FREE THINKERS DAUGHTER
 A NUN
Sensation In Paris Over An nouncement That Child of Most Pronounced Atheist Will Take the Veil Shortly.
Special Cable to Review)
 By Henri Dubois.

PARIS. June S.-A curious sensa- tion has been caused here by the an nouncement that the daughter of M. Jaures, the famous Socialistleader, Is about to take the veil. Thenews has thrown a bomb into the camps alike of the clerical and the Socialist party.
 Jaures, the redouhtable Socialist, is one of the most determined free thinkers in France, and as the leader of his party and the editor of the ~Hu- manite," he has, although he attacked Clemenceau the other day in the Chamber-as. indeed, he is frequently doing-been foremost in the fray against the Radical party.
 Nevertheless. the women of his household-his wife, mother-in-law and daughter are all pioHs Catholics of a somewhat austere and mystical type. Madame Jaures fully approves her daughters intention to follow religious vocation, in fact, the Social ist's wife herself has resolved to re- tire and devote the rest of her life to more or less strict regimen of medi- tation and devotion.
 Among the great art exhigitions that are going to take place in Paris during the coming summer, one is to receive the very august patronage of the Emperor William himself and the Czar of all the Russias.
 This is the exhibition of works by the two greatest of the artists known as the French little masters--Honore Fragonard and Chardin, which will open here next week.
 Ever since the sale of the Cronier pictures eighteen months ago, when Fragonard's Billet doux' was bought after a spirited contest for America. at d price hitherto unprecedented for eighteenth century work, even in cluding Watteau Works by Fragon- ard. Chardin and their contemporaries have gone up by leaps and bounds in public esteem.
 Now even apart from the charm, of the pictures themselves, the com ing exhibition is to have a send-off that very few picture shows get It is a sign of our democratic times that the autOcrats of the world are willing ! to lend their artistic treasurers for the delectation of the multitude. Kaiser Wilhelm possesses three specimens of the work of Chardin, and he has promised to lend them all to the Paris exhibition, the immediate excuse for which is the commemora- ton of Fragonard's bi-centenary. Emperor Nicholas will also lend
 several frames he already contributed ! to the exhibition Of Russian pictures in the Spring. and other loaners are
