monds and pearls in all England. but
only her intimates seem to know that
she also owns several parrots.
This amounts to more than It may

mage and are. moreover, all Of them
coaversationalists. One will make a
remark. the next will answer. A third
may contradict; but then there are a
fourth and q fifth, and one Of these

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL ARTS,
The Application of Higher Training
to Trade Is Everywhere
Apparent.

Consul G~oldschmidt, Of Nantes, con-
tributes an extended article on indus
trial art education in France and its
influence upon French Industries. He
says in part:
"Th2Tc are at present in France,
aside from the national art schools.
20n provincial and municipal schools
Of fine arts. wr'"h are free to young
men and women. While leaving to
each school the development OF the
line of art suited to local needs. the
state gives direction by annual visits
Of inspectors Of drawing. The applica-
ton to trade is practical and complete.
The administration of fine arts So
lects and sends the greater part OF the
models useful to instruction, gives
prizes, scholarships, purses n en-
couragemcnt TO pupils who have dis
tinguished themselves during their
course of studies. The influence of ar
tistic training upon the industries OF
France is paramount, and the ordinary
observer is Sick at nee when eN-
aiming an article In the French shops
OF home manufacture of its superiority
over similar goods made in other coun-
tries. II one visits an art gallery or a
museum in France on Sunday, the
great interest of the working people
may be Witnessed in the arts and
sciences. 4 conversation with these
workers reveals n general interest OF
general application"
