OLGA NETHERSoLE's EASTER MEMORY.


There is one memory of my childhood
associated with Easter that can never be
eliminated" said Olga Nethersole recent
ly to a reporter of this newspaper.
A member of my family lay sick at
home, and all were worn with anxiety
and dread. During the week preceding
Easter the skies had been dark and the
weather was raw and bleak, gusts OF
snow falling from time to time and
everything seemed to be in keeping with
the darkness that had come over our
house. The physician attending my
relative had called many times, and each
time, as l watched from my nursery
window, I thought his face grew graver
Easter day was beautiful. The sun
shone hot and bright. My governess was
particularly quiet about the Invalid,
though she told me he was worse. We
went sadly enough to church-she and
and my sister, and my brother was among
thelittle, white-surpliced choristers in the
chancel.
"The full, rich notes of the organ were
pealing forth the opening of Christ Is
Risen To-day as my relatives mother
stole softly down the ais.e and seated
herself by US. While she knelt there
praying, the sun streamed on to her head
and seemed to fill her soul with light
after the service we hurried home,
when we learned that change had come
while the mother was : in church, and
that her child was saved.
I do not think I shall ever be happier
r than was that Easter day.

miniature pianoforte which is located in
Il small room in the basement of the
church. Here every day the fair young
chime-ringer comes and strikes the keys
which form the electric connection with
the big bells above.
When Miss Thomass first began to ring
the bells of Grace Church, several years
ago, she had no end of difficulty, for the
bells ring several seconds after the keys
are struck. and it takes a great deal of
practice before one can learn TO play
without expecting to hear the answering
note.
But after while she got used to having
the bells ring several seconds after they
were struck, and now she is able to
go ON playing, feeling sure that in time
fculty experienced by the chime-ringer
SO far away from the bells, is that the
sound is often lost in the noise of the
street. Many ringers of,selectric chimes
are obliged to have a very large horn at
tachment which brings the sound down
to the ear. But Miss Thomass plays
without the horn, and trusts to her cal
to catch the fieeting note.
Miss Thomas says that chime-ringing
is an excellent occupation for a woman,
if she can learn it; though she admits
that her sister tried it and failed. 1t was
so hard to follow the bells. The actual
execution is very simple, for the slightest
touch makes the connection

WOMEN PAINTERS
OF THE MADONNA.
They Have Distinguished Themselves
by the Delicate Colorins Of
Mother and Child.

Religious paintings NO longer have the
vogue that was theirs back in the middle
ages. The great artists of both contin-
ents are more apt to seek their inspira-
ton from Nature than the cloister. AT
mosphere' is desired above symbolism,
and ray OF sunshine is preferred to a
halo. $500
There are but few artists of note in
America who have giSeif their talents
exclusively to the painting of religious
subjects. and the majority of these
few are women. Four of the best known
Madonnas in this country are by women
artists who have already acquired fame
for their cartoons in stained glass work.
One of the most exquisite of the
modern Madonnas, both i'll color design
and religious sentiment, is the "Star of
Bethlehem" a study of the Mother ana
Child in the stable, by Mrs. Charles r.
Lamb-Elia Condie Lamb, as she is bet
ter known in the art world. The sweet
serenity of the face, the graceful aban-
stall with the Divine Child resting in her
arms. is in itself a sermon, however
gently graciously told, of faith, of trust
in the unseen stranger, than any pulpit
discourse.
A second artistzwho has found inspira-
ton for much of her best work in religi-
Gus subjects is Mrs. Clara Weaver Par
TlSH, foOutueIueI. sWuo fudS spent uOSC
of her life in New York. worked and
studied exclusively in the Metropolis, and
gained her lanrels without further in
struction than that afforded by New York
schools and studios.
Like Mrs. Lamb, Mrs Parrish is the
best known as a designer in mosaics and
stained glass. She was a co-worker in the
famous window of ''St. Michael and the
Dragons. recently placed i'll a New York
church Mrs. Parrish has the credit for
much of the splendor of coloring which
renders this window one Of the finest in
America.
Mrs. e. Christine Lumsden, of Brook
lyn, has done a study of "a head of the
Madonna that in coloringSand expression
has rarely been equaledAs The idea of
doing a Madonna was first suggested to
Mrs. Lumsden by the sight of very

Episcopal church. It is after one of

is framed by the moon. which shines
brightly through the circular window,
making an aureole around her sacred

The background of this scene is deep

glow from the duskiness eof the room in

features are singularlE clear-cut and
