registry places of their residence district
No fee of any kind has TO be paid for

question. A proper answer was gwen.

Wilmingtonians Visit Studios
of Parrish and St. Gaudens

the life the artist and his wife ENJOY most,
IN fact, Mr.. Parrish has grown tired of his
New York studio, and much prefers dong
front yard, IN even the scversst winters.
One acquainted with the dreamy,
poetic conceptions Of the Parrish fancy
might expect TO meet a different type of
man than Prof. and Mrs. Berlin describe
him TO be. A plain-mannered, practical
seeming individual, they found him, ard a
very hospltable one. Recalling the water
falls and fountains of Mr. Parrish draw
ing, II Is interesting TO note that he made a
special study of the water at Ashokan res
ervoir IN New York State few summers
ago. The inspiration of the beauty of the
dehydratlng streams may be seen in the
fountains Mr.. Parrish loves to paint.
The st. Gaudens home is now a COM
bmed dwelling and memorial, to which
thousands of visitors travel during the
summer. The grounds are kept open and
the study is retained In the order of the
artists arrangement, set with many
bronze studies, and with fresh flowers fill
ing all the vases. The sculptor's desk
remains as at his death, leaf torn from
the calendar marking his decease. A
separate building houses a number OF the
st. Gaudens heroic-sized statues, and the
1ogg1a outside is ornamented In bas relief,
also the work of St. Gaudens. The in
timacy of contact with the home of the
great sculptor and his work inspires a
feeling of combined awe and admiration
on the part of visitors.

CHAPTER v.

Along the well-remembered streets
of Sequoia Bryce Cardigan and his
father walked arm in arm, their
progress continuously interrupted by
well-meaning but impulsiye Sequoians
who insisted upon hating the pair to
shake hands with Bryce and bid him
welcome home. In the presence of
those third parties the old man quickly
conquered the agitation he had felt
at this long-deferred meeting with his
son, and when presently they left the
business section of the town and
turned into a less-frequented street,
his emotion assumed the character
OF quiet joy. evidenced In more
erect bearing and a firmer tread. as
if he strove, despite his seventy-six
years, not to appear homogeneous as
he walked beside his splendid son.
l wish l could see you more clear
w. he said presently. His voice as
well as his words expressed profound
regret, but there was no hint of despair
or heart-break now.
Bryce, who up to this moment had
refrained from discussing his fathers
drew the old man a little
closer to his side.
What's wrong with your eyes, pal?,
he queried. He did not often address
MS parent, after the fashion of most
sons, as Father" Dad" or "Pop."
They were closer to each other than
that and a rare sense of perfect com
radeship found expression, on Bryce's
part In such salutations as pal"
