Among those who have made illum!

can be said by q course Of winter study
10 have acquired this accomplishment
This clevar artist was born Of lrisn
:oarents in Manchester, England. Her
father, John Intaglio Dunlevy, was an
inventor as we'll as printer, while his
wife, brilliant conversationalist and
Inc singer, was the granddaughter Of
Thomas Hughes, who invented the spin
ming jenny
This young couple, steering their
course toward America, brought with
them their daughter Alice, who, like
her father, had a decided taste for the
art of illuminating. No sooner here
than this small child spent all her time
and pocket money in haunting the
secondhand book stores, searching ful
information in the work she loved SO
we'll. Being such a tiny little creature,
ono bookseller had q box fitted up ,es-
pecially for her, SO by that means she
could reach and handle the volumes
herself There she spent hours, gener-
ally finding some book which she car
ried AWAY in triumph. s@8s
When only IS, she was admitted into
the School Of Design Of the Cooper in
stitute, through the influence Of Horace
Greeley, who, securing 9 water color
painting Of flowers done by this art
student, often resolved to put forth the
helping hand in her behalf. u
In this school she made her mark,
graduating with honors and afterward
taking her place as the youngest teach
or in the same institute. As Peter Coo.
per never remembered names, he always
designated Miss Dunlevy as "that lit
tie girl" either In addressing her or
asking her assistance in school hours.
At special reception given by Mr.:
Cooper for the benefit of the pupils Mr..
Bancroft, the historian, was present, and
90 pleased was he with the exhibit done
by "that little girl" that he urged her
to make illumination her greatest effort.
Said this wise man: Women are really
the only leisure class in this country,
and there is no better way to raise the
standard of refinement or cultivate q
taste for letters than by this special art

have had to support themselves as best
