A HAM AND BACON soLILooUY.

Or to take up arms against them and

And by opposing smash them? To diet

OF sentinel, aiming his rife:

WOMAN IN BUSINESS.

From my work have become con-
WINGED that because a woman achiev-
es financial and mental independence.
II by no means follows that she need
lose whit OF her feminine perceptions
and refinements, says Eleanor ID.
Richardson. AS | think over the long
list of splendid women OF all ages and
conditions whom | have known in the
business world il seems TO me IL would
be difficult to find an equal number
Of women i'm any sphere Of life who
possess more of the spirit of true
womanliness. And by true womanli-
ness | mean not alone nobility of char
acter, but all those dainty personali-
ties of mind, body and soul which are
and always win be the everlasting JOY
and distinction OF the true woman.
There comes to my mind in this con-
nection a certain gentlewoman OF my
acquaintance who for over twenty
years has worked in the office of a GER
tain concern, and though her work is
essentially masculine in its nature, and
her days are passed entirely among
men, / never knew gentler or more
delicate personality than hers. Vio-
let's. which she keeps always on her
desk. are quite as fitting to her in the
environments Of an office as they
would be had she never passed out of
the luxurious surroundings of her
youth.

GREAT DUTCH PAINTER
Halls Long Out Of Fashion When He
Died in Poorhouse.

Died in Poorhouse.
When Franz Halls. the patrician
painter Of Haarlem, died at a great
age i'm an almhouse in his native
town, he had long been out of fash
ion. He had enjoyed success during
his active period. and the wonderful
portrait groups of respectable burgh-
ers and members Of various civic glory
OF Harlem show that he did not lack
public recognition. He was, indeed
the comrade Of those prosperous men.
But the general estimation placed him
below many inferior painters, and in
the course of the following centuries
he was almost forgotten. 1t is really
only within our own time that his
actual mastery has been recognized.
His name stands now, with that of
Rembrandt, at the head Of the great
list of Dutch painters, and his works
command as high prices from collec-
tors as those of Rembrandt, or Velas-
quez or of Titan. Indeed, the $780,
900 said TO have been paid by a New
York banker for his picture him.
self and his family is believed to be
the highest price ever given for
single painting. 1t is a sum beyond
the dreams not only of Halls himself,
but of all the comfortable gentlemen
in black clothes and white iruffs and
blue ribbons who were his patrons.
AS prices go nowadays, this is not
unreasonable. If Franz Halls did not
attain the highest summit, his place
is surely with the highest, and it was
he who, as Bode we'll said. raised
pie rendering Of the likeness of an
individual into the region of great art.
While his portraits are individual they
are transfused with his own individ-
uality. with the strength, the style, the
vitality. They are the most imposing
character OF the men who made the
great history of the Netherlands.
No doubt there is some elements of
fashionable caprice in the eagerness
with which his works are sought by
rich collectors. The great pictures in
the Dulcn Bdlieiles anu III olhSi PupiiS
collections in Europe are not access
ible. and really fine Halls does not
often come into the market. When 1t
does. it is worth precisely as much as
IL will bring--as much, that Is ,as
anybody who has money enough is
willing to give for it.
1t is probable that in the course OF
time the best examples of this as of
other Dutch masters, at least outside
of Holland, will be found in this coun-
try, and it ma be hoped that eventu-
ally most of them will be seen in pub
lie galleries. This is one of the many
ways i'm which our rich men are serv-
ing their day and generation and the
generations yet to come.-Philadel-

REM0DELING STORE FRONTS
AND BUILDING RESIDENCES

Contractor Erik Anderson yester-
day began work upon the remodehng
OF the interior of the Metz store i'm
the Scott block, which is to be ar.
ranged to form one large department
for mems and boys clothing and fur

city and convenience of the place.
Numerous other local buildings are
being remodeled or have such changes
projected for them by their owners

started by Contractor Wallace getting
the paraphernalia ready for tho
raising Of the Pearce building, the
