Is also highly desirable that pictures
be in color, especially for younger chil
dren. We see so many brown prints
that we almost forget that the originals
are in color, and whenever good color
reproductions can be obtained they are
prefeioftle. Care should be taken that
the brown prints are the best, for the
cheaper reproductions fade.
The exhibit shown in the Ainswortn,
Kerns, Irvlngton. Shattuck and Chap?
man buildings consisted of some SO pic
tures, more than half in colors, loaned
by several firms in the city, by some
of the schools and by private individ
uals. It included in color 15 Rhine
prints, landscapes by Inness, McWhlr
ter and Mauve and examples from Tur
ner, Murlllo, Velasquez, Raphael. Mich
ael Angelo, Thayer. Blair-Leighton and
Jesse Wilcox Smith. Among the brown
reproductions were those from works
of Van Dyck. Israels, Whistler, Corot,
Shreyer, Millet. Kuysdael and Peter
Vischer.
Talks upon the pictures were given
to every class by a committee, followed
up by work with the teacher, discus
sion by the children and composition
writing.
The bright aspect of the room wltn
flowers and pictures and the pleasant
smile of the teacher will be remem
bered after the lessons taught are for
gotten. Children were very suscep
tible to the best in art and would re
spond quickly to the influence of the
beautiful.
The True, the Good and the Beauti
ful form a trinity and therefore te
lessons from pictures furnish not only
an art study, but a strong moral uplift."

The criticism meeting of the State

Thursday evening. Miss Alys French
sang and read an original story that

Pullman French, Mra L. Bartlett and
Miss Hammond read interesting sam
pies of their work as writers. A num
ber of aspiring young "auillers" from
St. Mary's Academy were present. Music
was given by pupils of St. Mary's musi
cal department, who did excellent worn.
A large number of women Interested
in social service work have been as
sisting in the relief of the local tin
employment situation. They have given
their time and energies to the cause of
the sewing-room that is conducted on
the fourth floor of, the Journal build
ing under the auspices of the Citizens'
Employment Committee. In the sewing-room
employment has been given
to a large number of deserving women
who have large families dependent on
them. The sewing machine agencies
have been generous and have donated
the use of machines and the public has
responded well, considering the fact
that so many appeals have been made.
To keep these women at work a little
longer more money is needed and do
nations are asked. Cash or checks may
be sent to Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett, 253
West Park street. All money donated
will be used in wages for needy women
who are willing to work for an honest
living and whose children must be sup
ported. Mrs. Julius Louisson Is chairman of
the employment committee. It1 has
been suggested that some of the women
of society or clubdom form "line dona
tions." Retting nine other women to
contribute 1 each and when the chain
of $10 is complete it will be turned
over to the employment committee.
With the approach of warmer days
many of the clubs will take lip the
question of the "pesky fly." Last year
we had a fly-swatting campaign in
which all the social service workers,
the health authorities, the parertt
teacher organizations and others were
interested. This year present indica
tion shows that particular stress will
be laid on preventing flies from multi
plying and on having the best traps and
means of catching him it ne does ap
pear.
There are a surprisingly large num
ber of cases of poisoning of children
from 1 to S years old from the use of
arsenical fly poisons, lormerly blot
ting paper soaked with arsenic was
much used. A little piece of this was
put in an open saucer with some water
and a little sugar. More recently snai
low boxes of tin with a wick through
the top have come into use, but on ac
count of the habit of children of put
ting everything to their lips these seem
to be as dangerous as the open saucer
of poisoned water. The fact that sugar
is added to draw the files makes tnese
boxes especially dangerous to young
cnildren.
These fly poisons are often exposed
on the window BUI because ntes are
attracted to the light. Babies also are
attracted by the light and the window
sill being in reach is therefore the most
dangerous place to expose poisonous
fly destroyers of any kind.
There are as efficient and more sani
tary ways of catching or killing flies,
and fly poisons if used . at all should
not be tised in any home where there
are children or where children may
visit.
Certainly in propagandas for health
conservation, child betterment and edu
cational movements this peril should
be recognized and a warning be issue
so that the coming Summer does not
witness a repetition of these fatalities
and accidents that are wholly prevent
able. Arsenical fly destroying devices
are as dangerous as the phosphorus
match. They should be abolished.

This review of the piano playing at
a San Francisco recital by Miss oiga
Steeb, lately of this city, appears In a
San Francisco newspaper, of recent
date: "The latent power in uiga steep,
the little pianist who played in Century
Hall, occasions almost as much wonder
as the strength that is obvious. Her
stature is all that is email, for- her
programme was a sample of pianlstlc
Immensity. Her rendition was an event
which will not be forgotten soon. Three
years since Miss Steeb's former appear
ance in San Francisco have brought b -to
a point of wonderful maturity for
one so young , in years.' still being in
her early 20s, and her grasp of musical
demands is no less than startling.
"Miss Steeb: gave . a. splendid display
of dynamic and interpretive intelli
gence, wnicn was snown especially in
the titanic majesty or tne Branma
'Sonata' In F. -minor.- Had it been
less well played, the number would
have been dreary, but Miss Steeb held
attention as in a' vice and modestly
received an applause that might have
turned her head. Ail the knots of the
Bach-Busoni were untied and laid out
in a melodious array, and between
these two prodigious numbers were
delightful gems sucn as mozan s
Pastorale Variee, the Paradies
Toocata' In A, Salnt-Saens "Alcesto
CaDrice.' each of which served to
show the daintiness and true femin
Inity of the player, for though she
has a masterful stroke she is not a
musical Sandow; her -virility suggests
the masculine, but preserves the deli
cacy of woman's fingers in the light-
running trills, scales., and pianissimo
tones." . .
