THE DENISON REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 31, 1913, THE ARTIST OF THE PLAINS By EDNA ELLEN WEEKS Copyright by American Press Asso ciation, 1911. I-Mwin Winston, a New York gen tk*Li ..u. being ordered by his daugh ter's physician to take her to a south western climate, where the air is dry as well as comparatively warm during the winter months, took board in a ranch house In New Mexico, spending his time riding and driving with bis daughter. One day the two met a cowboy whose appearance was different from those usually occupied in punching cows. His bair was rather long, and his beard was trimmed to a point. His eyes were large and wore a dreamy expression. He bowed to the couple as he passed them, taking off his som brero with a courtesy not common among those of his calling. The next morning the young man rode up to the porch on which Virgin ia Winston was sitting. He carried before him a box. while strapped be hind him were an artist's easel, maul Btlck and other artistic appurtenances. Raising his hat to Miss Winston, be said: "I noticed you yesterday when I met you and was seized with a desire to transfer your face to canvas. I have come to beg that privilege." The young lady did not reply for a few moments. She was flattered at the request, but knew that her fa ther's permission must be obtained. "I do not know you." she said. "In the east, where I come from, there is a certain formality about such mat ters." "I am called the plains artist," he said. "No one here knows anything about me, and I have no intention of informing them. If you will give me the required number of sittings I will come here and do the work on this porch." "And yonr price for the portrait when It is finished?" "It shall belong to yon." "Very well. I will ask my father and will let you know if you will come again." The next morning the artist of the plains rode up to the ranch house, found the father with his daughter and obtained his permission to paint the portrait He stipulated that he was to have the portrait when it was finished at whatever, price he should himself name, provided he wished it. but it was in no wise obligatory on him to buy it. These details having been settled, the artist set up his easel on the porch and was accorded the first sitting. Mr. Winston took a book and read while the artist put the out line on the canvas. The portrait grew under the artist's brush not only a likeness of Miss Winston, but a speaking likeness. Sometimes during the sittings Mr. Winston was present and sometimes be was absent. When he was present the painter worked on the girl's dress, her hands, indeed anything but her face. When her father was absent Miss Winston was kept conversing with her portrayer and on subjects that called forth such agreeable idio syncrasies as were in her. These ex pressions the plainsman transferred to the canvas. Neither father nor daugh ter knew anything about art, but they knew that something was being pro duced which greatly pleased them. When It was finished Mr. Winston said to the artist: "Now, my friend, 1 confess that you have painted my daughter just as she Is, and I want the picture. What shall 1 pay you for it?" "It was understood between us that you were to have it at your own price." "Supiose we make it a hundred dol lars." "Whatever you choose to give.-' The buyer wrote a check for $100 and took the picture. When the artist had departed Mr. Winston said to his daughter. "1 suppose a good photo graph of the largest size would cost that, and a painting is supposed to be better than a photograph." The daughter sighed, but said noth ing. She was sorry that the sittings were ended. She had never been so entertained in her life—that is, when the plainsman had been working on her features. At the opening of the warm season Mr. Winston took his daughter back to the east In New York they sent the portrait to a shop, to be framed. The proprietor looked at it critically and ask the name of the artist, since it was not on the canvas. Mr. Winston asked him why he wished to know, and the reply was that it seemed to fee fine work. This excited the owner's curiosity and he brought an expert to look at it. "It's a Kennard," said the man. stooping to find the artist's name. "Kennard Is a queer chap. Sometimes in a freak he will put a mark on his portraits. Here it is—that queried K. in the lower corner." "And who is Kennard?" "At present the principal portrait painter in America, and the second or third in the world." "Good gracious!" exclaimed the own er." and what would you consider a fair price for the work." "Oh, you can get anywhere from $3. 000 to $6,000 for it" "Where is Kennard now?" pursued the astonished Winston. "Trying to recover his health in New Mexico." After all Kennard made the buyer pay dear for the portrait, for the price of Miss Virginia was added to Um $100 raid. .p»ifi^wiyi iirrri *r 4$» «3» HAYES ITEMS. «j» «$» «gr *J» •$» «j» Hugii Kriihl spent a few days of ias: week with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Win.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Receipts Today Were 379 Cars in All —5,000 Cattle, 5,700 Hogs, 17, 000 Sheep and 160 Horses. This week opens out with a very fair run of cattle, about 215 loads. The trade opened out rather dull and the trend of prices was lower dur ing the session on beef cattle. Sup plies were fairly liberal, but not ex cessive, but advices from eastern mar kets were all more or less bearish which had a depressing influence on our market. Bids were generally pret ty close to a dime lower than last Fri day and a good share of the offerings sold on this basis. Choice to prime beeves, $7.20 to 7.70 fair to good beeves, $6.00 to 6.fi0 common to fair beeves, $5.00 to 5.90. There was a continuation of the weakness that prevailed the latter part of last week on butcher stock and it tooK more or less shaded prices to move the bulk of the offerings. This was especially treu of the good grades. Demand was not brisk from local packers and outside butchers seemed to be especially bearish so that salesmen were up against a very mean trade all morning and prices were anywhere from nearly steady to fully a dime lover, the butchers and canner grades showing less decline than the good to choice cows and heif ers. Veals were about steady at last week's decline and there was a rath pr easier tone to the market for bulls, stags, etc. Good to choice heifers, $5.00 to 6.00 pood to choice cows, $4.50 to 5.25 fair to good grades, $3.75 to 4.50 can ners and cutters, $2.50 to 3.50 veal calves, $3.50 to 7.50 bulls, stags, etc., $3.50 to 5.50. There was plenty of demand for what, stockers and feeders were on hand this morning and a good strong market for desirable fleshy grades, and anything of this kind found ready sale. On the other hand there was a lot of very ordinary stock cattle on sale, for which the demand was of the most indifferent character and salesmen were generally compelled to shade prices considerably in order to dispose of them. Choice to prime feeders, $5.75 to 6.25: good to choice feeders. $5.40 to 5.75 fair to good feeders. $4.50' to 5.25: common to fair feeders, $3.50 to 4.50 stock heifers, $3.40 to 4.75. Bearish advices from Chicago had a depressing influence on our hog market this morning and local prices showed a tendency to weaken, al though the local supply was anything but excessive. Some early business was done, chiefly on shipping account at figures that ruled generally stead} but the demand from packers provet decidedly bearish and bulk had tc sell at steady to about a nickel lower, the market closing 5 to 10c lower. The best heavy hogs on sale brought $6.20, while anything lacking in weight had :o move below $6.00, good bacon hogs selling from $5.90 downward. Receipts of sheep and lambs were rather burdensome this morning, amounting to about $0 loads, and the market proved very dull from the star with the trend to values sharply low er. There was a slow draggy demand for all kinds of killing stock and the trading was not only late in opening, bu: wore along to a tame finish in the afternoon, prices ruling 15 to 25 cents lower. Lambs, good to choice, $6.00 to 6.20 fair to god lambs. $5.25 to 6.00 good to choice, yearlings, $5.00 to 5.35 fair to good yearlings, $4.65 to 5.00 good to choice wethers, $4.15 to 4.40 fair to good wethers, $3.90 to 4.15. 111 _r,' "^r'--" •-v-r '*.r.T??K-^'.

Many women do not give much thought to the matter of buying stock ings. Their cost is so little that it would seem as if one could not save much, even if she were careful In this matter. But more can be saved by judicious selection than is thought, and 1p the course of a year or so this saving mounts up. If suspension garters are worn, choose the double top, garter-welt stocking, and then do not fasten the garter below the garter top. Some buy the garter top stocking and then fasten the garter below it, where It immediately proceeds to tear out. Stockings without the garter top can be made strong at this point by run ning two or three rows of machine stitching where the garter fastens. The white-foot stocking does not wear quite so well as the all-black foot The white part is heavier than the black part, and is apt to break above the Joining. Then, too, at the joining there is a slight thickening or the fabric scarcely visible to the eye. hut the sensitive foot soon becomes conscious of it For an inexpensive dressy stocking the Aercerized lisle is quite satisfac tory. It has almost the luster ot silk, costs less and wears better. A PRETTY HAT. A shady garden hat in pale blue Tagal with cap of old lace. Styles in Negligees.

EMPIRE BAG HERE TO STAY In Present 8tage It Is Thing of Beauty and Joy of the Season. There Is no end to the variety of form and color assumed by the ever increasingly popular empire bag. In its-present stage it Is a thing of beauty and a joy of the season, though, being a child of Dame Fashion, it cannot be a joy forever. You have no idea how much money can be centered on the development of these handsome and thoroughly charm ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments are seen on many of the more elab orate ones, some of which are made eutirely of gold, silver, copper or steel colored lace. Semi-precious Btones are used to carry out a flower pat tern or to highten the effect of con-, ventional designs. Inside are trap pings of silver, gold or Ivory, tiny vanity cases, mirrors, powder puffs, lip pencils and the like. Another idea that has caught the fancy of the woman who counts not cost, is an empire bag of brocade, either velvet or satin, to match her hat or its trimmings. Usually this hat is one of the small bonnetlike models edged with bands of fur, such as moleskin, Persian lamb, chinchilla or ermine. A band of the fur outlines the bag and the flap, which buttons over envelope fashion. Of course, the plainest of autumn suits would as sume a smart tone when worn with such ultra fashionable foibles. Bags of broadcloth of the same ma terial as the suit have deep chenille fringes around the sides and bot toms, and correspondingly plain mountings of gun metal, old gold or frosted silver. Any odd piece of silk or velvet picked up on the remnant counter may he transformed Into a strikingly hand some empire bag In an afternoon. And there is a splendid chance for a dis play ol individuality. Favorite Dishes. A woman who enjoys having friends to lunch or dinner has the happy faculty of hitting on Just tha things her guests enjoy eating. For some years she has made It a point to jot down the favorite dishes of this friend or that In a tiny note book in her desk. When her cousin Molly is coming to lunch she looks up her name, and there finds recorded that the aforesaid Molly is particularly fond of custard desserts of any kind clam is her favorite soup, and In meats she dotes on anything cooked en casserole. With these hints spread before her the matter of plan ning a meal is considerably simpli fied. Another friend has often said she never tastes such pies as are served by her hostess another likes tomatoes in any form, and still another prefers fish to meat The guests little know that they themselves have at some time given the hint as to their likings.
