How Artists Use Lines in Pen and Ink

he how to emphasize the qualities that are
Characteristic of the one and the other.
The ruggedness Of age and the tenderness
OF youth are here drawn with the skill OF
Glbson's master hand, and the way In
which the effect is produced should re-
ceive careful attention from the student.
1t is a matter Of technique, about which
volumes could be written without helping
young artists to attain It. for practice is
the only thing that will be really helpful
Practice from the living model will pro-
duce better results than endless copying o:
pictures. 1t was thus that Gibson himself
climbed to the top Of the ladder Of fame
AS he sketched living men and women
and children he formed his own technique.
learned all the little tricks OF touch that
are Individual. and became the master that
he is. II an old man did not actually pose
for this one-armed veteran It was only be-
cause the artist had drawn 50 many old
men from life that his mind was stored
with faces, which he could reproduced from
memory, or whose features he could COM
bine I'm an ideal head. II the coat with It's
empty sleeve was not drawn from a model
Il was only because Gibson had been copy
ing real coats 50 long that his memory
was stored with their folds The same Is
true Of the boy and his sailor suit. for
which Gibson had many models that his
mind could turn back to and use all over
again.
II is interesting to study the successive
steps by which picture like this is drawn
and the process should prove instructive
20 the student. The picture was drawn IN
pencil, hrst in rough outline, then in mOre

detail. The faces and hands were worked
over until their forms satisfied the artist,
who then took his pen. a heavy, strong
one, and drew the outlines OF the man s
face over the pencil lines. They are
broken outlines, formed OF heavy angular
lines. and they melt into the shading In a
way that shows the whole face was drawn
at one time; the outline OF the nose was
followed by the shadows and wrinkles upon
IT, and so on. for It win be observed there
is scarcely any actual outline IN this face.
The lines were drawn with extreme ra-
pidity. as Is evident from tho two inter
lacing zigzags that form the hollow Of the
left cheek.
The face finished. the heaviest and black
est lines forming the creases OF the coat
we're drawn, the artist laying on hard with
a big pen filled with ink still working rap
idly. Then the coat was covered swiftly
with the lines that give Il color and tex
ture The hand was probably drawn l1st
but had been studied out carefully In pencil
for that suggestive position Of the fingers
holding the empty sleeve is no accident,
The outline Of the boys fnce was then
drawn and the hair followed. The face
was shaded with a fine pen. ana the sailor
coat was finished Up with the same rn-
pidity which marked all the drawing.
The student who tries to copy a picture
OF this sort should do It several times
never attempting 10 reproduce Il line for
line. but In his own way to attain tho same
effect. IL he desires 20 be an artist he
should follow In the steps Of the masters

Women Folks

said to be one OF the finest aggregations
OF antique and modern iewelry ever
brought together in this country. the in
ventory reading like a tale OF The Arabian
Nights"
Il was collected by a wealthy Boston
woman. who, for over half a century, de-
voted herself to securing, not only the
rarest specimens OF antique and modern
jewelry extant, but also rare silks and
textiles from the four corners Of the earth
autographs from famous authors and not
able men and women-in fact, everything
that caught her fancy.
The administrators found trunks filled
with silk gowns OF almost every period Of
fashion, silk parasols, richly embroidered,
one in white silk with a peacock with
spread tail circling the cover; fans by the
hundred with carved ivory. lace and jew
eled gauze, exquisite lace handkerchief
Chinese and japanese porcelains and all
sorts Of quaint and beautiful things
There were thirty-nine teachests filled With
the jewelry. while a large safe held the
diamonds. When the cases were removed
from the Jewels in order to pack them
they filled a bathtub.
Many curious stories are told Of this
woman, who died last summer. but her
name has not been divulged by those in
the secret She had taste for barbaric
splendor and delighted in curious devices
and mechanical toys made of all sorts Of
stones. One of her fancies was for set
Of tigers claws which her agent procured
for her in India, and had mounted In
twenty-karat gold Of exquisite workman
ship. This set Of necklace, earrings and
brooch is included in the present exhibition.
A little English trunk was filled with
crosses, one OF the most beautiful being a
pectoral cross set with diamonds and to-
PAGES.
Then there we're hundreds Of pairs Of ear
rings from every land, some Of Egyptian
design and some such as our grandmothcrs

included in this collection is sJudded With
diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds,
beryls peridots, opals, hyacinths topazes,
tourmalnes, jargons, chysoberyls and other
stones, some Of which are seldom seen
outside Of museums.
The collection is attracting the attention
OF connoisseurs and collectors from all
over the country.

The polished rubies of the reconstructed

stones, which are dutiable at 10 per cent
ad valorem The collector had decided
that the artificial rubies In the rough come
under the head OF non-enumerated manu-
features dutiable at 20 per cent. aud from
this ruling the importers appealed 90 the
Board OF General Appraisers
While the natural ruby is the highest
priced OF ell gems, being in large sizes
worth ten times as much as a diamond,
the artificial stones are made in the labora-
tories Of Partisan chemists IN great num-
bers at prices that are comparatively
trning. The artificial stones command
higher prices, people in the trade say, as
a result Of the government placing them
IN their cut and polished form In the same
class with the rare and costly natural
stones. Dealers with elastic consciences
sell the artificial product for high prices
as real rubies, with semblance OF the au-
thority Of the government to back the
claim.

a half pounds Of the best white laundry
soap, one-haf pound of white oak bark,
three-fourths pound of borax, one-fourth
pound of fuller's earth, one-half pint OF
wood alcohol, one-half pint Of ammonia,
one-half ounce OF chloroform and four gal
Ions Of water. Tie up the bark in a piece
Of thin material, and boil in two gallons
Of water for four hours. Keep boiling
water at hand TO replace that lost by evap-
grafton. Now remove the bag, add the
soap shaved fine, the borax and the fuller's
earth, and let simmer until all are dis
solved; then add the other two gallons OF
water, which should be boiling hot, and
when partly cool add the alcohol, ammonia
and chloroform. This quantity will clean

A suggestion to woman,s clubs.

Suggestion to WOman'B Clubs.
1T may be CLEANED from the resolutions
on moral education adopted by the Fedora
ton Of Womens Clubs" says the Portland
Oregonian, that some of their members
believe the teaching Of ethics in the pub
lie schools might be improved. The ques-
ton is open to debate. The effectiveness
OF ethical instruction can be properly
Judged only by its results. The crucial
inquiry is this: do the public schools
produce a reasonably moral state of mind
and conduct in their pupils?' The most
that we can fairly demand is comparative
excellence. To ask for perfection is sim
ply to display ones ignorance Of the con-
ditions that limit all human activity.
Some light on the question might per-
haps be attained by comparing the
morals Of citizens educated in the public
schools with those of the more favored
classes who attend private schools and
afterwards enjoy the benefcient influences
Of the colleges This would amount to a
comparison between the morals of our So
called middle and lower classes and those
of the upper classes, or millionaire So
ciety.
"Most of those Americans who belong
to the second generation of the wealthy
have been educated in private schools
with course In college to finish. II Is
from among these men that the individ-
uals arise who occupy themselves in grab
bling franchises, bribing members of the
legislature and making perjured tax re-
turns TO the assessor. They are also the
ones whose scandalous violations of the
marriage bond bring the nation into dis
grace, 1t is they who formerly supported
Town Topics and who continue to sup
port publications even worse in character
though not so notorious. Their lives. ir
too many cases, are a shameless riot, a
continuous orgy
Among the lower classes, on the other
hand, who are educated In the public
schools, we hear OF no systematic and
persistent attempts TO rob their fellow
citizens. Their lives, though by no means
above reproach, are not an open and cry
ing scandal. Their reading, though otter
foolish, is seldom wicked. Upon the whole
their morals compare very favorably WITH
those of the upper classes who have en-
joyed more select educational advantage
Therefore one almost feels like advising
the Women's Clubs to direct their investi-
cations toward the private schools and
colleges as field where moral reform is
vastly more called for than in the public
schools"

were glad to hear that they were not

Mrs. Eli Hayer had an experience last
Friday which she does not care to re-
peat. She was on her way to town
when she tipped and fell on a poor walk.
In falling she struck her left side
on an earthen jar she was carrying and
received severe bruise therefrom.
She also injured her right knee and
ankle so that she was unable to get
about the house for day or two. The
walk has since been condemned and
torn out to prevent further accident.
We hope to see new one there in the
near future. This was not the only
piece of poor walk in town, by any
means and it is surprising that so few
are injured. lamont Chronicle.
