across the southern heavens with such tragic splendor for little moment-this stout matronly looking woman? But the greatest change of all is in the face; there you will see, not alone the passing of the artist, the passing of the girl. but you will read in the cold, posed features. as plain as the letters on dial the story of Amelie Rives. The soul of the artist is seemingly dead as summer dust. The picture is the wife of a man who supplies her with chops and toast and coffee. Looking at the sweet. appealing face of the girl of Virginia and then at this countenance of Prince Troubetskoy' s wife you will unconsciously put to it the question: Did it pay, Amelie? Did it pay?"
 Ard while you ask it, you will be wondering what madame eats that she grows so stout. That is all that the face or figure suggests.
