How Artists Use Lines in Pen and Ink

triumph Of pen and ink drawings to be
able TO suggest color, and these lips GER
tainly look deep red.
The student will do well to observe the
way in which the tip OF the nose, the nos
trils and the shadow Of them upon the
upper lip are handled, with how few lines
and with what precision. To appreciate
thoroughly the excellence Of this bit OF
drawing the picture should be placed at q
little distance and looked at through half
closed eyes, when the lines will vanish and
leave only soft shadows. as soft as If made
with a brush.
The hair is a masterpiece OF strong,
broad drawing For il a heavy pen, prob
ably an old-fashloned quill, has been used,
well filled with ink The heavy lines ra-
diate from the point above the forehead
and form waves Of massive locks, falling
softly over the left eye, drawn back loosely
over the ears and rolled IN a great wave
over the top Of the head. They have been
drawn very rapidly, with free arm swing
ing from the shoulder and elbow; such
lines are impossible II the hand be held
stihiy. No one can describe how the eE.
preston Of the eyes, which in this picture
is so striking. is produced this can be
learned only by long practice in drawing
from living models.
Such a picture as this has value not
alone as a work OF art, but as a portrait
Of q very famous beauty.

tables. Especially interesting are these
cards n, as is frequently the case the hos
tess herself has designed them Perhaps
they are water colors, perhaps pen and ink,
and not gems Of artistic worth at that
but they may have d quality Of being
applicable IN a humorous way, and the
fact that they were done by the hostess
herself makes them interesting to her
guests.
Many women use year in and year out
their embossed dinner cards, either with
merely monogram or with the family
crest or the name Of the family home in
one corner or at the top, but a card more
pertinently suited to the occasion shows a
greater personal interest on the part Of
the hostess to her guests.
1t is an art successfully Piled among some
Of the younger students-tho designing Of
dinner cards. one little girl not more than
IS years old has acquired a clientele of con-
siderable worth for her dainty water colors.
She made in the beginning a few Of original
design and put them on tho market in one
OF the department stores. Since then she
has had regular orders for them and at
this time Of the year she cannot conjure
up ideas enough to supply the demand.
For game dinners at the country club or
In the out-of-town house there are unique
cards done in water colors after some Of
the well known paintings Of the hunt or
the chase.
Little pen and Ink sketches Of the guest
himself Is a favorite idea Of some hostess
who Is fortunate enough to possess a young
friend who is an artist with the knack Of
taking a snapshot sketch either from a
glimpse OF the guest or from a photo
graph. This form Of card causes much
merriment.
For the children there are quantities Of
pretty and interesting place cards, and there
Is nothing which prJvokes good cheer and
sociability so quickly at a tableful Of young
folks as maine cards on which are good
conundrums. Each guest reads his conun-
drum to the others and they all try to
guess the answer. The question IS written
on the reverse side of the card and only
the child's name appears on the front.
Another form of place cards for children
IS a line from well known poem or quo
tation Usually there is someone who can
set the young guests right when they all
have made a futile attempt to place the
line correctly.

Increase of Household Expenses.

Increase of Household Expenses.
Harpers Bazaar has been publishing dur
ing the last summer and autumn an ex-
ccedlngly interesting and practical SYM
postum in which Bazaar readers tell how
they are meeting the increased expense
Of living in cases where there Is uo cor
responding increase of income. The fol-
lowing instance, from the December Ba-
Ear, is a typical one:
THE expense of living has increased
our income has not. This increase has
been met by US in the following ways:
we give almost SIS less to the church
and to various benevolences than we
used to.
Formerly we spent about SIS a year
for magazines and books. Today we
scarcely spend $, depending upon the
library for nearly all our reading.
I'VE save certainly SOS by doing less en-
tertaining than formerly.
Il have saved about SEQ by keeping a
maid only half the year. where formerly
We kept one all the time. I have her dur
ing the summer and fall when 1 do not
wish to be in the hot kitchen and do want
TO be out-of-doors. We save perhaps sl5
a year by not going to so many enter
tainments and concerts Indeed. we have
cut these out almost entirely We simply
cannot afford them.
1--WE spend some $40 less for vacation
and for travel.
II save perhaps S25 n year by making
over my own clothes which friends give
me for the children, where formerly we
were accustomed to buy them ready
made. 1t means lots of work. but it is
much cheaper and the clothes wear better.
This accounts for about $2l5 Of the
S245 that must be saved on account OF the
increased cost Of living. The other $50 is
money that we do not save. Where form
erly we tried to put away $50 to 500 for

in many ways" she said. For one thing
you have local option for which we arc
now fighting desperately. Our licenses are
in the hands of magistrates who, instead
Of being elected by the people, are APP
pointed by the lord lieutenant of the
county, who is, in his turn, appointed by
the national government. Thus the grant
ing of licenses in any particular locality
is entirely beyond the control Of the people
Of that locality. But 1t is not only in your
temperance legislation that you are ahead
Of Great Britain. You haven't got the GUS
toms and preiudices of hundreds of years
to combat. With US social suctoms are the
greatest difficulty we have TO overcome.
You have some Of that here but not to
anything like the extent we have. For in
stance, 1 have been much struck by the
small amount Of drinking in the hotels.
In one Of the most fashionable hotels in
Boston 1 noticed only three or four people
taking intoXicants. In London half the
people present would have been taking
them. America is to be congratulated also
in having no barmaids. These are a great
evil, not only because of the harm done
to themselves, but because they decoy
young men into the saloons. They are en-
ployed for that purpose and are chosen
for their personal attractions Again, the
women don't drink as much here as they
do in England. At least they don't do It
so publicly. I have been told that they
are accused OF drinking too much in pub

The fever Is preceded by chill, some

but In severe cases the deeper struc-
lures are attacked.
Although erysipelas Is one Of the
contagious diseases, 1t is not one to be
