Four girls-matinee girls-watching
their idol, make a picture which needs
no explanation. This drawing is study
In expression and in the drawing of
wOman's costume.
Attention has been called before TO the
value OF reticence in an artists work;
this drawing is splendid illustration OF
the point; there is just enough detail,
but not too much to detract from the
general effect. which. after all. is what
must be sought II is an excellent plan
when drawing from a living model TO
half close the eyes and observe what
stands out strongly, especially noting
the relative positions and shapes OF the
masses of shadow and light. By doing
this all unessential details vanish. and
these should be left out of the drawing.
This Gibson picture is strongly lighted.
on one side the light comes from the
right. on the other from the left, while
the faces and fronts OF the four girls are
all in shadow. This is due 20 the fact

would rally around their divine leader
even as the San Antonio Zlonists had
done.
His walk TO the carriage was an ova-
ton. and after ne was seated he raised
his hands in silence. Instantly every
one barred his head and he began TO
speak. His first words were assurances
of the appreciation Of the love and
loyalty OF the small band which had
gathered around him and he asked God s
blessing on their heads and said that
when he had come into his own at Zion
City he would remember with places OF
honor and trust the loyal bands OF
Texans who had welcomed back a man
supposed to be deposed.
At the conclusion of his speech Dowie
went at once to the Menger Hotel. With
him are John A. Lewis. Deacon Peters,
and his secretary. David Murdoch. Din
ner was waiting at his room. and he
ate heartily. He seemed TO have stood
the long trip extraordinarily well.

The influx of refugees began this morn
ing. and a steady flowing stream OF
them has continued TO pour into the
city ever since.
The villagers are bringing their fami-
lies and such household goods as they
could carry away in their hurried flight.
and vehicles OF every description have
been pressed into service for this pur-
pose.
The traffic on some OF the roads is so
great that the highways have become
blocked. and It Is with difficulty that
the carts and wagons are able to make
their way.
The military has been used TO advan-
tage in assisting the villagers to escape
and to save their goods The soldiers
have worked hard to assist the peas
ants. and military vehicles have been
offered freely for the transporta lion of
goods. Carabineers have been stationed
along the roads to point out the dan
gerous points, and assist the refugees
in passing them.
The eruption has caused great deal
of damage, as the heat from the lava
streams has withered the vegetation,

spread in Zion City today upon receipt
of word that Dowie had crossed the

aVenging march to Zion, breathing forth
threats and apparently growing stronger
ard more vigorous momentarily as the
prospect of a fight increased.
Private advices reached the community
early. The report OF Dowie's apparent
good health came as "A surprise TO ALL
Active preparations for serious trouble
are being made by Sheriff Powell of
Lake county.
That Dowie will likely be accompanied
by large bodyguard is looked upon
by the Sheriff as contingency that
threatens trouble. but he hopes meas
ures of some kind may be taken that
viii prevent the sympathizers OF either
faction becoming unruly mobs.
When seen at Waukegan, Sheriff
Powell said:
1t is difficult to predict what will
happen in the excited State at Zion
City. The people have always been
peacefully inclined. and firearms are
not permitted in the town unless carried
by the police. / am Ioath to believe
that there will be any clash, but men
are much the same everywhere, and
Dowie's return is sure TO cause a certain
amount of hysteria."
The leaders of the new movement in
Zion City decline to express any opinion
with reference 10 DOwie's mental con-
dition.
A final effort to unite public senti-
ment against Dowie Will be made at the
