A beggar man happened, TODD, and

quarter was his. Then a miracle hap

The mean thief ran down the street.
The green goggles came off and the
small change was transferred to the
pockets of the blind man. Then with
a yell for the police, beggar man and
blind man ran like sprinters down
Sixty-third street. And a crowd gath
cred as they ran, and marveled much
that a blind man had been made to

The beggar man looked over his

He threw the quarter down upon the
sidewalk and the blind man stopped
and picked 1t up, then paused In the

TUESDAY CLUB VISITS
WALKER ART GALLERY

About twenty ladies of the Tues.
day Club enjoyed delightful visit
to the Walker Art Gallery in Mime
apolis last Tuesday, under the able
leadership of Mrs. Welles and Mrs
Deneen, assisted by Mrs. Ewing
| Mrs. Crabtree and Mrs. Ensign.
The gallery is rich in the works of
artists of many schools of painting,
but the leaders confined themselves
to the study of a few of the most
famous mode IN artists.
Mrs. Welles presented the Borbizon
school of painting, which was a
reaction from a decadent style of
painting back TO scenes of nature
interpreted by the penetrating in
sight of each artist as he saw and
felt and understood il. Paintings
by Corot, Millet, Dupre, Troyon,
Jacque, Diaz, Daubigny, Rosseau
and Breton, were discriminating
studied and the characteristics of
each artist pointed out. Mrs.
Ewing led in the study of the Dutch
artist Rembrant, who excelled in
the effective use of light and shade,
and who, though a portrait painter,
always made a picture of the por-
trait, Mrs. Crabtree discussed the
paintings of the English artist
Turner, the colorist whose works
possess an almost irrideScent blend
of delicate colors, especially in
foliage and sky. The sympathetic
interpretations of the different
paintings by the leaders, who
pointed out the significance of lines
and colors and compositions, was
very interesting and helpful and
led the listeners to better under
standing and appreciation of the
artists and their works.
Mrs. Deneen read an interesting
paper on Chinese pottery, illustrat-
ed by Mr.. Walkers large collection
of Chinese vases, showing the
different periods of development of
that art in China.
Mrs. Ensign gave an interesting
talk on Wedgewood ware as envolv-
ed from the famous Portland vase,
accompanied by illustrations from
the Wedgewood department in the
gallery.
During the afternoon the curator
of the gallery gave very interest
ing and instructive talk on the
rare collections of Chinese jades,
explaining the different classes and
qualities of jade and the me aning
of, and use of the wonderful fine
carvings of the specimens.
Luncheon at the Teco Inn was a
very enjoyable feature of the day.
The mural decorations of the din
ing room are with genuine Teco
tiles in pleasing landscape designs,
wholly in keeping with the artistic
interests and enjoyment of the
Tuesday Club visitors to the in
spring and educative Walker Art
Gallery. *
