Mime. Marie Cain, the widow of the
eminent landscape painter, and Nine.
Madeleine Lemaire have been elected
members of the new" salon jury. This is
the first time women have been elected
to an office of such dignity in France.
and the circumstance marks a change
in the masculine attitude toward women
and their achievements. Nine. Cain is
an admirable landscape painter and has
received medals for sculpture in two in
ternational expositions. 1t is as a judge
of sculpture that she will serve on the
jury. Nine. Lemaire is to serve on the
painting jury. She had at fourteen be-
come sufficiently advanced in her cho-
sen work to be admitted as pupil to
the studio of Chaplin, where she pro-
gressed so rapidly that she was asked
TO assist her master in the decoration
of certain apartments in the. palace of
the Elysee. At eighteen she was sue
cessful exhibitor at the salon, and her
work later won her distinction in Eng
lish art galleries and a medal at the
Paris exposition of 1900.
