GIRL PAINTER OF
CECIL RHODES,

Amelia kussner, or. as her friends love
to call her, Amelia" has just returned
from South Africa, where she painted
the miniature of Cecil Rhodes. If the
Boer prediction is correct that they will
take Rhodes a prisoner. the miniature
may be the last n of the famous Eng
lishman, for his friends declare that he
would eve survive captivity.
Amelia Gussner is known in these later
days OF art as the revivalist of the
miniature. The ancient and honorable
little oil painting a gone out of fash
ion when h started it up again by
painting the smallest Inc daintiest por-
traits hat ever graced ivory. She de-
clared at the time that they were little
life sketches made small for convent
ence. They could be worn inside a watch
case or placed in the tinies photograph
frame.

lecting miniatures, one of the most
charming being a portrait OF. Mrs. Cleve-
land, made when she was the 'girl-wife"
of the president of the United States.
! Miss Kussner's miniatures set other art
collectors wild, and soon all the society
women in; the country were begging her
to paint them on ivory. e
Miss Kussner's harvest was a harvest
for other miniature painters, for the
demand became great enough to keep
