Everybody has heard how the gracious EN-
press Eugene relieved the sore distress of
Lyons silk weavers by making 1t the fashion
to wear quantities of silk. And the same
lovely lady did like service for the lace
workers of Alencon. 1t is unnecessary
quite to call to mind what the Princess of
Wales did for Ireland by bringing its pop
Inns again to the front And certainly
among the heartiest blessings that followed
Princess May and her bridegroom to the
altar were those of the tradesmen, to whom
the royal wedding festivities brought unex-
ampled prosperity. In this roundabout
way they doubtless find royalty worth all
that 1t costs. On the other side IT must be
heavenly sensation to find oneself thus
able at once to do good-the only charity
that does not tend to pauperize its objects
and to indulge ones inclination for the fine
and beautiful things of life. to whose max
ing goes so much of cheerfully patient
labor
Labor Is prayer says the proverb Then
truly does fashion set a many high priests
In the temple of toll. Men dig in the mine
Tor gems, go down to sea I'm ships run hith-
er and yon racking their brains with many
inventions solely to the end that beauty
may go beautifully-and ugliness be chic.
After all the tyrant, Fashion, is d semi
benevolent despot. Like nature, her mighty
law Is change; unlike nature, though her
ways are devious and ofttimes past finding
out.

sell almost exclusively to figures. She
studied Tor two years in Paris at Jullien's
famous academy, and in 1889 a picture Of
hers in the Salon called 'In the Cloister"
attracted much favorable comment. Her
work shows knowledge Of anatomy and her
eolors are laid on with much skill. One
OF her latest pictures Is that OF nude
pillows, which is very effective. The light

represents a girl with auburn hair in a
meadow who tries to catch the floating

absence of unnecessary adornment that 1t

art seriously and is sure to secure a high
place in the ranks OF women artists In
the not far distant future.
Among the younger artists Miss Louise
H. King, now Mrs. Kenyon Cox, has won
perhaps the greatest reputation. She fret

picture entitled THE Lotus Eaters" paint

hibition. and on its return to New York has
travelled to various exhibitions. Mrs Cox
