HISTORY TOLD IN GROUPES. The .Result of Two Months of Har4 Work by Miss Bowen-An At tempt to Represent Accurate ly by Models Scenes in the Early ory of Amer. In the only children's museum ir the world, the one in Brooklyn, ma3 be seen an attempt to make histori tangible by carefully studied ani modelled groups. Miss Agnes E Bowen has recently completed a ser ies of three groups, illustrating th Spanish, Duich and Cavalier typei of early 'ettlers within the limits 01 tln 1 ' states. It took twt months of eight hours work a day t< make these three groups. Standard histories of costume wer< eonIlted in French and Gernan a well as Engli.. Old prints wer< sought and copies of paintings of the period represented. History was stud. ied to geU the domestic and social cit. of New York and the territory as fai afield as Canada were ransacked foi materials and properies which would truthfull exhibit what the histories hand taught. As a result the three groupes are rorhi';orical docuenlllts, telling their slory in wood papier mache, tex tiles and some dozens of other mater ials instead of in paint or printer's ink. The Dutch group rc-tyesents a trad er's log cabin, surrounded by a stockade, in the woods near Albany. There is a painted forest background, 1041t i m.. &.s are of twigs, kiln died and dipped in the wax us ed for vegetation Museum of Natural History. At the door stands the Dutch wife. ill dress accurately copi ed. The artist has not. forgotten to give her very red arms, since red arms, produced by very tight sleeves, were much admired by the Dutch of that day. The trader wears a deerskin suit. Three Indiais are selling hiim bear skinls. The hearskins eanm from a toy shop. Two Indians came from there also, the third being modelled, be cause no Tn,dian doll could be found which would sit down in a natural attitude. The gnus were tiny rifles ised as advertisements by a m-ul store. ,.rte pipe cane off a St. Patrich "S Day emblem. The seile'r has two very good hunting dogs m-hieh were founi in a toy store. A small boy suppliod an idea regarding them. "The dogs wouldn't like the In dians," said he. "Their ears would be down ilstead of up.' Inquiry confirming this view, the ears were properly manipulated. The hunting which it took to find all these things consined a good part Of the two months devoted to the t ask. A young woman at the muscuim sacrificed a raven lock of her hair for thle Indians' heads, butt it was found imlpossible to manipulate lhu man hair, and file sewing silk had to be used, each tendril fixed separatel~ ill the wax heads withI forceps. Th'Ie hiouse in t he Caval ier grotup is made of red brick, withI brocade eur tainis at the windows, and the figures are dressed in silk and v-elvet. The house has ornalte porches, with earv ed pillarvs and pilasters, the carv'ing being done by hand by Mr. Bender, ot the Amnericanu Musenm. A earr-iage road mtade of hot glue, cut with Iiwheel marks and( then sprinkled withl sand, passesC the porch. The girass is the spagnutm mioss thait comes for Christ lmas t rees, each separ-at e spray dip lped in hot glue and thlen fixed in Masses ot roses, tile smallest that come1 ini Friech artificial flowers, de co(rate thle gardlen, anid weore the most5 expensive propierty purchlased. AF for the figures, there is a cavalier or ho(rseback, e'xeutinlg a sweepinlg sal ute with his hat to his lady love ir the porch abIove, theO progenitors of an F. F. V. The cost umes were copied miniutel: from a stanidarid history of costums in America. The cavalier is in greci velvet corduroy, with a plumed hla in which is a true lover's knoL of rea gold1 and diamonds, (donated by femnie enlthusiast. Theo gill on thi porch is a b)eauty in pale blue silk~ Thle bhie rosette on the horse's8 head miatehing thlat on the lady's, is strict ly historical, as well as hundreds o other small details. ' In the Spanish group the back grounid is a California mission build ing. Int the entrance stands a Fran oiscan friar in the brown robe of th Qrdor and a rosary of bird seed. Be fore him. a Spanish soldier is tellini i'rthe possibility of another missioi further up in the mountains, and ha lisketched a picture in the san< 4tth his sword to illustrate his tale Cactus and other desert growth ari scattered about; made by Mis1 Ilprsfell, who does such things i wax foi he American Museum. ;1 2 The. groups are 18 inches. long by 11 in the other dimensions, and are mounted under glass. Three others will follow shortly, illustrating French, Quaker and New England Colonial scenes. Miss Bomenj, who is the first to make groups of this kind, conceived the idea as a child, when her mother used to contrive soniewhat similar groups for the illumination of Bible scenes. As she grew older her father used to take her to identify the'sites of all the old forts and early settle ments about Brooklyn. She grew up with a love of history made tangible. and when Director Lucas, of the Brooklyn Museum, asked her to ear ry out her ideas in the history depart ment of the children's museum the groups were one of the results. The study she has put into them make them valuable. The interest of the children who frequent the ius eum was amusing. She worked in the basement and they swarmed about the windows to watch her until they had to be driven away to give her light to work by. A pretty girl of Brooklyn served as model for the cavalier's sweet heart and posed in the sweeping Col onial courtesy while the artist bent the wires to reproduce the posture. Women Needed in Public Life. The editor of the North American Review, in the current issue, announ ces his conviction ''that the time has arrived when the welfare of the na tion would be most effectually conser ved by conferring upon women the right of voting and holding political ol.Tiep.'' He holds that the right to the franchise is not an inherent one, and therefore has no sympathy with those who claim it on these terms. ie closed the long editorial by say ing: ''For the purposes, therefore, of purifying the ballot, of establishing and maintaining lofty standards as to the qualifications required of candi dates for public office, of effecting an evener distribution of earnings, of providing a heavier balance of disin terestedness and conservation against greCd and radicalism, we reiterate the expression of our firm belief that universal suffrage has now become not only desirable, but almost a para mo~unt necessity.' Cha,rleston Gala Week. The Fireworks Display during the enlobration of the Charleston Greater Ciala Week. November 5 to 10, which is ko be done by Pain, of New York, will be the finest of its kind ever shown in the South. In fact, it will equal the great display given in New York harbor on the occasion of the first election of William McKinley as President of the United States. The harbor of Charleston offering practi- I cally the same coiditi'ons as does the upper harbor of New York, gives a pyrtchnist like Pain oport1unities wvhich~ he never fails to take advan tage of. There are the wanderful effectes which can lhe obtained with water no4 t ..uch as is sold in the stores for o;rdiniary displayers, hut the kind which Pain manufactures for his big shows, such as are given at Manhat tan Beach, the floating beacons, div ing dev'il s, prismatic fountains, fiery ..eysers. flying fisl' and submarine torpedoes. Each has its peculiar charm and1 all are fascinating. The set pieces, which will be quite nunerous fo such an occasion for set pieces are not as a rule in aquatic displays.. have been selected with great arehb the executive commit number of a' special represen tat ives will be on hand to handle the great showv and everything on the elahorate programme will lie given.
