would be, perhaps, it's weakest feature,
because OF the fact that art in
America is yet too young to have
produce d many works of great merit
and because the Exposition is to be
held so tar from the great European
stoi ehouses of art treasures that it
Was believed doubtful if any consider
able number of them would be exhib-
tied. So far from this being the case,
however, 1t is now certain that the
art exhibit Will be one OF the most
complete and splendid that visitors to
the Exposition will have the privilege
OF seeing. This is due to several con-
sideralions. European nations, as
We'll as all otherr ARE taking an extra
ordinary interest in the Exposition.
There is commendable rivalry
among those richest in art produc-
tionsin the matter OF making a cred
liable exhibit. They have come to
recognize fully that the United
States is by far the best market in
the world tor the products Of the
painter and the sculptor. Added to
these reasons are the very efficient
efforts of agents of the Fair to enlist
the interest OF foreign nations in the
making OF exhibits in all lines, and
particularly in the art division.
Supplementlng the good work done
in this direction by a number
OF Exposition special commissioners,
Chief Ives of the Fine Arts Depart
ment, has made two trips to European
nations, with the result that from
each one an art exhibit of exceptional
merit is forthcoming.

One thing that she insisted on was
that children should be taught to 'do

me some water. Pour it on my head
and face. Cold water, girls, not hot

I'm sure that if the unexpected
