THAT expressed once by Mark Twain-that
the painter had invariably made her a
Dutch. French, an English or woman OF
,some other people according to his own
nationality. but not one had ever made
lher what she ,yas-a .Iewess. The ques-

that several painters had given Him q
really Jewish cast OF face, somewhat ideal
ized of coufse: but whythis distinction be-
tween the Christ and the Virgin ! canno;
imagine. 1t is OF course absurd to sup
pose that Mary looked like stout, blonde
Fie.nish woman. but she is SO represented
In several pictures here.
