head and shoulders, but employs as back

The Corcoran School of Art reopened on
January and on the afternoon of that day
at Ais the regular January art talk was
given, in the lower hemcycle, by Mr.. James
Henry Moser the president of the Wash

result of an impression, the next as
the outcome of serious and searching

students to sketch persistently, to arm

Then he put into reality a dream to inn

native Switzerland. Soon he was bringing
over all kinds of embroderies, and tho
name of the firm became known all over
the country.
A bad debt forced him to take some
mines near Leadville. Col. Two of his sons

could be made to yield a big profit. Like

Eventually the family shifted to New
York and the American Smelling and Re-

They have offices on the eighth floor Of

as the National Gallery Of Art, the custody

recent ruling of the Attorney General in
the recent case Of the Harriet Lane john
