The Romance of Ruskin and NtiIuis

From the Troy Times.
"A romance of real life is recalled to the
public mind by the announcement of the
serious Illness in London of Lady Millais,
widow of Sir John Millais, the famous
painter and former president of the ROYAL
Academy. Curiously enough Lady Millais
is suffering from cancer of the throat, the
same disease which caused the death of
her husband August IL, 1896. Sir John E.
Millais married his wife in 1850 She was
divorced from John Ruskin the year be-
fore, and her former husband stood by in
the church while she became the spouse of
the celebrated painter. Euphemia ChaI-
mers Gray, as she was known in her youth,
was still in her teens when she met the au-
thor of 1.-The Stones of Venice" Their love
seemed to be reciprocal. but it did not prove
to be enduring. Ruskin met Milais soon
after the latter exhibited his "Pizarro Seiz-
Ing the 1ncas" at the academy in 1916
They were drawn together by common
sympathies, and Milais was invited to
Brentwood to paint the portrait of Mrs.
Ruskin. The famous picture of THE HUI
guenot Lovers" executed by Millais in
1853. was the result of this visit Millais
at the time was a man of superb physique
broad shouldered, deep chested and of great
strength. He fell in love with Mrs, Rus
kin, and she did with him Ruskin was
fully aware of the passing of his wife's af-
fections. He did not blame her, but he Sc
cured a divorce. 1t is said that most of
his sorrow in later life was the result of
this disappointment. Seven years ago he
became violently insane, and from time to

From the Liverpool Mercury.
A mute who is able to speak has shown
himself at Cremeaux, in the arrondisse-
ment of Roane, on the Loire, to the great
establishment Of his neighbors. He Is
twenty-five years of age, and, owing to an
illness, has been mute since his second
year, but recovered his speech by an acci-
dent a few weeks ago. The young man.
whose name is Gaudard, was trying in vain
to make his sister understand that he
wanted smoke, and suddenly exclaimed,
'tabac!' Since then he has spoken regu-
larly. Gaudard, it seems. was only mute.
not a deaf-mute, and had been at school,
though he could not respond to any ques-
lions put to-him. His mutism was probably
the result of partial paralysis, which dis
appeared with age.

the picture being full of action and marked

Parker Mann also contributes nota bic
works in pastel, his subjects being chosen
frcm the scenery around his summer home
in Gloucester. His largest and most i'm

feet of distance is finely worked out, and
there are many fine qualities 1T the sky
tho ugh it hardly comes up to the effect in

fibits. In this the beautiful greenish hue
of the sky is carried out throughout the

medium is rather limited. but his long
experience in Oil painting stands him in
gcod stead, and he arrives at his effects
With almost the same directness in oil.

fective sheep picture from his brush and
a sketch he made along the canal dis
plays his customary skill.
Spencer Nichols is hardly represented in
an adequate manner by the single water
color that he exhibits, a decorative subject
showing . beautiful girl standing knee
ceep in the tall grass of an open field.
There is a very nice quality in the sky and
the general coloring Of the picture is de-
lightful.
The Cloister of the Pines by Robert Cole

to linger over, SO full is it of sentiment
and artistic feeling. One can almost catch

theme, and the beech trees by Nine. Bill
ders van Bosse have the same character
istics emphasized even more strongly.
A picture by Ten Cate is also shown, a
street scene in an old French town, paint
ed strongly and in a somber key. Mr..
Mann has loaned for the exhibition a very
fine example from, the brush of F. Hopkin-
effect but It is keenly artistic, and is Won
derfully clever in technique.
Hobart Nichols has not been seen in
pastel before and his November Twilight
Will come in the nature Of a surprise to
many. The composition in this landscape
Is very striking, as the long lines of marsh
grass carrying the eye to the horizon tend
to emphasize the sense of distance. Equally
artistic are his three water colors, the one
called an Autumn Sketch having an es-
pecial charm.
Edward L. Morse is new to the local
exhibitions, and his work will attract all
the more attention on that account. though
the merit Of his pictures would insure
them careful inspection in any event. In his
largest pastel serious-faced little boy is
looking in a rather puzzled way at skull
probably on his fathers library desk, for
the shelves Of books in the background
seem to indicate the character Of the room
and at the same time afford opportunity
for rich ccloring. Doubtless some will pre-
fer pastel called Jack and Clara, two
charming heads framed together.
Alice Barney also has surprises in store
Tor the public, for there is a great deal of
strength and vigor in the canvaseS which
mark her first appearance here. The
strongly handled head of red-haired girl
will find many admirers, though the more
dashing study head half covered by blue
domino may be a more GENERAL favorite.
Mrs. Barney shows also a sweet little
child's face, executed in pastel.
Juliet Thompson's work is in quite new
vein this year. and though some of the
Individual qualities of style that attract
most in her portraits are held in restraint,
she has revealed new qualities of sentiment
and feeling. In her most important pastel
the serious Madonna-like head is lighted
from behind, and the face gets only the
pale glow of reflected light. The expression
is very fine. and Miss Thompson shows her
command of technique in this pastel as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-12-11

to good advantage in another little mo-
tive.
One of the most striking pictures In the
gallery is the large pastel by George Gibbs.
called "On the Banks" The downward
plunge of the schooner into the trough of
the wave, and the water boiling about the
bow has been rendered with great spirit.
and the fog effect is remarkably fine. The
sunlight filtering through the curtain of
mist gives a fine play Of light to the sky
behind the pitching vessel. In this ma
rine the relation of the near objects and
the distant ones seen through the mist is
worked out in much more truthful man
ner than in the slightly singular subject
she wn last year, good that was.
A collection of about half dozen water
colors by modern Dutch masters greatly
erriches the exhibition, and among these
the interior by Albert Neuhuys will claim
especial attention. A young peasant
woman is at work with her spinning wheel
and over the edge of the cradle near her
childs chubby face appears. The coloring
has the depth and richness peculiar to the
Dutch school, and everything has a certain
solid quality which is only too rare in the
average water color. Other fine interiors
are the Mother and Child by Valken-
burg. the little maiden pairing potatoes
by kever, and the picture by Henker, en-

Marie Mattingly also shows a portrait of a
young lady in evening dress, the work be-
ing distinctly in advance of anything she
has yet done. The drawing is perhaps q

ease and freedom of handling that will
doubtless come with greater experience

whose work is seen here occasionally, sends
a midsummer woodland sketch that bears
the marks of faithful study.
