The price to be paid for the bust was
not considered, for the Hawaiians do
things in princely way. Besides they
want the bust heroic size, which is larger
than anything recently executed of a
Wuman.
The attitude in which the figure is to
pose is to be left partly to the imagina-
ton Of the sculptress, but Kaiulani's pro-
file which was singularly lovely when
seen with head slightly inclined forward.
has been suggested. Around the should

figure classic which cannot De altered

Miss Kuehne Beverage, the young
horored in a distant branch of her own
country was born in the executive man
sion in Springfield, Illinois. Her grand
father was at that time governor of the
state and he chose that his grandchild
should have the prestige of his home.
But the Beverages did not long live
in illinois. Mrs. Beveridge contracted a
second marriage and went to live in Eu-
rope as the Baroness Won Wrede. Pre-
vious to her life in Europe she spent a
time in California: and there little Kuehne
and her sister went to school.
The life in Europe was very beneficial
to the young girl from an artistic stand
point. The Baroness. her mother, had q
great fondness for the fine arts and de-
bated between music and painting for her
daughter; for Kuehne was very pre-
cocious and early outgrew her classes.
Finally her mother chose the violin and
save her daughter thorough instruc-
ton in the art. But Miss Beveridge grew
tired of music and. at the age Of sixteen,
decided to devote her life to painting and
sculpture.
In 1892 when she was seventeen years
old she came to New York with her
mother and maid and took up her apart
ments in the Old Victoria hotel, now gone
out of existence. She had been here only
a few days when she got commission
fl ON President Cleveland to model a
BUST of him. This she did so successfully
that Joe jefferson allowed her to model
HIM, and SO also did Buffalo Bill and
James ]. CoroetI. Her later work has
been over a head Of William J. Bryan
aud another Of Stevenson, the latter be-
ing particularly fine. Her bust Of Maceo,
an inspired work done within two hours
after hearing of his heroic death, is her
favorite.
1t is impossible thai one so prccocous
and 50 talented should not have known
iii the experiences Of the world; and
Miss Bcvcridce, beautiful. gifted and
versatile found her way upon The stage
in Charles Coghlan's company. OF course
the inevitable happened. Miss Beveridge
and Mr.. COgh!ln married in 1893 when

and after a few months Of harmony they
separated. Eleven mDntns after MISS
