was painted four years later and is in
strong contrast in style. In this is
seen a young woman in a light cOlored
, gown half reclining on sofa, above
which hangs Japanese print. The
reminiscent note here is not the grim
Spanish painters. but Whistler, the
painter of the utmost refinements and
subtleties. Thus we are brought to
realize kinship which ordinarily may
seem remote and to understand the
force of cotemporary currents of
thought and expression
The critics who first viewed this
painting were by no means agreed con-
cerning its merits. Why" asked Tar

an sitting on sofa. the color of the
dregs of bottle of wine?" Mantz and
actly comfortable" but admitted that
the work had certain distinction in
tone" Once more. Mantz said. we
have only three or four tints. the white
of the dress dotted with little flowers,
the purplish red of the sofa and the
greenish motley of japanese print
hanging on the wall. As for the flesh
tints, it is hardly possible to speak of
them. The face and hands are left in
roughed-out condition"

day, What was wanted. Il Bougereau

Theodore de Banville is quoted by one
of Manet's biographers commenting
thus upon this picture: IAN attractive
portrait from which 1t is impossible to
take your eyes. This little woman sit
ting in a position at once uncomfort-
able and easy, with her little foot, like
that of one of Goya's women, in "A neat
little shoe, gives the impression OF

of its delicious SORROWS.

who early came under Manets infiu-
ence and who married the painters

ing. Here is seen breadth of handling
combined with amazing emphasis upon
detail. There is no gentle modelling,
the color is held in big simple masses,
the planes alone are indicated, and as
far as possible the contrasts of light
and shade are abolished But this
could hardly be called impressionism.

FoRsAKEN CHILD
 GLAD OF CHANGE TO
 ENTER INSTITUTION

One of the most pitifuI juvenile cases that has come to the attenti on of city court officials was unearthed at today's session when 1S years old Irene Fay of Beardsley street was ar raigned before Judge Coughlin charged technically with breach of the peace. Bewildered and weeping bitterly the girl told a story of neg lect and assertion by her mother who, she said, had run away with a barge emp1oye. She was left in the care of her grandmother w9se, a short time ago, was stricken by ill., ness and had to be taken to a hos pital
 Arrangements were made for Irene to get her meals at a neighbor's, but the neighbor is said to have had nu- merous children and was unable to give her proper attention Mrs Bur gess, probation officer, discovered her plight and secured the warrant for the purpose of securing the girls entrance into some institutions at least as temporary home The breach of the peace charge was noll- ed and Irene was taken to Hartford this afternoon for admission to the innocent wardH of the House of the Good Shepherd.
 Irene is not charged with any wrong doing and had to give her con- sent in order to be admitted to the Hartford institution. She appeared delighted over the prospect of secur- ing a home.

Summary
 OF THE ar News

Four distinct battles which have developed in France and A1sace. are being carried on wig orously but without marked ad- vantage for either side. Or great est immediate consequence is the fighting near Perthes which in volved possession of important railroads and probably consid- erab1e section of the fortified bat. tie line. In this district the French attempted further at tacks but were beaten back with heavy losses, the German official statement to-day asserts.
 Near Scissons in the Aisne country, the French statement says, German attempts to capture lost positions were repulsed and more trenches were seized by the allies.
 In the Argonne where fighting has been more continuous and stubborn since the early weeks of the war than almost any where else the Germans are on the offensive and claim to have captured a French vantage point.
 The fourth battle, in Aisace, is less active than was the case be- fore the reinforced Germans checked the French advance. The Berlin war office asserts that ;t French attack south of Senn- helm was defeated and that the attackers suffered, severe losses.
 According to a, Petrograd des- patch the small Ger uiser Bremen has beer aged by striking a mine.
 In view of the pl en- a+1-o 1Y1ff, Inc nm a i7i<a and perhaps Italy, unusual inter est attached to despatches indi- eating that disquiet in the Ball. kans is spreading. Italy may be called upon soon to resort to force of arms in Albania. Ti1e insurgents are said to be bring : ing up guns to direct against Du- { azzp, he port recently occupied by Italian forces. Italy has sent troops to the Italian islands in the Aegean Archipelago. which she is fortifying. Rumania is to < begin the mobilization of her ar my 1ate this month.
 Although the Austro-Gerrua forces in Poland apparently have given up for the time a general offensive movement, fighting of q local character continues. Vien- na reports that an attempt e the Russians to cross the lower Nida. in southern Poland was repuIsed. The attack apparently means that the Russians have determined on another move on CracoW, the Galician stronghold.
 Army headquarters at Petru- grad states that German attacks soil the Russian positions along the V1stula were beaten hack. A minor yciotry over the Turkish forces in the Caucasus also is announced.

Berlin. Jan. Ray wireless te London.-The German official state nent issued in Berlin today says: Y
 tsIn the western theatre insignificant arrangements are taking place south of the canal of La Basse, but so far without result.
 French troops last night made an attack on our positions to the south of fCernay (Sennheirnl, but they were repulsed with heavy losses. Early this morning the battle was resumed in this district.

.PEASE MAY NAME
 ONLY 4 DEPUTIES
 IN CITY, IS REPORT
There Still Are Many Places to Be Filled on Staff of
 Sheriff Elect
Expected That All Choices Will Be Made Before End
 of Present Week

It is reported that only four deputy she1iffs will be appointed in this city, instead of five at present serving uH- der Sheriff William Vollnner. Although County Sheriff -elect Pease would not conf7run this rsInor there is good aaI- Hhordty for believing that the smaller number will prevail No hint has yet been given regarding the names of the lucky unen although many favoTite sons have been pushed forward for ap- proval
 Pease has named William H. Gould flor deputy in Fairfield, Edward Do1= lens for deputy in South Norwalk and Samuel Ireland of Norwalk, keeper at che county jail. Gould is a. member of the Fairfield board of relief and con ducts a grocery store in that town. Doulens is registrar of voters in South NorwaIk and chairman of the Sec ond District Republican committee. Ireland is a 6orn1er constable in Nor walk who has been mentioned. as a candidate for deputy on several occa- sfons.
 The sflerif-eIect has a number of ap- pointn1etns yet to make So far he has named deputies William E. Luke in Danbury, Lincoln Taylor in Staan- ford, Frank Olnnstead in Monroe, Fred erick Hubbard in Bethel, Se1ah G. Brakeman in Huntington and the South Nod-wa5lk and Fairfield appoint ments mentioned above.
 He still has Bridgeport, Stratford Westpou-t Trn1nabull, Newtown Green wich, RddgefeId and Norwa1k to name It is not yet known whether he will appoint a man from New Fairfield where Sheriff Volner has a. deputy at present There is a. possibility that the town of Sherman may get this vacan- cy. Deputies in Bedding and Wilton are also possi bf1ities
 There is much sentiment in fr71rn- bull to have Deputy Berger retained and his friends are hopeful that the sheriff elect will listen to popular opin- ion. Several minor officials at the county jail are yet to be named. Mat thew Scott of Danbury has been given the position of pailer and Samuel Ire- land of Norwa1k. keeper. Jailer at Danlbury and janitor of the Danbury court house have also to be appointed. It is expected all appointments will be
 made before the end of this week.

HOUSE TAXES UP FOR SUFFRAGE six-Hour Debate Is Begun After Overwhelming Vote
 to Allow Discussion GALLERIES PACKED
 WITH TWO ARMIES" Both Sides Are Confident That They will Be Vic
 torious Tn Battle

Washington, Jan. 12-After an hour and a half of debate, the House today adopted 2osl to Al, a special rule for considering the proposed constitutional amendment for wo- man suffrage and then settled down to six hours actual debate before voting on whether to submit the re- solution to the state for ratification
 The overwhe elming vote in favor of the rule was by no means indica- tive of the sentiment on the resolu- ton itself. Many who voted for the rule in order to bring the duestion up for yea and no vote announc- ed their intention of voting against the resolution itself.
 Anti-suffragist claim the suffra- gists would not muster the necessary two-t1irds vote; the suffragistss did not predict more than that the House would register a majority in favor of their proposition.
 The debate on the rule had been spirited, bringing support and oppo- sition from all parties. The real de- bate which began at 1 o'clock. with six hours to srun, brought out the heavy artillery on both sides and promised a vote some time after z o'clock this evening.
 To the applause and cheers of sup porters of both sides on the ques- ton, packed in opposite galleries. the House plunged into a debate fully as Spectacular as that which attended the vote on the prohibition amend ment some time ago.
 Senator Maritime who chanced to pass through the House chamber at tracted attention of the anti-suffrag ge delegation. The wofnen greeted him with applause, some waving their roses as he answered their welcome.
 Miss Alice Paul, Of the suffrage executive committee was cheered as she took her place in the gallery.
 Promptly at II o'clock the Speak CTS gave1 fell and Chairman Henry. of the rules committee. presented the special rule upon which it was agreed to allow one and one-half hours de- bate exclusive of the six hours pro- vided for the resolution itself.
 tI shall support the rule because believe 8 vote should be given on any proposal which has become a na- tional issue said MT. Henry. .'But I believe this is purely a. matter of state Jurisdiction shall never vote for any amendment that proposes to take from the states powers now re- served to them and to vest those powers in the federal government
