the inauguration ball, which was held
in the new wing of the treasury build

the heat and pressure. There were
Mrs. Grants weekly receptions, to

topic was not men and not clothes, but
woman suffrage.
Mrs. Casey also recalls the visit of
the Grand Duke Alexis third son Of
the Gar Alexander II, to the United
StateS-a great event in those days
which had never heard of whole for

their hair long, but there comes time,
even to poet, when he must have it
trimmed at least That Is the barber's
chance.

Drawings by Mentally Defective.

The drawings Of some patients suf-
sanlty-"a mild psychos1s"-show q
curious resemblance to the works of
the "primitives" or early "old mas
ters," who worked before the art Of
draughtsmanship had reached its mod
ern stage of perfection. Both classes
of work show the same partial dis
regard of perspective. the same unnat-
ural but often touching attitudes Of
the persons, the same air of mystery,
romance and solemn sincerity.
In such cases the insane person must
be in a childlike mental condition,
while possessing some artistic training
