"All evil, "says Herbert Spencer, "results
'from the non-adaptation of the constitution of
man to his conditions." "Which being true,
It is a comfort to know that "evil perpetu
ally tends to disappear" through virtue of
the continual craving of mankind for better
conditions, and a more extended distribu
tion of the best things of life. "With the
Adam-and-Eve-in-the-Garden-of-Eden story
in view, and the doctrine of total depravity
as set forth by some theological experts
under consideration, this philosophy is
rather perplexing and confusing. As to
Adam and Eve, it would seem that their
conditions were perfect made purposely
for them, how could they fall short of
happiness in a garden of delights, "a wilder
ness of sweets" in which grew "every tree
pleasant to the sight and good for food," in
xihich bloomed every flower to scent the air.
Into these divinely ordained conditions of
what was good Adam was created, and then
Eve as an afterthought to enhance his
bliss. It is baldly to be supposed that
For contemplation he and valor formed.
For softness slie and sweet attractive erace
or that they were created with constitu
tions not adapted to these most delightful
surroundings.
They Didn't Xeed .Any Reforms.
They had a "heaven upon earth;" what
more could be desired or wished by the man
described by Milton as he whose "fair large
front and eye sublime declared absolute
rule; whose hyacinthiue locks round from
his parted forelock manly hung clustering,
but not beneath his shoulders broad.
Adam the goodliest man of men since born
his son, the fairest of her daughters Eve."
They had no reason to clamor for reform,
to denounce tyrants, monopolists and mill
ionaires. They had no occasion to howl for
higher 'wages, or demand eight hours a day.
But, as the story goes, in the midst of this
felicity and periect conditions, there grew
the tree of knowledge, which was not to be
touched under pain of death and penalty,
non-adaptation, as Spencer defines it, or
total depravitv, as the theologians give it
name. But the devil had also been created
for some wise purpose, as we are told
sad through his tempting representations
i.vc was made to Hanker alter Knowledge,
with a desire not to be repressed.
As we all know, she ate the apple and
Adam lollowed suit with the direful result
es declared in the ancient primer that "In
Adam's tall we sinned all," and conse
quently have been non-adapted to our con
ditions ever since. In this state, as Spencer
says, we sufier from innumerable evils.
"All the sins of men against each other,
from the cannibalism of the savage to the
crimes a venalities, we see around us
to-day; the felonies that fill the prisons,
the trickeries of trade, the quarrelings of
nation with nation, of class with class, the
corruptness of institutions, the jealousies
of caste, the scandals of society are due to
the fact that men retain the characteristics
ci aiormerstate."
His Satanic majesty on Top,
After the devil had got his fingers into
the primitive pie things went headlong, it
would appear, to the bad. "When Adam,
the goodliest man of all the earth, and Eve,
the most periect of women, were driven
forth irom Eden, they were condemned to
hard work. The gronnd was cursed for
ti'.eir sake, and through their sin, sorrow
and death entered the world. Thev were
debarred from eating of the "tree of life,"
vhicli would have made them as gods, by a
flaming sword. From that sad day on, the
tons and daughters of men have had a
tough time. They Anally grew so out
rageously evil and corrupt that as the Bible
tells us, the Lord repented that he had ever
made man npon the earth.
Erotn this it is well to be seen that men
in the primitive ages were as shockingly
bad as they are represented all along in the
history of the world. Some think the world
is grow ing worse, but there is very much to
ihow that the ideal man is coming some day
slcwiy, but surely. Although the "world

as it auvauces is tending to bring about
'sweeter manners and purer laws."

The age has pretty much gone by when

In their turn are zealous in lighting the
fires of persecution against Catholics and
Quakers and enemies of their taith gener

died out cannot yet be shown to be true.
People who pride themselves on their
loyalty to the Prince of Peace still have
hard knocks for and show savagery tow ard
each other. Those who are most constantly
commanded to love their neighbors at
themselves are still ever turning up their
noses at them, and giving them the cold
shoulder, though acknowledging them in
vain as brethren and sisters. The "inhu
manity ot man stilt makes countless thou
sands mourn." Cruelty, oppression, dis
honesty, trickery of all kinJs are practiced
under the name of the law. Pockets are
picked legally. Lawyers lies are prover
bial. Politicians' promises are known to
be pie crust. The tricks of tradesmen are
part of the business, and go as far as possi-

who are proud to leel themselves too sharp

most easily imposed upon.
.Modern Adullt-ratlon of Food.
Adulterations are deliberate frauds. The
man who whatever may be hig pretensions
as to piety sands his sugar, waters his
milk, or sells shoddy for the real stuff is a
swindler, and he knows it. In fact, those
vtbo tor the take of gain weaken milk with
water or sell that which they know is im
pure may be plainly called murderers.
Milk is the standard food of infants. It
contains the elements upon which
depend their health and well being.
"With the milk weakened or im
pure, is it lhtle wonder that tne
"slaughter ot the innocents, "so often noted,
is set down to dishonesty and ignorance
rather than as a visitation of Providence,
llilk is largely used by both healthy per
sons and invalids. Its value as an article ot
dietis well known. When it is adulterated
in any way it is therefore to the injury ot
all. Dealers in adulterated milk in selling
it endanger lite, and should be treated as
criminals, not merely fined a tew dollars as
for s trifling offense.
The dishonesty and want of conscience
are as great in the adulteration ot coffee and
tea, though this form of criminality is not
so destructive to health and life. It used to
be thought that coffee in the grain was cer
tainly not adulterated, but the rapacity for
gain set somebody's wits to work and an
invention has actually been patented by
which coffee grains can be imitated in such
manner as to make the swindling of people
quite au easy matt er.
How Tea Is Doctored Up.
Tea is so disgustingly a matter for success
ful cheating as to make a "5 o'clock tea" a
time for the fasionable disposal of old rub
bish nnder esthetie conditions. Au inves
tigation of tea in London same years ago
showed there were established factories for
cheating in this favorite beverage. In these
the refuse exhausted leaves of hotels, eat
inir houses and other nlaces were redried,
colored with black lead aud other stuffs, and
then sold over again as genuine tea. Snu
rious tea is even manufactured in China,
where it is made of leaves of other plants,
glazed, doctored and then sold as the
choicest Pekoe or other brands. "With the
leaves are mixed mineral and impure mat
ters to further increase the cain of its sale.
No one can be sure he is not cheated in tea,
and no one can be secure from iron filings,
sand and dirt unless he really tests it
Women are, as a rule, fond of their tea.
The effort made in this country to establish
the English afternoon tea as a social insti
tution has been most marked, especially in
New York and Boston. The English
novels are full of it. The informal
drawing room teas left out would
deprive the writers of some of their
most effective scenes. But if it be true, as
claimed, that bv reason of free trade with
China, England gets all the -iest tea bad
as it is Americans will hardly care to cul
tivate a habit of drinking adulterated tea
that is dangerous to digestion and destruc
tive to health.
The Crlm-s of the Bakers.
The chief adulterations of bread is alum
or sulphate of copper, or some sort of chalk.
These are worked in in some chemical way
so that inferior flour can be used and more
loaves gotten out of it. This would seem
to explain why baker's bread is never equal
to the healthy, sweet, home-made article in
which reallv rood flour is required.
Sweet country butter has almost become
a memory, unless people keep a cow and
churn for themselves, or can find honest
dealers. Butter, we are told, is adulterated
by horse-grease, beef-fat, hog's-lard, mutton-fat,
and only the heavens above knows
what, in order to deceive into buying what
is falsely called butter at butter rates.
"Wine is doctored and manufactured until
now the grape crop, whether great or small,
has little effect upon the quantity sold,
though in times of small harvests the price
is advanced ot course. Champagne is made
of rhubarb and gooseberries, these ingre
dients and the chemicals used being cheaper
than grapes. In fact so expert have be
come the French, Germans and othersin
the manufacture of wine with drugs, acids
and cheap trash that grape juice is no
longer an essential.
The Frand Rnns Throuch Everything.
Seeds are adulterated as farmer's find to
their sorrow. Drugs are adulterated.
The people are cheated in woolen goods, in
silks and by some means in almost every
thing they use,
Are those who practice these tricks of
their trade moral men? Are- they con
sistent Christians? Are they, counting
their culture and knowledge, much better
than those who imposed the burdens of
slavery upon their fellowmen in
earlier davs for their own advantage? Is it
wonderful that a Christian Conference
should "call down" a President whose
actions proclaim that he uses the advantages
of high position for personal ends, who can
be bribed by a land syndicate into becoming
an advertisement for their making of money?
That the world is growing better there
can be little doubt, bnt, with all said and
done, there is small reason to doubt that the
strong and unscrupulous can rob the people
indirectly with as lew compunctions of con
science as did the barons bold in days of
old. They do not go out into the highways
and rob openly as in feudal days, but they
get there just the same.

BATS OF INTEL11QEK0E.
Their Ingenuity In Stealing Ecx Nearly De
stroyed the Peace ot a Household.
A little after midnight not very long ago
I was the sole spectator at my suburban
home of an interesting, not to say astonish
ing, feat on the part of three rats, says a
writer in the New York Herald. Since that
time I respect these little animals as much
as I detested them before I became aware of
their ingenuity.
Nearly every morning for two weeks my
wife reported to me that during the night
all the eggs in the kitchen had mysteriously
disappeared. She could account for it iu
no way whatever. Of course, the first thing
we did was to suspect the servant.
"She could steal much more profitable
things than eggs if she is really in that line
ot business," I remarked.
My wife, however, was inclined to take a
pessimistic view of my opinion and replied
that one couldn't always lelL
As the thefts continued from night to
night I determined to sit up and solve the
mystery. Toward midnight, therefore, I
took up a position in a dark corner ot the
kitchen, from which I could see with
out being myself observed. The little
basket containing the eggs stood in its usual
position on the window sill, about two feet
from the floor, where the servant placed
them, believing that to be a cooler place
for them than the pantry. The gas in the
hallway was turned low, casting a dim,
gloomy light in the room. The awtul mid
night stillness, broken only by the ticking
of the clock in the dining room, made me a
trifle nervons. Presently I discovered three
dark little objects moving noiselessly into
the room.
Heavens t what creatures are these,
thought I, as a cold perspiration made it
self felt I could hardlv believe my eyes
when, as they moved by the corner iuwhich
I stood, I saw they were only rats. I felt
relieved, but my interest was aroused. In
a moment they were up on the window sill
and poking their little noses in the basket
of eggs. One of them, smaller than his
two companions, jumped up on an
egg and sat on it, as I thought
then, with a view of hatching it He gave
a peculiar whistle-like cry, when the other
two rats jumped up, one taking a position
in front, the other behind him. Before I
could realize what they were doing the
three rats were on the floor.
As they came closer I was astonished at
what I saw. The little fellow tightly
clutched an egg with his fore and hind legs.
In his mouth he held the tail of his com
panion in front, while his own tail was held
by the fellow behind.
Thus they carried him along, taking care
that he did not touch the ground for tear of
breaking ibe egg. In this way thev de
scended the stairs, jumping from step to
step with great care until they reached
the bottom. I was too surprised and inter
ested to disturb these ingenious depredators,
and thus watched them repeat the same
process with the remainder of the eggs.
They were nearly half way down the stairs
when my wife, who had been anxiously
awaiting developments up stairs, cried in a
tremulous voice:
"Are you still there?"
The little quadruped dropped the egg
and the three scampered off My wile
screamed, but with a laugh I calmed her
immediately and then told her what I had
seen.
"I always imagined it must be something
like that," she said, with periect equanim
ity, after she had heard my story.

MARGARET E. WELCH'S FRESH GOSSIP
Eimj FOR THI DISPATCH. 1
"To be as good looking as possible and to
be physically well one must in general be
happy," is one of the tenets of a gospel of
health recently preached by au authority.
Another, a Frenchwoman, goes even
farther and forbids "weeping, sulkidg or
getting angry" as foes to beauty and as ic
viter of wrinkles and disfiguring lines iu
the face. Vanity undoubtedly impels much
ofthe enthusiasm over hygienic matters
among women, but one can forgive the
cause in the advantageous effects. Habits
strike in. A woman who finds it is not
good form to get in "a raee watches herself
that she does not at least betray that she is
in one and presently the calm expression in
reflex action begets a calm spirit.
"Think lofty things" says a preacher,
"and the countenance will show the
thought" "Which is a suggestion some
of the pursuers of beauty under the modern
regime need. In the effort to develop
physical perfection, mental growth is over
looked. "I'm almost afraid sometimes," said a
white-haired woman at a club meeting not
long ago, "when I see the attention given
to athletics, the Del Sarte system, physical
culture, or whatever name under which the
enthusiasm exists, that the coming woman
ig going to be a superb animal nothing
more,"
American "first families" are securing
that desirable adjunct ot the class old serv
ants. Quite frequently one sees among the
death notices one telling that Jane or Michael
"for 40 years a faithful servant in the
family of so-and-so" is dead, and notice of
the funeral from the family residence is ap
pended. At the funeral ot young William
H. Vanderbill last week, a group of old
servants walked alter the family, and at the
wedding of Miss Chapin to the Marquis du
Villard the old black "mammy, who had
cared for the bride when she was a baby,
held her "honey's" train as she descended
to the drawing room for the ceremony.
The lorgnette is superseded this spring in
the dainty fingers of fashionable women by
the Louis Quinze eve glasses, which are a
sort of compromise of the two extremes
of lorgnette and pince-nez. Mademoi-
telle usually wears the glass attached to a
cord, a dark green cord being especially
stylish If the toilet will bear it, and thrusts
the graceful trifle in her corsage when not in
service. It is of deep yellow gold, heavily
chased and elaborately rococo, and the
handle is provided with a link into which
the gloved second finger is skillfully worked
and the needed adjustment to the eye se
cured. To touch it with more than this one
finger is to betray ignorance ofthe essential
"proper thing, you know."
"Form and color are cheap," says Ed
mund Russell; "it is texture which is
costly. Put form and color in your homes
if the fabric be not of the best" This ad
vice is recalled before the Italian image
vender's stand. Exquisite figures in plaster
of pans of famous marbles can be had for
two or three dimes, in which grace of poise,
force of action, everything but the enduring
quality are reproduced. A bust of Beethoven
or Mozart, in a striking likeness, can be got
for 20 cents, and when placed up on a piano
with a scarlet paper Japanese fan open be
hind it becomes a suitable and pleasing
ornament Or a bust of Goethe, Schiller or
Dante on a corner bracket in the
library, with a bit of crimson drapery to
bring it out, satisfies as well in plaster of
paris as in marble, while it lasts. A sug
gestion is to paint the figures in orange
shellac to give tfiem the rich tinge ot old
ivorv. Every home with crowing children
should have a reproduction in some form of
the Yenus of Milo. It is au education in
itself to be brought up with it
Mothers getting their young boos ready
for any camping or boating expedition will
do well to see that pajamas replace the or
dinary night shirt in their wardrobes. Camp
beds rarely offer good tucking-in facilities,
and restless sleepers, as boys usually are,
do not improve matters. In this comforta
ble outfit, however, the risk ot cold is done
away with, no matter what the vicissitudes
of blankets. Only a few shops in the largest
cities keep boys pajamas, but they are
easily and cheaply made at home, particu
larly now that most of the pattern houses
send out cut-paper models of them. Outing
flannel at 25 cents a yard is the best possi
ble material, and four yards makes a set tor
the average 12-year-old boy.
At a recent fashionable wedding the bride
maids wore lovely gowns of white silk
dotted chiffon made over pink eilk. The
corsages were trimmed with ruffled chiffon
embroidered in pink rosebuds; large white
hats of lace straw had clusters of pink roses
and "Watteau bows of pink ribbon. White
silk parasols with white enameled sticks were
carried, and the loose silk pockets formed
by the closed ribs were thrust full of sweet
peas and pink rosebuds; a wreath ot rose
buds and long ribbon ends finishing the
handles.
The maid of honor was in white chiffon,
white leghorn hat with pink plumes and
carried a garland of rosebuds tied with pink
ribbons. The stately bride herself in satin
and dnchesse carried white orchids and
orange blossoms.
""Whatever lessens the burden of domestio
labor," says an experienced housekeeper, "I
consider a good investment I live in an
old-fashioned house with the wood floors

On a suburban lawn the other day was
noticed an odd looking framework which,
it was explained, was a lawn screen in pro
cess of development The clever woman
had taken a large three-fold clothes
horse, painted it green, and set it
firmly iu the turf, nearly up to
the first crossbars. On a framework of one
panel the netting of an old hammock was
stretched, and iu the earth at the base the
rapid growing California rose was sending
up halt a dozen shoots. The second panel
had straight cords to the top of the frame,
alreadv half covered with morning glory
vines, and a Virginia creeper was doing its
best to fill up the third panel. Before mid

"I'm almost ashamed to go to Europe,"
said a young woman on the eve of sailing,
last week, "because I've seen so little of
my own country."
"That's easily managed," laughed her
companion; "when a German asks you what
Niagara is like, yon say you don't know,
and ask him if he has seen the falls of the
Rhine; if an Englishman wants to know
how the Yosemite looks, tell him you have
never seen It, as it is four days journey
from your home, and ask him how to get to

do of our national attractions which stretch

cultivated Italian who confessed he had
never seen Vesuvius."
The Swiss belts in suede and leather are
deep-pointed girdles which lace down the
front These are often made of the gown
material and are permanently attached to
the skirt
An extremely pretty traveling toilet
seen on a girl of 10 included a skirt of
shepherd's plaid, dark blue-and-white,
made with a girdle belt and worn over a
plain blue shirt waist of French percale. A
reefer of dark blue flannel and a wide
brimmed blue sailor hat with a band and
flat side bow finished the suit, which wa3
both stylish and child-like.
In fitting a room with odd chairs it is well
to remember that while shape and covering
may vary indefinitely the wood should be
the same. All over upholstered furniture,
though much used, should be avoided in a
parlor that is to be very commonly used.
If it is tufted it is very difficult to keep
clean, and constant use of chairs and sofas
sags the springs. Nor should frames in
elaborately carved open work be chosen
where the dally dusting is likely to be a
brief service. Such furniture needs hours
of careful going over every day to be kept
in good order, .and a handsome thing poorly
cared for is worse than a simple thing in
perfect oondition. Smooth rolls and curves
without the filagree ornamentation are
suitable styles for serviceable wear and are
easily kept clean.

Columbus, says Costelar in the Century,

high-strung and sensitive, qui ckly respon

his nose aquiline; his complexion fair, even
inclining to redness, and somewhat dis

his eyes clear; his brow high and calm, fur

In the life written bv his son Ferdinand
we are told that Columbus not only sketched
most marvelously. but was so skillful a pen
man that he was able to earn a living by
engrossing and copying. In his private
notes he said that every good map-draftsman
ought to be a good painter as well, and
he himself was such in his maps and globes
and charts, over which are scattered all
sorts of cleverly drawn figures. He never
penned a letter or began a chapter without
setting at its head this devout invocation:
"Jesus cum Maria sit nobis in via."
Besides his practical studies he devoted
himself to astronomical and geometrical re
searches. Thus he was enabled to teach
mathematics, with which, as with all the
advanced knowledge of his time he wa3
conversant, and he could recite the prayers
and services of the Church like any priest
before the altar. He was a mystic and a
merchant, a visionary and an algebraist

SOPHIA HAYDEN'S SPLENDID WORK
Her Flans for the World's Fair Excite the
Admiration of Artists.
THE SPACE AT THE EXPOSITION
rCOBRFSFONDEITCI or THE DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 10. It now being pretty
well understood that the Woman's Build
ing for the Columbian Exposition, in all its
artistic features, is to stand as the result of
the inspiration of woman's genius, I take it
for granted those interested in the beautiful
building aud its object will be alike inter
ested in hearing of the clever little woman
to whose genius we are indebted for it
It is possible you may not know that Miss
Sophia Hayden, the successful competitor
for the plan, is a Chilean, a native of San
tiago. Her mother was a Peruvian of Span
ish ancestry, but her father is a full-blooded
American. As the story goes, Mr. Hayden
was practising dentistry in Santiago, hav
ing gone there out of natural love of travel,
vheu he saw, fell in love with and married
the Spanish girl, afterward Sophia's mother.
It is said that in Miss Hayden's blood on
the mother's side are hereditary gifts of her
art; but if her talents are due to her Span
ish mother, surely the no less important
matter ot opportunities for developing that
talent are due to her Massachusetts father,
who realized that better schooling could be
secured in Boston than in Santiago, and so
placed his daughter there with his own peo
ple at quite an early age.
She Is a Natural Artist
Only the first six years of Miss Hayden's
life were spent among the adobe huts and
white stone palaces of Santiago. Spanish
was her first speech and drawing her first
pleasure, which is said to have been almost
from the beginning strong aud rich in fanoy
and full of the manifestations of natural
talent
Physically she follows ber mother's
model, and in nature and traits of mind she
is decidedly Latin. If we accept the
authority of Vasari, a cautious and circum
spect writer of the sixteenth century, we
are to believe it undeniably true in art that
it is chiefly from this division of the human
race women of distinction in art have come.
In his "Lives of Most Eminent Painters,
Sculptors and Architects" he devotes a
whole chapter to women, and from this
source, which we must accept as reliable,
we learn that in those days commonly
called "dark" there were enough women
personally known to the great writer who
had achieved distinction in these arts to rob
our own enterprising age of much of its as
sumed novelty.
But let us not quarrel with the service of
Miss Hayden's talent, but rather rejoice
that she has it, and in such remarkable de
gree. It is a degree many more might take.
Obviously there is room for women in
architecture, yet I understand there are at
this time but' two studying at the Boston
Institute of Technology, conceded the best
equipped school of its kind in the country.
It was from this school that Miss Hayden
was graduated. She stands alone as the
only woman having taken a full course.
The Other Prize Winners.
Miss Howe, who received second prize in
the competition for woman's building, was
a classmate of Miss Hayden, but had only
taken a two years' course. She is now prac
ticing successfully with a well-known Bor
ton firm. Miss Hays who received third
prize for a pleasing designbas had no espe
cial training or art education. She is more
inclined to literature, for which she possesses
demonstrated talent
When Miss Hayden read the announce
ment by Mrs. Palmer, President of the
Board of Lad v Managers, of a prize for the
best design for a woman's building for the
World's Fair, she had not yet entered upon
the practice ot her profession, but was
teaching drawing in a manual training
school at Jamacia Plain. After school
hours was of course the only time she could
call her own.' Yet in the incredibly swift
time ct three weeks she had her plans per
fected and sent in. After they had been
accepted it was thought necessary that a
few more committee rooms be added, and
proposed that a third floor and the novel
feature of a roof garden, or open air sitting
room, be included in the plans, there being
none on any one ofthe other buildings; also
that the central portion of this roof garden
be inclosed, thereby giving several more
committee rooms in each wing. These changes
being somewhat radical, Chief of Construc
tion Burnham feared Miss Hayden might
not be able to satisfactorily make them.
He supposed her capable only of a pleas
ing design, but that she was not likely to
thoroughly understand construction and
doubted whether Mr. Kichard Hunt, Presi
dent of the Society of American Archi
tects, who was first intrusted with the im
portant commission of the Woman's Build
ing, would not have to be appealed to for
such modifications and chanzes in the origi
nal plan as were now thought necessary.
the Astonhhed the Old Professionals.
However, Miss Haydeu was called to
Chicago April 1 by "Chief Burnham and
given a trial at the changes to be made,
upon which she showed such remarkable
talent, facility and originality of thought
that she won the highest praise from Mr.
Hunt, Mr. Burnham and all other archi
tects who noticed what she was doing.
Her ability was noted with all the
more pleasure by these men long in
the profession because she was both young
in the work and young in years, having
been graduated only a tew months before,
and at'the time but 28 years old.
Upon her call to Chicago. Miss Hayden
of course resigned her position as teacher,
and it almost goes without saying she is not
likely to keep the future wolf from her
door by resuming her wori in the school
room. It is prophesied she will make her
future home in Chicago, and that her tor
tune w ill come to her taster than she will
be able to accept it
The cost of the woman's building Is $200,
000, and on this sum Miss Hayden receives
the usual fee accorded architects, which
alone would enable her to sit down iu luxury
and enjoy the laurels won upon this monu
mental work while waiting ',lor
work to come. She now ocenpies
one of a series of offices set
apart for the constrnction department
of the World's Fair. Her office is contigu
ous to Chief Burnham's. Youn? men work
by her side with pride rather than Jealousy. J
Miss Sophia Hayden.
Mr. Burnham consults with her as freely
and with as much confidence as he does with
any man on his force. Many architects
of consequence have examined her draw
ings and specifications for the contractors,
and are amazed at the depth of her knowl
edge and enthusiastio iu praise ot her apti
tude. One and all predict for her distinc
tion aud ample material reward.
The Girted Tounff Woman' Femonnlltv.
Miss Hayden's characteristics, both in
tellectual and social, as might be expected,
are interesting. The gravity of the South
is in her eyes, responsibility lingers about
her mouth, and intense attention to each de
tail of her work indicates a mind patient.
plodding: and persistent Bv her friends she
is quoted amiable and modest too modest
altogether is my comment, since it is with
the greatest difficulty she can be
induced to talk of herself or her work. And
as for any excess of amiability, it is only to
be expected that I failed to discover it
when left to secure you her picture by
strategy.
"It," as someone has so prettily said, "her
eyes suggest the poet, her nose the woman
of nobility and her mouth the sympathetic
soul," it is still more true that her bands
bespeak the artist They are small, well
shaped and rather thin, fingers tapering to
well-curVed ends. Her wrists are stronp,
and the action ot her hands both forceful
and graceful. Her complexion is of a rich
olive, which gives her a South American
cast; her voice is soft and full, and her lip?,
as you see, are quite suggestive of the Latin
type.
There is to be a concerted movement on
the part of lady managers not to allow the
woman's building fo perish, but to have it
stand eternal as a memorial of the ambi
tions and power of the sex that created it
and for whom it was created.
Now Is the Tlmi to Act.
While on this subject of the Woman's
Building allow me to say to all women en
gaged in work for the Exposition that I am
requested by the Board of Lady Managers
to state that it is most important the deco
rative art societies, exchanges for women's
work, educational and industrial unions,
should secure space as early as possible tor
a co-operative exhibit, such as is contem
plated, in order to carry out the proposed
plans. It is hoped and recommended that
secretaries of these societies will notify the
State boards it they desire circulars of in
formation. Furthermore, it is asked that
if the board meetings have ended for the
season a special meeting be called in order
that some definite plan of action may be de
cided upon to take effect when the meetings
are resumed in October.
With this beautiful temple to house and
exhibit the proof of woman's energies, and
with the eyes of an alreadv astonished
world upon her, she should, without urging
or other incentive than natural pride and
Eatriotism, set about proving that the half
as not been told and that much more than
can be put into words will be shown in the
Woman's Building in 1893.
