Dolls and Artificial Flowers
Which Change Color

The principal uses OF cobalt In the
United states are in making glass and
pottery. A beautiful blue Is given to
GLASS by the oxide of cobalt. Sympa-
thotic inks, according To report OF
the United States Geological Survey,
are made from cobalt acetate, chic
ride, and nitrate that are colored when
heated or colorlcss when cold. This
interesting phenomenon Is due to the
change In color Of the salts on the alb
SOrption Of water. when dry they are
blue and easily seen on paper; when
damp they are pink; aud when dilute.

IS EVELYN ALMOND WITH
" ROW, the California artist,
N whose forthcoming exhibition
has created furore of local
interest, Is an enthusiastic connoisseur
and when not painting she is collect
ing. Bells and candlesticks are her
special hobby, but her collection also
includes u wonderful array of wood
carving, old lace and draperies, pew
ter, brass and copper objects, etc.
The bells she has collected, not for
their intrinsic worth, but because of
their association with interesting
places in the Old World. where she
spent thirteen years of her life. Her
lamps include many interesting pieces
from tiny altar candles to Persian
wedding lamps. She Is extremely
fond of religious symbols of all kinds,
The laces and embroideries in her
possession are probably not equaled
in America, being selected from a
limited collection abroad. She has
also many priceless draperies and
pieces of antique furniture. .
The Withrow home in San Fran
cisco is a big, old-fashioned structure
and is noted for its hospitality. Miss
Withrow's studio Is an immense room,
forty feet square, way up under the
caves, and on more than one occa-
sion has sheltered celebrities, both
home made and foreign.
During her stay In London, Miss
WithrOw was induced to change her
name, not in the usual fashion
through the medium of Il ring, a man
and a minister, but through the urgent
lash of necessity. II seems that In
benighted England masculine sigma
ture to picture Is as sterling on
silver to us, with the result that Il
| woman Is always subordinated to d
man. Now, of course. no woman. par
ticularly an American woman. rel
ishes that. Miss Withrow was no ex
1 ception to the rule, and immediatel!
began to pull the wool over the eyes
of the wise critics by signing heI
work IL. Almond Withrow," instead
of Eva Withrow, as formerly. Tha
her work was distinctly masculine II
its handling aided the ruse.
In addition to the distinction O
having her pictures hung In the Roya
Academy and the New Gallery of Lon
don and the Salon of Paris. Miss
Withrow met with singular favor a
the hands of Lady Collin Campbell
the distinguished editor of the Queer
