said, is to paint pictures directly from ma
ture and often at a single sitting, but
this is not the way some Of the best
works have been produced. Every paint
er to succeed must go constantly to ma
tIre and must learn from her. but it is
not essential that he should copy nature
slavishly, his privilege being to complete
her intention. 1t is not always possible.
Mr.. Moser told his audience, to paint
picture on the instant that one sees an
inspiring subject, but if one goes armed
with a sketch book even the most fleeing
effects can be captured and preserved
for future use. Mr.. Moser counseled mis-
pupils to keep all such notes, assuring
them that they would become significant
beyond belief. wildly recalling something
which otherwise would soon have been
forgotten. That these notes be kept sim
pie he strongly advised, saying that in
this quality lay much Of their potential
value. Charles H. Davis, ]. Francis
Murphy and other well known painters
of landscape were cited as men who made
a practice of painting from notes, using
them merely as memorandum and not by
any means working directly from them.
This subject was one upon which Mr..
Moser was especially qualified to speak,
as he makes practice of making just
such notes and of working from them. His
note books are extremely interesting and
full of significance even to layman.

The author of this work has spent con-

written a number Of works descriptive of
China, and is therefore well qualified to
present now in this volume a compact
statement of the new movement which
has evolved a republic out Of the appar-
emily hopeless material of the celestial
empire. Some of the material which COM
prises this work has been taken from
earlier books on China, and the whole
threaded together by information obtained
directly from the republican movement.
To those who are seeking compact
statement of the conditions which led up
substitution of the republic this work
will be Of practical use.

"Anne. Of counsel Please don't play
with me. Consider what terrible time
we have all been through
Julien did not at once reply. His very
hesitation seemed to afford the duchess
a lively satisfaction.
''There!'' she declared. ''You are not
going to pretend. then, that you don't
know? That is excellent, Julien, tell me
at once where to find her. Take me to
her."
II am afraid I can't do that" Julien
objected.
my dear-my dear Julienv' the duchess
protested. This Is all so foolish. Why
should there be any mystery about Anne S
whereabouts? 1 am not angry. 1 ought
to be. perhaps, but you see l have guessed
my dear girls secret. I've felt for her
terribly during the last few weeks. but it
was SO hard to know what to do. 1t

adopted was the wisest."

me how 1t was that you both managed to
deceive us SO completely?"
Julien shook his head
Il haven't the slightest notion what you
mean"
The duchess shrugged her shoulders.
For my part she said. Il always
looked upon dear Anne as the most un-
emotional, unsentimental person. Nat

hand. had no idea that she looked upon
marriage as anything but reasonable
and necessary part of life. I had no
| idea, even. that she had any real affec-
ton for YOU"
Affection for me!'
Julien looked up. The duchess was re-
garding him as a mother might look at
| a naughty child whom she intended to
pardon.

Anne seemed very silent for some time
after your departure, and there was q

"It is a very stupid view." Julien de-
| clared. Anne cares no more for me

sort. Even IL I were in a position to

The duchess began to see her way. She
tried. however. to Danish the look OF re-
lief from her face.

very unpleasant for the visitors in the
