Gossard Co.) has accom plished much for the comfort and con venience of woman's dress. u . Of even greater importance than front lacing, however, has been the genius displayed in the actual designing and making of Gossard Corsets. So outstanding and thorough has been this work that, great as the front lacing principle is, the Gossard method of design and manufacture transcends it, and the two combined occupy a po sition so commanding that they are now regarded as an international vogue. ..v .'

When 1 reacted middle life a lega'cy enabled me to go abroad with the view to try to make a paint er of myself. I realized that I was beginning too late In life to hope for much success. One should learn to handle a brush wben the muscles are young and flexible. I studied awhile In Paris, but my fears were realized. In my concep tions I felt every confidence, but wben I attempted to put tbem on canvas I failed. I determined to return home by way of Italy, where I proposed to resale myself among the works of art I would And there. Iluvjng spent some time in Florence and Rome, I went on down to Naples, where I intended to take passage for America. I found here in the most beautiful bay In the world a temptation to make one more trial with my brush. While I was at work I fell ill. . My room was with a widow in a house that overlooked the bay. During my sick ness I would get out of bed and, seat ing myself In an easy chair, wrapped In rugs, sit gazing out through an open window upon the scene before me. What is especially fixed in my mind Is the varying views which seemed to oe passing before me like a panorama. At one time the water in the bay would be a deep, then a light green. - Again It would be a deep or a pale blue. There ' were times when there were streaks of silver in it At ive time the island of Ischla. to the northward, was bathed in purple; then Capri, di rectly before under the Influence of the setting sun, would be tinged with scarlet hues. ' My landlady bad a son, Emillo, about fourteen years old. in whom I was In terested, because be showed a consid erable inherent artistic taste. His con ceptions were of little or no value, but his ability to execute tbem was consid erable. " ; " ' "Ah, my boy," I said to him. 'If I could return to your age and devote myself to art I could put the beauti ful things I am capable of seeing on canvas for the admiration of the world. These pictures the bay afford ire commonplace to you. If they were to you what they arfe.to tue you would be esteemed a great painter." While her made no reply to this, I noticed that It made a great lmpres sloii upon him. I said It before 1 wan taken III, and afterward, wben I was suffering, be came In often to see me, not to tnlk. hut merely to hp with nie. I remember especially bis doing tills wben I sat In my easy chair before the Window absorbing the different view the bay afforded me. As soon as I recovered I sailed foi America and did not revisit Italy for eight years. On my return I found In the National gallery In Naples several paintings of the bay of Naples that brought me a strange sensation. They represented the bay under different conditions that had Impressed me dur ing my illness. As no human face is exactly reproduced In another, so none of these views could be, exactly du plicated on different days. What es pecially Impressed me was that there were five of these views, each one of which I had seen in nature itself. I looked for the name .of the artist on the painting, but It was not there. Accosting one of the gallery officials, 1 led him to the pictures and asked about the artist. "Those pictures," he said, "were painted by a mere boy. It was up posed thnt be would become one of he famous artists of the world, but he pro duced only these works, wblcb were ah executed about the same time." 'Wby is there no name on tbem?" "Because the boy who painted them would not ' consent to put his name there." , "Why not?" "T have understood that he had some childish wbtm that be was not entitled to any credit for their merit", "Do you know his name?" "Yes. It is Emillo Murelli." ' 'Emillo Murelli?" "Yes. signor. Why are you so sur prised?" ' "Eight years ago I knew an Emillo Murelli." I replied when I had collect ed my faculties, "n boy who had con siderable ability to execute, but not the true artistic individuality. He was a worker, not a dreamer. . I cannot understand how he could have produc ed these pictures." The official shrugged bis shoulders as the ItallacA do when they are stumped, and left me. I tried to find Emillo. who was now a man. and failed. More years have passed since then, during which 1 have taken n deep Interest In those subtle Conditions which on rare occasions In dicate a mingling of two differeut souls. I have put upon the Incident 1 have related an Interpretation of my owe, though I confess It is a mere sug gestion. 1 consider It possible that while my personality was weak and pliable through Illness, there was some thing In Emillo that enabled him to draw from me my appreciation of the iwntitlful scenes I saw In the by of Naples, and he was competent In him self .o transfer tbem to the canvas. 1 hellt-ve the day will come when cer tain laws upon which such Intermin gling depends will he known, .lust as the electric laws guiding wireless e- WassMed Directory FRATERNAL ORDERS.
