from his home, near Marion, Ind, by IA

Hale-stopped at the residence of a
farmer named Joseph Weikel, living near

,r,ss Ada Bells Phenomenal Success quo
to Her Native shrewdness.
Miss Ada Bell. the flower painter OF
London. has jumped with bound from
obscnrity to fashion. Her fortune IS
made. Not long ago Miss Bell succeeded
in petting an order from the Princess or
wales for "a panel to be placed in a writ
ing desk. The design happily included
the fayorite posey of the princess, ana
when finished was semitic her with tiny
card containing the compliments OF the
artist. Women are rarely as business
like as this. The courtesy and modesty
charmed the princess, and aiter the eA-
change Of letters came an invitation lor
an audience at Marlborough. The young
artist was as pleasing as her flowers
She had her wits about her and her ears
very wide open.
Among other things she learned of the
approaching birthday of the Empress
Frederick, to whom the princess offered
tn nresent her. Miss Bell went home,
locked herself in her sky studio, and dld
not quit her paints until she had hnished
a fan worthy of the royal lady's accept
ance. Two years ago the empress visited
the Children's hospital in Ormond street,
an institution in which the artist IS also
interested. The fan in question con-
tanned miniature sketch recalling a
scene in one of the sick wards, where the
empress stopped to fan the face OF dying
child. The foundation of the fan Is
black lace of violet pattern, with enclr-
cling hearts, and the sticks of green
mother of pearl shade off to pink. In
this delicate background Miss Bell used
pearl tints of mauve, pink and green,
producing an effect as exquisite as the
Vatican paintings. In the center OF the
fan appeared q woodland scene showing
sleeping nymph famed by sporting
cupids that danced among white and
purple violets.
Sprigs of heart's-ease and memory
knots were scattered over the pearl
sticks, the outer or top one containing a
miniature portrait of the late Emperor
Frederick set In heart shaped crystal
This lovely bit of lace, pearl and paint
was sent to the empress, who dispatched
her appreciation of the gift and work
through live count. Just before leav'
ing England the artist was sent for and
appeared at Buckingham palace, wher
the empress attached her autograph to &
picture that Miss Bell exhibited veal
ago in honor Of the queens birthday
