Raneke, the artist, writes as follows
about his experience:
This portrait Of Dowager Empress
Isl An of China is the only authen-
tic picture of the dowager ever pub
lished In fact, it is the only por-
trait of any royal Chinese person
ever painted.
From an artistic Standpoint the
picture is pleasing. Notwithstanding
the small detail in background, such
as vases, bird and floral ornaments,
etc, that We're insisted upon by the
dowager. The figure is resplendent
in a yellow gown beautifully en-
broidered and weighted down with
precious stones. The Jewels of the
neck and head dress are said to be
worth more than $1,000,000
The bottom of the dress has an
edging five inches deep of pearls.

OUTLOOK FOR ARMY
OF SCHOOL GRADUATES

What is the future of the American
school girl graduate? Miss Cary NJ.
Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr coll
lege, answers with a plea for college
education. In reply to the query the
talented woman educator made this
statements:
No one who has watched women s
college education as | have for %
years can have a shadow of doubt
as to its supreme desirability for all
girls not mentally, morally or phys
ically deficient.
| am confident that if every one
had my opportunities for observation
there would not be a girl in the UNI
ted States out of college, and per-
haps as a consequence our govern
ment would be compelled to postpone
building men-of-wai in order to en-
dow women's education, the cost of
one battleship alone being sufficient
to endow and maintain indefinitely
two such colleges as Bryn Mawr.
But apart from the pure joy of it
and the profit to the girl herself, all
social life will be profoundly influ-
enced by the college education of
women The seniicloistered life OF
women in the past has developed
many priceless virtues, such as pur-
ity, family affection. unspoiled en-

The failure of the barbecue was n

the place of honor at the big barbe-

used while the work Is in progress.
The part to be renewed is 900 feet liz
