Set in the walls of this unique hospital
are decorations in tiles designed by very
skillful artists. Four Of these are by A.
H. Hepburn and represent legends dear to
all children's hearts-Rip Van Wrinkle. the
Dorchester Giant, the Pied Piper of Ham
lin and Jason's Quest for the Golden
Fleece. On vet another wall is likewise
pictured in tiles Paul Revere's historic
ride, after designs by Edith Brown. Even
the panels of the doors are pictorial. one
showing a scene from Alice in Wonderland
and another taken from "Br'er Rabbit" !"
These are both modelled in bas relief by
Roger Noble Brunham and have been cast
in bronze. Obviously these decorations
serve double purpose, inviting forget
fulness of pain through interest and dec

1t may. in this connection. be remem-
bered that Besnard's most notable works
were executed for, not hospital, but the
School of Pharmacy in Paris.
A TTENTION has been lately called TO
~ the fact that almost all the monu-
ments in Washington are to military
or naval heroes and few, indeed. to: the
heroes of peace. There is nothing more
ornamental to a city or more engag-
ing of attention than a beautiful piece
of sculpture appropriately placed Chi
cago has a fund esta blished through
the generosity of single public-s spirit
ed citizen for the acquisition of such
works for the city Through this fund
Chicago acquired dorado Taft's "Foun-
tain of the Lakes"
With the development of our park
system special opportunity is and will
continue to be given for the emplace-
ment of ornamental sculpture-oppor-
tunities which other nations would not
overlook nor neglect. Quite recently it
has been suggested that a full size
model of Bessie Potter Eonnoh'.s
charming group, The Mother" might
appropriately be erected here as a
memorial to American motherhood
Furthermore, attention has been drawn
to the fact that we have as yet in
Washington no monument or statue to
the American Indian. Boston has re-

Sensitive Patriots.

"THE French army ne, contains @ many ar.
ty years." said L. Z. Houssn de Saint
Laurent, the French consul to Chicago.
These patriots are very sensitive
about their ages. If they are spared
for reasons of age, 1t makes them
angry.
Before the Meuse and Moselle cam
paign, a captain said to one of those
patriots, a fine old fellow with a gray
beard:
I've shan't ask you to charge from
the trench with your company. my
man. 1t will be enough for YOU to
stay behind and help with the ammu-
milton wagons. You are veteran, I
see. l suppose it is many long year
since you fought your first battle.
What was your first battle, may l
ask
THE veteran saluted and answered.
sarcastically:
"a battle with a cave bear that I
fought with a flint hAtchet in the stone
age, sir.
