MaGgiC's Idea OF venus de meuict.
Somewhere in Washington-just where

in this short article on the development
and indeveopment of art in the national
capitals a mansion presided over by a
woman of wealth and refinement, says the
Washington Star She is a most artis-
tic woman, too, and in her house are some
unusually fine pieces of painting and stat
uary. There is also a MileSian maid, by
name Maggie who knows deal more
about house-cleaning than she does about
sculpture, and Maggie has been trying for
a long time to cultivate her taste up to
the point of properly appreciating the
painted and carved beauty with which she
daily comes in contact
Not many days ago the mistress and the
maid were going over the house with
brush and broom, putting 1t in especial
order for a musical that was to be given
to a few artists and fashionables, and the
mistress observed that the maid on three
several occasions passed by with cold neg
lect of cloth and brush beautiful figure
of the Venus de Medici. in an alcove just
off the hall.

you brush the dust off this figure?"

"Yis, ma am" confessed Maggie, but
that there aht to be something on it,

1t was delightful and logical excuse,
perhaps, but the lady could scarcely ac-
cept it. and Maggies brush removed even
the dusty drapery she wished to leave.
