It would seem that he was a greater artist and a better man than is commonly conceded. In failing to honor him California suffers. He should be cherished as her early interpreter, if not as her spirit's discoverer, and ranked high among those who have contributed to her fame. He is the representative literary figure of the state.

Consider the length, the line, the eloquence of design! Ah, Monsieur, once again, you are an artist! The Cure shall wear it indeed but he shall! Then I shall look like him, and perhaps get credit for some of his perfections." "And the Cure?" said Charley. "The Cure? the Cure? Tiens, a little of my worldliness will do him good. There are no contrasts in him. He must wear the coat."

As a shoe-maker, the fact is, I hold you in great esteem, but as an artist and critic I honour you even more highly. I beseech you therefore to give your attention to a little song by which I hope to-morrow to win the prize. I am eager to be told whether you think well of it." While talking, he strums, as if casually, upon his lute, to keep the lady from leaving the window. "Oh, no!"

Rather, if anything, should they be attenuated. But unfortunately exaggeration happened to be inherent in the draftsmanship of both Cruikshank and Browne. And, having said this, I may as well finish with the subject of the illustrations to Dickens' books. "Our Mutual Friend" was illustrated by Mr. Marcus Stone, R.A., then a rising young artist, and the son of Dickens' old friend, Frank Stone.

And now ma mère can still hear the voice of Paris calling as did Louise in the first act, and she does not have to curse it as did la père in the last."

"Don't be hard on a poor artist who takes her opportunity when she finds it." "May I ask how you came to know of the opportunity, Madame Fontaine?" "Entirely through your kind sympathy, my friend," was the cool reply. "My sympathy? What do you mean?" "Was it not you, David, who considerately thought of Minna when the post came in?

Among the Canyon visitors who came down to inspect the results of our trip were Thomas Moran, the famous artist, with his daughter, Miss Ruth, whose interest was more than casual. Thomas Moran's name, more than any other, with the possible exception of Major Powell's, is to be associated with the Grand Canyon.

Cautiously she probed his thoughts now tender and maternal toward him in his tired moods, now alive and interested as she got him talking. Bits came out.

Only the door'll be on the latch, and if you choose to come in why, who's to stop you?" "Right," laughed the other. "I'm an artist, I am, as you may recall. I'd like to paint you in your sleep.
