I was quick to understand the phenomenon. It was the Carnival season. Only the night before I had been to the great opening masquerade, a famous affair, for which this art-loving city is noted, and to which strangers are drawn from all parts of the Continent.
The establishment itself was barbarous, and could not possibly have thrived under the art-loving, home-protecting eye of the Athenian Pallas.
C. D. Gibson. Whistler and Sargent, of course, are not counted as Americans. There is not a single American sculptor whose name is known to one in a hundred of, again I say, educated and art-loving Englishmen, though I take it to be indisputable that the United States has produced more sculptors of individual genius in the last half-century than Great Britain.

It was a group to attract attention at any time. But it was the fourth member of the group that drew the eyes and held them to-night.
There never was an art-loving nation. In the beginning man went forth each day some to battle, some to the chase; others again to dig and to delve in the field all that they might gain and live or lose and die.
