scuIptors to Decorate the Capitol.


Art circles were much interested in
the news that the United States gov.
eminent has officially recognized the
National Sculpture society by asking
IT to name ten of its number who
would be in a position to undertake
a group for the pediment Of the north
wing OF the capitol building in Wash
ington. The pediment never has been
ornamented, and the library commit
tee of the house of representatives,
which has 1t in charge, is making
every effort to see that the proposed
group shall be one of highest artistic
merit. The following sculptors were
placed on the list: Paul w. Bartlett.
H. A. macNeil, A A. Weipman, Rich.
ard E. Brooks, Isidore Konti, Charles

so years in building is one of the mod
ern marvels. The task Of reconstruct.
ing the city has been far greater
than to construct a new city on virgin
ground. Former generations OF men,
lacking modern tools, would have been
staggered by the mere clearing away
of gigantic debris. There have been
hampering circumstances, scarcity and
dearness of labor and building mate
rial. The enthusiastic sense of har-
mony and cooperation between all
classes that prevailed Immediately aft
er the disaster was gradually replaced
by the normal struggles between indi-
yidual interests. and, for example, the
dream Of a city beautiful, built on a
single plan, could not be realized.
In spite of everything, San Fran
cisco to-day is the same in one impor-
tant sense as she was before the earth
trembled and the flames ragged. Al
though only one-third of the structures
destroyed have been replaced, these
are so much greater in their proper
lions than their predecessors that the
present floor space is about equal to
all the floor space annihilated. Ten
thousand buildings, representing a
value of s100,000,OO are either COM
plete or nearly constructed. After this,
whatever is done will be largely in
the nature of surplus development on
areas handily cleared for q newer and

what l needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.

about it. So l got package and care

coffee and got the nourlshment l need

"My wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles

1T is a common cause of complaint

In particular, that they cannot let them

The Ladys Pictorial. ''There is nothing
SO good for the individuals spirits and
the nations gayety as to be childish on

best means to this end is to don domin-

trumpets, dance in the open air, and SO
on. In England we do none of these
things and, so we are told, more's the
pity.
Desperate efforts are now being made
to correct this mistake on our part. Lon
don is now gay city; we are making
the most of our restaurants, the cafe is
creeping into favor, we are no longer SO
chary about decorating our houses and
making brave show when we get a
chance of organizing a procession.
There are signs and tokens that the
carnival spirit hovers over us. The art
lists fancy ball idea has been warmly
taken up, the roller skating carnival at
Olympia, to whom none are admitted
who are not in fancy dress, has found
favor in the sight of the public, and this
year the restaurants made merry at Mar
di Gras dinners.
by all means let US make more of
Shrove Tuesday. 1t is a day for frivol-
ling across the channel Let us frivol
here. We have seen how the Christmas
parties organized by foreign managers
of our big hotels are enjoyed by the
stolid English, and without doubt if we
are shown how to keep Shrove Tuesday
in continental fashion we shall not now

learning the pleasures and ignoring the
Stiffness and childishnes of dressing up

Both were discussing what they should

lack of reply did not squelch the inquir-
