was a pretty. sentimental little trife,
founded upon an Italian comedy. The
idea was the pathetic description OF
blind old man. whose poverty was con-
cealed from him. and whose relatives
painted all in rose color. A similar idea
was worked out artistically In Miss Ell

Mr.. Burgstaller smiled. and Mr.

himself he liked best-"always, if you
ask me, the last one I have been sing

which the singers regard the music

Yes, next year." the tenor replied
with very evident gladness.
1.-The best woman of the world" he
exclaimed, as I asked him about Ma
dame Wagner. He told me then boy
ishly, quietly joyful, of the reconcilia-
tion that had taken place between
them. Last Christmas eve Madame
Wagner had written to her former pro-
tege in forgiveness for his sin in sing
ing "ParsifaP' for the enemy.
After ALL" she wrote to him. some
one would have sung it. and 1t was
really better that the Americans should
first know 'ParsifaT through you than

barytone here sang out. The posing
was over, and the piano was showed
back in place again with laughable
ease and palpable enjoyment Nor
did that satisfy Mr.. Van Rooy's appe-
tite for action. He caught UP a massage
machine from the toilet table and ap-
piled it briskly to the Burgstaller

the tenor through his explanations to

Would II not be a nice thing for the

art in the Old World?
Then there are large importations
yearly of paintings of religious themes
to be used in church decoration. Why
not let local people who have attained
high place in art supply the need?
That Mathews, Tojetti, Sandona and
a few more local men that at this mo-
ment escape me, could paint as good
pictures as come from Italy there is no
reason to doubt.
But this Europeanism is a disease.
People have been told that all good
pictures come from abroad-that is,
dealers have said so, and their verdict
has been accepted, and some of the

But would it not be nice thing for

BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS.

Since that time this talented young
woman has gone ahead with true
Western determination and breeziness,
and she's turning out some fine things,
among them the picture used to-day.
There's a marked distinctiveness
about Miss McCormick's work that
holds it a thing apart from Peters,
Mathews. Miss Hunters and the rest
of the Monterey devotees, in that glad
ness is its dominant note In contra
distinction to them, her work is done
in high key, in the lurid light of a
sunny DAY, with grass and blossom
rampant in all their gayety.
A clever young woman, this, and
more of her work would be welcome!
