flash of genius that blazed. sputtered.
flashed and went out; a veritable flash
in the pan. A beautiful woman, whose
restless soul was like dove in a del
uge, with no resting place for, the
soles of its feet The picture shows

mourning dress of light. soft texture.
that hangs with cruel severity about
form that too nearly inclines to the
stout to be graceful or artistic.
Can this be the young girl who fit
ted across the Southern heavns with
such tragic splendor for little mo-
ment-this stout matronly looking wo-
man? 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
E. in the cold, posed features, as plain
as the letters on dial the story OF
Annette ttIVeS. Inc soul OF the dTtlSC is
seemingly dead as summer dust The
picture is the wife of a man who sup
plies her with chops and toast and
coffee Looking at the sweet, appeal
ing face of the girl of Virginia and
then at the countenance of Prince
Troubetskoy's wife you will uncon-
sciously Iut to it the question:: Did

And while you ask 1t, you will be
wondering what madame east that she
grows so stout. That is all that the
face or figure suggests"
