Made -Giverny Famous.
Giverny is a hamlet of some $50 in
habitants, struggling along an I'M
shaded road on the edge of Normandy.
The first American painter to invade
Giverny was the late Theodore Robin
son. In his trail came a troop of
American amazons, who overran and
at one time threatened the artistic
death of Giverny. With the passing
of this American invasion came the
MacMonnieses The sculptor bought
a picturesque old monastery, which
his consummate art and taste convert
ed into an ideal studio home. Its ter
race garden and fountain, with its
single tiny spray falling unsteady into
a fiower-encircled basin, is famous
throughout France. 1t set the pace
for every garden in Giverny, it
bloomed from salon canvases and was
the subject of a magazine article from
the pen of William H. Low. There is
a white balustrade overlooking the
fountain and there are walks bordered
with white and red geraniums, Mrs.
MacMonnies favorite flower, and
gorgeous beds of dahlias. The ballus-
trade is decorated with miniature
replicas of MacMonnies' most famous
statues, including the Bacchanal that
was rejected by the Boston public Ii
brary as immoral, only to be given
place of honor in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the museum of
the Brooklyn institute.
Rift in Life's HAPPINESS,
In this home, hung to-day with tap
estries worthy of a museum and rich
in treasures from Spain. were born
the MacMonnies children-two lovely
girls and boy. The death of the lat
ter in infancy was the first great grief
of this artist pair. The girls, Bessie
and Peggy, now grown to II and Ia
years, are dainty as miniature paint
ings, having inherited their fathers
blond coloring.
Giverny has fewer than fifty rented
houses. Boudy inn houses the timer
ate artist, the only wayfarer who tar
ries in the village. To this inn some
four or five summers ago came Miss
Alice Jones. Miss Jones' artistic life
began in Paris with vocal study, which
she abandoned for sculpture After
studying in several Paris studios. she
came to Mr.. MacMonnies. To the
latter's genius she Immediately sue
cumbed, declaring everywhere that he
was the equal if not the superior of
Michelangelo-
Being the daughter of great wealth.
Miss Jones bought farmhouse, which
she converted into a studio, pursuing
her studies under Mr.. MacMonnies'
instruction Miss Jones is fond of
outdoor sport, excelling in tennis and
fencing. She was the only woman in
Giverny who attended the fencing
club. Mr.. MacMonnies is an expert
fencer. Physically Miss Jones is petite,
with beautiful dark hair and eyes Alb
rupt of speech, she delights to startle
her auditors and rarely fails Mrs
MacMonnies, always the gracious
hostess, frequently entertained Miss
Jones at her studio teas. Before COM

Following so close upon the mar
riage of the sculptor's divorced wife. a
pail ter who has won prizes in the
Paris salon, to William H. Low, one of
Americas foremost mural decorators,
this wedding is sort of second
climax to this drama of art and hearts.
Mr.. MacMonnies and Miss Jones are
about to be married in Rome Mr..
Low and Mrs. MacMonnies were mar
ried in Paris last November.
The MacMonnies romance antedates
the Paris exposition of 1889. From
the Art Students league and Saint
Gaudens' studio in New York Fred
erick MacMonnies, who was born in
Brooklyn in 1868, went to Paris to
study in the ateliers of Falguiere and
Mercier. Rich in talent, poor in purse,
in the full flush of youth and health
and of striking blond beauty, his was
the joy of life when he met Mary
Fafrchild in the American colony in
the Latin quarter. This charming
girl, of New England birth. bent upon
becoming a great painter, was no rich
er or poorer than her sculptor lover.
Hers was the dusky, gypsy type of
beauty. From New Hampshire in
early childhood she had gone with her
parents to New Orleans and thence
to ST. Louis Talent for art devel-
oped early. Having no money to pur-
sue its study, she enrolled in the
free night school of the ST. Louis Art
museum. The first year she captured
all the prizes. This uncommon feat
attracted the attention of the director
and Mary Fairchild was soon en-
ployed as a teacher in the museums

Happy Pair, Though Poor.
In the love of the handsome blond
sculptor Mary Fairchild's dreams

famous art critic, found them Struck
by their picturesque youth and prime
val abandon, ignorant of their names
or aspirations, he gave them several
paragraphs in a descriptive article of
the exposition, and this was widely
quoted by French journals. Three
years later MacMonnies was famous,

Serious Accident Early in Morn-

Season at Somerville.
LAD BEHIND CORNSTACK
SOUNDED LIKE ANIMAL
Both Were in Duck Swamp
Waiting for Squirrels to
Come Out of Woods.
Especial to the Newark STAR

SOMERvILLE, Oct. 15.-With the
opening of the cunning season here
today 16-year-old Walter Conover. who
had been mistaken for a squirrel in
the dim light OF the early morning by
Jacob Schenck, carpenter. was
brought in from the woods to the office
of DIR. William H. Long. badly shot in
the body and legs
Young Conover worked for Gilbert
Hoffman, a farmer. Before daybreak
he went to the edge of Duck swamp,
adjoining the estate of James B. Duke.
where he concealed himself behind a
cornstack with his gun. He was wait
ing for the squirrels to come out of
the woods and feed on the corn in
the stack.
Schenck, who had also learned the
habits of the Duck swamp squirrels,
was out early for game. He heard the
boy move behind the cornstack and
believed 1t to be squirrels. He fired
into the stack with the idea Of start
ing the squirrels, and the load of shot
lodged in the body of the boy con-
cealed back of the cornstack.
Conover is now in the Somerset Hos
pital. 1t is feared some of the shot
which penetrated his abdomen may re-
suit fatally.

AUTO|ST PUTS UP
$1,000 CASH BAIL;
FAILS TO APPEAR
AIsworth Meddekraff, Plainfield
Broker, Arrested for Speed-
ing After Long Chase.

Tearing, through the streets in the
south end of the city yesterday at a
fifty mile-an-hour clip in large tour
ing car, Alsworth Meddlekraff, As years
old, New York broker, residing in
Plainfield, was arrested at the junction
of Clinton and Elizabeth avenue by
Policemen Brady and Linderman. He
was charged with xceeding the speed
limits. He put up $1,000 cash bail, and
today when the case was called in the
First Precinct Court the broker failed
to put in an appearance, and Judge
Hahn adjourned the case for one week.
The police are determined to make
an example of the speeder. It required
four hours chase by Bicycle Police
man Linderman before he was arrest
ed The police in other precincts were
also looking for the speeder. The police
further charge that he was under the
influence of liquor while terrifying
pedestrians in the southern section of
the city.
Meddlekraff pulled into n garage in
Clinton avenue for a fresh supply of
gasoline at noon yesterday, and two
chauffeurs, George Grimm, of 1856
Brunswick street, and Charles Ferri-
day, of 40 Brunswick street, volun-
teered to operate the car and take the
broker home, but he refused the offer,
saying he was out having good time,
and didn't want to go home.
They noticed the mileage registered
on his spedometer and an hour later
when he was arrested it showed that
he had covered more than fifty miles.
The police have several witnesses to
back up their complaint.

twenty minutes. Hundreds of people
on their way to work left the stalled
cars and finished the rest of the jour-
ney on foot When several conductors
and motormen dragged the bleeding
horse from the tracks by hauling on the
animals tail, several women among the
spectators cried in horror, and men re-
monstrated with the railway employees
for adding to the horses suffering.
