Gear fired the tightly crumpled letter
at the cat and missed 1t by several
inches. The cat summing herself in the
window rose leisurely, stretched her
self and jumped off that ledge into an
other, out of the range of fire. Then
Gear picked up the communication and.
smoothing out the crumpled sheet, read
again the letter that had caused him SO

Those who love to study human ma.

from watching the people who visit
picture galleries as they receive from
the pictures themselves. 1t Is not ev.

amusing an incident as one which an
English paper reports:

titled His Only Pair" The artist has
depicted poor boy sitting up in bed
while his Woodworking mother mends
his only pair of trousers The boy,
although obliged to stay in bed while
the repairs are under way, Is contented-

marked to her companion: ellis Only

The hard volcanic rock of Easter is
land is covered with carvings intended
to represent human faces, birds. fishes
and mythical animals. Fishes and tur-
ties appear common among these sculp-
lures, but the most common figure is a
mythical animal half human In form,
with bowed back and long, clawlike
legs and arms. According to the ma
tives, this symbol was intended to rep
resent the god ''Meke-Meke." the great
spirit of the sea.

"Oh, he's the company" responded

quarter length portrait of the latter's
mother for the DeLong home at 18th

picture reflects Mr.. Rhodes ability as
a painter of high rank, being most
beautiful in conception of pose and
rich in wonderful technique. The sub
ject is seated in an easy pose i'll large
draped chair, the hands most delicate
ly brought together holding a closed
book in the lap, a fine piece of draw
ing and arrangement. The sitter is
looking towards the right of the ran-
vas, the head turned slightly in that
direction and leaning a trif1le, which

charming natural attitude to tine pie

portrait, as viewed by a representa-

has yet produced, and with the rich
and ornate frame, the work OF one OF
the best makers in the United States,
the picture will find fitting setting
