 de La Sale, talented woman painter
 will not be allowed to occupy the pro. fessor's chair to which she was ap-
 pointed by the Paris National School
 of Decorative Art.
 The young women whom she was
 chosen to teach declared they would have none of her. They announced
 they would quit if woman teacher ! were put over them. Authorities of the school were compelled to give the position to a man.
 Will it always be like this? Will | women forever wish to receive in- struction, advice and service from men rather than from their own sex? Why 1 had this situation come about in l Paris?
 "Because"-the time-honored femi.

Bashkirseff, who came from Russia to Paris with her family when but very young girl, displayed remark 1 able talent. She studied in Paris at the famous Julien school and also with Tonyq Roberty-Fleury. Later on she conceived a great attachment for Bastien-Lapage. She made great ef- forts to please these men and win their approval in everything she un- deertook. "I am going to a ball tonight" she wrote in her journal" It is to please Julien. He says I am getting poky; that I am pale and that hideous wrinkles are growing on my forehead" Imagine the reception the impetu- ous Russian girl would give such com
