This is done either by drawing out his ideas

jority the instilling process is the desirable
one, for few have SUFFICIENT knowledge either
Of art or OF the maniDulations Of the mate

larly valuable or workable However, they
usually want something to cay about the de-

one which this group of artists does admire-

photographs and volumes Of suggestive de-
signs AS most Of the stained glass is or
dered for churches, sacred art furnishes most
Of the ideas, for not many are willing to give
an order for wholly original piece of work.
They prefer for the figures those that they
have grown to love through long acquaintance
In familiar pictures. For this reason most
OF the panels are adaptations of wellknown
religious paintings: Sets Of choice books
containing reproductions of these are Oh
important part OF the equipment of Mrs.

and clear glass is used for this. Sometimes
other portions are entirely painted, but In
other pieces colored glass is used for dra-
peries to give the body color, and folds and
shadows are painted on it. Occasionally a
whole panel, especially small ones, will be
entirely painted. T. On the other hand, dra-
peries are often made of carefully selected
pieces of glass that comes in uneven thick
ridges that represent folds admirably. This

The painting of glass partakes somewhat
of the nature of china painting and also

heat, just as the successive printings of sew
eral colors give a finished result different
from any color put on. Mineral colors
change much by the action OF the intense
heat of the kiln, and it is no small art to
determine what shall be used to give the
desired color qualities.
The firing is done once day In small

piece has to be handled so many times,
great many pieces of work are kept going at
one time. AS the effect is to be. judged with

One OF the strong plays of the willard
repertoire, THE Middleman,'' has good
luck" part. 1t has received the title be-
cause several actresses who started in it
have mounted rapidly the ladder of fame.
Among this number is Mary Van Buren,,
leading lady Of the Frawley stock con-
pany, who made her first professional
venture on the stage in Mr.. Wizards
ct mpany. She did not actually make her
first arpe arance in THE Middleman,' but
she had the lucky part in it. Her first
part in the Willard repertoire was Mercy
Pecksniff in Tom Pinch Naturally,
sha was much interested spectator last
night at the performance of this play.
Her predecessors in the good luck" part
were Maxine Elliot and Keith Wake
man.
Miss Van Buren, played ore season in
the Willard company an experience as
valuable as it was agreeable. She met
Mr.. Willard during his recent engage
ment in Denver and he commended highs,
ly her course in going into a stock COM
pany, for he regards the training as very
beneficial especially for young players.
1t enables them to find their particular
fortes by giving them an opportunity to
try variety of roles. 1t also develops
versatility and resourcefulness.
In the intervals of rehearsals this week
Miss Van Buren, has been visiting rela-
tives at White Bear Lake and has been
reveling in country air and sports. She
is an enthusiastic hOrsewoman and began
to investigate the possibility of securing
riding horse before she had settled the
question of a place to live. Horses and
dogs are Miss Van Buren's fads. In her
love for these she has so many sympa-
thiZers that it cannot be regarded as an
eccentricity. In fact, Miss Van Buren,
isn't in the least eccentric. but is one Of
the normal happy and healthy women
who, like the most favored nations. have
no exciting history.
To a Journal woman caller she said in
her gracious manner, 81 am agraid / am
not a very interesting person to write UP;
I have never had any great struggles,
privations or troubles With most
serious face she promptly leaned over to
tap lightly on the wooden easement, lest
this boast might bring her some of these
things which she has been spared.

DESIGNERS AND PAINTERS OF GLASS
RS WILDE AND MISS McGRORY APPLY THEIR TH
MAKING STAINED GLASS DECORATIONS

I, The number of the women in Minneapolis
engaged in art crafts as business is small.
OF the number none are more wrapped up in
their work and more ambitious to uphold the
best traditions of good workmanship than
Mrs Frances Wilde and Miss Mabel McGrory,
designers and painters Of stained glass, whose
work is done for the Pittsburs Glass COM
pany
Both young women had careful technical
school training in drawing and painting, but
work with glass was wholly new to them until
a little more than year ago. They took up
the work left by Miss Marion Graves. the
clever Minneapolis painter who was married
last year and left the city. After a little
coaching from Miss Graves, they took UP the
practical side of the work alone. learning
from experience the processes and require
nents of the mechanical work.
The large. airy studio In the company IS
building adjoins the werkroom in which the
glass is cut, set UP, loaded, framed and
shipped It is not handsome nor numbered
up with studio fripneries. but it is none the
less an interesting place. Neither the de-
signing nor painting of a window is always
or often the work OF one person. A figure
window from this establishment is always
the result Of the artistic labors Of at least
two persons, the panels feing designed by
Mrs Wilde and the mosaic setting lby Allen
Baird. Some OF the work OF painting the
figures and arranging the colored glass for
draperies and accessories is also done by
Mrs wilde. but this is the soecial work of
Miss McGrory.
The whole process of designing and making
a. stained glass window is interesting, but
the art workmanship is the only portion with
which this article is concerned. $Ihe first
point is to come to an understanding with
the prospective purchaser as to the design.

The only persons who really appreciate the
'tgift Of tongues are thouse who have not
got it. The man who can speak three or four
languages takes his accomplishment quite
as a matter of course and is seldom unduly
elated by it. To secure a correct accent,
fuency and ease in-~ expression one should
begin the study of foreign tongue in child
hood So say educators. The little enter
tainment which the pupils Of Mile. Drey-
fus gave last Saturday shows how easily
children can master what seems to be an in

it was with difficulty that the audience was

Minneapolis parents seem to consider a
knowledge of languages quite necessary for
their children and the study is commenced
almost in the kindergarten. Mile Dreyfus
has two pupils under 7, little Ann Day and
Marguerite Young, the small daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs James G, Young.
