was trimmed with a five-inch band
cut with the stripes running around
the skirt. The corsage had the fronts
crossing over in surplice fashion, and
three large buttons of white flannel
with rims of brown were used as dec
grafton. The under-b1ouse was of
sheer embroidery, and there was a
smart little tie of brown liberty
satin, which added much to the effect
of the costume.

An equal appeal to the Humane soci-
ETY. and it's sympathizers and lovers
of art is made by the magnificent
painting, Brutality, which is being
shown at Crosby Brothers store for a
limited period. The painting is the
| work of John Douglas Patrick, Mis-
souri, artist, who after number OF
years in Paris has been appointed in
| structor in the Fine Arts Institute OF
| Kansas City and won a medal in the
Paris exposition of 1899. 1t is now the
property of Mr.. ]. Logan Jones of Kan
! sas City and was on exhibition for a
numDer OF months at the Jones Dry
! Goods company of Kansas City From
| there it was brought to Topeka by Mr.
George Barlow Penny who hopes the
/ proceeds of it's exhibition here will pay
| the deficit on the art exhibit held at
| the high school two years ago.
| The story of the picture is one OF
| intense interest. Twenty-Five years age
| the artist, Mr.. Patrick, was a pooI
| student in Paris at the end of his fin
ancial resources. One day in the streets
of the French capital, where there was
4 at that time not single humane law
and no protection against mans in
humanity to the lower animals. he saw
| the sight which inspired this great
| painting-a human brute beating q
wretched horse hitched to a Wagon
| loaded with stone. An Indifferent
| crowd looked brutally on but the Amer.
| lean student could not endure the
scene quietly so he rushed into the
street and interfered. Then he went
to his studio burning with the idea
4 which the scene had given him-ths
| purpose to paint great picture which
should arouse Paris to a sense of the
wrongs daily done mans good friend
