probably was familiar to the majority
of those who saw the play last night.
1t narrates the whimsical attachment OF
a college girl for her patron, whom she
does not see until several years after the
two have carried on a quaint correspon-
dence. The young woman creates, in
her minds eye, a venerable. lanky. bald
headed, fatherly individual. In fact, her
patron is a young bachelor of prepos-
sessing appearance, but the two are not
brought together until caddish friends
and relatives arouse suspicious that have
to be allayed before happiness can
crown the romance of the young woman.
Miss Chatterton is ideally fitted for
such a role. Her personal charm Is in
disputable, but she supplements this by
a technical resource that shows crafty
ing signs of development as she grows
in her profession. Frederick Truesdell
plays the lover in a manner to enlist
sympathy, and his manly portrayal Of
the role provided the touch that was
needed to round out the pretty love
story.
There are no intensely dramatic mo-
ments in this play which Miss Jean
Webster evolved from her novel. But
there Is the breath of naturalness, the
infusion of a sweet charm, the unfold
ing of a pretty romance. that has a
quality of universal appeal which has
not diminished since Emerson pointed
out that "All mankind loves a lover"

Artists Thumb
Prints

Painters and sculptors of France have
conceived the notion Of putting their
thumb prints on their works instead Of
their signatures, thereby foiling the art
takers
The Bertillion thumb-print system oc
Identification will be used by Rod!E.
Bonnat. Harpignies, and other promi-
nent artists of France. This plan will
no doubt be taken up eagerly by all
of the leading figures in the world OF
art and sculpture.
Prof. Bordas originated the idea to
put a stop to the wholesale taking Of
pictures at the expense Of modern
artists and buyers. His plan Is simple.
but efficacious. The thumb print Of the
sculptor or painter is placed in a con-
! venient corner of the work, with the
right thumb. The ministry Of arts is
then supplied with photographed copy
! of the same thumb print. and the min
! istry publishes a catalogue Of the prints
to the leading museums, collectors, and
: dealers OF the world. In the case OF
| sculptures, the print will be made on
the pedestal, in gold powder for bronzeA
and in vermillion for marble, thus max
ing the markings indelible.
! An interesting exhibition Of paintingl
was opened today at the Washington
Gallery. 1888 G street. under the aus
