Cupid Isl With what a calm, deliberate
proud air he stands and takes his aim, as
II he, too knew the heart of woman and
with how little seriousness her pleas for
immunity are to be taken.
And the woman; Is she not a beauty?
Is she not a quarry that any hunter might
find It worth while to follow for days or
months, or even years? Her proud, classic
profile and glorious figure have something
hieratic In their attitude and she is drawn
with corsummate skill.
The skill in composition and treatment
which is shown IN this drawing marks It as
one Of Glbson's masterpieces; that is from
purely technical standpoint. There Is
sunshine all over the picture, suggested
rather than drawn sunshine lighting up the
figures and sunshine dancing upon the sea
that forms their background. This sea,
while seemingly an unimportant matter In
the picture is really the making OF II, for
the contrast between the lines with which
II is drawn and those which form the ig-
ures is so marked that II makes the latter
stand out in brilliant relief
On the figures are strong shadows drawn
with infinite skill The raised arm OF the
Cupid casts its shadow upon his neck,
breast and side leaving a spot OF light
where the sun strikes his shoulder; the left
leg is in the shade Of the right and the

and no one can blame a young man for
trying other methods OF making a living
The case Of some women with a small
amount Of capital is quite different how
ever. For instance, II a woman has a
strong love for green fields and trees and
animals; II every living, growing thing is
interesting TO her; If she has had a college
education; has seen the world, or a good
portion Of f.; knows. besides what office
work in a city is and is thoroughly ac-
quainted with boarding house life, she is
in position, 1 fancy, thoroughly to enjoy
a real home on a farm and all the luxuries
which that implies. 1t is only people of
experience who can fully appreciate the
country and what it can give. The country
man holds many things cheap because he
never paid directly for them.
To be sure, the farm must have all the
so-called modern conveniences," with tele-
phone and rural free delivery besides; ard,
If the woman expects to live on II the
greater part of the year, 1t should have
good railroad connection with some large
city. The woman whom we are considering
expects neither to follow the ploN, do the
chores nor the house work, except In cases
Of emergency; but she should be capable Of
doing any one Of them and is trying to be-
come so. What a generous life such a
woman can lead on farm on an income
which would support her but meagerly in
a city! This is my theory. When I have
put It into practice 1 hope TO be able to
substantiate 1t.

New vocation for Women.

A new vocation for women is that OF
the story teller, and It is bound TO grow
more popular each year. The mother has
aIways been the story teller Of the child,
instinctively realizing that by this means
she could best amuse and interest the boy
or girl, boys being especially fond Of
stories Pedagogical study has gone a step
farther and decided that through the me-
dunn of the story the child may not only
be amused and interested but his taste for
good stories cultivated. The mother who
made up her stories as she went along had
no scientific reason for the pleasant task,
but all the girl children in her stories were
good and ali the boys brave, and many
lessons Of right living were unconsciously
taught in the bedtime stories that mothers
of the past generation always made part
OF their daily life with the children. Many
teachers are good story tellers, but there
are many women neither mothers nor
teachers who have talent for story tell
ing, and these women will be much in
demand now that the fad for story telling
Is developing The Carnegie library of
Pittsburg has issued a list OF stories that
mothers can easily obtain, and this will
be very convenient to supplement the home
made stories Of both teachers and mothers.
Of Bible stories as 1t is not always easy
TO decide what stories to select from this
book. The list includes "The Boy Samuel"
Daniel in the Lions Den," David and
Goliath" Elijah and the Widows Son."
Fall OF Jericho" Feast Of Belshazzar,"
"Gideon and the Midianites,'' Joseph and
His Brethren" "Naaman and the Leper,"
Noah and His Ark" queen Esther"
Ruth and Roaz," Solomon and the Queen
of sheba" and the well known stories of
the parallels.
The professional story teller has for the
most part confined herself to telling stories
to teachers and in some instances they
have not proved successful with children,
who will soon discover how much the narra-
tor loves the story, and will easily detect
little mannerisms that detract from the
success of the effort. In some libraries. tho
Carnegie of Pittsburg, for instance, story
telling is done systematically, a regular
course being given.

How Artists Use Lines in Pen and Ink

OF her skirt, while behind her head her
dark hair is black against the pretty shad-
ows upon her neck. These shadows have
definite forms. and the sharp outline of
these forms against the lighted surface tell
of the strong light that shines on the figures.
But-and this is the most important point
in the drawing-the lines with which these
shadows are formed are firm, smooth, un-
hesitating, while those OF the background
are broken, nervous irregular and swelling
into curves as they approach the fore
ground. 1t is by such treatment that the
artist suggests the shimmerlng surface of
the sunlit sea. Straight unbroken lines
will do for a stlll sea on a cloudy day, but
when the sun dances upon moving ocean
there are tiny glints OF light which fash
from every ripple and by breaking up his
lines the artist leaves minute specks OF
white which give the effect of sunshine.
And the swirling lines I'm the foreground
Indicate the eddies made by the water as It
runs up the sand and back again with each
successive wave.
The suggestion OF sunlight on the sea in
tensifes the brilliance OF the lights and
shadows upon the figures Were II not for
this clever treatment OF the background
they would not stand out as they do, but
would seem to lie fiat. like cut-out figures,

The monumental stupidity Of women is
that they are so long in learning that

prepare herself to make $500 year in
some conservative position, when her en-
ergetic, but less highly educated sister, is
making 5000 to 5000 year in industrial
employment The woman Of today should
refuse to be kept TO the old conservative
fields and should make herself a place
