A Combination

Large hats in mole-gray straw are
being trimmed round the high crowns
with soft satin draperies in a viviC
shade of sapphire blue, and finished
on one side with full panache Of
sapphire blue ostrich feathers, while
among the newest wings and quilts
are those which are composed OF
very short ostrich tips, tightly curled
and set very closely together. They
are arranged upon a stiff foundation
of plumage, SO that seen from a
little distance, they have all the APP
pearance of the more ordinary wings
and quilts of natural construction.
Hats with wide straw brims, and
with crowns which are composed en-
tirely of flowers, enjoy a considerable
vogue. They are particularly pretty
when they are arranged with waved
brims of fine Leghorn or black crino
line and crowns of purple and pale
yellow pansieS, or again of shaded
roses, surrounded by gray-green fol-
iage.

NEW YORK, June Every long
full ostrich feathers grouped together
sometimes to the number Of eight
or nine upon the one hat, will form
a favorite trimming in the case of
millinery which is intended for smart
occasions.
The grouping of these long plumes,
so that they give a picturesque eff
feet, without running the risk OF
making the hat appear to be top heavy
is no easy tack. Once achieved,
however, the game is eminently
worth the candle, since there are few,
if any, hats that are more generally
becoming than the large picture
shapes in gathered esprit, net either
white or black, the brims formed
partly of net and partly of straw, aod
the crowns half-hidden under droop-
ing ostrich feathers.

By ELIZABETH BROWNELL

1t is hardly exaggeraton to say that Jean Leon
Gerome has generally been regarded by his con-
temporaries quite as much classic in art are
many of his pictures in subject
The antique and the East have made the fame
of the great French painter, perhaps, and he has
done more to make familiar to the popular mind
the large and small functions and daily life of
Rome and Greece in classic times than any other
artist.
And pupils and followers, not imtators, he has
had in greater number, perhaps, than any modern
painter. Among the familiar are Frederick
A. Bridgman, the American and Charles Bargue,
the Frenchman The latter died insane about ff-
teen years ago, leaving behind a small number of
works. These yearly advance in value, equalling
in price those of his master which in technical
dexterity and briancy they surpass. Gerome,
most admirable of craftsmen, is rather cold In
the quality of his work and at times, trife too
sculptured, and even wooden; but these charac-
terstics not as pronounced in his works with

modern Eastern subjects, where his color is often
exquisite as in his earlier classical productions.
The famous pupil of Paul Dearoche was born
in May, 1924, at Vesoul, in the Department OF the
Upper Soane. He was, for close on thirty years
a member of the Academy of Fine Arts, having
been elected in 1865, in place of Francois Joseph
Helm, native of Belfort, pupil of Vincent and
an almost forgotten historical painter whose Ar
rival of Jacob in Mesopotamia' is at Bordeaux,
while his Battle of Rocroy' appears at Yer
sailles
Gerome first exhibited at the Scion in 1S47.
and was professor of painting at the Beaux Arts
for well over quarter OF century. HIS nrst
fame was made in 1847 with little Cock Fight
exhibited under the title of "Jeunes Grecs Excl
tant des Coqs." Other works he showed In that
year. and in 1S4S, were Of more conventional pat
tern, such as THE Virgin" "The Child Jesus and
ST. john" and "Anacreon, Bacchus and Love-"
Soon the painter began to exhibit that skill as
a restorer of antique, that yearly increasing grasp
of archaeology which has done so much for MS
fame 1t is we'll said by Jules Claretie that ne
not at all certain M. Gerome did not deserve

differing from prisons. The rough adventures
through which they passed and the hardships to
which they exposed themselves renewed their
youth and kept them lovely far beyond middle
age.
They toed in felucca sailors from Naples
to Marseilles, faced storms, hung out all sail to
escape from Algerian pirates and were so Drowned
by sun sea-air and work that the officers of the
Roman Inquisition, who boarded the craft to cap

them down to the hold.
The Duchess Mazarin rode from Plymouth to
London dressed as man. She and Nell Gwynn,
as Florimel in "The Maiden Queen" brought mems
clothes into fashion at the Court of Whitehall.
But in the seventeenth century masculine clothing
was as sumptuous and ornate as that of the fine
ladies.

attire is of this description. In more civilized
lands and circles there are cases where no vulgar
desire for notorety has been the motive. Rosa
Bonheur had to go to fairs to make studies for
her cattle and to wander afeld unaccompan1ed.
Hence her choice of the French laborer's blue
smock, cap and trousers.
Sarah Bernhardt's mannish garments in her
studio are a part of her pay-acting and self
advertising 1t may be that she is aware she
never looked so charming as years ago in the part
of an Italian boy-a vagrant musician. The sim
plicity of masculine clothes-made in black velvet,
and, the whole effeminate-must be pleasant
change after the clinging draperies with the
weighty trains and box plaitngs, which make her
rustic like a snake in fallen autumn leaves when
she advances the stage.
Sometimes it is not only convenient but the
part of decency for girls to don the garb OF their

they had not disguised themselves as French gen.

ances of yeSternight are so no longer. 1t is a
cold, early morning in winter, in the snowcovered
Bots de Boulogne, after ball at the opera
carriage with it's tired horses and men, waits in
the distance. In the foreground Pierrot is dying
with his sword in his hand, and blood staining his
grotesque suit of white, with huge sleeves and
saucer buttons. His American Indian adversary
is walking away with harlequin his second,
giving little thought to the tragedy and much to
the day Limp in the of his Henry ". sec
onds and other friends, stretches poor Pierrot
careless of the anxious looks bent on him. 1t is
all over, or just about to be- There is little ques
ton of that and the cause, word or woman
perhaps both, is forgotten by everyone 1t is here
that M. Gerome shows himself romantic poet
Little that is finer of their kind than the two
groups of the foreground, with their extreme con-
trasts of action and sentiment can be found in
contemporary art.
Gerome studied with Delaroche from 1S41 to
1874 and finally followed his master to Italy. On
his return he was for short time with the even
colder and had almost said, more classic Gleyre,
whom he left to return to Delaroche Inc
latter gave him his first layout to do on MS pic
ture of "Charlemagne Crossing the Alps. HIS
cock fighting picture brought him his hrst medal,
and the second one came in the following year from
"Anacreon Making Bacchus and Love Dance In
1854, in company with his longtime friend, M Got
of the Cemedie FRANCHISE, the painter made "Trip
to Constantinope, up the Danube TO MoraVla, ana
finally to Moscow, where he found subject which
appeared at the Salon of the next year with The
Age of Augustus" namely, "The Band OF Rus
sian Regiment" He made several voyages to the
East, to Egypt Syria Judea and Arabia Petra.
For his sculptures M. Gerome has won the fol-
lowing recompenses: At the Universal display, in
1875 when he showed in that department groups
.1oIso t4 md Of Ann
Love-" a medal of the second class, and at the
Salon of 1881, when he displayed the latter again,
a medal of the first class.
In 1856 on the occasion of the Paris Universal
Expostion he was made chevalier of the Legion
of Honor. At the Exposition of 1867 he was made
officer and at that of 1878 commander.

1t is curious that while in the East the fair

The Alpine women, accustomed and compelled
to climb and descend, often with heavy burdens

world-Famous Journalist Dies In
Cincinnati.
One of the leaders In American jour-

man widely known as magazine and
editorial writer died in Cincinnati re
Gently when Murat Halstead passed
away. He was one of the most noted
writer's of the last half of the nine
teenth century and one Of the strong
est tributes to his incisiveness as q
writer was in 1889, when his nomina,
ton by President Harrison to be Amer
lean minister to Germany was reject
ed by the United States Senate because
of articles he had published charging
corruption to some members of that
body. In the Civil War Mr.. Halstead
personally reported many battles, be-
ing rated as war correspondent OF
the first class. Later In the Franco
German war and also in the Spanish
American war he added to his reputa-
ton in that line.
For fifty years he attended and re-
ported all Republican national cOnven-
tions, and in 1860 he was the only
man who reported all the
