ter they can work independently.
Miss Howells has her studio In the
very heart of the art students colony
The COLONY" Is that section OF the
city extending across the whole width
OF Central Park and down town as far
as Fiftieth street. The Art League Is In
the center and the students group
around 1t. 1t Is the Latin quarter OF
New York.
Miss Howells has a studio In her
fathers apartments facing Central
Park. She works daily with her brush
es, for art is her profession. as litera-
ture Is her fathers. Miss Howells,
after long course OF study in Paris.
Rome and London, began by illustrate
ing her fathers poems. Her tail-picces
attracted attention, and the cleverness
with which she caught the conception
of the work made friends for her with
writer's. All artists cannot get the
''tone" of the work they illustrate, even
while they draw well. Miss Howells'
work appears regularly In the highest
class magazines and she has settled
down to the profession of regular illus
trative work.
Another of the girl artists Of New
York is allegro Eggleston. daughter of
Edward Eggleston. Miss Eggleston."
said an officer of the Art League,
Ought not to be called a student now,
though she still studies. She is pre-
fessional.'
Her speciality is children's faces.
These she does with much delicacy,
making them young, sweet and dim
pied. She was the first artist who ever
had the courage to put pug nose upon
a child's face, though all childrens
noses are pug. Besides drawing in line
work, which is Miss Eggleston's spe-
cialty, she carves exquisitely. When
she was a little girl she carved an
idol" out of rotten piece of wood.
Her father saw II and was impressed
with the correctness of the lines, for
the child had exactly copied an idol in
the Metropolitan museum, and he told
her to keep on. At ten her instruction
in art began.
George Cables daughter Is another Of
the daughters Of literary fathers who
have worked successfully with the
brush. Though married now, this
young woman is girl artist" en-
bellishing her fathers writings and
successfully contributing to the maya
zines. Her best work is in the charac-
ter sketches which her father describes
so graphically. She says she "sees
them while he reads"
The peculiarly quiet, studlous dispo-
sition of professional men pervades,
with the touch of heredity, the minds
Of the daughters. Daughters OF law
yers. clergymen and the girls Of army
officers turn to art and want to study
1t. They do not ask for reserved seats
in the art classes, but are content to
fall in line with the rest and wait for
talent to bring them forward.
One of these girls who took a course
at the Art League, working hard at the
the cubes and fruit pieces. then at the
figure casts. was Elsie Clews. daughter
Of Henry Ciews, the banker. Miss
Clews' best work lay in her outdoor
sketches. Her desire was to paint land
scape, and she did II so well that the |
students crowded around her easel. as
they will around anything good, and |
freely admired. Art students are pecu-
liar in one respect. They are appar-
emily untutored to worldliness, and
neglect to the point of scorn a student
who shows no ability for art.
