-The Christmas Numbers
of the Magazines.

To realize fully his power Of design we
must study the drawings he made for
his pictures. In the academical qualities
Of drawing he has never had an equal,
and the fertility and rapidity Of his in
vention are shown by the enormous num-
Der of works he has left. These gifts
make him the great master for serious
students of painting in its larger field
that of expression of the artists thought
and have heard the greatest of mod
ern idealists, Jean Francois Millet, talk
by the hour with the highest enthusiasm
on portfolio of Raphael drawings as the
ne plus ultra of design in its best sense.
For the modern type OF painter the man
who regards his function to be that of n
mirror to nature or who considers nature
his mistress rather than his purveyor
and his brush work more important than
his conception, Raphael is no model, and
for such he has no lesson. The tendency
of all modern painting is more and more
to these characteristics. so that he who
will understand the Urbinate in all his
breadth must turn his back on all the
modern schools--if there be anything
now which deserves the name of school
and build his judgments on standard
found in a range of work from Masaccio
to Michelangelo. By this standard
Raphael must be given, if not the SUI
preme rank which his contemporaries
give him, at least a place in the front
rank among the half dozen who have en-
dowed art with higher nobility, and
among them all he stands first for the
sense of beauty and next to Michelangelo
for refinement; first as academician and
composer and side by side with Giotto
for fertility of invention. This is enough
of honor.-W. j. Stillman, in the Cen
tury.

of sixty canvases, mostly sketches and

course of study and observation in

manifest, but his color is hardly as bril-
liant and his working out hardly as
clear as the subject would seem to JUS

The speaker began with birdseye view
