THE SPOHiEK.
(After Kipling.)
A woman tlicro vvus and the vvroto for
the dicks,
f As ycu or I mlqht ilo).
Sho told how to cut unci lit a dress,
And. how to slew maru u savory incK,
Hut she had never dene It hcrwelf, I
gUfFH,
(.Which nonu of her readers knew.)
O, the hours wo spent and the flour wo
sp nt
And the siiRfir wo wnMcd like sniul.
At tho bet of a. wum.tn who novel had
cooked.
And ndw wo Know that sho nuver could
cook,
And did not ur.ilcirUnml.
A woman thoio wns nnd bhc wruto right
fair,
(As you or I might do),
How out of a barrel to mako a chair,
To bo covered with chintz and stuirtu
with hair,
Twould iidoin any rirlor nnd filve It
uii air!
(And wo thought the tales was true)
I
O, the days wo woiked and tho ways wo
worked.
To hammer nnd saw and hack.
In making a chair In which no one
would t-lt,
A chnlr In which no one could possibly
t-it.
Without a crick In his lurk.
A woman there was nnd tOio had her fun
(Hotter than you and l):
wrote out receipts, and sho nrvr
tiled one
wiote nbnut children of cowe, tho
had none
lo told us to do whut sho never had
done.
(And never Intended to try).
1
PA ml It Isn't to toll nnd It Isn't to spoil
That brims the cup of disgrace
It's1 to follow a woman who didn't knov
bonus.
(A woman who never had cooked any
beans),
Hut wiote and wai paid to till space.

Mrs. William T. Smith has recently
received two line poitiaits of liar late

ptob.ibly excel In certain respects al
most anything done by that famous
artist. One Is a bust portrait which
Mrs. Smith presented to the board of
ttade, and the other, which Is plated
In her residence on Jefferson avenue,
Is a tin co-quarters view, which, to
those who knew Mr. Smith, is (lawless
as a likeness, as well as In execution.
It will be lemembeied that Mr Smith
placed the city greatly in his debt by
the magnificent gift of Mr. J J. Al
bright's picture to the Albilght Mem
orial Public library. It Is snld that
Chartran himself consider. td this al

It is more than a portrait, combining
the best qualities which go to make
up.i perfect likeness with the fascinat
ing elusive charm of a picture Mr.
Smith's poitinit, most flttlngl hung
in the gloat library of his late home,
so embodies tho benignity and nobility

1 HER POINT OF VIEW
Metnoiial day gives rise to a vailety
of sentiments loncerning its ohseiv
iiiRc. It is a beautiful custom, the one
day of the va- set aside when the
giavcs of dead suldieis mc nude blight
with the lloweis that fall a sweet sae
lillce to memoi and lionoi Giadually
It has widened in Its scope until the
last testing placo ot any one whose
friends still live is icasonably certain
to ho dectnated, If only by a bunch of
Held lloweis plucked by some child's
lingers. liven the unknown graves aie
often thus adorned. Tlie other day a
'joung girl was iivovhoatd to say: "Oh,
mamma, lot's- put a few (lowers on this
poor lonely giave. It's some little buby,
and there never Is anybody who seeins
to cnie about it, and we have so many;
surely grandpa and grandma won't
miss Just these." And the mother
silently nodded assent, and her ojes
grew misty again us she thought of
the quiet sleepers theie who never mine
would miss anything the woild could
give.
Kvery yeai a troop of chlldien fiom
the Homo for the Filendless walk se
dately Into Forest Hill cemetery to tlie
spot wheio n single shaft maiks tin
Homo plot, Thero are ninny graves in
long lows known only by numbers.
Some nre tiny ones, where aie luld the
little mortals who almost "never wept
or Hinlled," so bilef was their Jouinuy
through the world, into which too often
tlielr own received them not with wel
come and saw them lenvo unmourned.
Theio are long mounds, too, wheio old
women, who had outlived happiness,
sleep na well In their narrow beds, pio
vldeil by chaiity, as do tlielr nelghbois
In the oliadow of tha stately monu
ment acioss the avenue.
"How will the babies know who they
ato when tho Resuirectlon clay comes?''
unlously Inquhed ono small glil whose
handful of buttercups wuio placed on
tho uhoitCHt mound nt tho end of tho
row. "Don't you see, they haven't any
names, only numbeis, and suiulv they
will forget before Qubrlel comes." And
ono, far older and wiser than tho little
mnld, who listened to the question,
answered not, as she remembered the
multitude who had gone down Into the
silence, longing, yearning for a reply
to the same cillery concerning what
that Day shall be to all of us when
"eve shall bo changed In a moment In
the twinkling of nn eye."
"They have so much and we so little,"
said another, as she looked with envi
ous eyes at the beautiful wieaths of
hot-house roses which a group of hand
somely dressed children bore past In
a carriage. Hut Blovviy 'round tho
curve came another can luge, long and
nuriow and white within and without,
nnd the (pilot little occupant bore
flowers, too, on her childish bteast and
in hei still hands, but the black robed
woman, Bitting with bowed hoad in the
slow-moving vehicle that followed in
tho cortege, looked through eyes dull
with weeping and seeing the awed,
wondering children by the vvnyslde, In
voluntarily and with a swift, enioii3
motion sti etched forth her empty arms
toward the happy-heaitcd little group
with their poor, humble offering for the
other charltv vvnlfs who. In the foi est
shadows, slept a sleep as deep and
sweet as the slumbois of the ilch child
In her cosllv casket.
Siie Is a clever little Scranton girl,
nnd is In great demand for her mnny
social attainments and graceful accom
plishments, which entertnln her friends
on vat lous occasions Among these Is
a facility for iccltotlon. not elocution,
simply tlie lecltatlon of a blight little
sketch or a poem, which Is done, in the
midst of a porch party, or at a picnic,
or In the parlor of un evening. She
nearly always lemalns seated, but Just
"talks" off the selection, which Is
usually culled from newspapers or
niugazlnea, for she is an indiistilous
leader.
"When do you evet get time to leam
all these things'"' asked a guest the
other evening of the veisnllle young
woman. "Oh. I take n clipping along
as I go to walk and occasionally refer
to It, or when T am on a street car. or
waiting for some of my fi lends to dress
and come down when I'm calling," she
answered, with a slv smile directed
toward one who Is never ready for vls
Itois, or, as to that matter, lor any
thing. "A fine' memoiy'.' No," she replied.
"I naturally have a wtetched memoiy,
but It i an be cultivated Just like any
thing elc. It always vexes me to hear
people say thev never can leinemlici
anything. It Is lust as possible ui learn
to remember as it Is to leain to sew
or to pln the plntm. or or golf (well,
1 don't mean golf, for some folks, .voit
know, never can leain that In this life,
and I don't imagine they have links In
the next vvoild), but an.vbndy can learn
to remember if peisistent In tlie habit.
It Is a habit, just like most things we
do." Then she leclted a funny little ex
tract fiom Mr. Doolej's opinion on the
subjett of Agulnaldo. and she dltl it
with a tight, ilth biogue. and at the
earnest ictpiest of the assembled com
pany she follow ed It up with a tetidel,
pathetic stanza ot two culled fiom tit"
nowspapcis about a baby boy and the
Angel of Death, which, after all, under
Ills veil was, the Angel ol Meicy Noth
ing she said In her quiet, tonveis.itluiial
way was long. Sometimes it was 'on
polltiis, sometimes on love, sometimes
a gentle s.uiasm on most things that
aifett us In life hut It was liesh and
unknown to the elocutionist's toper
toiie, and how much pleasure hhe gives
with her own unique talent!

tel esting to me to note the thougnts.
the ambitions and tlie work of an oiig
Inul man or woman and tills interest
it was that piolonged my stay In the
Hraiiiard studio.
Mi. Hrnlnard has unquestionably
been Influent ed by the master, Aiiuii
Jean, under whom he studied In Paris
fur two ears. The decoiatlve rispeit
of a picture Is the one most fiequently
painted by him Both his oiith and
his faillltv. however, foi bid that he
should see only with Hie ee of the
decorator and paint onl with the un
usual and sometimes fantastic biush
ot the stained glass si html. He has
adopted a wise inuroc in devoting his
studv to the methods of those inasteis
of haiaiii'i and symphonic poitralluie
Velasquez, Whistler und Degus To
the Inst named hi piirtlculiu dues John
Hralnaid finnkl avow allegiauie and
Ii his wink Is lie most dominated.
Dominated Is not the exact wind to
apply to Hialuaitl's wink. He s so
Illicit to grasp the Intilcacies of a
method, the sectets of a mannerism
that one almost sas: "How ivmaik
ablyllkean"Aman Jean" that painting
Is!" But when you see a "ituine Jones"
effect in another. Hralnaid and a
Whistler method In still aiiothm, you
will feel as I do that he Is not really
dominated by any one man's method,
but that the ni Untie sense In him is
so comprehensive that It absoibs all
the methods that seem best and ie
solves them Into a composite manner
that constantly increases n iffective
nesss. Theso thoughts suggested themselves
as 1 saw Mr. Hialnard nt vvoik on Ills
large canvas after Rilward Hume
Jones' "The Star of Hothlchom." This
painting, while not completed. Is still
far enough along to enable one to Judge
Its effect. It Is, of cout.se. purely dec
oiatlve. essentially the fiesco, both In
treatment and effect. The color scheme
Is pitched m a high key. The com
position fills the eye with a sense ot
beuuty, nobly conceived, geneiously
piopottioncd and harmoniously exc
tilled. Thegentlo fuco of the Mother,
the awe and the devotion of Joseph
and the Wise Men aie all In the best
vein of Hume Jones. Tills painting
Is being done on un, unlet and is to be
placed In the, chapel nf the tonvent
in St Pauls parish, Gieen Ridge. It
will he finished within the vveik.
To my way of thinking, the best
lurge Work that Joint Hialnard has
done Is his pot trait, "Tlie Young Wi
dow." This was painted In Paris moie
than a year ago and It shows the ef
fect of nrtlstlc environment. The
widow wears no weeds, but Is gowned
in the rich blueU that delights an ar
tlst'B soul. A large hat witli black
plumes crowns tho graceful Hguro and
f i oni the shoulders negligently falls a
velvet cape. Sho is standing easily,
and hor hands, hor gloves and her oval,
pensive face aie tho only high lights
in the picture. The exjuesslon is well
caught. It is n melancholy that
should go with such nn nttlre, a mel
ancholy too light for widow' weeds,
too discreet for a gowning in color. The
attention is irresistibly drawn, as the
young widow Intended, to tho Inter
esting fnce and the dress Is deliberate
1 selected as the best possible setting
for her style of beauty. And such Is
woman,
"La Pnrislonne" Is another portrait
that Mr. Hrolnard painted In Paris.
Tlie color scheme In this Is brown and
dull green, The fair Patislenno Is
Heated. She has the tawny hair, the
brilliant red lips and the pallor ot 'ie
type that Hernhardt loves to
tra. "The Lady with White ,uVes,"
n Jnpanoto portrait entitled "A Har
mony in Pink and Green," a brilliant
effect in a girl's portrait entitled
"Paplllon Jettne," and the Mudy of a
portrait entitled "The White Lad"
are other examples of Mr. Hralnard's
skill In poitrnititre. The oilgiual of
'The White Lady" was sold while Mr.
Hralnnrd was In Paris.
In painting these portraits Mr.
Hialnard has gone to tho best sotnees
tor his methods. He adheres to no
puitlculur school, but extracts from
each the best thought and the best
form of endeavor.
Mr, 1 halliard Is also a lnndscape ar
tist of more than oidlnary pi utilise
His two plctuics fiom different
points of view in the Luxemburg Gur
dens, his "St. Goimnln Despies" anil
his landscnpe "At Harbison" show that
he has absorbed much of tlie advanced
thought and methods of the school of
which Manet was the high priest.
It Is not as a palntei of actualities,
however, that Mr. Hralnaid has been
most-ptollllc. The purely decorative
and the imaginative sides of his ait
natuie have manifested themselves In
title p.tges of the "Aubrey Heardsley"
mode, postots after the most advanced
Ideas, dainty water colois, exquisite
lit tone antl lextute, numerous clever
sketches of people nnd places on hard
wood panels and exquisite monotypes,
the printing of which Is done by a
ptocess Invented by Mr. Hinlnattl him
self. Some of these monotypes, par
ticulaily those printed upon Japanese

Mr Hralnard's .studio Is no show
