There are no sex distinctions in the art of the Garden City. Women are welcome to climb to the very summit of Olympus, providing they ' have the talent apd the pluck to get there. Laurel wreaths bearing the citys crest are made to fit all sized heads,with especial lightweight brands to suit delicate feminine brows. This was a wise provision; for, the young women of Chicago are doing work, both in the arts and professions, that is a1 matter of astonishment even to their progressive teachers. Especially is this true in the first and greatest of . all arts sculpture. Women sculptors, until within the past four or five years, have been exceptional in any country, and in America their names could have been counted on one Since the artistic success, how? hand. ever, of the worldg fair art in this country has been established upon a different basis add America has taken unto herself an art of her own; whether for better or for worse cannot be decided In this generation.

And tho most welcome guests to her beautiful siudio in Chicago are the children who come to her as sitters. She chatter. and makes merry with her baby models until their hearts are won and they gladly give her their sweetest smiles and coyest glances to be reproduced by the pretty clever fingers. Miss Julia Bracken Is another one of Mr. Tafts pupils who has seemingly famo while, stepped into teens. In Chicago out of her scarcely fame and wrinkles no longer collaborate. And yet Mis3 Brackens success did not come for the asking. She had succeeded not because of the help of the world, but in spite of an assortment of obstacles to be surmounted that would have discouraged genius even In the masculine form. Miss Bracken came to Chicago from Apple River, 111., when Just 17, She was a delicate girl without influence or full-fledg- She developed her talent at the art Institute in the evening. In the daytime she earned the money to pay for, that development. lAn ! interesting story, illustrative of Miss Brackens perseverance, patience anfl indomitable will power is told in connection with the work on her well-known statue Illinois Welcoming the Nations. Of course she was delighted the order from the received when she woman's board. The figure was to be pflt in bronze and she was to be paid tfUOO for it. two other Unfortunately shq received She had orders at the same eime.only three months time In. which to execute the three commissions and she succeeded in doing this to everyones satisfaction, except her own. And just before the time for casting the "Illinois," she announced herdeterminattion The ladies of of doing it over again. tfte board remonstrated with her, their willingness to accept it. But Miss Bracken was in earnest. The wnrk was hastily done and must be put rnr V; 4 aelde. The new model was slowly developed and the result was satisfactory even to the clever artist herself. And well It might be, for she had sacrificed to her high ideal a trip to Paris, that money me her studio expenses while at work. She had foregone a summers outing at Bar Lake, which meant so much to and in place of one in her ' the tantalizing dreams of fresh air, sunshine and woods, she had, as a reality,' a hot studio, the wetting and hammering of clay and only that fine, keen sense of the justice of her course to console her. y the statue of Illinois the Nations is pointed out in the rotunda of the ; state house at Springfield as the work of the leading woman sculptor of the west.

Chicago sculptor, has done much to develop this movement and aid in the cultivation of the new variety of virile, feminine genius that is manifesting itself in the realistic modern art of the west. Zulime Taft, , whose Miss and dreamy eyes at face thoughtful once proclaim the artistic temperament, is a Kansas girl and a sister of Lorado Taft, whose pupil she has been for several years. With Miss Taft in Paris is her most Miss intimate friend and Janet Scudder. Together they braved the fear of seasickness, the horrors of s, and the difficulties of establishing themselves in the novel studio life of Paris. Miss Scudders successes in sculpture date back to the acceptance of the statue "Nymph," by the art committee of the Indiana building. The figure was one of ideal grace and elegance and conspicuous among the exquisite decoration of the reception hall. She is a western girl, born and bred In Terre Haute, Ind., but because she believes In America and its enormous possibilities she does not refuse opportunities for broadening her culture and strengthening her mastery of the technique of her co-work- er. th, Y.Va-comi- To-da- ng non-essenti- al. hcme-sicknes- art. Both Miss Scudder and Miss Taft are availing themselves of drawing lessons in the morning classes of the French mystic painter. Lew Olivier Merson. Their spare hours are devoted to serious study of the masterpieces of the Louvre and Luxumburg, which pleasure, however, is not allowed to encroach Upon their professional work, the modeling of strong, realistic busts, that is really the object of their foreign trip.

There they were, as happy as Ifithey had all been at home. They said they were In prison like St. Paul, but they knew that the Lord would send his messenger. Talk about faith in Israel! They had more faith than I have seen in Manchester in all my born days! The next morning Cy was true to his promise. He went down to the police court, made an eloquent speech and had the satisfaction of seeing the lads and lassies walk out of the court acquitted.
