Distinguished Handles. Artists.

A Belgian artist, one of Watteau's
students-Caesar Ducornet-was hand
less. having been born without arms.
and with only rudimentary legs, and
yet he carried off all the prizes at Lille,
won golden medals In Paris, and had
pictures in the Louvre. He used to
hold the palette with one foot stump.
and use the brush with the other. A
slender scaffold was built in front of
his easel. and on this he writhed and
twisted, climbed and ~crouched, leaving
traces OF color wherever he passed,
~traversing the canvas with the swift
ness of a fly upon the wall. Antwerp
had an artist who copied the master
pieces of Rubens, and yet had no
hands. All his work was done with
his toes, and so well did he paint that
his pictures fetched a higher price for
them artisticsmerit than those OF any
other artist an the city England's
handIess painter, Mr.. Bartram Hiles,
at the age of is had exhibited his first
picture at the Bristol academy, and
succeeded in winning the national
scholarship OF the value of f100 for
two years. He both paints and models
with his mouth. Herr Adam Stepen
of New York. is another armless artist.
who guides the brushes with his toes.
The young Swiss artist, Aimee Rapin,
has no arms. but manipulates her cray
on In a wonderful manner with her
right foot. A German lady. known as
the foot artist" (because armless and
painting with her feet). four years. ago
married a professional signer. The
wedding ring was placed on her fourth
toe, and she signed the register With
her foot.

oId-Fashioned Virtues We Might Well

Araoella is safely shut away in an
ola daguerreotye, and there Is nothing
!ett TO her memory but a few dead rose
ieaYes and the fading dreams in the
hearts OF the old, says the Woman's
home Companion. But we should Of
Ter TO her memory a tribute oil praise
Tor certain sweet endearing young
charms which are almost lost arts
at the threshold of the twentieth cen
tury. True, Arabella was a pale, faint
star in the brilliant light of the new
girl, n yet. looking into that old
daguerreotype lin just the right line
Oh Ylslon), one sees some sweet, old
fashioned ~propensities which have been
Danished TO the cobwebs and dust of

girl would do we'll to adopt. If 1t is
old-fashioned to be modest, then it is
a grand, good old fashion. and we need
TO dig 1t up out of the past and give
II a genuine nineteenth-century
boom" Old-fashioned gowns, old
songs, old plays, are born again after
years of burial, and delight new gen
erations. Happy if some old-fashioned
virtues long abandoned and forgotten
might be resurrected and become the
rage! After the cheap jests and shrugs
and mannerisms of society "a pure,
frank, ~unspoiled name is like sun
shine on the waters of a brook after
the yellow glare of gaslight. Arabella
was wont to sit in a state OF sweet
receptivity and absorb the %eloquence
Of man, which. though perhaps inglor-
ious, was at least restful. Therefore,
she had that pearl of all manners-re-
pose. The new girl. on the contrary, is
all the time making a palpable effort
10 sustain her reputation for bril-
liancy. Now. the conscious effort to
be continuously witty and entertaining
may be as trying to the nerves as
those deadly pauses which occur be-
tween ideas land which unquestionably
occurred pretty frequently between the
ideas of our lost Arabella). The girl
who is determined at all hazards TO
fill up silence, and takes that task
wholly upon herself is sure TO become
exhausted. and e~Xhausting. Isn't the
new girl, by demonstrating her power
to do anything, in danger Of having
everything thrust upon her?

three days the horse knew that stable
