Miss Clara McChesney, for her capital
picture, "The Old Spinner" secured the Dodge
prize of three hundred dollars. Miss McChes-
ney is from California. She studied, before
coming East, for four or five years in the
San Francisco Art School. Coming to New
York, she continued her studies for three
years in the Gotham Art School. During her
vacations, which to her We're not periods of
leisure, she did much ramblingand sketching
in England, France and Holland. Last year
Miss McChesney exhibited work at the
Worlds Fair, called 'sThe Old Cobbler," for
which she received honorable mention and
medal, and which was sold at a good price to
the Boston Art Club. Miss McChesney has
bright future before her. Her work is virile
in its strength and she is noted for the color
and feeling of her pictures. '
The second and third Hallgarten prizes Of
two hundred and one hundred dollars were
won at the recent Academy exhibition by
Miss Edith Mitchell for her picture of
"Hager," and by Mrs. J. Francis Murphy for
her work, '"That Difficult Word" It should
be said that both these prizes were open to
men as well as to women. wa
Miss Edith Mitchell is a New Yorker by
birth, and for several seasons has had her
works on exhibition at the Academy. She is

without doubt will be heard from again

Mrs. J. Francis Murphy is the wife of J. F.

FROM PAR1s.-My. Paris correspondent
writes me of the bright display of summer
toilets now to be seen at all the Paris picture
exhibitions, flower shows. garden parties,
and on the Bots. I.notice that many of the
most gracefully draped dresses are still the
plain, lamp-shade shaped skirts which are
still generally adopted. I also notice with
pleasure that even in Paris individuality is
beginning to assert itself, and that more lati-
tude than formerly and hence better oppor-
tunities for the display of taste, are conceded
to be in accord with social harmony. For
very thin, transparent fabrics, draperies are
more graceful and may be safely adopted, as
they will certainly continue toibe fashionable
all summer. For silks, fancy woolens and
goods of firmer texture, the abatjour skirt is
much more suitable. This skirt has been
greatly modified since its first introduction.
Quite clinging at the top, it gradually widens
and forms full goget pleats in the lower part.

they have beaten the best English soldiers.
There is great deal of swampy country in
the land of the Dyaks, in Southeastern
Borneo, and these obstacles to travel are
overcome, not by boards or bridges, such as
we have, but by means of ropes swung from
tree to tree, or from bank to bank. The
people cross these slender bridges with a
rapidity and ease that would amaze our
best tight-rope dancers. Women with I'M
concern carry great loads over these ropes,
and they cross them like squirrels, with their
children strapped to their backs. They use
no balancing poles, and even little tots of
children run over these ropes or swing from
them, seemingly as secure as if they were on
the solid earth.
wanted to cross one of these bridges in
order to make journey, but I did not dare
undertake it. There was nothing left for me
but to trust my $50 pounds weight to Dyak

and confidence that ought to have treasured
me, but it did not. closed my eyes and
held my breath, but that man carried me
across on rope a hundred feet in length
and not much thicker than clothesline, and
he would have carried my rifle and baggage

The women are skillful in weaving strong
and firm cloth from the fibres of a native
plant, and though there is no need to burden
themselves with heavy garments, their attire
is becoming and picturesque. The children,
like all the children of these tropic islands,
go nearly naked. but they have great fond
ness for wearing garlands of bright-hued
flowers about their heads, and they often
make most becoming capes Of the same
beautiful but frail materials.

land, but do not think ever met any so

young land Dyaks. They impressed me in
their movements and with their peals of
musical laughter, as being intangible from
