Schoolroom Decorations

An original feature in artistic and beau
tiful schoolroom decoration is TO be seen
at the Benjamin Harrison school in the
fish-net draperies and accessories arranged
by Miss Wiihelmina Seegmiller. Mingled
with the Gloucester fish nets are numerous
beautiful, large. bright glass balls, of va
rious colors and of interesting history.
The glass balls perfect spheres. air
tight. each encased in a covering of the
brown fish net, drawn up to fit: also they
have strings by which they are attached to
the net. They are fishermans buoys from
the Gloucester shore, and are still used by
the fishermen in order to float their nets.
In the beginning clear white glass balls
were used by all; but this occasioned so
much confusion and trouble that one en-
terprisng longshoreman had his buoys
made OF colored glass, green, red or blue.
Others followed his example TO such an ex-
tent that new species OF confusion arose,
followed by general return to the original
clear glass balls with some individual mark
of ownership. Discerning tourists and ar
lists bought the glass balls at 81 each in
such exhaustive numbers that several years
ago there was not a glass ball to be found
from one end of Gloucester wharf to the
other. An old sailor. who kept charming
little shop of fish net. anchors and fishing
adjunct OF all kinds, rose To the demand
and now has the beautiful balls made in all
bright hues especially for the steady
souvenir trade. 'Old Daniel" it is said. is
as proud of his quaint little shop window
hung full of the lovely spheres of glittering
glass as any enthusiastic old bottle col
lector could be of iridescent treasures
from Italy or Persia. Miss Seegmiller's
glass balls OF various hues are hung on the
walls with the fish net in an effective ar
rangement which is both interesting and
charming.

knowing that Dubrowski was ignorant of
the language.
Fortescue nodded assent, and passing his
arm through that of his would-be pre-
server drew him away, catching he did
so a glimpse of the baffed assassin on his
back among the ferns, held down by two
of Volborths men. Dubrowski seemed
unable TO comprehend. AS they moved away
he blurted out:
Thank Goo. monsieur. you are safe. L
did my best, but your fellow-countryman,
who is, l presume, police officer, was be-
fore me. Why should any one want to kill
you who are so amiable? Is 1t that the

II thank you for the attempt TO save
my life. Captain Dubrowski." said Fortes-
cue. with a curtness that was perplexing.

in silence.

office building should not be neglected. We
have reached step in the development OF
our country where there should be less of
the strangling of art sense than we have
heretofore endured for purely economic
reasons. II has been the aim of the gov
eminent to give recognition to art in con-
struction, but much less opportunity has
been given for art in decoration than should
reasonably be expected. especially in con-
nection with such pretentious buildings as
the one now being erected in indianapolis.
The government should certainly contribute
its share TO the refining influences of Amer
lean life, and certainly one of the greatest
of these is decorative art In public build
ings these influences are put nearer the
people than when they are INDUCED through
private munficence. There is besides a
duty in this respect. 1t rests on all who
undertake the creation of any form of
pretentious enduring structure Indiana
has advanced further in this respect than
most of the American States in the superb
art of another form shown in our soldiers
monument, the influence of which, in un-
consciously developing the artistic sense of
our people, is Unreasonable. The new post
office building here is intended to be much
more than merely unitarian structure
If there were no other object 1t could be
made adequate at small part of the ex-
pense allowed for it. 1t is the government
building; it should be a comprehensive ex-
preston in all of its features of what should
be expected from a great, powerful and
progressive government in expanding up
ward of 100000 for such a purpose. and
it should not be so deficient in features of
decorative art as to indicate regrettable
lack of appreciation of what might and
should be shown in this way.
ARCHITECT GIBSON'S VIEWS.
Mr.. Louis II. Gibson. leading architect
of the city. is greatly interested in the pro-
posed decoration of the federal building
Mr.. Gibson says in regard to the subject:
How may the walls of our federal build
ing be, successfully decorated? The Pan

@HE new federal building now in
the course of erection here is an
object of interest and pride TO
lATlsAl every indianapolis citizen and de-
- servedly So 1t adds a beauty and
a dignity to the city which cannot be placed
at too high an estimate. and every In
dianapolis man and woman who has a fit
ting pride in the development Of the State
capital will admit the value of the struc-
ture in the beautifying of beautiful in
dianapols."
There is a step to be taken in the finish
ing Of the building however, which has
not yet been outlined in the plans, and
that is the appropriate mural decoration.
So far as is known there has been no ac-
ton taken in regard to the matter and
the subject has been little discussed except
in a few of the clubs of the city whose
progressive members have recognized the
Importance of and value of such decOra-
ton. While the building is yet really only
in its first stages. no time should be lost in
securing the certainty Of the fitting compile
ton of the edifice by proper decoration.
The mural decoration of the federal build
ing should, rightly, be regarded as part
of the furnishing and it's cost should be
including item under that head. II
possible an appropriation should be secured
TO cover the expense and movement to-
ward that end should not be delayed. The
services of the best artists should be secured
for such work. but this would not neces-
sarily mean a very large appropriation. If
but one or two rooms were decorated, and
in many of the rooms such identifying
would not be especially appropriate the
cost need not be large. The United States
courtroom is, of course. the best adapted to
such decoration and if this alone were
chosen the expense would be comparatively
small.
The present moment is the one in which
to urge the fitting decoration of the build
ing. The movement now on foot to beau
tify the city has awakened an interest and
a pride in the city's appearance which
should embrace all details. Not merely

And then. perceiving that this weak vessel

changed his manner to one of gentle sym

nothing back from him except the fact of
Volborth being police agent He showed
how at Vienna, at Scheptowka. and at
Breslau Boris had been used instru-
ment for assassination by Olga Palatzin.
He recounted his own and Laura's narrow
escape at Boulogne, and he supplied the
reason for the two attempts that had been
made that day.
Il have no doubt" he concluded, that
in the note which you received before din
the grounds were suggested as a con-
veient place for you to deliver the bogus
message?"
The tears were running down Dubrowskis
cheeks and he could only nod

soldier, who love my Emperor" he
groaned. when he had recovered little

door. II will see you alone before you re-

morning. Fortescue tossed the stump of
his tenth cigarette into the CRATE in his
bedroom and produced his writing ma

sIBut the Greatest of These is Charity"
 As Text He EnlarEes Upon Greatness of Love.

Rev H. W. Thomas, n. D., of Chicago, President of the Congress of ReliglcEs. occupied the Court Street Methodist Church Sunday morning, in the absence of the pastor. Rev. Dr. John A. Rice who preached the commencement ser mon at the Southern University at Greensboro yesterday. The building was comfortably filled and the musical program was up to very high stand
 Dr. Thomas is pastor of the Peoples Church of Chicago. and one of the best known living preachers. v Dr. Thomas is well up in years and is quite feeble. He speaks slowly and at times in a low tone of voice. He read morning the Fiftieth Psalm, and tho last few verses of the thirteenth chap ter of First Corinthians as the second. HIS text were those words of the Apos- tie Paul found in the last chapter read. as follows: And now abideth faith, hope, charity: these three, but the Urentest of these is charity.
 The speaker discussed those things which abide, or are permanent. Life Is uncertain and we are anxious all the time The seasons GO come .ir1a ana ET ETb,nes ous nome and grow and pass away, but are governed by the same general laws or abiding conditions. There are the same am e seasons every year. lndiVidual man dies but society continues.
 There is a shifting uneasiness all the time that is bringing about change' 4it put
 
 khere were three things that were per maneht, faith, hope and love" as the revised version of the Bible puts 1t.
 The speaker took up the matter of change of opinion regardingi pany things in the world Once the scten- tiic mind had this earth the center of the universe with everything else re- volving around it. That is all chang ed old time theologians studied sev- eIal pages of Watson's text book 10 prove that the earth was made in the short space of six days. but it is now pretty generally accepted that 1t took millions of years to accomplish the task He said that changes in faith were not by any means loss of faith This much Is certain, God is in all life and continually present in every law. We are finding 1t imperative to know the things that God is in. Things are true not because they are In the Bible but are in the Bible because they are true It is necessary to learn of God Things of Him abide. They are the permanencies of this life and the one to come.
