ART AT ST. LOUIS
The Building Devoted to It Is Model
Of Its Kind in Many
Ways.

The Art Palace Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition differs in one impor-
tant essential from the art buildings
at Chicago and those at Paris. All
the exhibits will be installed upon one
f1oor-there will be no upstairs gal
leries, no long staircases to ascend
and descend. The authorities of the
department demanded the observation
of four conditions in the planning of
the Art Palace; first, that the galleries
should be adequately lighted; second,
that they should be well ventilated;
third, that the buildings should be SO
arranged as to afford the free circula-
ton of large numbers of visitors with
out danger Of congestion, and, fourth,
that the structures should be fireproof.
The Art Palace is located upon a
hill south of the main group of ex-
hibit buildings and is entirely isolated
from other exhibition structures. 1t
consists of four pavilions, the aggre-
gate length of the front Of which is
$50 feet and the depth 450 feet. The
central structure is of brick and stone
and is permanent. The two side pa
vilions, which are temporary struc-
lures, are of brick with decorative de-
tails in staff. In the rear of the Art
Palace provision is made for an eIab-
crate system of decorative gardens,
with fountains, flowers and ornamen-
tai shrubbery. A special pavilion is
provided for sculpture. Certain pieces
of statuary appropriate to the posi-
ton have been installed outdoors. In
the immediate neighborhood of the Art
Palace many large forest trees have
been left standing, which add much
to the beauty of the general effect.
The Art Palace contains 1874 sky-light-
ed galleries, a large court for the ex-
hibition of sculpture, and a number of
side-lighted galleries especially we'll
adapted for ,tbe exhibition of works
belonging to certain groups Of the
classification. For sculpturaI decora-
ton as applied to architecture there
are special galleries opening into the
sculpture court of the central pavil-
ion, so that these exhibits, closely re-
lated both to sculpture and architec-
ture, may be installed, practically, with
both.

columns forming background for IA

states or territories in the purchase;

of the Kensington palace. 1t was repro

badly frost bitten that she cut
you oul of her will. There is
nothing to see from the windows

and the Lots for Sale signs,

house and the depot and there'll

at Beech wood Hill. 1t was on
ly two miles from the edge of
the city, and people used to love
to come out and kill themselves
there, it made me so nervous
that | never could look outside
the house after four o'clock in
the afternoon. There comes
the trolley car on it's up trip.
What delight it has been to
watch that Car come past here
every hour. 1t made me feel as
though had house in the bus
lest part of State street. It's
been such a comfort, although
it has been like the skeleton at
the feast, too, for every time it
has come past it has reminded
me that civilization and the
commuter have come to South
Ddleview on the Hill, and that
we will have to trek, as they
say in South Africa"
Susie slowly rose to her feet
and stood watching the yello W
trolley car as it went grindly
gayly down the street. Then
she went up to her room and
packed some clothes into
dress suit case and put on her
hat and jacket. She sat down
at table and scribbled a note
that she pinned to the outside
of her door as she went down
stairs. She went into the par.
lor and kissed her mother.

Why She Married.

to be used to it by this time.
It's your fathers system.
Susie Merton didn't cry. She
merely sat staring out across
the wide expanse of prairie dot

trees we're dotted here and
there, shedding their autumn
leaves that whirled in little ed
dies across the grass. A tall,
gaunt standpipe doomed in the
center of a little park, which
was different from the prairie
around about it only because of
a few granite blocks marking
its boundaries and sign paint

Then your father felt that his
mission here was ended. and
SO he has arranged to move to
Tanglewood."
"Tanglewood?" asked Susie,
despairingly. Where is it? In
the United States?'
"Oh, heaven and your father
only knows where Tanglewood
is" replied Mrs. Merton. Il

always been this Way. Your
father has started over a dozen
towns. He has been success
full. The fact that he showed
his faith in a new place by NOV

always in time attracted other

course, they have drawn still
