"
sixteen Years of Age.
The award of the bronze medal OF the
Royal Drawing society Of London this year
Is a matter of enthusiastic interest to young
art students all over the world, nasmuc
as it was won by a young woman only 10
years of age, Miss Nellie Kuck.
Since the earliest Inauguration OF Offer
ing prizes for the best work along any given
artistic line, artists of undoubted genius
from Canova and Thorwaldsen have entered
into eager competition for the advantages
which such badges of distinction carry III
their train; for where they do not include

tons. az they so often do, they . ing to

and It ought to serve as a stimulus TO the
youngest art student in Philadelphia, Bos-
ton. New York; r Denver, that youth is no
bar sinister to such honorg.
The drawing which obtained for Miss Kuck
so distinguished a success is entitled THE
Young st. Cecilia" n chaTmingly composed
decorative panel, chiefly interesting by rea-
son of its original and novel manner Of treat
ment. Perhaps 1t was her own sweet youth
in the blood that lead her imagination away
from the traditionally mature Cecilia, ana
made it dwell rather upon tho heavily maid

youthful consciousness, with a rev clever

THE VALETS STORY.
The valet had shrunk into the dark corner
OF the room. and had remained so notion
less that we had forgotten his presence, until
upon this appeal from his former master he
took a step forward into the light. turning
his sallow face in our direction, His usually
impassive features were in a state Of painful
agitation, and he spoke slowly and with
hesitation. as though his trembling lips
could hardly frame the words. And yet, so
strong is habit, that even in this extremity
Of emotion he assumed the deferential air
OF tho high class valet, and his sentences
formed themselves in the sonOrous fashion
which had struck my attention upon that
first day when the %currlcle Of my uncle had
stopped outside nay fathers door.

ROYAL ART STUDIO.
A Notable Addition to Picture Maxi
ing In This City.

Next Tuesday ana Wednesday have
been set down as opening Gays OF the
Royal Art Studio at 103 Westminster
street. The occasion will mark one of
the most notable acquisitions in the an
mails OF photogre phic nstitutions in this
city, exhibiting, as IL Will, the most COM
plete aud attractive studio 10 be found
in New England. The establishment
comprises handsome suite, equipped
with the most improved apparatus and
accessories for Photographic ana portrait
work, which have been handsomely deco
rated and furnished throughout with the
express intention of catering to those
VINO desire the best. The proprie-
tor, Mr.. L. III. Bellin, Is we'll known to
Providence and Rhode Island patrons, be-
ing already located at 23l Westminster
street, where for more than three years ho
has given the utmost satisfaction whether
for photos, creyons, pastels or water col
or portraits. In fact, so great has been
the demand for his products that his
present quarters have beon found to be
too small, hence the determination TO
run two establishments, instead OF one.
The new rooms will be remembered as
those formerly occupied by Horton
Brothers. The reception room is two
flights up, but they are short, easy lights
to ascend.
On each OF the opening DAYS, from 10
a. m. to II n,., and from 3 to 5 p. M,
there will be charming concerts in which
the participants will be Nine. Faucher,
the renowned 7 ianist, Mons. Henri j.
Faucher and Master Willie Faucher, who
is only years old, violinists. Each lady
attending on either day will receive
numbered ticket and coupon and the
lady receiving the winning number at the
drawing which will follow will be eniitl-
