Miniature Painter from Indiana.

The success that Amalie Kussner,
now Mrs. Coudert, the miniature paint
er, has made in her art, not only In
this country but also abroad, is an
instance Of what may be achieved by
industry, indomitable energy and
c~leverness. There are other minia-
ture painters whose work is technic-
ally as fine as that of the Kussner
miniatures. It was the artists knack
Of quickly understanding the style of
her sitter and posing her in such a
way that the picture represented the
temperament Of the subject deftly
idealized that won her first vogue
with fashionable women. Miss Kuss-
ner, unlike MISSIONER, would never
a1front a wealthy patron by painting
her wrinkles in all their reality. She
always fattered her s%itters, but so deli
cately that the likeness was true. Thus
she became popular, and her own wit
and tact won her prestige that she has
never allowed to grow less. Mrs.
Coudert was born in Indiana.

Were you frightened when. you felt
yourself falling through the air, pro-
fessor?"
"No. / can't say that I was. I don't
believe I realized the danger. 1t all
happened SO suddenly, you see. Not
until l was fairly landed safe and

perience the feeling Of fear. My SEN
sations were something like this. A
gust OF wind and the warning to my
wife, BE CAREFUL A sudden shock
when her parachute struck me. A gasp
Of breath and a terrific falling through
space. That sensation was an hides
cribable one. The next thing I was
conscious Of was my wife's parachute
directly below me. Instinctively and
almost without thinking I flung out
my arms and grabbed the ropes. That
broke my fall and I felt that we were
both shooting down to earth on an
almost closed, heavily ladened para
chute.
"For the moment it seemed as
though we both would be carried

would mean certain death. I was just
