ELIZABETH GREATOREx DEAD.

First Woman of America to Win Inter-
national Honors in Art.
Mrs. Elizabeth Greatorex, who died
few weeks ago in Paris, was the first
of the women artists in America to
win international recognition and was
the only woman honored by member
ship in the Artists fund. She was also
the first woman to receive the compli-
ment of election as associate of the Ma
tional academy, says the Boston Even
ing Transcript. She was born in 1919 in
Manor Hamilton, Ireland, and was, the
daughter of clergyman, the Rev.
James Calcott Pratt She came to New
York city in 1910 and nine years later
became the wife of Henry Wellington
Greatorex, an English musician. After
her marriage she studied painting in
Paris and Munich. She visited Eng
land in 1857, and in the eos and early
'70's was in Germany and Italy, and
produced the book of sketches and
etchings known as "The Homes of
Oberammergau," summer sketches in
Colorado, "Etchings in Nuremberg
and "Old New York from the Battery
to Bloomingdale, the letter press Of
these volumes being written by her Sis
ter, Mrs. Matilda P. Despard. Eighteen
of her sketches were exhibited in the
art collection at the centennial expo
sition in Philadelphia. A large pen
drawing Mrs. Greatorex made Of
Durer's home in Nuremberg is pre-
served in the vatican in Rome. In the
centennial year she also produced the
three paintings, "Bloomingdale
Church." est. Paurs Church. and the
North Dutch Church." each painted
on panels taken from St. Pauls and
the Dutch church in Fulton street,
New York city. Mrs: Greatorex was an
honorary member of the Sorosis. Her
daughters, Kathleen Honora and Flea
nor, both artists of repute in Paris,
survive her.

It is meet and fitting that the library

choicest locations in the house, and
full advantage is taken of this fact, in
the fitting and furnishing of the room.
Inasmuch as the library is most freely
used in the evening, it is not essential
that the room should be the most boun-

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.


America the laborer, the artisan and
the farmer are ardent readers of the
daily newspapers, and often Of class
publications, even if they do not ven
ture into the field of general literature.
The magazines owe their enormous
circulation to this widespread love of
reading, there being dozens of them
that sell far more than a hundred thou
sand copies every month, thus proving
that they must go into millions of
households. The tremendous and ever
increasing output of books is another
testimonial of the habit of the people.
This growth of love for reading must
to a great extent influence the lives of
the people for the better, and although
it by no means follows that library
will make readers, there can be no
denying the fact that convenient and
comfortable room with something of
artistic simplicity and finish about it,
set apart and dedicated as library en-
courages and fosters the habit. That
this is known and appreciated by the
people is shown by the fact that of late
years a very large proportion of the
houses built contain a room set apart
for that purpose. It is we'll within the

having book cases with glass doors, but
this end is just as we'll obtained by
pleasing escaloped leather yalances on

India silk curtains in the front
OF them. The tops of the low shelves
furnish an admirable place for the
display of artistic bric-a-brac, which,
if possible, should have classic lit
erary significance. It is needless to
say that this last quality should also
distinguish the pictures that adorn the
room, none of the furniture should be
formal. The library should give an
air of inviting quiet. welcoming the

The central feature of the room
