These she has portrayed with delicacy, refinement, and sentiment. Her technique appeals equally to the layman and the artist, and her color has all the tenderness and charm that accompanies so engaging a motif." In November, 1903, Miss Cassatt held an exhibition of her works in New York.
The name of Alexander J. Cassatt will always be linked with the comprehensive terminal developments in the region of New York City which were begun almost immediately on his accession to the presidency and which were carried forward on bold and far-reaching lines.
"You haven't been?" inquired Etta. "No," said Susan. "Dan Cassatt and Kate told me about those places," Etta went on. "Kate says they're fine and the girls make fifty and sometimes a hundred dollars a week, and have everything servants to wait on them, good food, bathrooms, lovely clothes, and can drive out. But I I think I'd stay in the house." "I want to be my own boss," said Susan.
If, however, in her technique and in the feeling of quietness she conveys, Miss Cassatt recalls the classic tradition, she is intensely modern in her choice of natural, unhackneyed gesture, and faces in which individuality is strongly marked and from which conventional beauty is absent.
Her dark eyes, fine brow, good expression, and graceful pose of the head, as shown in her portrait, impress one more favorably than would be anticipated from this story."

Burns did not go to college. Neither did Shakespeare.
Here is Alexander Cassatt, imperturbable, irrepressible, and like a great Boy playing leapfrog with a Railroad Cassatt who makes quick-hearted, dreamy Philadelphia duck under the Sea, bob up serenely in the middle of New York and leap across Hell Gate to get to Boston! Let the parliaments droning on their benches, the Congresses pile out of their doors and catch up.
For these new quarters and the right to cook their food on the Cassatt stove the girls agreed to pay three dollars and a half a week which left them three dollars and a half a week for food and clothing and for recreation and for the exercise of the virtue of thrift which the comfortable so assiduously urge upon the poor.
He gave half a million dollars to various Presbyterian institutions. John Edgar Thompson, third President, Frank Thompson, sixth Vice-President of the Pennsylvania system, were also of Scottish descent. Alexander Johnson Cassatt, seventh President, was Scottish on his mother's side.
It is only the initiated frequenter of galleries who will pause to reflect how tremendously it costs to be so clear and plain. In her etchings and drawings Miss Cassatt early arrived at freedom of handling. The more responsive medium gave her an opportunity to produce delightful studies of domestic life while she was still far from having attained an easy control of pigment and brush.
