THEODORE wORES RETURNING.
A letter from Samoa announces the
early homecoming of Theodore Wores,
the artist, who has been working hard
for months on south sea subjects. He
spent much of his time on the Island
of Savii, one OF the Samoan group,
which is practically unexplored, and
where the inhabitants still keep up
their tribal customs. Oddly enough,
Marie Wells and Marie Oge, whose
pictures he delighted to paint, sail to-

on the next steamer but Miss Wells
and her mother will continue their
trip to Samoa and New Zealand.
