an after years Mr.. Weinman worked

the exception of some preliminary in
struction in drawing, obtained in the
German schools, his art education has
| been altogether acquired in this coun-
| try.
| While a student he won prizes at
both the Cooper Union and the Art
students League. At the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo his work secured
! honorable mention. In the st. Louis
exposition OF 1904 and the Brussels
exposition OF 1910 it was awarded sill

sions for the Gen. Alexander Macomb
Monument at Detroit and the Mary
land Union Soldiers and Sailors Me-
mortal in Baltimore. were both won
through competitions. Among his other
portrait statues are a Lincoln for
Hodgensville, Ky, Lincoln's birthplace.
and the Alexander J. Cassatt in the
Pennsylvania railroad station at New
York
| Mr.. Weinman has. moreover, done
quite little sculptural work for archi-
tectural purposes, such as the panels
brary, the Madison Avenue Presby-
terian Church, the Pennsylvania rail-
| roads's New York terminal station and
other buildings.
| He is, however, perhaps best known
after all as medalist, having pro-
duced exceptionally fine work in this
particular field. No doubt his early
training as wood and ivory carver
stands him to good stead in this work.
and also his working association with
Saint Gaudens, the greatest medalist
of our time. The medal of honor of
the American Institute of Architects,
most recently presented to NJ Pascal,
is the work of Mr.. Weinman, as is also
the medal of honor of the National
Institute of Arts and Letters, and the
United States medal; for life saving on
railroads.
Mr.. Weinman is member of the
National Sculpture Society, the Archi-
tectual League and other professional
organizations. His studio. in which
the Sphinx, for this city, was modelled,
is on West 21st street, New York.

LETTERS OF FYODOR MICHAILO-
WITCH DOSTOEvSKY. Translated
by Ethel Colburn Mayne. New York:
The Macmillan Company.
Approaching a hundred in number,
these letters from Dostoevsky to his
family and friends cover the active
period of the great Russian novellst's 8
literary career. Personal in character
and intimately informal in tone, this
correspondence serves to bring. the
reader into close touch with innumer-
able interesting and significant facts
of Dostoevsky's life. These are chiefly
the facts that disclose his urge toward
literature and point the struggles by
which he emerged, finally, a world
writer and not merely the Russian
novelist. The volume includes. besides
the letters, a chronological table of
Dostoevsky's life, with a group of per-
sonal recollections of him from one and
other of his friends and compatriots
and with, also. a body of cotempora-
neous judgment upon his work. The
whole contributes usefully to the grow
ling acquaintance with this great writer
among English-speaking readers.

Knitting for The Soldiers.
2y Frederic J. Haskin.

Fashion has joined philanthropy IN
the revival of the solacing industry
of knitting that is sweeping over the
country 1t is safe to say that IN inc
beginning of this new year OF l9io
there are "A hundred knitting needles
at work in America where onl? one
was busy Il year ago. The process OF
knitting a yarn sock was plain work
for our srandmothers, but it Is now
a method of expressing sympathy for
the suffering and of turning that
sympathy into some practical form OF
relief.
The war had hardly begun when the
London newspapers said to the wom-
en-: when you go to the theatef or
have tea with Il friend take your knit
ting" The theaters advertised: Bring
YOUR knitting" And thus people were
permitted to enjoy some social diver

the trenches-they carried their SYM
pathy with them in the form OF a Dali

the waters, and American women VINO

were soon turning heels with Il faclllty

The helmet is the most difficult OF
all to knit. 1t has to be carefully
shaped and will
Helmet Knitting be attempted only
by the knitter who
MOST Dlfncult. has learned to mar
row and widen skillfully. She will not
be apt to knit helmets at social func-
tons, because it is not easy to count
stitches to make proper measurements
while carrying on Il conversation. The
helmet is usually the handiwork of
the stay-at-home woman, who quietly
and industriously plies her needles in
her own drawing room. The demand
for helmets is SO great that they are
being manufactured in large numbers
out of the warmest qualities of red or
gray flannel. Many women who can
not knit are industriously sewing on
helmets. But the flannel helmet has
no elasticity. 1t can fit only head
of certain size and is not as comfort
able or as adaptable as the knitted
article. The helmet is knitted to draw
over the head like stocking, but has
holes to expose the eyes, nose and
mouth. The German army has already
included cloth helmets among the es-
sentlal equipment of the soldiers.
The knitting being done for the
soldiers now goes much more rapidly
than the old-fashioned kind of our
grandmothers. Bone needles are more
in evidence than steel ones and, as
heavier yarns are used, the work seems
much less tedious. 1t is also easier
for the unframed fingers to manage
the bone needles and to most knltters
less atiguing. Stockings are still knit
upon the steel needles. They are the most
time consuming articles or the modern
knitter and are not SO much in evil
dence. The knitting factories turn
these out in fairly good quality so
that many women prefer to knit some
thing not yet quite SO generally upon
the market. The helmet is a distinct
ly new development of this war.
