HOW lANDSEER WORKED.


The man who can accomplish work
at dash Is probably the one who
has spent patient years in preparation
for 1t. An enthusiastic English sports
man, Mr. Wells, of Redleaf, Penshurst
had engaged Landseer to paint the
portrait of his favorite dog But the
artist was one of those who put off
their duties as long as possible, and
one day Wells, who had been growing
Iuore and more impatient. showed his
aeeling by some sharp expression.
Il know | have behaved shameful
]y," said Landseer, but | will come
down next Thursday and stay till Mon
day, and the picture shall he done be-
fore I leave"
On Thursday he arrived. just In time
TO dress for dinner and his first re-
mark was: "Oh. your man tells me
that you are going to drag the great
pond tomorrow. Hurrah am just
IN time. That is subject | have
hften meant to paint. and | shall get
any number Of sketches done"
This was an unpleasing announce
ment; but the host bore it. Landseer
did a capital days work for himself
and the next morning. when he came
down to breakfast, he said:
Mr.. Wells. | hear you are going to
shoot today. I've been looking for
ward to that for a year or two" So 1t
went on until Sunday morning. and
then Wells, who was very particular
about seeing his guests at the early
service, said to I.andseer:
Il suppose you are going to church? 2"
Il don't feel like going" said Land
seer. Il think you must excuse me. ="
oh" said Wells. in blaze. do just
as you think best. You know well
enough that this is liberty hall-for
you, at all events"
Thank YOU" said I.andseer. "And
am going to ask you to let me keep
Charles Mathews with me, to amuse
me"
Wells Youchsafed no answer. and
away the people went, leaving these
two to their own devices The min
ute the house was clear they hurried
to another room, which Landseer had
specially arranged for the purpose
The head gamekeeper was there. hold
ing the dog. and Mathews assisted,
when there was need, at the same time

returned from church the picture was
painted, finished and framed on the
wall Written on the trunk of tree
In the background We're the words:

NOTHING NEW IN THE ARCH.
Most of the Present-Day knowledge
Was Derived From tht. Aurieuts.

The old adage, "'rhere's nothing new
under the SUM-" applies with as much
aptness to architecture as 1t does to
many other things 1t is well known
that although the building of great
arches of masonry dates beyond the
ancient Roman civilization the princi-
pie that gives strength to the massive
stone bridges of to-day Is the same
that built the bridges of the Roman
empire.
The history of bridge building Is TO
a large degree the history Of the arch.
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that the arch new
or sleeps" because each separate sec
ton of which it consists. beginning at
the Keystone or central section. Is con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
nelghbors until the pressure finally
reaches the Arm foundation upon
which the structure Is erected.
To secure a perfectly trustworthy
founda ton. therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth. and not infre-
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of trustworthy foundat ton
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch. arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing ii to pieces.
Not only Is the modern bridge build
er skilled In setting his structure on a
firm base but thoroughly acquainted
with the time-honOred materials for
his work. to say nothing of new mate
rails, and an important part of his
student training in such modern
schools as the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology is devoted to methods
OF testing materials during construc
ton that would have surprised and
delighted even the most accomplished
of the ancient Roman engineers.

excessive length not of sweeping train,
but of sides and front. This length.
like so many other current fancies, is
handed down from early in last century.
Dressmakers declare that it is very
graceful fashion. Some of their custom
ers retort that it would be, were women
ever doing minuet dances and mincing
steps. Here again the prompt adopters
of new notions are going the new skirts,
undue length and all, but ordinary wcm-

wardrobes, are likely to fight shy of this
notion clear to the end.
Silks have more than recovered sum
mer stylishness. Last season, and in
less degree the year before, the general
admiration for smooth faced cloths of
light weights helped to keep silk from
the place it usually has, but now silks
of the soft, supple weaves are in vogue
for about all manner of dress. Their
favor for shirt waist costumes Is pro

The width lent by most of the sleeves
now fashionable gives further protection
against an appearance of undue width,
so what at the first shOwings of this
skirt fashion was most feared is really
no danger at all. if reasonable care is
taken. The consequence is that though
the full skirts made slow Roadway, they
have made it surely and are becoming a
general acceptance. The more they are
seen on women, the more their merits
make impression.
There is one feature. however. of the
stylish skirt models that hardly will
meet with most women's favor And
this. though this very feature has the
Endorsement of those women who are

Ia many cases the chief support Of a

in this way are also employed in more
elaborate gowns. Then figured silks ara

silks are restored to everything from

freely trimmed and novelty in the en-
helishment is much sought. Odd com
binations sometimes result from such
search. One such Is pictured i'll the in

the dress material was mouse gray silk.
and the straps over the shirred bodice
were gray wolfe. In front these had
tab ends. More common trimming for
silk is lace of soft sort. Whether used

fond of it. or who is well supplied with
