CHAPTER VII.
VERY QUIET PARTY.

"Do know the Besants, Mark?'
The speaker was Mrs. Burrows, a
matron so young and pretty that one
could see at a glance that the honey
moon had not yet reached its wane.
"Why, of course / do, and if you'd
taken the trouble to read my letters you
would have discovered that l consider
Mrs. Besant the quite too sweetest
thing in the way of widows 1 ever saw
or read about. What the men are
thinking of to let her wear her weeds
so long I'm sure don't know. If l
were man"
(Which, thank goodness, you're not, I"
a manly voice interrupted THE fact
is, Mark, somebody once told Flossie
that there is a strong resemblance be-
tween her and Mrs. 'Besant, and ever
since she's done nothing but rave about
her projections"
"Oh, Harry Burrows, you wicked
story-teller," the little lady flashed in
dignantly. 81 only wish were Ike
Mrs. Besant. Now, Mark, don't pay
any attention to his interruptions do
know this lady very well, and think
her as near perfection as it is possible
for woman to be. She might be little
too old for you-but, don't how-she
doesn't look half her age-and, oh,
wouldn't it be nice, If"
A roar of laughter from her husband
interrupted the current Of her remarks
WELL" he cried, ''if that isn't the
0oldest fight Of feminine imagination !
ever listened tol Why, Mark, Mrs.
Besant is forty, if she is q day, and
much too sensible a woman to encour-
age Irritation with q man younger
than herself, even if you were sprs
with her undenisble charms"

all this suffering aggravated by the
sight of trains rolling by them on which
they ought to have been riding. Some
body's ears at Washington must have
tingled, if the old saw be true, for
curses loud and deep fell from the lips
of the weary men as they dragged their
tired limbs over the endless miles of
road.

THE STATE BUILDINGS.
Two Excellent Specimens Of the
Proposed Headquarters.
HOW ABOUT RHODE ISLAND 2
West virglnia's building Fine Exanf-
pie of Colonial Architecture-Wisc iscon-
sins Less Classic Idea.

The recent advertisement of the
Rhode Island Worlds Fair Commis-
sioners for designs for a State building
TO be erected at Chicago as Rhode
Island headquarters during the &ig
Worlds Fair is little late, but not too
late Some other States have already
awarded their designs, but on the other
hand one State-New York-the great
est of all-has not yet made one step
toward preparing for the fair and seems,
indeed, TO be in state of chronic sulk
about IL.
Some idea of the general nature of a
state building is furnished by the sketches
which we print to-day of the designs ac-
cepted for Wisconsin and West Vir-
ginia.
The latter is drawn by Mr.. Silsbee,
who has adopted "a style representative
of the best work that has been done in
the state. The old colonial type of
houses, so common through the Vir-
ginias, simple in its outlines and digni-
fed in its details, was taken as a study.
The design is not copy of any of
the old mansions, but it en-
bodies the best features of many
of them. The building will be made of
native woods. 1t will be 3S by rs feet, =,
fronting north. Staff and wood will be
used in the exterior covering, which is
intended TO be very elaborate. The in
terror will be executed in the best native
woods and decorated in manner har-
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-10-28

monious with the style of decoration
adopted for the exterior of the building.
The extreme height of the building will
be 40 feet, the first story being II feet
and the second 12 A piazza ID feet
wide sweeps around the entire building,
which will be~lsed exclusively as club
house during the fair. President Chan
cellor and other members of the West
Virginia board are well pleased with the
designs. The building will cost $50, 900.
The WISCONSIN building is of a very
different character. William Waters,
of Oshkosh, is the architect and the
design was awarded recently by the
State Board. Architect Waters strong
point was the great amount of floor space
provided in his building. This is 1900
square feet. The building is to be made
entirely of Wisconsin material and will
cost about $50 900 unless large quantities
of lumber are donated by the dealers of
the state. 1t is to be erected in the cen
ter of the triangular area set apart for
Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
The interior arrangement may by
modified. Ladies parlors. cloak-rooms,
intelligence and post offices and apart
ments for the State Board and other or
ganizations of that State are grouped
about "A lobby 45 by 80 feet. A wide
staircase leads from the lobby to the
second floor, which is to be occupied by
the State historical society. The third
floor is for attendants and employees,
who will sleep on the premises.
1t would seem that for Rhode Island,
as one of the original thirteen States,
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1891-10-28

ings in the city, he would confess that
the few bright and meritorious works
only serve TO relieve the monotonous
lack of real talent shown elsewhere in
the collection.
Yet this is confessedly an anna teur ex-
hibition of paintings and, with the
exception of Nj. Leavitt's, there is no
artists work in this collection known
outside of the State. The question of
criticism is therefore somewhat diff
cult. To judge the exhibit keenly
and impartially may be thought
harsh, and yet art is one of
those subjects in which there is but
little of the middle ground that one can
occupy. The true ideal at which all
should aim is so unattainably high that
those canvasses which show any touches
of real individuality or genius become at
once the objects of well deserved COM
mendation. On the other hand criti-
cism which is not keen and discrimi-
mating is valueless.
EThe paintings presented in this exhibit
are limited to those of eight of the local
artists. The space at the left of the en-
trance is occupied by "A group of eighteen
canvasses, the work of Miss Emma l..
Swan. Tastefully hung they present "a
pleasing appearance and fill the observer
with sense of their charm and beauty.

" In Holland" No. 80, is radically differ
ent. Ii is simple small, truthful
scene painted when Mr.. Kenyon was
abroad and dwelling in the artistic at
mosphere Of Holland and inspired by the
near presence of the work of the worlds
masters and the traditions of the ages.
The real artist is betrayed in the uncon-
scious moments and not in the conscious
ones. In the first work here mentioned
Mr.. Kenyon was too conscious. In the
latter he was unconscious and therefore
perfectly natural.
Hugo Breul's work occupies the entire
north end of the gallery, and comprises
portraits and sketches. eighteen in num-
Der. The centre is occupied by por-
trait of the artists mother, and is per-
haps the most noteworthy of the list. 1t

it lacks strength. Strange it is

objects Immediately before him and
give them an unsubstantial ap-
pearance, then turn TO mass of
airy vapor in the heavens and paint it
with the solidity of rock. As pic
ture it is only fair and Us "A portrait it

truly marvellous. In all these points Mr..
Leavitt is easily just. But there is an

Leave. - lietu 'es eXhib.cel here are not
a true test of his ability. With one ex-
ccption the pictures are old and have
suffered from lack OF care. They date
back to 1880, and it is quite out of the
question TO undertake TO compare the
work of ten years ago with that which
is bright and fresh from the brush
Nevertheless the improvement is easily
traceable In the subjects presented, and
il is surprising how well even his older
pictures compare with some of the best
of the other most modern works.
Next TO Miss Swans work and in the
corner are two pictures of Henry X.
Kenyon's. Mr.. Kenyon would have
perhaps done better had more of his
work been shown. AS it is there is one
good peice and one bad. "Old Ips-
wich No. 10, shows the hard labor upon

over and over until, distances and per-
spective are lost and the effect is IA flat

ART NOTES.


The late Frank Miles is said to have
been the first artist to paint Mrs. Lang
try.
The Boston museum of art owns about
eight thousand prints and has not room
to show them all. OF these 1 900 formed
the collection of Charles Sumner, who
was an enthusiast in regard to them.
An advertisement in Mexican paper
calls attention to a couple of pictures
that are offered for sale and guarantees
them to be fully 200 years old. Strong
inducement.
The Yale College Art School cost q
quarter of million, and is endowed
with $4,000 It's diplomas, conferring
the title of bachelor of fine arts, We're
granted for the first time this year, and
the first student to get one was a woman.
Miss Lewis is therefore a bachelor. OF
course it would be ungenerous to call
her an old maid of arts.
Verestschagin's big and powerful pic
lures of war and of Russian and oriental
life are attracting much notice at the
American art galleries, and their sale
