ness. 40 look down, ana IN q most oD-
jectionable way. It is one of the faults
of new country, of the power of mon
ey, Of wealth acquired suddenly. These
things 60 to the head. The servant finds
that American girls would make shirts
at starvation prices or do anything else
most terrible and hard rather than serve
in house to a mistress. The mistress is
dogmatic, overbearing often-at any
rate unsympathetic--and servant is
too often made to feel that she is serv-
ant indeed, something to be used, but
not understood; something that must
sometimes, and very inconveniently, be
ill, something that speaks and sees and
walks like her mistress, and yet is SO
far removed from her that kind word
would seem like lapse Of that dignity
she cherishes SO rigidly because it is SO
insecure.
1t will be we'll, too, when our over
worked, underpaid, sickIy factory girls
will come to see that there is real free
dom and health in working in good
home for mistress who is, in a sense,
friend; but the mistress must change

full in figure, with face of rare poetic
interest, surmounted by superb coils Of
dark auburn hair. she seems almost too
frail to have accomplished all that is
ascribed to her. Yet her walls attest her
success as all artist, and several books as
we'll as innunerable short stories bear
her signature.
AS young girl Mrs. Chandler was
graduated from the Syracuse College OF
Fine Arts, and for a time occupied the
chair Of drawing and water color Later
she went abroad to study and perfect
her art, and while there enjoyed rare
privileges and achieved unusual results
The usual students s course did not seem
to her enough, and she studied faith
fully in the galleries of Berlin and
Munich, besides arranging for private
daily lectures. During this period she
also made copies from the great masters
and was accorded the rare privilege of
reproducing Raphael Madonna of the
Scroll and Murillo's ''St. Anthony
and the Christ Child in the exact size
of the originals
Portraiture, however, has come to be
Mrs. Chandler's special forte, and her
atelier holds from time to time all vari-
ations from a life sized canvas to min
iature. At the present time portrait of
her brother, the Rev. Karl Schwartz,
assistant rector of Zion and st. Tim
othy's church, New York, occupies the
place Of honor, being her latest com
pleted work.
But let the demands of the artist be
what they may, the authors work is
never left undone. just now there is a
novel in press, and in contemplation a
deeper work of religious order, while
History of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, ? 'Anthe" and tThree of U.s.
have already been published.
But it is in her love for dogs and other
animals and her happy way of present
ing them to the little folk that Mrs.
Chandler is best known to the reading
world. Herself an enthusiastic believer
in the future life for brute orders as well
as for man, she treats of the dumb crea-
lures in way 10 win every child S heart.

He has made it rule that for all alb

him for not stating in his letter where

TWO Horses.

The editor of the New York Chris
tian Advocate learned not long since
from coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding in a friends carriage one day,
we noticed that the coachman made con-
stant efforts to restrain one of the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said, What is the difference
between these horses, that you are con-
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?''
Said he: 1.-THE one that whip cam
not possibly overwork himself. l will
not say that he is lazy, but he is SO
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage 1t would be
impossible to whip him SO hard that he
would hurt himself The other can trot
a mile in less than 2:25, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop
ped dead Hot or cold, he does his best .

Sketch of Mrs. L. G. Chandler, Who Wrote
and Illustrated ssThree of U.s."
In spite of all the talk and discussion
over the so called new woman, one is
continually meeting fresh evidence of
the fact that many women who accom-
plish most are farthest removed from
this same element and are the least ag-
gressive of their sex. Mrs. Izora G.
Chandler, who combines rare skill of
the brush with genuine literary talent
and who is withal womanly in the tru-
est, highest sense, is in herself one more
proof of the fact. Although she claims
with pride a son who is already winning
fame in the medical world, her appear
ance is that of woman too young to
make such claim good Slight and grace

Cant Regarding stage Setting.


We hear great deal of cant talked
by those who insist that the ideal stage
setting should be a green baize, whose
decoration should consist of placards in
scribed, "This is street, +" "This is a
house, . s'This is heaven - In all this
there seems to me something of affecta-
tion. IF Shakespeare poetry could be
better or more reverently illustrated by
such means, l would say, Take away
those baubles of scenery, of costume and
of archaeological accessories. It was all
very well for David Garrick to appear
in powdered tie wig, Georgian coat
and silk stockings when he was imper-
sonating the Thane of Cawdor, but he
created the effect (which undoubtedly
he did create) not by virtue Of the in
correctness of his costume, but in spite
of it. The greater knowledge of historic
al periods possessed by our theater goers
Of today, the increased sense of humor,
the demand for luxury, require general
and detailed illusion in the appoint
ments of the stage, and to deny it to
theater goers is to be affectedly superior
to ones age and belated in the move
ments of the time Every artist uses the
material which his generation places at
his disposal. If the painter lacked paint
and canvas, he would content himself
with the fiagstone and piece of chalk;
If the musician lacked a Stradivarius,
he would still be returning to the old
tooth comb. But why complain of the
canvas, and the paint, and the Stradi-
varius? The increase of picturesqueness
in all the arts, the complete revolution
in taste as regards house decoration, the
greater cultivation of the eye-al1 these
have tended to what has been contemp-
tuously called the millinery of ths
drama -Beerbohm Tree in North Amer
ican Review.
