CANFIELD-Mrs. Fairbrother, editor
Of the Woman's Weekly, says: among
other things which have happened
during the past week or two is the resig

state university. Unfortunately for
the state Federation of Women's Clubs.
if the chancellor moves to Ohio he will
probably be accompanied by his wife.
1t is therefore calamity for us. The
women everywhere were of the opinion
that Mrs. Garfield, on account of her
experience. ability and position. was just
the woman for the presidency of this
new organization. When she finally
concluded to accept the office last
winter there was great rejoicing. A
letter from Mrs. Garfield says, You
cannot imagine how l hate to leave
Nebraska and the honor Of serving the
State Federation The work is Of
course greater than any worker, but
Notwithstanding this factit sometimes
very difficult to relinquish woman
possessing the qualities of Mrs. Garfield.
We can only say the best wishes of the
women all over the state will go with
her wherever her lot be cast We shall
miss her. not soon forget her. and hope
to hear from her occasionally through
the columns of the woman's paper, in
which she has shown great interest.
She is broad minded, cultivated gentle
woman and in the old Buckeye state will
make many friends and find many con-
genial associates. Mrs. Ella w. Peattie,
a woman even better known throughout
Nebraska than Mrs. Garfield, from the
fact that she has resided in the state

Of work. and she brought back glowing
account Of what she saw.
The most important work shown was
the Raphaelli exhibit" she said. This
artist had two hundred and fifty pictures
and they were beautiful and impressive.
He is an impressionist Of the most pro-
nounced type. His pictures are low in
tone, and gray is the predominatirg
color. He says that the idea OF beauty
among the general public is physical
beauty; but his idea OF beauty is char
acter. His paintings show his idea to
perfection. He takes street scenes for
his subject, and such scenes where he
can portray character. Two of his pic
lures that were most characteristic were
street scene in London and one in
Paris. He had succeeded in painting
the Englishman so that he might be
recognized by anyone. He had caught
the indefinahle something that charac-
terizes an Englishman. In the Paris
scene he had made the same success
with the gay Frenchman. This scene
was all light and perfectly Partisan in
its whole aspect.
"The most famous painting he had

Monet had but twenty one pictures, but
they were beautiful. He, too, is an i'm
pressionist, but he is a colorist. His
pictures are brilliant with color. They
were all landscapes with but little life
portrayed. He fairly revels in color.
These two artists are both of them Of
the extreme impressionist school; yet
they are SO different in their work; the
one with scarcely any color and the
other with all the brilliant hues imag
Unable. Yet they are both considered
great artists.

Abbey. a young and newly recognized
artist. He has been wildly known as an

a great deal Of attention. He paints
Shakesperian characters. He had five
pictures on exhibition and they were
much admired.

RETROSPECT

Tho roses were not just so sweet, perhap
As we thought they would surely be,
And the blossoms were not so pearly whit
As Of yore, on the orchard tree;
But the summer has gone, for all Of thu,
And with sad reluctant heart
We stand at rich autumn's open door
And watch its form depart.
Tho skies wero not just so blue, perhaps,
As We hoped they would surely be,
And the waters were rough that washed on
boat,
Instead OF the old calm sea;
But tho summer has gone, for oil OF that,
And tho golden-rod is here;
We can sec the CLEAN OF its golden sheen
In the hand Of the aging year.
The rest was not quite 50 real, perhaps,
As We hoped it might prove to be,
For instead Of leisure came work sometimes
And the days dragged wearily;
But the summer has gone, for all Of that,
Tho holiday time is DER,
And busy hands in the harvest-IelI
Have garnered their golden store.
The summer was not such a dream, perhaps
OF bliss as we thought 'twould be,
And the beautiful things we planned to do
Went amiss, for you and mo;
Yet still It has gone, for all OF that,
And We lift our wistful eyes
To the land where beyond the winter snowf
Another summer lies.
