its aspects Will be judged at handling

intend the object to be observed or
studied the more you have to take
into consideration how you shall
fashion it so as to preserve the effect
planned.
Had my figures in the pediments
of the library building been tipped
properly-or rather had they been
set properly. because the tipping or
slanting had been allowed for in the
sculpturing-the man who gazed up
at them from the street would have
seen all OF the arms. hands and feet
of knight and the muse as we'll as
parts of the other figures now hidden
in great part. The observer would
have understood what the figures We're
doing. or were represented as doing.
Just in detail what are the discrep-
ancies between the figures ! designed
and the figures as placed in the pedi-
ments? Well. the papers connected
with my suit set forth these discrep-
ancies at length. In the north pedi-
ment ! charge that the directions rela-
tive to setting the group plumb with
the base Of the pedlment were ig-
nored. The pose indicated in the
model. I maintain, was never used.
The knight in armor lacks eight to
nine inches Of marble on the chest
and head. And the knight leans back
ward instead of forward. The sword
and other details are in wrong places
and lacking in marble.

not to put them t. the purpose for
which they were chosen.
THE trouble is very understandable.
IL is the same old trouble that has
so often married art. 1t depends upon
how the sculpturod values are car
r!ed to the eye You may call il the
relation of the Chiselled achievement
to the point of view IL you wish. 1t
has to do with the difference between
the minds conception of an object
and what the eye really sees of the
objcct-thc angle that 1t sees from.
or the point of gaze.
Now here we have the models of
the knight and the muse designed
for the library building pediment.

view them in the manner they would

Notice how these figures project
| made them that way so that
from scventy-five or a hundred feet
below they would still be seen prac-
tically in entirety. They slant from
their base, or in other words are tipped
out. Now when you stand in the street
in front Of the Public Library and look
up what do you see? Why. your line
of vision strikes the top of the cor

it crosses the figures horizontally,
about their centre. Every bit OF
carved work below that centre is OBJ

This allowance for how a figure
will look fifty or a hundred feet up in
the air from you is decidedly part of
the art of sculpture. II you design
figure that you can approach at any
time so close that you may handle or
touch. why of course your eye sees

Then again the models were not
placed together in the right way for

right, relative to the foundation or to

what good would it do to ask? But

the words she had been thinking

his wife did not know who had called

just now over the wire that she had
not intimated to the maid who she

was calling up on a matter of bust
ness? This last statement had evil

never having heard of Mrs. Simmons,
she could not have suspected who the
speaker was.
His cigar had gone out, and he

satisfied him that the weed was draw

what was the use of her uttering her
