who committed suicide in the Seine, is
still matter of talk in the art colony
She was such a healthy minded girl! So
hright-faced, cheerful and. above all, so
talented that the idea of suicide was
scorned by her friends here.
Miss Wilde's friends frst missed her
when, after knocking in vain upon her
door, they failed to come across her at
Brabizon Cresy or any of the places where
she was in the habit of going for a day
or two On a venture, half fearing the
awful death, they visited the morgue and
found her dead-stting bolt upright be-
hind the glass cases that line the walls.
1t was supposed that she had backed off
one of the bridges with her paint box
and easel, until the arrival of letter in

cording to the masters that has ever

A young woman who ranked second to
none in point of talent is Miss Caroline

made a worldwide name. Miss Goodwin
did not exhibit in the last salon. but this
year confined herself to tapestries and
lines of work that are not admitted. She

dustrious sister is over here studying
night and day to accomplish that most
of all to be desired thing, "a mark in

When you have visited the art centers
of Europe you are easily convinced that
pu Maurier was right when he said that
American women stay at home but
American girls come abroad to study
art
During the past few months the art col
onies have filed up so surprisingly with
young women that in a few years the art
exhibits will be largely from the brush

by no means driving the men out of the
field" for in true art that is impossible:
but they are broadening art with their
personality and making art more plenti-
full as we say at home, more common"

pictures multiply there are fewer of the

OF course the picture was accepted -
and Mrs. Dumond painted it herself"
There are queer tales told on the inside
in the art colony. one is of how a GER
tain beautiful exhibitor. whose name has
been mentioned. fell to the floor in hys-
tercs of joy when told that her picture
had passed the Judges successfully. And
then there are many tales to be related
of how the students, both men and wo-
men, go through with the experience
known as getting along" without much
money.
Not all of the girl students are artists.
Paris is fun of musicians, violinists and
piansts. \ Chicago violinists whose mus
ic will be heard at home soon is Miss
Isabelle Rulards, who has been studying
the violin in Brussels under Ysaye, fol-
lowing the master wheresoever he chose
to go as is the custom in Europe. Here
the teacher doesn't wait upon the pupil,
but the pupil follows him. If he takes it
in his head to spend August in cool de-
lightful Holland, enjoying the interiors
and the Delft, there all must go or
lose their lessons.
Three young women, the Misses Show
erman, DAILY and White of Batavia, N. V,
are studying the piano under Leuteuch-
sky with marvellous success-and there are
others, so many others that they cannot
all be named.
There are fads in the Latin Quarter.
The fad this summer is for Holland.
The peasants, with the stately headdress

their interiors. daring in every tiny ap-
pointment, draw irresistibIy the art stu

THE FIRST SET COMPLETE.

The two Prize Puzzle Pictures pub
plete the first set of six pictures, and

quickly as possible after they reach
the readers eye. The entire six are
published together in this morning.
W k y G o b e, SO that our coun-
try readers throughout the Northwest
may have equal opportunity with all
others to solve the puzzles and to win
the splendid prizes offered. Let every
one observe carefully the rules laid
down to govern this contest.
Now that the first set of six pictures
is complete, cut them out and paste
them upon sheet of paper, writing
underneath each the answer as re-
Quired by the directions, and at the
bottom your name and address in

This date will govern the awarding of

There are still five sets of six pic
