Saturday last was great day at old
Mt. Zion. The pastor, in conference
with his people, had under considera-
ton the remodeling of the old church,
when it was proposed to build new
and modern structure, which was
heartily approved without dissent
ing voice. At once steps were taken
to raise the funds and quickly over
six thousand dollars was provided for
in the congregation present. A can
vas of the membership and friends
can easily carry the sum to nine or
ten thousand dollars. A modern
church with Sunday school equipment
and all necessary conveniences for ef-
ficient church activities is contemplate
ed in this building. 1t may be con-
sidered a late day to speak of pioneer
movements. but this will be distinctly

l did not recognize at once in this
wounded man, worn by the fatigues of
hard campaign, the Baron dAucelaux.
Martha guided him carefully along the
gravel paths and about the green lawns
which the spring had enamelled with
pale volets.
One day she made him sit down on one
of the rustic benches in the garden, so
that he could feel the gentle radiance of
the March sun. Separated from them
only by a clump of bushes, heard their
conversation in spite of myself
Have you brought your embroidery to
work on, Mile. Martha?' he asked
Yes said the young girl, in soft
voice which I could hardly recognize as
hers "They gave me five francs for my
last piece of work. am going to con-
tinue."
These answers astounded me. Martha
worked for a living. What did that
mean? But there were more surprises
in store for me.
Tell me- Jacques went on, "is it
next month that you will be thirty years
old?"
Yes, on April 90" she replied, with
out any hesitation.
thirty years? She had added ten
years, at least. For what purpose?
And the Baron d'Aucelaux. who
ought to have known just how much of
this to believe, did not appear in the
least surprised.

art was too strong to allow him to re-

teresting was that containing
the work of three young artists born
much attention and admiration from the
public, in fact, that the famous Italian
critic, Vittorio Plea, made them the sub
ject of an appreciative and copiously il
Illustrated article in the we'll known and
admirable Italian art magazine, EN-
porium," published at Bergamo. The
oldest of the three artists referred to,
Giuseppe Biasi, is but little over thirty
years of age, one learns. He cannot,
however, be considered mere beginner,
since during the past five or six years he
has exhibited with some success at
Venice, at Rome and at Milan. Plea
says of him: "He conceives, composes,
draws and colors his paintings in oil and
in tempera with clearness and sureness
of touch, and according to the dictates
of his individual scheme of art"
The second of this brilliant group
bears the name of Raoul de Chareun, but
likes to produce his work under the
pseudonyme of Primo Senopco. He is
still considerably under thirty, but his
aquarelles display an acute and subtle
intelligence, though his skill is perhaps
not always equal to the complete express
sion of his idea.
The third member of the group, Edna
Altara, is a girl still under twenty, whose
career has been quite remarkable. Wit
torio Plea says of her: "She appears to
be endowed with an exquisite decorative
instinct, almost always supported by ele-
gance of taste and by an agreeable sense
of color"

and Milan. He portrays with faithful
patience and minute photographic pre-
csion the types of the Sandman popula-
ton, whose racial characters are modi-
fled by ancient blending with both
Spaniards and with Saracens, and he de-
lights equally in the sterner beauties of
his beloved island and the softer charms
of the eastern and southern portions.
These characteristics have caused him
to be regarded as disciple of Zuloaga:
but Plea finds his work like that of the
brothers Valentn and Ramon de Zubi-
aurre.
Raoul de Chareun studied engineering
at the University Of Padua, but, like
Biasi, the summons of art drew him ir-
resistibly aside from the career first
chosen. He is noted particularly as
clever illustrator and caricaturist. He
has maintained his individuality, though
influenced by the famous Continental
carlcaturists, Steinlen, of Switzerland;
Paubot, of France, and Aroserius, of
Sweden.
Edna Altara first exhibited her
charming little cardboard figures in
1914; two years later she captured the
public at the Exposition of Italian Play
things, held in Milan. Plea remarks that
the enthusiasm for this young girls art
expressed in certain journals perhaps
owed not a little to the admiration
aroused by the charm of her dainty per-
son and the briliance of her dark eyes,
and warns her Of the danger a young
artist runs Of having his or her ambi-
tons stifled by success too early and
praise too fulsome. He remarks: 81.
however, will hope that Edna Altara
possesses the good sense and will have
the force of character not to allow
her brain to be clouded by the intoxicat-

quarters during her stay in Milan"
