MARY AND PHILLIP.
A True Story.

My friend Mary had beer studying
art in Paris. She was a young woman
Of great promise. She had the talent
which comes from being brought up
in a library, and having New England
parents and grandparents who had put
by much money, and had tasted of the
goods things of life, principally art and
literature.
Mary loved ancestry, and no wonder,
for her ancestors were people to be low
ed and worth loving. They were in
tensely religious, and the quality re,
appeared in her character and her
work. Her emotions, artistic and 9TH
erwise, ran to religious subjects and
things pertaining to the ethical side OF
humanity
One day Mary and | went down into
the slums. We carried sandwiches and
fruit for a poor family of small boys
and girls which Mary had unearthed
and pledged herself to feed. We also
went to meet Philip, a wonderful lit,
tie Russian Jew who was Mary's ideal
of what the Saviour must have been in
the Temple in his youth. She had spok-
en- Of him SO often that l was eager to
see him. Philip was not at home when
We reached the frightful abode which
he called by hat name. So, at least,
said an urchin who stood in a dark
doorway.
Mary and l climbed the dirty stairs,
stumbling three or four times on the
%splinters and broken boards We n
tered a small room in which eight peoA
pie lived. 1t was dark, dingy and alto
gether unwholesome. In one corner
hung some clean white clothes and a
well-dusted cap. A half-dead woman,
who dragged herself from a reclining
position on the floor to welcome is.
said hat the corner where the clothing
hung was Philips and that ever since
he had been going of on the st. Johns
Guild excursions he had been washing
the baby's raiment and keeping his
own clean at any cost.
We left after a few moments and
went to the wharf where the st. Johns
Guild excursion was leaving that day.

wins in his arms. His head was bare,
the hat was laid I'VE the faces of the
twins. On his back was strapped a big
Dag, and under his arm, squashed so he
could carry it securely, was a bundle
of clothes. Behind him came a mid
dle-aged woman carrying two more
small babies and leading a third, who
mad hold Of her skirt.
The boys face was a dream. 1t was
very white and so thin it seemed but
an ivory veil drawn owe symmetric
bones. The great large eyes cleaned
like fixed stars, and the gold-red hair,
half curly and half waved, swept over
his slender shoulders. Down the plank
he went, stopping to show his mother
how to a k a firm step, and patting
with his bare heel his brothers and sis

Mary. We both went on the excursion,

told his little folks of The Child OF

We spent that day on the Floating
Hospital, and during the afternoon
Philip told us of his visit to the little
Catholic church in the neighborhood
and of the rapture he felt when he gaz.

stately altar. When he was most in,

such as muttons, ETC.. all gaily bedeck-
ed in keeping with the season.
The display gotten up by Mr.. Hunt
will naturally entail considerable ex-
pense. but with the splendid and con.
tinually increasing business the cstab-
lishment a well afford to make a
showing superior to any in the city
cost is but a secondary considera-
ton to the genial proprietor of the
market. He realizes that his patrons
look for him to make a showing at this
festive season Thai cannot be equaled
and Mr.. Hunt proposes to come up to
all expectations.
AS an idea of the big business done
by the Popular market it may be stated
that nearly rs head of beeves are
slaughtered every week for its use
while the number of muttons disposed
OF will probably double that figure.
One thing that Mr.. Hunt prides him
self upon is the fact that none but the
very latest of beeves are slaughtered
at his abbatoir. He buys none but
good grades of cattle and consequently
can give his customers the very best
of meat. Stockmen know the require
nents of the market so far as high
grade beef is concerned and therefore
don't try to sell any but their finest
beeves when they do business with the
Popular The very best of everything
is what Mr.. Hunt is after and that is
the only thing he will allow upon his
counters.

We were delighted at the praise

which acted as a stimulus to Mary's in,

h hours passed rapidly now as the
end of the work appeared in sight. In
leisure moments we built pretty air
castles about the picture and soberIy
discussed how much it should be sold
for and what should be the disposition
of the money. Some should be set aside
for Philips benefit and another portion
would enable Philips family to buy a
little grocery store in some down town
basement or in Mount Vernon or
Stapleton.
One thing. however, disturbed us
somewhat. Philip had lost his joyous
look. When he posed for the model
he no longer smiled, but gazed with a

him a pretty penknife. He smiled, ad-
mired it, and then put it away.
We even got up a party for the bene-
fit of his family and had them all up in
the studio, but the boys mood never
changed.
One day a sort of ecstasy spread ov-
er his face. He grew feverish and slept
longer than usual. Mary asked him if
he felt well and he startled her by an

told him of the mansions far away,
where the wicked cease from troubling

until his eyelids dropped, and Their he
turned his little face from her and
seemed asleep. At twilight | looked at
Philip as he sat by the window and
then at the picture. The difference be,
tween the two had become extraordi-
nary. 1t brought up all old story in my
memory and | said: Mary, do you
remember the Flemish legend of how
the famous artist painted a Madonna
from a peasant woman"
Yes" she replied. He got the wo>
man so interested in Our Lady that she
used to come and sit before it, tell it
all her thoughts and finally starved to
death because she would not leave it."
Perhaps it was more dreadful STILL
l remarked, for | often half believe
that the painter stole the woman's soul
and put it into the canvas"
"Oh, no." responded Mary. He
knew nothing about what she did I'M
til long after she passed away"
AS she spoke she looked at Philip.
He was standing motionles looking at
the canvas. He might have been the
painted figure and the boy in the frame
himself. In fact the latter looked more
real and human than did Philip. Mary
turned softly and with her slender
hand motioned me to go out into the
hall.
Their she Joined me and said: "You
told me that story for what purpose?"

The excursion came to an end, and
there was peacefulness for us both as
we passed through the streets from the
wharf to the Third Avenue Elevated
railway and onward up to Mary's studio
on Fifty-ninth street.

went next day and for many days
afterward. AS the picture progressed
Philip began to wonder why Mary put
him in a queer building in the canvas
and who the solemn-looking strangely
dressed men were around him. The
only men he had known were the mis-,
sion teachers, the doctors, the police,
men and the everyday people of the
New York streets, and the men on the
canvas wore different clothes and look
ed altogether unlike any he had ever
seen or heard of.
He spoke about it inquiringly, and
Mary told him Of the Star of Bethle-
hem, the glories Of the birth of Christ,
and the boy in the Temple who puz,
zled the learned Hebrew doctors.

the studio a half-hour or an hour be,
fore the appointed time. He would
stand or sit in front Of the picture
where his face was the central figure,
and watch the canvas as II the form
upon it were about to move. Sveral
times he muttered something, and once

My Christi"
During the sitting he grew more and
more c%onfiding, and told us piecemeal
the details of his wretched life. 1t was
a pitiful story marked by endless Incl
dents of sorrow and suffering. He
spoke Of the baby's sickness, OF the
death Of a lame and pretty sister, Of
the beatings his mother received from
his father when the latter was under
the influence of liquor, and sometimes,
though rarely, of the Ill treatment he
himself had received, alas, too often.
At these times Mary would catch
from the boy dramatic looks of pathos
or terror, of sympathy or of pain, and
transfer them to her canvas. One day
Philip did not come and Mary asked
me to call at his home. 1 went and
found Philip quite i'll. I sent for a ply
stefan, n Of those good men who con-
secrate their knowledge and ability to

art magazine, the China Decorator.
We notice that our young Vermont
artist, Mr. George T. Collins is very
highly complimented for his work and
that he is said to have a most brilliant
career before him as an artist. Mr..
Collins Is now studying in Germany
and his sketches sent to the China
Decorator are extremely beautiful in
delicacy and grace of design. All am

invaluable. Mr.. Collins has developed
wonderfully during the year of study
in Germany and is rapidly fulfilling
the prophecy that he will be one of the
greatest painters America has yet pro
duced.
