Born In Lowell Mass. the son Of an

Of his boyhood in st. Petersburg. Russia,
where HIS father resided some years In
an Official capacity. He was sent to
West Point, but was dismissed because of
a difference with his professor of chem
istry; was appointed to position on the
coast survey and lived for some time In
this city. From here he went to Paris

jorfty Of the exhibits have been loaned
by Charles L. Freer from the collection
which is to eventually become the prop

in this city in a gallery erected for the
purpose. Thus to thoee who visit this
exhibition a foretaste is given OF good
things to come. There are several full

a group Of paste3s peculiarly significant
and charming.
THE Whistler exhibition in New York
