Not cherubs, but children! Yes,
that is what Rubens painted in this
picture, children rather than cherub s
And why not" he might be imagin-
ed as asking 'After all, is not child
hood, in it's purity, cherubic?" And
were one to judge by the beauty with
which Rubens has invested this group
of children, it would have to be ad-
mitted that his position is not with
out something to be said for it.
Rubens' inheritance from genera
tions of Flemish ancestors was a
mind not wanting in imagination.
But his imagination, to become salts
fed, required very definite, a very
real, embodiment of it's conception
In this charming party of children
there is little of spiritual nature
To be sure, one of them does show a
wing; but they are healthy babies
rather than ethereal beings. They
behave like real children too. Doubt
less Rubens has in this picture used
his own children for models, or at
least one of them. Throughout his
life we find him using the members of
his family in this way. We find both
his wives again and again in his pic
tures-here as a Madonna, there as a
saint.
Notice too, how quick Rubens has
been to see the value of the garland
of fruit in it's positiveness of coloring
as a contrast to the delicate flesh
tones of the children. What a knot
of glowing color the plump bodies
make, and how it is relieved by the
fruit, the tree, the landscape, and the
cushion at the right!
At the time he painted this picture

Age Of Eesp Year Child.

The age Of i leap year child was
the chief point involved in the case
Of Cowden VS.. State before the Texas
court Of criminal appeals. The child
claimed that she was born on Febru-
airy 20, 1896, and her mother and
brother, also testified to that effect,
while her father and other witnesses
insisted she was born February %,
1898. The child testified that the only
birthdays she remembered were in
1904 and 1908. The conflict between
the father and mother as to the age
OF the child caused the trial judge to
permit the sheriff and deputy sheriff
to testify to their acquaintance with
the general reputation of the child Is
to her age. They said she was thir.
teen and not fifteen years old. The
higher court reversed the case be.
cause Of this testimony, holding that
the age Of q child whose parents
were alive could not be proved by
general reputation. although the par.
5ents testified differently as to the age.

Rubens' services we're being sought
by several of the royal courts of
Europe 1t is another sign of his
greatness that he could see the beau
ty in such a domestic group as this
when he was also painting the great
historical <canvases and his great re-
ligious pictures. There was, it is
said, waiting list of more than
hundred young men who wanted to
study under his direction. And about
this time Maria de- Medici of France
opened negotiations with him for
painting the series that so gloriously
fills one of the galleries of the Louvre
at Paris today. But these honors,
which so quickly would have turned
the head of lesser man, did not
cause Rubens to lose the power of
finding beauty in the home life, as we
find it in this picture.
"And does the Ambassador amuse
himself with painting?" "a Spanish
courtier is said to once have asked
Rubens. "No, Senior was Rubens'
reply, "the painter amuses himself by
being ambassador"
