there isn't the slightest proof of

We hope it was not true. But
she lived at a time when poison
was given as freely as in the days
of the Borgias. There were so
many stories of Medici murders
that it looks as though it might
have been political propaganda
against Cosimo, who was detested
by the great Florentine mobiles
whose houses he had wrecked.
At any rate, the home circle
in those days, even though set in
riches, was not very cosy.

w ed Maria'S picture he proved
his right to the term-the perfect
%portraitiSt. Bronzino was the
first artist to paint boys and girls
as personalities.
For years cnlIQren nad Deen r
tificially posed as little saints and
angels. Bronzino's children look
straight at you. They + sitting
for their portraits without any
nonsense about it. No simpering
or sentimental posturing.
His coloring, his detail in tex
ture of cloth, jewels, flesh, seem
real. Although he painted adults,
his special contribution to art
and history, too, was the human
izing of child portraiture.
A rare artist, with an aristo-
cratic quality, who has made the
personality of a little girl speak to
you out of the historic pass.
Next week we viii see how
Bronzino. who is always more or
less stately. can make you smile
at the jolly likeness Of Maria's
little brother Garzia.

Officials of the State Highway De-

practical value of the dual highway.
c. c. Reynolds, superintendent of the
state police, said, in connection with
the new dual highway, that the safe
ty of motorists through the use of
the existing dual highway, has PROV
en- its value. There has been a
marked decrease in the number of
accidents on the dual highway, and
collisions of automobiles are virtu-
ally unknown.
Mr.. Reynolds said that the only
accidents that occurred on the dual
highway were fatigue accidents,
caused as a result of the drivers
either going to sleep entirely or driv-
ers while tired and sleepy. There
are practically no accidents on the
dual highway because of congestion
of traffic, the flow of traffic usually
being uninterrupted Drivers are al
so relieved from the strain of driving
on congested highways, while driv-
ing on the dual highways" he said.
Many favorable comments have
been received from motorists from
outside of the State, on the new dual
highway, and the highway is gener-
ally considered as one of the best
of its kind in the East. Highway Of
