additional interest in the statue
among the general public, art loving
and otherwise. Guards were needed
to keep the crowd at a respectable
distance Indignation, ridicule and
admiration were variously expressed.
The figure does not always excite
admiration in the middle classes. A
stout grocer, having inspected it, crit
ically remarked:
well, If that's a duchess, give me
Mrs. Jones!"
Countess Fedora Gleichen, the
sculptress, Is poor relation of roy
atty. Her father was Prince Victor
of nloheLangenburg, a grandson
of Queen Vctorias mother by her first
marriage. Prince Victor married an
Englishwoman not of royal birth, and
his children did not inherit his rank,
but We're called instead Counts and
Countesses Gleichen. Queen Mary's
own ancestry is somewhat similar, as
she is descended on her father side
from the marriage of a royal prince
with a plebeian woman.
And still Queen Mary declares with
fire in her eye and an ominous shall-
ing of the royal plumage and dra-
peries that she will find and punish
the culprits who posed in the alto
gether!"

~ HE most interesting, If not the
most artistic, work in the
current exhibition of the Royal
Academy in London is a statue by
the Countess Fedora Gleichen.
1t is the most interesting in the
sense that 1t has attracted the atten-
ton Of more people of all classes than
any other work, even If the high
browed critics have shifted at 1t.
Why is this statue so interesting?
Because it represents an undrape;
figure of considerable attractiveness.
Because it is said to be the composite
likeness of three or more prominent
noble society women. Because the
sculptress is cousin of Queen Mary.
Because Her Majesty has made ter
rible fuss about it. There are other
reasons, but probably those are
enough.
The statue is labelled "The Woman
of 1914" That means, of course, that
IL is the woman of fashionable and
aristocratic society, the woman who
wears the latest creations and omis-
sions in dress.
The Countess Gleichen enjoys spa
cious apartments in historic st.
James's Palace through the royal
bounty, and there she has a fine stu
dio. She has been regarded as an
amateur sculptress and has practised
her art for many years without ere
ating any sensation. Many of the
most prominent women in fashionable
society, including most of the British
duchesses, have been there to pose
for her. The royal sculptress has
made busts Of them conventionally
attired, and these have been exhibited
TO an admiring world with the real
names attached.
Now, the general understanding is
that some of these noble visitors posed
Tor the undraped statue at the Acad-
envy The popular idea is that the
statue represents a composite Of the
best known and most admired beau
ties in English society. Some mem
bers Of the fashionable set assert

PRESIDENT CONFIDENT
Of BUSINESS SUPPORT
Not Discouraged by Unfavorable
Outcome of Chamber of Com
merce Referendum.

Despite the unfavorable views of the
referendum conducted by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States on
the Administrations antitrust meas
uree, President Wilson. it became
known last night. is still confident the
business men of the country are with
him in his plans and that he will be
able to win over more leaders in the
business world before the final pas
sage of the antitrust bills.
Wednesday he will see r. A. Long,
Charles H. Keigh and ]. W. White,
representing large interests in Kansas
City. Mo. The engagement was made
by Senator Stone. who said yesterday
the Missouri men want to talk over
general business conditions and anti
trust legislation with the President
Willing to See Others.
While no more definite engagements
for business men to call on the Presi-
dent have yet been made, Mr. Wilson
has let it be known he is perfectly
willing to see any prominent men who
want to discuss business conditions
ting scores of letters bearing on the
situation.
Members of Congress who have
visited the White House during the
past week have called attention to the
fact that no prominent business men
have called on them to discuss the
antitrust bills. They explained they
thought the business men were being
kept away by former charges of lob
bying. when other important questions
were pending.
Tone of His Letters.
In many of the letters received at
the White House the antitrust situa-
ton and the fight against the nomi-
nations of Paul NJ. Warburg and
Thomas u. Jones as members of the
federal reserve board have been COM
bined.
Bearing on the condition of busi-
ness, the President has received many
letters urging the speedy decision Of
the freight rate cases pending before
the interstate commerce commission.
but he has also received communica-
tions saying the condition of the rail-
roads is now growing better, due
largely to the prospects of bumper
crops.

Persistent effort during the last two
years by two woung WASHINGTON school
teachers to have fairy tales and his
torical incidents of peculiar interest to
young people made into motion pic
ture films has attracted attention of

grades here After the close of the

the moving pictures as authority. These
teachers saw the strong influence the
films were havina; on the Young people
who came into their charge and decided
to make thorough an investigation as
possible of the kind of films that were
