E. H. Blashfield, whose Christmas
angels hung large and greon near the
entrance to the American department
at the "World's Fair,' has bad a colored
picture in the last two issues of Scrib
ner's monthly. Both of them aro copies
of panels on a piano Mr. Blashfield has
decorated for Mrs. George W. Chilas
Drexel. This is tho first time that any
of the older magazines have used color
in their illustrations. Mr. Blashfiold's
color scheme is very simple blue, gilt,
green and a touch of red complete tho
number of the colors. In the back of
the book where tho editor of the
monthly magazine always humbly lo
cates his remarks under the heading,
"In the Field of Art" Mr. Blashfield s
decorated piano is moro exhaustively
treated. The panels are painted on the
sides of tho piano box and connected by
scroll work. The square panels repre
sent military, dramatic, sacred and
pastoral music The round panel on
the lid represents classical music. This
round panel recalls one of Mr. Blash
field s peculiarities noticoablo in some
of his world's fair pictures. The figures
in the panel are thoso of a youth play
ing a violin to a harp accompaniment
played by a maiden of Greek descent.
The girl is fully dressed, the youth is
nude. He has one leg crossed over his
knee in a position impossible to main
tain longer than five minutes. Art is
long and be may havo to sit on that
piano for two hundred years or more.
If the artist would only let the weight
of the roan's knee throw his right foot
up a bit Mrs. Drexel and her guests
would not bo in danger of "that tired
feeling" which must come to them if
they look at the lid of tho piano.
An article in the Bume magazine by
Mary Gay Humpherys disputes the
statement that working girls do not
hang together in a strike. She says,
"The sense of power that has ac
companied these changed, among its
varied intluences gives the factory-girl a
dignity of character that the unorgan
ized saleswoman cannot match among
her more attractive surroundings. A
man prominent in labor matters says
that in time of trouble thero is no loyalty
that compares with that of tho work
ing girl; she stands firmest; stays long
est; is less amenable to thoso insidious
-influences that are the most fatal with
which tho working-peoplo havo to con
tend. A gentleman, whose opinions a
number of centuries have thought
worthy respectful consideration, has
said that under the same circumstances
men and women will act pretty much in
the e.'me manner. It is suspected that
the ethics of women are influenced some
what by their physique. The huma n
impulses aro the same; and working
girls standing picket in a strike have
been known to use arguments of force
as the men sometimes do. An outsider
can scarcely comprehend tho complex
ity of emotions, casuistry, personal
reasons, abstract propositions, and sense
of the picturesque that have combined
to bring forth the word "scab." When
in a turbulent meeting a
rises to say, "1 don't think
for one lady to call another
the speech has no humor except to one
in some remote mental perspective.
Others bend their heads to escape tho
fast flying words, praying that they may
be averted.
I find this interesting bit of gossip in
an eastern paper concerning General
Sickles and his daughter. Many Lin
coln people noticed the beautiful girl who
accompanies her father on his western
stumping trip and the unusual fondness
they show each other:" A few days ago

witness of quite a romantic meeting. As
the passengers from the train came fil
ing along the platform I spied among
them General Sickles, who was return
ing homo from a speech-making tour.
As he neared tho waiting crowd a
young girl of Spanish type, of beautiful FOR STREET AND EVENING WEAR ARE BEAUTIES
face and figure, brownish-black hair
and deep black eyes, fringed with long,
curly eyelashes, Btepped forward and
exclaimed in a sweet, well-modulated
voice: "Is this not General Sickles?"
Ho bowed and answered, "It is." There
upon tho young .woman, looking him
straight in tho eyes, exclaimed with a
merry laugh, which revealed two rows
of petfect teeth, "Don't you know me?"
The General, again bowing and this
time also smiling, said, "Pardon, but I
must confess and also regret that you
have the advantage." Theyoucg girl,
not a bit "phased," looked at tbc Gen
eral affectionately and replied, "Look at
me. Don't you know me? Don't you
know your daughter Eda?" It was
Miss Eda Sickles, who, with her brother
Stanton, had but a few days pievious
arrived from Spain. Thoy bad come to
visit their father, and arrived while he
was away. Ascertaining tho day and
the hour when he was expected they
had gone to the station to meet and
suprise him. Miss Sickles is now about
nineteen years of age, and as her father
has not seen her since she was six yaars
old, it is not strango that at the first
meeting he did not recognize her. She
is his daughter by his second wife, who
resides permanently in Spain, as she
does not care for this country. Miss
Sickies and her brother aro at Brevoort
House. General Sickles is the happiest
man in town, and almost daily can bo
seen with his daughter making the
round of tho big stores."

Tho first installment of George Du
Mauner's ne-v story "The Martian" ap
pears in tho October Harpers. It will
bo strange if it is as successful as Trilby.
Nevertheless people are curious enough
to buy the magazine and Harper, may
make enough to pay them for tho 50000
dollars the story has cost them. Whistler
can write too. His "Gcntlo Art of Mak
ing Enemies' proved that. Hitherto it
has taken much less than Du Maurier's
attack to provoke a reply from Whistler.
Two can play at Du Maimers game
and Whistler is tho man to beat him at
it. If Scribners or the Century or even
McCIurc's could get Whistler to writo
a story for them people would go with
out a dinner for the sake of reading it.
If they could get both.
