UNCHANGED BY ELECTION
he Academy 'f -he y-e
ft ter* of the
tVhite HOUM prospect hadn't any more flare in her
thoughts just then than the train she was going to
make back home in the afternoon. It did happen
that a rose- nitde its appearance at her place a while
later in the day. Bent In by an academy officer to con?
vey a friendly greeting on her return after her half
week's absence, but that was the beginning and the
end of ail the attention her return attracted.
Those dreamers of art and its romance can L-aln
a very good idea of what the reality of its study
is. here in the United States, from Miss Wilson's l>rief
and very unostentatious career at the academy. .
This is her third year. When she entered the
classes she had enjoyed sufficient previous instruction
to let her skip tlie first section in the antique course,
which is devoted to the drawing of t!;e human head.
She bejran with work from the full-length cast. In
her second year she passed to the life class, and this
work has Seen hers during the current term. She
has already painted, in the sense of having finished
canvases, but she has not exhibited
Another vear and she may regard her academy
atudles as completed, but thai is a thins Impossible
to consider as certain because plenty of students
on Indefinitely, either because they feel they still lack
some essential for their spfrial aims, or because they
find it convenient to continue their studies for the
sake of peroral p-ogres? in technique, or ucrause
they like the associations and Und I bat the atmos?
phere, with the instruction, conduces to better worn
than If thev were awc.y from the famii.ar class?
rooms.
Thare are 300 students, young teen and women, with
whom Miss Wilson has been cominp in contact for
two years and more on an average of four da>s a
week. She arrives at ? o'clock in th.- rr.nrr.ing and.
like her companions, works straigl.t ahead until noon,
when th? re Is an hour's recess for lunch The work
proceeds then until 4 o'clock, and the makes some
very necessary haste to catch, her train back to
Princeton, in order to be home in f.'iir;> :"'il time
for dinner.
Tliis. with the summer months out for vacation
aad the outdoor athletics. BOtaMjr tennis, which she
and her sisters enjoy. i:as been her lif* for the last
two years arid ov.-i. Her promf.i. businesslike.
Unnoticed re.urn was characteristic ot her nature anil
of to - devotion to the :irt she has chosen as her chief
interest .n life. Her fellow-students have found her
a somewhat quiet, if not reserved, associate, friendly
snd pleasant, lust about aa they hate found the real
ol the young people they meet a: the academy,
and they have found her hist 'he same after the
national election as she ?as before.
