His studio Is so supplied that an order for frames, no matter how large. can be shipped at a days notice. In his business methods he employs only straightforward methods and has never been guilty of using the various fraudu- lent methods of catching trade so com mon to this particular line of work. The water color, sophia and crayon work done by experienced men at his place of bus mess has been his greatest advertising medium.

From the New York World
 A slender, fiat-chested, immature stripping held 1000 men and women spellbound in Carnegie Hall yesterday q noon. He played the violin for 53 n tes and 20 seconds, and in that ti he earned $1,000

 Jan Kubelik is the boys name. He is five months more than 21 years old, but he still looks boyish and tender that is, when you see him without his violin. From the moment he draws the bow across the strings he is a magician to move mems minds to in- cessant marveling. There is some thing wierd in his consummate mas tery of violin technique.
 To some extent, what Ignace Pader- ewski was few years ago to the New York public that Jan Kubelik is today. ne wears a crop of long hair of raven blackness, which dashes violently from side to side at passages of intense ac- tion in his playing. The moment the last strain dies upon the ear the magician vanishes and one sees only the self-conscious, diffident boy. Then men and women applaud him, and some cheer.
 Kubelik, seen close at hand in the sunlight, is cheerful, bright-eyed youth of remarkable slimness. His hands are large and powerful, but his arms, shoulders and chest are of the slightest. You feel instantly that here is one who has applied every atom of his energy to one thing, whatever that may be. His manner is cordiality struggling with youthful difidence. His eyes are dark hazel, with tiny dark rim of black on the iris. They are brilliant when he becomes interested in the conversation-as for example, when he speaks of music.
