Miss Ream. unwilling to be idle. ac.
cepted a position as clerk in the Post

the turn in events that directed her am
bition toward sculpture was largely that
of an accident. In one Of her leisure
afternoons she visited the studio Of the
elder Mills, the distinguished sculptor,
and. as she watched him modelling In
clay. she remarked. II can do that, too
Willing to make good her assertion
Miss Ream took a piece Of modelling clay
home with her and within q few days
returned to the sculptor's studio with
the head of an Indian wrought from her
piece of clay This attempt showed such
marvellous power for a beginner that
Mills at once offered to help Miss Ream
with her education as a sculptor and
thereafter she devoted her entire time
to the study of her art. Two years
later her powers were so widely recog-
nized that she was given a commission
by Congress to make a life size statue of
Lincoln. for which she was offered 5000
when the statue stood in plaster and a
like amount when 1t stood in marble.
This statue was unvailed in 1871 In the
rotunda of the Capitol where it stands
to this day. 1t was much criticised at
the time in spite of its undoubted merit
Many assailants claimed that Miss Ream
had not been the author Of the work
but she was soon cleared Of this charge
Later Miss Ream made the portrait busts
OF many other distinguished men of the
time and studied for several years
abroad.

distinction in the field of sculpture.
Winnie Ream. was, born sixty-fve years

Of the Mississippi in what was then the
territory of Wisconsin. Although be-
longing to family of considerable dis

the privations and dangers of frontier
life and had little opportunity for educa-

A TRICK OF FASHION.

Report comes to us from New
York and Newport that many women
who are considered to be leaders in
exclusive fashions are wearing mar
row skirts. Not moderately narrow
but extremely narrow. OF course
there is the bouffant effect through
the hips in keeping with the present
day silhouette, but still there is de-
cidedly the effect of the narrow skirt.
This is an example of a funny trick
that fashion has a way of playing.
Just when a certain style is discard
ed for a new one, and when the new
style has become so generally adopt
ed as to be too popular to be ex-
elusive, there is a tendency on the
part of a certain faStidious set of
fashionable women to revive the style
just departed.
Do you remember three or four
years ago Oriental beads made into
necklaces were first taken up by
fashionable folk and then as they
were put out in lots of thousands and
sold for song at every department
store the country over, the fashion
ables dropped them? Then when they
had become quite abandoned by those
who simply follow suit, the smartly
dressed women revived these Oriental
decorations. They were somewhat diff
ferent than the first ones but still the
idea was the same.
So it goes. Fashionable folk first
took up with the severe mode of
dressing the hair, with the plain fore
head and the exposed cars, and then
when at last the rest of womenkind
who would appear smartly groomed
got onto the trick" the ultra ex-
elusive set dropped back to the mode
that calls for locks on the forehead
and over the ears.
1t is queer little trick of Dame
Fashion that those who watch her
moods most carefully find repeated
over and over again.
It is perfectly natural thing for
children to prefer going about with
soilcd hands, says an expert on child
psychology. OF course the mother
of the present time objects. She is
civilized and if is part of the civilized
humans scheme of things to avoid
dirt as much as possible. But primi
tive man, the experts say, was rough
and ready. He even "smeared his
BODY with paint or dirt. not so much
FOR protection as for training in in
difference to dirt. He had to wade in
mud and he never thought of hurry
irg home to change his clothes when
they got rumplcd or soilcd in the
chase"
That was the idea of the primitive |
man. and children are really just |
small editions of their primitive an
cestors. They don't take naturally !
TO being clean. They object serious /
ly to having the CRIME and mud ac- /
quired during the course OF a days !
play scrubbed off by their fastidious
parents. But it is one of the things !
that has to be if they arc to take their
place in a civilized society
But there are some mothers who
seem TO think that their healthy lit
tie primitive men and women should
just naturally take to soap and water
and who scold them for not avoiding
soil and CRIME as a matter of instinct.
Whereas. of course, the truly philo-
sophie and well-informcd parent
knows that she is working at cross
purposes with the instincts of chill
dren when she does set this neces-
sary high standard of cleanliness.
