Smith q grew to love her and then to dread her.
 "'What news msdemoiselle?' she would ask me every morning.
 "I have no news, Marie, I would say, indifferently. The next morning it would be the same thing.
 |" No news yet from the salon? she would say in French.
 There were little green and red cards fluttering through the studio and many of the students had learned their fate. One day l was sitting with an American friend of mine when in came Monsieur Julien.
 |" Mademoiselle,' he said quietly, your picture Is to be hung in the salon.
 Miss Rumph was the last of the Bir- mingham artists to leave Paris. This au- tumn her studio was opened and her first exhibition held in October attracted un- usual attention. She exhibited her salon picture and many other canvasses paint ed during her residence in Paris.
 This young artist became most favor ably known in the Quartier Latin. She was a member of the American Girls club and her canvasses exhibited under its auspices received favorable comment In the Paris cables. Besides studying decorative art and composition with M. Alphonse Mucha at the Academy Color rossi, drawing with Frederick McMorri- mis- painting in the private class of M. l.. R. Garrido, Miss Rumph passed a sum- mer in Holland in the open air classes of Miss Laura Munitz of Toronto. After her return from Europe the young artist stu died with William M. Chase of New York and last winter exhibited in the American Water Color society of New York.
 Miss Rumph in addition to her work instructs classes in drawing from plas- ter casts, or from still life, and on alter nate days the life class draws from costumed model in charcoal and pen and ink.
 On Thursdays Wednesdays and Satur- days she has classes in painting and also sketch class, which is very inter- esting.
 Miss Rumph. like Miss Smith, has about her everything suggestive of the Paris studio. From the merest outline of a chimney top to the pole radiance of a street lamp there is a fragment of Paris There are the Quays with the murky dismal atmosphere, the outline of the moonlight There are bits of the quaint old streets. curious old landmarks of the earlier days of Paris. There are wonder full black and gray studios full of mist and gloom, and the silence of night The artist has felt the shiver of Paris. that part of 1t which is unknown outside of Les Miserables.
 Miss Rumph's work in Holland repre- sents the peasant class. It Is very fine and her picture of Dutch interior was hung in the salon. The Dutch type ap- pealed to her.
 She Is very fond of Holland.
 There are French and Italian types, and numerous studies In water colors

Brad Iey-MCD0naid.

The wedding of Miss Leila Henry Me Donald and MT. Samuel Pointer Bradley of Birmingham took place at o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the residence of the bride. on College Hill. in Eufaula. An interesting feature of the occasion was that the date was the anniversary of the marriage of the parents ofsthe bride.
 The house was elegantly decorated in smilax, chrysanthemums and palms. At one end of the large parlor, between two cathedral doors separating the front and back parlors was an improvised altar of banked smilax, yellow chrysanthemums and palms. The Rev. E. L. Hill perform ed the ceremony.
 The brides gown was of green and brown zibeline, with trimmings of velvet

and oils, representing various phases of life in foreign cities, and many pictur- esque types. Miss Rumphs treatment of her subjects is not unlike Whistler.
 Another young Birmingham artist who is rapidly becoming known is Miss Carrie Hill, whose work as a landscape painter is most creditable. Her water colors have attracted a great deal of attention and an exhibit this week in one of the large art stores Is of notable interest She is a most conscientious worker and her landscapes are remarkable for their soft ness She does not belong to the impress sionists, and yet much of her charm is in her color effects. She is at her best in sky and water effects, with shores fringed with foliage. and her sunsets are charming.
 In addition to her landscape work the young artist does a great deal of black and white work, and finds time to design through the season the handsome dinner and score cards to which so much atten- tion has been paid in the last few years.
