An important event in western art
circles this month was the presenta-
ton to the people of Kansas City, Mo,
of William A. Bouguereau's painting.
The Girl With the Distaff,' by Mrs.
w. A. Knots of Kansas City. Mrs.
Knots purchased the painting for
$4,000 in order to give it to her fell
low citizens as a memorial to her
father, the late Judge G. o. Tichenor
The gift was made thru the Kansas
City board of education, and the pic
ture was installed in the Western CAL
lery of Art, on Tuesday, June list, 1922.
Gardiner Lathrop, general counsellor
for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, and former leader of the
Kansas City bar, made the presenta
ton speech.
Judge Tichenor was one of Kansas
City's most distinguished and deeply
consulted in virtually all civic mat
tiers, and his standing in the legal
profession was such that he was ap
pealed to by other members of the
bar when a final substantial opinion
or statutory Interpretation of the law
was desired.
The painting is that of a young
French peasant girl spinning in the
most primitive manner, in the open
air before the door step of her coun-
try home. The work is distinctly typi
cal of Bouguereau.
William a. Bouguereau died in 1905.
He was regarded as one of the most
representative of the "Classicists' an
exquisite draftman, and a conservative
coloriSt, consistently standing alOof
from all of the fads and isms of his
day.
Many critics have attacked his work
as being coldly formal and lacking in
soul, but it has stood the test of time
nevertheless. and his name is indelibly
written on the list of the "immortals''
Bouguereau was one of the masters
under whom young Americans aspir-
ing to be painters nearly always stud
led when they went to Paris. His
wife was a New England girl whom
he met while they were both studying
women were not admitted to the
Academy Julian, so the determined
future Mrs BOuguereau disguised her
self as a boy, in order to take advan-
tage Of the instruction afforded by
that famous school
The widely known Kansas City art
dealer and collector, Walstein c. F.
Findley. is said to have negotiated
the purchase of 1.-The Girl With the
Distaff" for Mrs. Knots.
1t was reported to the writer a few
days ago, that one man in Kansas

THIS CROSSING EXPENSIVE
Costs S125 Per Month To Move Street
Cars Over U. p. Tracks.

Don't get the idea that all of the
nickels and pennies you part with for
the privilege of riding on a street car
go to pay the car men and the juice
bill. 1t costs the Topeka Railway
company more than $125 per month
to maintain its crossing with the
Union Pacific tracks on Kansas ave-
nue. in North Topeka.
The Union Pacific having been there
first, any work or equipment neces-
sary to keep cars moving to North To-
peka is up to the Street Railway COM
pany. Every four years a new cross
ing must be installed and they cost
approximately $5,4OO. One might
think they should last longer but the
heavy locomotives pound the best ones
to pieces in that time. Added to this
is a maintenance cost of about 5000
per year.
According to Albert Patten, man
ager of the Topeka Railway company
there is no way of avoiding this ex-
pense. An interlocking plant will help
relieve the traffic congestion but the
trains will have to use the crossing
just the same. Before the sometimes
talked of viaduct is built, Mr.. Patten
says the company will quit business in
North Topeka. Interest on the street
railways part of the investment would
eat up all the receipts. he says.
1t wasn't SO bad in the early days
when the Union Pacific was the only
