markaple conectlon, whether numbers, size OF
canvas or range Of subject be considered; and
some OF the paintings are simply wonderful
productions. Many Of them are, however, too
large for either private houses or a public gal
iery OF ordinary proportions, and others again
portray such repellent scenes that it can hardly
be expected that the collection as Q whole will
bring sum at oil commensurate with its ar
tistic interest and actual value. With the paint
ings will also be sold the large and valuable
collection OF art objects. armor, bric-a-brac.
textile fabrics, oriental rugs, etc, brought
over by the artist and shown with the pictures
Some Of these are unquestionabIy among the
raresf and finest ever brought into this coun-
Try, and they will very likely command high
prices.
- The art feature Of the week has been the

IL attractive to the public, and in the main cred

toned whether such exhibitions are on the
whole useful 10 the artists themselves or . real
advantage to the cause Of art The danger lies
here: II those who produce It are able to sell,
at the prices marked, such hurried work rs
some Of these exhibits are, is there reason for
Q superstition on the part Of the artist that the
public will be satisfied with that sort of thing,
and 90 be content to stop at that point, instead
of striving for better results in dnished efforts
| Of a more serious character2 In other words,
it may be questioned whether it is a
wise thing, in the long run, for artists to make
| a practice Of putting their sketches in the mar
| ket, however tempting the opportunity to do
| 90 may lie. OF course, those reflections do not
apply to all the pictures shown, for a number
OF them are done with much feeling, and in
some instances the painters have touched a

From the New York Recorder.
A rare piece of presence of mind de-
lighted the passengers on surface
car one rainy night last week. 1t was
exhibited by girl in lace gown
and the very tiniest scrap of hat
that ever called Paris home. No girl
could have owned that hat and not
loved it. That it had a firm hold on
the wearer's affections was proved by
the sequel.
The girl and her escort had evil
IDENTIFY been to the theatre. They
were umbrellaless and apparently on
terms of frank friendship. That a
cab had been declined was learned
from their merry talk. Finally the
young man signaIed the conductor 10
stop, aud turned to his charge.
1--WE will make a run for it. am
sorry for your hat, =" he said.
"Wait h minute" she answered.
She calmly removed the creation OF
silver lace and pink roses from her
head, tucked it under her wrap, re.
placed 1T by her companions hat,
picked up her gown and marched SO.
renely from the car, followed by 8
murmur of admiration from the pas.

Faults or the Walking Skirt.

Faults or the Walking Skirt.
Boston Herald
The most striking feature about the
so-called walking skirt is that 1t is
quite unsuitable for walking. In
windy weather it blows into unbe-
coming shapes andtangles the feet and
ankles. In dry weather 1t gathers to
itself from the ground dust and dirt
of all kinds. In wet weather 1t be-
comes muddy and wet, conveying
mud and dampness to the boots and
other apparel of the wearer, thus
causing colds and serious illness
among persons forced to be out of
doors for any length of time on wet
days, or keeping women indoors who
ought to be out Old business or for eX-
| ercise.
This so-called walking skirt is so
arranged that it is impossible with
one hand gracefully to liIt it clear at
all points of ones boots and the
ground; hence careful souls struggle
between regard for their clothes and
a desire to avoid that undue exposure
of the boot and stocking caused by
holding the skirt on one side too high.
The grabbing of the so called walking
skirt by both sides, though ungrace-
full, is, perhaps, sensible, but it is gen.
orally also impossible, because of the
handles, umbrellas and other impedi.
nents. The so-called walking skirt
is the reverse of economical, requir-
ing on account of its length, constant
repairs or renewal; it Is heavy and hot
in warm weather; 1T is heavy without
being protection from cold, in win.
ter weather-in short, the so.called
walking skirt is ingeniously calcula-
ted to diminish the strength OF the
strong woman, and from the weak to
take away the little strength which
she hath.
Is not this same kind of skirt wor-
| thy of the refOrmer's steel, and now
that women is tree in SO many ways
to choose sensible methods of dress
Ing should not the reformer's atten.
ton be directed especially to the
length of the walking skirt, which
fashion still controls, to the detri-
ment of the health and happiness of
those forced to use it, as we'll as indi-
rectly to the welfare of the human
race. A the reception, dinner party,
afternoon tea, in the ball room, the
carriage, the house, let her who
chooses wear q long. skirted gown
nothing is more graceful or more be-
coming to the generality of women
but for walking, as for all kinds of
open air exercise, tennis, boating, rid
ing. let her also dress appropriately
to the. occasion; and, above all, let
women dress appropriately for exer-
else, enforced or voluntary, in wet
weather. 2
