KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT

An art student was copying one of Abbott S. Thayers paintings at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art one day, when a plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be mechanic approached and, posting himself at the young mans elbow, watched him as he labored oyer his subject Fe
 You've got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye is too obiique," remarked the man decidedly.
 The student blnked angrily and the hand that Wilded the brush trembled slightly, but he took no notice of the unsolicited criticism.
 There is too much yellow in your flesh tint.' continued the man
 "Stlil no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on tho nose.

DICKENS AS HE WAS IN 1889
Interesting Description of Great Writer Published in tine knicker-
 booker of That Year.

ln person he is a little above the standard height, though not tall. His figure is slight, without being meagre, ard is well proportioned The face, that first object of physical interest, is peculiar, though not remarkable. An ample forehead is displayed under a quantity of light hair, worn in mass on one side rather jauntily, and this is the only semblance of dandyism in his appearance. His brow is marked, and his eye, though not large, is bright and expressive. The most regular feature is the nose, whicl, may be called handsome; an cpithet not applicable to his lips, which are too large. Taken altogether. the countenance, which is pale without sickness, is in repose extremely agreeable and indicative of great re, finement and Intelligence.
 MT, Dlckeac' manners and conyersa- tion, except perhaps in the perfect abandon among his familiars. have no exhibition of particular wit, much less of hunor. He is mild in the tones of his voice, and quiescent, evincing habitual attention to etiquette and the conVentionalisms of polished circles. His society is much sought after, and, possibly to avoid the invitations press cd upon him, he does not reside ip london, but with a lovely wife and two charming children occupies re treat in the vicinity. He is abolt 26 years of age, but does not iock more than g or 24. Mr. Dickens is en- tifely self-made, and rose from an humble station by virtue ., his moral worth, his genius and his industry From the Hnickerbocker, August 1899.
