The possessor of this poster declares
that she prizes 1t among, her richest pos

receive several high offers for the poster
after the exhibition, but no offers what

She has made a number OF posters which
have attracted flattering comment from

rank at least far above the average of the
designs which one sees on the newsstands

among several leading newspaper and mag

Besides being right clever artist she ts a
sociable little body and nothing pleases
her more than to talk 10 callers about her
favorite art.

vances the art is making. she began,
with a bright smile, when the subject of
poster making was broached. mo pub
Usher pretends to do any advertising with
out posters now, and the fashion Is being
adopted also by every branch OF trade"
'Do you agree with those people who re-
fer to poster-making and poster collecting
as rad?" inquired the reporter, cur
1ously.
''Indeed i do not. 1t is too good to be
called a fad. Why, don't you know that
the same general rules of criticism that
apply to any art apply to this? Many
of the pictorial advertisements which are
gotten up you don't look at twice. At
least an artist won't.
People look at u poster and say, %,
that's easy enough to do. Why should an
artist bother himself with making those
thipgs?' They think that because there
are only few simple lines in the picture,
and because there is no play of light and
shade, there is no artistic ability required
in the making OF them. AS matter OF fact,
the art is peculiarly exacting. Because
the lines are few in number it is necessary
that those few should be absolutely correct.
''Well there is a poster" said she,
taking gaudy looking sheet OF paper from
her desk. "You can see at a glance that
1t is eXecrable. The simple lines, which are
all there to suggest the whole effect of
the picture, are drawn In poor curves.
The curves have the effect that is seen in
putty when 1t is woked with the fingers.
IT is AN ART.
"Oh, yes; there is no question about It;
postermaking is an art, and there are en-
ployed in II artists OF the good, poor and
indifferent varieties, just the same as there
are in other branches OF art or Just as

queen. So at least it has seemed to all
except those within a limited circle.
The published reporta regarding the
queens health during several months past
have been OF the most reassuring descrip-
ton. 1t became known when she made
her latest journey to the south of Europe
last year she was well-nigh helpless on
account OF rheumatism or complications of
that disorder. 1t was explained, however
that only the lower extremi ties were
affected, and that she did not suffer
greatly. This disability had long been
chronic, but 1t improved slightly while
she was abroad.
Ever since her return her health in the
ordinary sense of the term has been ex-

the queens medical advisers have for
months past been guarding her physical
well-being with the gravest solicitude.
The public read OF her long daily drives
in an open carriage in all kinds OF weather,
and naturally they infer there can be thing
far wrong with an elderly woman who evil
IDENTIFY thrives upon such exposure. And
yet the fact is 1t is these long, sharp
drives, usually In the teeth of the wind,
that are chiefly relied upon to prolong the
life of the queen. The danger which she
has to fear is not from rheumatism, but
from difficulties of respiration.
For many years the queen has been stout

A fad OF all the fads, more completely alb
eorbing than the craze for coins, for staEips
and for old china combined, is the poster
fad.
The fad is not only more fascinating and
absorbing, but it is more popular In the
sense that it interests a much larger num-
Der of people. The interest in artistic pos
ters is growing every day, and the list of
devotees of this particular branch of 1.-THE
poor mans art' is steadily swelling.
If you refer 10 their art as fad" you
immediately arouse Indignation and pro-
test. This is no fad" they inform you.
''It is too good to be called a fad. 1t is a
great art, and is the object of just the
same critical study as any other kind of
art. "
Whether the present craze for poster
making is to be recognized as legitimate
school of art, or whether it is to be set
down as one OF the passing fancics of this
lin de steele period, only the Judgment of
time is able TO decide. Meantime no one
who reads popular literature in the form of
magazines and daily ynewspapers-nay, who
passes along the streets and turns to look
In store windows by the way, can possibly
doubt the reality of this popular movement
among the lesser artists.
FAVORABLE CRITICISM.
They are not all lesser artists, either.
Some of them made pictures in oil, while
attracted favorable criticism at the exhibi-
tions before they began to make grotesque
drawings in red, yellow and green, TO an
nounce the contents OF the next popular
magazine, or to advertise somebody's bi-
cycles or somebody else's peerless hams and
bacon.

| mercial import To tempt any artist whose
ideals have not utterly transcended all
human considerations in the pursuance of
his art.
A young Washington lady came to a
well-known artist Of the capital the other
day with the announcement OF an important
discovery.
II have found some of the most curious
pictGres,' said she. lit seems 10 me that
they are really artistic, and l have been
wondering if they wouldn't be interesting

She had discovered some of the posters
at a news stand which are used as bulle tins
of the popular magazines. She was of
course, informed by her artist friend That
Indeed, they were artistic" ard that she

discover of their own accord the popular
advertising craze.

graphical Improvement in the style OF dis
played advertisements is somewhat limited
naturally, and picture-making was resorted
to, with the result that nearly every firm
in every branch of business publishes post
ers to sell its goods.
OF course they don't do 1t because they
care rap for art, whether it be orthodox
art or otherwise, art good, bad, or lndiffer-
ent They do 1t because IL is popular and
because 1t is the latest, faddish, up-to-
date method of advertising what they have
to sell.
The great magazines began 1t. It was
for some time only the magazine and book
publishers who used posters--that is, ar
tistic, or at least pictorial, posters-to
advertise their publications.
A little later the bicycle manufacturers
began to decorate their catalogue covers
with the grotesque and horrible. One we'll
known bicycle manufacturer was one Of the
first advertisers to attract serious pub |
lie attention To poster-making. The poster |
in this case represented two cyclists, q |
of either sex, and the cos

outlandishness anything before or since |
dreamed of by carcaturists of the new |
woman. |
