PORTRAIT OF REV. 0. D. ODELL

Soon Be on View at II.
Lieber Gallery.

portrait of the Rev. Owen Davies
Odell, pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, by Mr.. Walter Gilman Page, which
has just been completed, will be on exhibit
in the H. Lieber store within a few days
and will probably attract much attention
both from interest in the sitter and from
the mastery treatment by the artist. Mr..
Page, who is one of the best-known por-
trait painters of Boston. has spent several
months in this city, and during his stay
here has painted several portraits which
were shown together with a few of his
other portraits at a recent exhibit in the
Lieber gallery.
The portrait of Mr.. Odell has the same
quality shown in Mr.. Pages other portraits
the picture quality that alone makes the
charm of portrait lasting Apart from the
likeness that makes portrait valuable To
those who know the sitter, there is the
rarer picture element that makes the can.
vas interesting to those to whom the sit
ter is unknown. The modelling of the face
and the flesh tints are delicate but vigor-

dering which expresses the personality of
the sitter. The lines of the mouth and chin
are firm without hardness. while the ex-

clergyman in Indianapolis who wears a
gown, and he has been painted in this, the
folds OF rich drapery and the contrasting
tones of the black silk being admirably
reproduced on the canvas. Mr.. Page has
introduced none of the usual "churchly'
accessories-stained-gla windows and the
uke-into his canvas TO give il "atmos-
phere." The portrait creates its own at
mosphere and is altogether one of the most
admirable canvases OF its nature ever ex-
hibited IN indianapolis.

the Claypool during their stay here, will
leave tomorrow for Boston, where Mr.
Page has a number OF commissions TO exc

An exhibition of oils and water colors,
the work of the Richmond group of artists
which was hung yesterday in the Herman
gallery on North Pennsylvania street, will
have deep interest for those people who
saw the paintings exhibited by this coterie
of artists in the Flower Mission exhibit
last spring The exhibit was by no means
discovery of the Richmond men, for
they have been working earnestly and max
ing their influence felt in art circles of the
West for number of years; but the ex-
hibit served to introduce them to a larger
proportion of the Indianapolis public than
had before known them.
The artists exhibiting in this Richmond
display are only three. E. Bundy. Frank
j. Girardin and Charles Conner. The men
work together and their canvases have
something of the same qualities, though
each one has his own distinct technique
and ideals. Their work is vigorous, marked
by keen artistic perception and the cam
vases are all full of individuality both in
composition and brush work.
Mr.. Bundy, who is perhaps the best
known OF the trio, exhibits twenty water
cOlors and a number of oils. only four of
the latter having been catalogued. A num-

Bundy has the trick of catching the wood
browns that many artists lose in an effort
after the more vivid colorings. His forest
canvases are admirable, too. in that they
reproduce the seemingly impossible tangle

Frank YOung's Dancing System.

Frank c. Young. of the dancing team of
Young and De Vote, now at the Grand, is
not only one of the best dancers on the
vaudeville stage, but is considered one of
the finest instructors of the terpsichorean
art in America. His summer months are
spent teaching ''would-be" chorus girls the
first principles of dancing in the Klaw &
Erlanger free school in New York, and
many of the young women who will appear
with the Rogers Brothers at English's the
latter part of this week received their
first dancing lessons from him. Mr.. Young
is a Hoosier. He was born in Evansville
and learned the elements of his art when
he was under six years of age from the
negroes on the levees of the Ohio river.
He picked up much of it by constant prac-
tice. but he says that he was a mere ap-
prentice in the art until he was instructed
in the fnesse of dancing by Won Croft, a
European dancing master.
Mr.. Youngs methods OF teaching chorus
girls how TO dance are interesting. He
uses what he calls the alphabet system,
which was originated by himself. Each
letter in the alphabet signifies movement.
The movements from A to X are simple
and those from x TO Il more intricate Ger
tain combinations of letters form steps.
The pupil is taught to go through these
she has mastered each. Before giving them
any instruction in the use of their feet,
Young first requires his pupils to memorize
the alphabet of movements. This he does
by executing movements before the pupil
and teaching her TO distinguish what letter
IL stands for. The instruction in the use
of the feet then begins. Mr.. Young will
call off a letter and the pupil is expected
to execute the movement at once. Later
he will call off combination of letters and
the pupil goes through the movements.
slowly at first, and faster she becomes
familiar with the step. Dancing in all forms
is taught in this way by Mr.. Young.
Miss De Vote, his partner, is good ex-
ample of what can be taught an apt pupil.
She is now nineteen years of age. Mr..
Young began teaching her when she was
fourteen. The moment her feet touch the
floor il may be seen that she is very ac-
complished dancer. The grace, the postures
and the smile-fOr Mr. Young teaches his
pupils now to smile, too-are all perfect.
Even the women in ehe audience applaud
her-a thing. as Mr.. Young says with par
donable pride, that reflects great credit
upon himself, since women rarely applaud
a feminine dancer for some reason or other.

The Japanese Way.

New York Tribune.
A Japanese woman, when abandoned by
her lover, takes a peculiar and picturesque
revenge. When she no longer has any
doubt as to his faithfuness she gets up in
the middle of the night and puts on a pleas
ing dress and wooden sandals Attached
to her headdress she carries three lighted
candles, and suspended to her neck hangs
a small mirror. She takes in her left hand
a small straw effigy of the faithless one,
and in her right a hammer and nails
Walking gravely to the sanctuary she
selects one of the sacred trees and nails
the effigy securely to the trunk. She then
prays for the death of the traitor, VOW
ing that if her wish is granted she will
take out the nails which troubled her god
since they are fastened to a sacred tree
Night after night she comes to the tree.

Death Sentence in England.

From ST. James Gazette.

lord chancellor pleads for the retention of
the form, saying t1at-the passing of the
death sentence will act as a deterrent.

this manner and got himself rather badly

about to bow his head to the ak when the
sheriff was called away by Scotch hire

came Gotham, and, having made his last

the world when the sheriff stayed the exc

Grey, all three thinking that the other two
