OF this fountain ST. Gaudens said:

than that No one who was at the

ever forget it. There had been worlds

Mr.. MacMonnies has cherished his
dream and kept the models. They are
now in the atelier at Giverny At con-
siderable cost he has preserved them,
and friends say, now that he is coming
back to this country, the hope that he
has cherished will be fulfilled; his am

Surely, too, here is an opportunity
for some great patron Of the arts to
link his name with Fame, for Mr.. Mac

that has gained not only the highest

New Sport is Enlisting increasing In.

Sex" Even In
America.


II there has been any doubt as to
woman's love of daring il is fast being
1ispelled by the enthusiasm with
which she is entering the field of
aerial navigation.
Swimming, boating, automobiling,
all these have become tame in the es-
TEEN of the modern daughter OF Eve,
who is never so happy as when she is
defying the laws of safety.
The transit of the air, new science,
a new sensation, gives her just the
JOY she needs, and the thrill of dang
ling from the swaying wicker basket
at the end of huge gas bag is the
last word in enjoyment.
In fact, the fair aeronaut has not
stopped at ballooning.
She has even advanced a step fur
Their in her enjoyment of mans new
est means of transit.
She has even essayed the aeroplane,
on which experts are now working in
hope OF producing practical means
by which mankind and womankind
may emulate the flight of the birds,
and give the final laugh to gravity.
Only few days ago Nine Therese
Pelltier, young sculptress OF merit,
gained herself the distinction OF be
ing the first woman to master the
aeroplane.

tinguished French navigator, who re-
Gently, accompanied by his spouse
spent some time in this country is a
woman who has figured in a number
OF noted flights.
In a number of cities clubs of wom-
en- aeronauts are being formed, and
the ambition of all their members is
to go one step further in daring than
the sister members.
Among the first American women
who were permitted to go up as guests
of the aero club were Mrs. Newbold
Edgar and Mrs. CORTLAND Bishop.
Without showing the least sign of
concern they went up in the air, far
above Paris. and reveled in the joys
of that which is said TO outclass every
form of riding for luxurious comfort.
Both became so enthusiastic that on
their return to the United States they

Julian p. Thomas.
But the French woman is not con-
tent now merely to go along as the
guest of some member of the club, or
TO make an ascent with the balloon
under control of some professional
pilot.
Now the great ambition of the gen
tier sex is TO operate the balloon them
selves.
Nine. Durcouf and Mile. Cache were
the first women to succeed in actually
making such trip.
II was with deep trepidation, and
not until after the operation of the
balloon was demonstrated TO them
many times. that they were allowed to
rise above an awe stricken crowd in
Paris and start journey that lasted
four hours.
II was too uneventful trip, the two
frail .aeronauts said, to merit any spe-
cial mention. They got up all right,
the balloon acted properly, the winds
were CALAMITY kind, and they made a
fiawless descent.
