which has been converted into a
studio by Mr.. F. F. Millet, is now
the scene of great activity. With
six or seven assistants-young men from
New York and Baltimore who are study
ing art-Mr. Millet is now painting the
large canvases which are to cover the CELL
Ing OF the audience room in the Baltimore
custom house. This ceiling is about sixty
1eet long by thirty feet wide, and the
canvases which are to cover it are made
in only four sections Two of them are
larger than the others, but when they are
in place they will be. SO cleverly joined
that no seams will appear. These were
blocked in last week and are now hung
upon huge frames for more detailed treat
ment. They are of a heavy. coarse can
vas. which was specially prepared. at the
studio, and they have been executed step
by step with the utmost care. The course
of procedure is interesting. At first small
experimental studies were made-not one,
but many-until design which prom
ised to give complete satisfaction was
evolved. The decorations of the Call
Hail. as 1t is designated, collectively set
forth the history Of shipping from the
earliest days In the worlds record to the
present time. and the scheme for the cell
ing embraces realistic representations OF
sailing craft % various descriptions
brought into a harmonious single compost
ton. 1t is daring proposition. but it is
being worked out with excellent effect.
The great ships. some of which are twelve
feet from fore topsail to water line. are
seen against a>partly clouded sky on a
gray-blue stretch of water. After the
preliminary sketches and studies were
made then the big canvases were blocked
off in squares about a foot In size and
with this guidance the drawing was made.
Then came the painting. and with the
canvases fiat on the floor the first coat
was put on, the painters walking over the
untouched surface and literally backing
away from their work as 1t progressed.
When the sky and the water were laid In

then the rigging was picked out. every
rope and spar being reproduced with con-
summate care. After that the canvases
were ready to be swung on the frames. in
to be finished bit by bit. In each detail
of the decorations for this hall the utmost
effort has been made to insure accuracy.
Resort has been made to many sources
and much historical data Of great value
has been brought to light. Indeed, some
interesting discoveries have been made
and fallacies uncovered. Artists and IL
Illustrators have, it is found. allowed
themselves an extra amount Of license in
depicting ships. and all the chroniclers
likewise cannot be depended upon. In
the early histories of the American col
onies. for instance. the same cut was In
troduced indiscriminately to illustrate the
ship used by the Pilgrims and the Vir-
ginia. settlers. One type of vessel was
found on an old Greek coin and others
have been transcribed from equally as
unusual examples.
The ceiling decoration is the largest
and most important painting, but the
panels in the cove. the decorative borders
above and below. and even the little
spandrels have all been carefully planned
and made to serve definite purposes. They
are more conventional. the ships being
seen almost in silhouette on either fiat
blue or green ground. The trees and
plants which are Indigenous to the soil
of Maryland have also been utilized In
the scheme of decoration. being resolved
into types and brought into relationship
with the sculptured holdings. It is Inn
possible to Judge Of great work of this
kind until it is complete. but there Is
every reason to believe that the result
will be satisfactory. Throughout the
decorative purpose OF the work has been
kept we'll in mind and from first to last
simplicity has been the watchword. A
new phase of decorative painting Is pre-
sented. and one. 1t would seem, which
might well be emulated
Mr.. Millet has already. It will be remem-
bered, done distinguished work in this
field. He was director OF decoration, as
well. by the way, as director Of functions,

has not given all OF his time to mural
decoration-he has painted portraits and
genres. and is represented in the Metro
politan Museums permanent collection.
in the National Gallery of British Art;
London. and the National Gallery of New
Zealand by easel pictures. But all OF
this does not begin to cover the entire
field of his activity. There is no one
who knows better how to squeeze extra
hours out of a. day than he. and none who
has wider interests. With wonderful IA
cility and endless enthusiasm he, has at
tanned eminence in not one, but many
lines Of endeavor. some of which 1t might
seem were not strictly akin to art. Mr.
Millet was born In Mattaposett, Mass. in
1916. and graduated from Harvard in
1859. after which he studied art at the
Royal Academy, Antwerp. His college
course had, however, been preceded by
a military campaign. for when the civil
war was fought Mr.. Millet went as a
drummer in the Goth Regiment Of Massa-
chusetts Volunteers. and later served as
assistant contract surgeon in the Army
OF the Potomac. Perhaps this gave him
taste for warfare. for twice. at least. he
has since laid aside his artistic career to
witness or take part In q great conflict Of
arms. He was the correspondent of the
New York Herald. London Daily News
and London Graphic in the Russo-Turkish
war in 1878. and special correspondent
for the London Times and Harpers
Weekly at Manila in 1893 From the
Russian government he has received the
Roumanian Iron Cross, and from other
countries he has been given decorations.
He has made experiments in horticulture.
he has in q case OF emergency served as
a surgeon, he has written books. made
translations and. delivered lectures-in
fact. there seems to be little or nothing
that he has not done. He Is q National
Academician. member OF the Institute Of
Painters In OIL Colors. London. and of the
National Society Of the Fine Arts. as we'll
as secretary OF the American Academy
at Rome. In addition to his studio here
he has one In New York and another In

Street Courtesies.

An old custom that has entirely passed
into oblivion is that of a man and girl
walking arm and arm in the street. For
merly it was an essential to politeness
that a man should offer his arm as soon
as the two left the house.
Now to do so Is called Country" and
only when occasion arises that woman
needs mans protection in the street dur
ing the evening Is 1t necessary for him to
offer his arm or permissible for a woman
to accept 1t. He should not feel hurt
should it be refused, for many women
find it easier to walk alone, keeping close
to the escort.
In any crowd such as may gather before
an entrance to building or a station the
woman should step in front Of the man.
not try to keep beside him. 1t Is his place
then to guard her from any roughness or
pressure from others-fn a word, to make
her going easy while he, acts as guard.
1t is the wonan's privilege always to
bow first to a man, and unless she does
SO 1t is the height of rudeness for him to
recognize her. There Is no exception to
this CUSTOM for in it lies the woman's
right to protect herself from undesirable
acquaintances: the theory being that
though she has met the man before. and
perhaps even talked with him. she was
obliged to do SO because of the situation.
and takes the first opportunity Of show
ing him she does not wish to continue the
acquaintance. -
When two women meet in the street it
is for the older to bow first. The younger
must wait for recognition and keep on
her way silently. II she does not get it.
This, however is an elastic. rule, for the
younger woman may always feel that the
older has not seen her. and unless the cut
is obviously meant as rebuke. may re-
call herself to the older woman.
Men do not, as rule. take OF their hats
to each other except when being intro
duced by women. The courtesy then is
directed toward the ladies. 1t Is consid-
erd good form for a man to remove his hat
when bowling to clergyman. the tribute

Little girls. when greeting an older per-
son must make curteey. This is taught
IN all good schools and It Is no longer con-
sidered enough for children to bow.
The curtsey Is repeated when leaving.

The approaching dual celebration of
the tercentennial Of Henry Hudson s
discovery OF the river bearing his name
and the centennial of Robert Fulton's
application of steam to navigation on
that same stream makes timely the
production of this volume. The gener-
alton of old river men who could throw

gather together at this time all that

or it will be irretrievably lost. The
