The front-lacing prinicple (originated
by The H. W. 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 .'
Regardless of the cost every Gossard
Corset conforms to but one standard
In style, workmanship and wearing

A Case of
Mingled Faculties
I am un artlHt un American and
till recent years forced to make a liv
ing as best I could illustrating for
magazines. 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
