Mrs. Goodman has painted more than
a thousand portraits. Nearly or quite
fifty years ago she began exhibiting
her work in the Royal academy. and
she has kept it up ever since. She has
painted scores of the notable persons
of Great Britain. She has also met So
cially most of those who have helped
make English history in the past two
generations. She has lived with her
working and enjoying faculties unim-
paired while five British soyereigns
ruled and four of them passed away.
George III. was king when she was
born; she witnessed the coronation of
George W.; lived and wrought while
William ", then Victoria, reigned

ers, the marvellous woman yields allie

Girls, most of you will live to be old:
Will now that you are going to, any

stay here and keep learning something

It is not luck or even heredity. that
has enabled Mrs. Julia Goodman, an
English artist, to be a beloved and use
full member of the working world UP
to near the age of ninety-one, which
she will reach next November. Luck
she never had. In 1886 she was mar

afterWard became helpless invalid

dren had been born to the couple, how
ever-worse auckland, in addition to
the maintenance of her husband. Mrs.
Goodman had these to rear and edu-
cate all alone.
Heredity was indeed in her favor
She had in her veins the vital, te
nacious Hebrew blood whose possessor
seldom gives down and whines. But
heredity alone would have availed lit
tie except to enable Julia Salaman
Goodman to linger long in poorhouse.
She had noble artistic gifts also and a
wise common sense; best of all the in
domitable will that thus far has kept
her from yielding to the "cowardly
habit of dying"
Julia Salaman was one Of family
of twelve children, all of them uncom-
monty gifted. Their parents educated
them in a practical manner. Julia ran
naturally to painting. She had the
best teacher of the time and adopted
portraiture as her speciality. When
she was thrown on the world with a
husband and children to support. she
naturally and easily took up again the
beloved art which had been her enter
tainment in her fortune favored years.
From that day to this her life has
been one of incessant labor-not grudg-
ing, slavish toll, but cheerful, happy
tasks, so happy that you can fairly
hear the joy bells ringing their accom-
paniment down along the years all the
way. Mrs. Goodman has naturally
strong power of concentration and she
has cultivated it till it is enormous.
These are the things that have made
her and kept her-noble intellectual
gifts, a strong love nature and a
