wise come to this restlessly active man.
For so long a period has Paul de Longpre
been closely identified with the art life of the
United States, and particularly of southern Cali
fornia, where he has long made his home, that
many persons overlook the fact-which might in
deed be suspected from his name-that he Ia a
native of our sister republic Of France. Born In
Paris some ~ffty-fve years ago, he was one OF ten
children and enjoyed few early advantages OF
an educational character, However. as a young
boy he manifested talent. seemingly amounting
almost to genius, for the painting OF floral sub
jects. and he spent a portion OF each year In the
country near Paris in order to study at first hand
the floral subjects he loved so well. Indeed he
would probably have given up his whole time to
sketching In the luxuriant flower gardens OF this
favored region had it not been for the fact that
he had his living to make and did 1t by the most
prosaic but vastly more remunerative occupa-
ton of decorating fans.
All the while. Of course, his heart was in the
flower painting and his efforts attracted atten-
ton from the outset. In 1876 he won the su.
preme honor of having his pictures hung in the
Paris salon and similar recognition came on sew
eral succeeding years. A few years later. how
ever, the entire course of his plans was suddenly
altered by the failure OF the Paris banking insti-
tuition in which all his savings had been deposit
ed. De Longpre had married at eighteen and
when the financial crash came 1t found this
young man, yet under twenty-five years OF age,
with the responsibilities of a family consisting
OF q wife and three children-two daughters and
a son,
In this domestic crisis the young artist deter
mined upon a bold step-nothing less than a re-
solve to turn his back upon Paris and seek his
fortune In the new world. Almost all his friends,
with characteristic pessimism, predicted disaster,
but he nevertheless transferred the seat Of his
activities to New York. where he met with a
gradually increasing measure OF success. Then,
upon paying a visit to southern California, he. as
was to be expected, straightway fell in love with
the land Of flowers. He Immediately determined
henceforth to make his home there. attracted no

helm I'm art. never as n guide" And 1t can truth
fully be said that de Longpre has ever taken his
own medicine In this respect, for ali that he has
won financial as well as artistic success.
II might be supposed that a man who after hav'
ing passed the half-century mark was plunging
into q new field Of artistic endeavor would have
his hands full, but not 30 the resourceful Paul dc
Longpre. With a couple OF operas under way and
Sousa's band and other concert organizations play
ing his lighter compositions and clamoring for
more. the artist composer Is even now finding time
to act as the chief promoter OF a new movement OF
which he Is also the originator and which Is known
as a crusade for national art. This is purely a
labor Of love on the part OF the king OF flower
painters-an effort to further a publicspirited
the whole American people in art and the better
appreciation of art works whether executed by
Americans or foreigners.
The chief aim OF the movement. aside from
the educational benefit which must inevitably &C.
crue to the whole people who are thus enabled to
understand and appreciate art, is to engineer the
public sentiment that will result in the extending
OF governmental aid 10 the cause OF art. Mr.. de

Pity the Little Birds.

A correspondent sends us from Dex-
ter. Tex. the following appeal for
prof. viection for the birds slaughtered
for commercial purposes.
That the cruel fashion OF wearing
birds aud aigrettes for ornaments on
hats is still going on is proved by the
little binds and aigrettes that are ad-
vertised by all the great millinery
firms. But are The ladies who en-
courage this cruelty bv buying them,
really ignorant Of the fact that this
great sin is death through starvation
TO uncOunted multitude Of nestlings
annually? When so much has been
said aud published against this
shameful and cruel fashion, do hope
they do il more for want Of thought
than for want of heart, and yet this
is no excuse before the God VINO
created the dear little birds for one
benefit; for our pleasure TO hear their
sweet God-praising songs; for our
benefit that thev should destroy in
sects that threaten our orchards and
gardens. And yet man with his five
wits about him, and that warning,
pleading -conscience-gOes on
killing the poor little songsters' for
no other reason than money on the
one hand and vanity on the other
lave you who are mothers ever
thought how terrible it would be Ii
sume huge monster came along and
killed you, leaving your helpless babies
behind to starve? Would you not
curse such monster in all eternity?
And yet you who wear birds ON your
hats are guilty OF just such crime.
Or do you think a Nesting feels the
pangs Of hunger less intensely than
your babies? / ask are we really
Christians, or are we becoming heath
Gus to allow such cruelty to go on
in this our land Of the free and the
brave? We fight all other sins, but
this, one Of the country's most sinful,
most degrading of sins, is fought
against comparatively little. Il is
the very highest time that laws
should be passed Of the most severe
kind 10 check this satan-born fashion
Oh, ladies, do not encourage it by
buying hat that has so much as a
feather on it, and this awful fashion
will soon he stamped out! Otherwise
IL you persist in this cruelty, and
you would like TO know what awaits
him who showed no mercy, the take
your Bible and turn to The 18th verse
of the End chapter Of James, and God
will tell you what will Overtake e
you on Judgment Day, long after the
little tortured birds have been turned
