four storied and medium sized with the

One thing that seemed cdd to a stu
dent from Nebraska, was the lack Of
guides. One of these, when he first came,
thought he would pose as visitor for a
half hour till he could get his bearings.
SO he stopped a gown clad senior and
asked where he mig find the Office and
get guide to take him over the build
irgs.
The senior told him there were no
guide; "just 60 over the buildings by
yourself
But want to ask questions" he per-
sisted.
The senior looked puzzled a moment
and then answered.:
81 think any old student would answer
questions"
Cobb Lecture hall, the largest of the
buildings, corresponds largely to our
University hall having the registrars
office, the chapel ard lecture rooms.
The inside walls of the rooms in this
building are finished in pressed brick,
the lower One-third dark red, and the
upper part terra Gotta. The ceilings are
Ianelled in dark wood and the floors are
Of oak. Altogether TIE building seems
substantial but rather sombre.
At chapel one OF the deans led the ex
ercises, prayer and the responsive read
ing OF psalm, the singing was led by
choir OF young men students wearing
caps AMI gowns. After the exercises,
the students remained standing while
the three deane, one Of whom was a
woman, came down the middle aisle and
passed out.
The Haskell museum is just east OF
the main building. Here is the oriental
museum with its Egyptian mummies of
men and birds, its japanese gods and
Hindoo amulets. Here also are the lee

I have an over mastering inclination to
creep into one of the mummy cases and
see how it feels to lie still for five thous-

There is picture in one of the col
lections lent to the art institute Tor
exhibition that would repay hall
days study. 1t is an oil painting, "The
Grief of the Pasha," by Jerome.
The background is dark network OF
moorish columns and arches and pas
sage ways. In the foreground great
yelyety blue rug is spread over the
filing and on it stretched at full
length on his side is the body OF dead
tiger. fills head is thrown slightly
back, his mouth is partly open, his
paws are bent and nervsless. Around
his head aud under his feet are
scattered pink roses. An insense
burner is at bis head, two lighted can
dies stand Leside him and shine en- his
tawny shoulders.
Back and to one side sits the Pssha,
his turbanned head bent and his intense
eyes fixed on the dead eyes OF the tiger.
In the south wing Of the art institute,
among collections of old lace and en-
broidery, is an old coat with two waist.
coats. They are fanciful things. The
waistcoats are OF light tan silk en-
broidered with many colored flowers.
The coat is richly trimmed with lace
and buttons.
"Ah," you think when you first see

worn in the degenerate days OF France

fore, that there is less sentimentalism
and pretension and more real effort and
merit.
There is come very good work shown
at least, especially in the collection OF
sketches from life. Out of the three or
four hundred OF these a number leave
really strong impressions, thing that
student work seldom does. In one, the
face OF boy whose features are strong
rather than beautiful, the technique is
90 finished that the face stands out with
force and character. Most of the
sketches are studies in expression.
There is an odd thing in the water
color collection. 1t is study from life
OF an old man. The eyes have not been
attempted, only the outline and coloripg
of the head aud chin being given. Yet
there you have the head of feeble old
man with the VIII t, hair and the char
acteristic reddish skin. The pose of
the head and the turn O. the chin are so
characteristic, the ccloring is so well
done that after a moment you forget the
lack Of eyes in admiration for the artists
work.
One Ct the most interesting points OF
the exhibition is the collection OF de.
signs for lace. They are drawn with
such delicacy that they would almost
deceive one who did not look closely.
The lace is drawn in white on a dark
background Sd that every thread shows
distinctly. 1t is significant that without
exception these designs are made by
women.
One Of the old rooms in the art ipsti-
tute is the room where they keep the
collection OF paintings by old masters.
These are nearly all portraits worked
out in rather strong reds and yelIows.
The faces look somewhat apop.ectic and
the colors are rather too heavy to suit
modern taste but after all the pictures
haue the understandable something that
