Too Early
Perfection
Br F. A. MITCHEL
Ilowurd Chldester was tin artist In
tovo with bis art lie began to make
pictures when be wan u child and be
fore bo was a tnnu had becomo fu
(uous. He paluted all dnv and some
times would have painted at night had
love for bis work alone that gave blai
an Interest lu It. but lu time be grew
accustomed to the praises It brought
blm. Between tbe ages of twenty-live
and thlrty-flvo ho would go Into a gal
lery where ono of his masterpieces
hung on purposo to hear the encomi
ums heaped upon It I'ersous might
compliment blm upon other gifts? und
he possessed several In no small de
gree?without exciting In blm the
slightest pleasure. It was to bear his
praises as a portrayer of nature that
found a place in bis heart.
Chldester was tlilrty-tlve years old
when he painted the great picture of
Ills life. A young lady one duy drovo
up to bis studio lu ber carriage, which
Ik) re ber family crest, and. alighting,
sent up her curd. Tbo artist's eye
lighted with pleasure. Miss Klcauor
Gray, whose name wns on the card,
was the most beautiful womau of her
day. When she appeared at functions,
at tbe opera, driving out n* she passed
every head was turned to look at ber.
At tbe time she made this visit to
Chldestor her beauty was simply per
fect. Not a Hue appeared anywhere
on her face, ber complexion was a
most exquisite pink and white, and ber
figure was a couiblnatlou of ravishing
"I have en lied," she wild, "to ask If
you could be Induced to paint my |>or
tralt I know it Is a great deal to ask
of tbe most famous living artist, but
you will, won't you?"
Chldester stood gazing at ber. wrap
ped lu admiration of ber beauty, for
some time before he replied.
"I cau do greater justice to your
benuty," be said, "by using you as a
model in a picture 1 am pnlntlug rep
resenting springtime."
"I'alnt me to show me at my best."
she replied. "I have uothlng but my
beauty to Interest me? to lie proud of."
"And I," he replied, "could not live
without my nrt."
The most artistic dressmakers were
applied to for designs for a costume
which would give the best effect, nnd
one was selected ravlshlug iu Its sim
plicity. The head, neck, bust, the feet
and lower limbs below tho kneo were
bnred: the hair was partly concealed.
Chldester saw before him a |ierfectlou
of beauty, and he Idealized It. Tbe re
sult wan his chef d'oeuvre. the mar
velous painting which was to hiui
what the Slsllne Miplonna was to Ha
phael. Tbe world saw und wondered.
What Chldester and all others deem
ed a crowning glory was In fact tho
misfortune of ids life, lie bad bccu
climbing, bad reached tbe crest and
must begin his descent. For n time he
did not realize this, then feared it,
and at last it fell upon him like a
death stroke. He hunted everywhere
for another model that would Inspire
hliu like the lust one. He found one
equally attractive of its kind, but a
different style, a child. He read sto
ries of children by Hans Christian An
dersen to till himself with their Inno
cence, theu bygun his work. It was
successful, but It was not his master
piece. Then the consciousness that
he had liegnn bis descent came to him,
and he fell Into melancholy.
Before a final giving up of all hope
he determined to paint his former
model, .Miss K lea nor Gray, in a new
conception. He hurried to her house
and sent up his enrd. When tho ladv
came uown to receive him he noticed
a tinge of melancholy on her faco.
"Wliy do you look sad?" ho naked.
She placed a linger besido ono of
her eyes and said: "I hove discovered
a line there. Do you not see it?"
Chldester declared that he did not
But this did not reassure her. She de
clared that she bad bloomed and must
now pass Into dccny. In vain ho told
ber that she bad not rcncbcd tho rich
est beauty to which she was destined,
thnt lie would paint one more picturo
of her representing her as "Summer."
He could not excite a hops. That lit
tle Hue would multiply till it cov
ered "her wholo person. Where there
was one today there would be several
tomorrow, nnd iu time she would be
covered with wrinkles.
"No," she said, not knowing that ho
was pleading for himself as well ns
for ber. "I have passed the summit
What you painted was the perfection
of my beauty. Wbnt you would paint
now would be a shade lower In the
scale."
A look of distress crossed his face,
and she asked what It meant.
"You have been describing me ns
well ns yourself," he said. "I, too,
have climbed the bill and stand look
ing Into the valley. I can never make
another picture like the ono I made of
you. From this time forward my pow
ers will wane."
"I cannot understand that," she said.
"You aro In your prime. There are
years of work before you. You will
climb higher."
"No, I will not climb higher, but had
I not met you I might have been long
er In climbing. Your perfection of
beauty, coming to you lieforo you
were even In inldage. brought my per
fection In uiy art long beforo It should
have con.e to me. Your realization, as
mine, will carry us down the quicker.
Our descent will bo slow, but It will
bo sure."
HUMOR OF A_SCULPTOR.
Carpeaux In Hi* Marry Mood* With
Napoloon III.
Although he was ii wnn of great ear
nestness and seriousness of purpose.
Carpeaux, one of tlie most famous
French sculptors of tho lust century,
hud a droll tongue and a capricious
humor that he rented on lackey and
emperor alike. Lecturo Pour Tons ro
tates soroo amusing anecdotes of htm.
At a reception at the Tnllerles Nn*
IKileon 111. engaged In a few minutes'
private conversation with Carpeaux.
At Its conclusion tho young sculptor
was besieged by a crowd of courtiers
and envious rivals, who wanted to
know what the emperor bad talked
n bout.
"Promise to tell no one!" whispered
("arpeaux as be drew the eager listen
ers to ouc sldo of the ballroom. "Well,
then, the cm|ieror was trying to bor
row 6 francs from me."
Some years later, when Carpeaux
bad received tho commission to do tbo
decorations for the Pavilion do Flore
of the Tnllerles. Napoleon often came
to watch him at work on the scaffold
that had been built against the faco
of the building. Occasionally the em
peror mounted aloft to this Improvised
studio, hung between earth and sky.
One day Car|>enux, In a particularly
merry mood, told him that when he
wished 10 rest from bis labors he
would make tiny pellets of clay and
drop them on the heads of passersby.
"It's very nmuslug," he explained.
"People stop ami look about them.
They can't Imagine whero the missiles
t'ome from.
"Here." he continued, holding out
soine.of^tlie little clay bullets: "try It
yourself "
"I wouldn't dure," laughingly said
Napoleon, amused at the idea of tho
eni|ieror of the French, mounted on a
scaffold, throwing |>elletb of clay at Ids
subjects.
"Hah!" muttered Carpeaux. "Whut'g
the use of being an emperor?"
Napoleon did not forget this remark.
A fejv months later, when the sculptor
sought a title, the emperor, unable or
unwilling to grant the request, ex
dn lined:
"Rah! What's the use of being Car
l>eiiux? Isn't that better than baron?"

It Is Iwrtl to overcome prejudice nnd
harder still to root out an old establlsh

taught plaluly and simply to elder

house management may be Inculcated.
To abolish curtains altogether from

would be. per hups, too much to expect

Feeling Heat and Cold.
The principal reasons that we feel
? ibjects that are cold when brought lu
?ontnet with the skin quicker than
those thnt ore warm Is that the skin,
being a very poor conductor of heat,
ibsorbs bent slowly from nu object of
i higher temperature than Itself, while
other objects which are cooler and
which In nearly every Instance are
iH-'tter conductors of heat than the skin
ibsorb beat readily from the skin, nnd
hence a sensation of cold Is felt at once.
