A Beautiful Picture.

We have made arrangement with
the Publishers of the Demorest's Mag
azine whereby we are able to offer our
readers De LOngpre's water color
study ''Chrysanthemums," at the III
diculously low price of 10 cents per
copy. The picture is 12x2S inches in
size and is printed in twelve colors.
The art publishers both of this coun-
try and Europe vie with each other
every fall in producing elegant color
ed art studies but none of them has
equaled De Longpre's ''Chrysanthe-
NUNS" which every reader of this
paper can now have by cutting out
this slip and sending to us, with his
or her name and address and 10 cents
in postage stamps. None can realize
how beautiful the picture is when
framed until he has seen it.
