Perfection
Br F. A. MITCHEL
Howard Chidester was ao artist in
lore with his art He began to make
pictures when he was a child and before
he was a man bad become famous.
He painted all day and sometimes
would have painted at night bad
It been practicable. At first it was
love for bis work alone that gave him
an Interest in It but in time be grew
accustomed to the praises It brought
^ him. Between the ages of twenty-Ave
and thirty-five be would go into a gallery
where one of his masterpieces
hong on purpose to bear the encomiums
heaped upon It. Persons might
compliment him upon other gifts?and
be possessed several In do small degree?without
exciting Id him the
lightest pleasure, it was to bear bis
praises as a portrajer of nature that
found a place in bis heart
Chidester was thirty-flve years old
when he painted the great picture of
Ikis life. young lady one day drovt
up to his studio in her carriage, which
bore her family crest, a ad. alighting,
sent up her card. The artist's eye
lighted with pleasure. Miss Eleanor
Gray, whose name was on the card,
was the most beautiful woman of her
\ day. When she appeared at functions,
at the opera, driving out she passed
every head was turned to look, at het
At the time she made this visit to
. Chid ester her beauty was simply perfect
Not a line appeared anywhere
on her face, her complexion was a
most exquisite pink and white, and her
figure was a combination of ravishing
curves.
"I have called," she said, "to ask If
you could be Induced to paint my portrait
I know it is a great deal to ask
of the most famous living ^rtist but
you will, won't you?"
Chidester stood gazing at her, wrapped
In admiration of her beauty, for
some time before he replied.
"I can do greater Justice to your
beauty." be said, "by using you as a
model In a picture I am painting representing
springtime."
"Paint me to show me at my best"
he replied, "I have nothing but my
fcoaoty to Interest me?to be proud of."
"And I," he replied, "could not live
without my art"
The most artistic dressmakers were
snulled to for designs for a costume
which would give the best effect, and
one was selected ravishing in Its simplicity.
The head, neck, bust, the feet
and lower limbs below the knee were
tared: the hair was partly concealed.
Chidester saw before him a perfection
of beanty, and he idealised it The re
salt was his chef d'oenvre. the mar
relous painting which was to him
what the Slstlne Madonna was to Ra
phaeL The world 6aw and wondered.
Who* ChMoafer aru* all nthors ftppm
ed a crowning glory was Id fact the
misfortune of his life. He bad been
climbing, had reached the crest a?d
must begin his descent For a time he
did not realize this, then feared it.
and at last it fell upon him like u
death stroke. He hunted everywhere
for another model that would inspire
him like the last one. He found one
equally attractive of its kind, but a
different style, a child. He read sta
rles of children by Hans Christian Au
dersen to fill himself with their inno
cence. then began his work. It whs'

suecessrui, one it 'was not ma master
piece. Then the consciousness thai
he had begun his descent came to him
and he fell into melancholy.
Before a final giving up of all hop<
he determined to paint his formei
model. Miss Eleanor Gray, In a ne\i
conception. He hurried to her houst
and sent up his, card. When the lad;
came down to receive him he noticed
a tinge of melancholy on her face.
"Why do you look sad?" he asked.
She placed a finger beside one ol
her eyes and said: "I hare discovered
a line there. Do yon not see It?"
Chidester declared that he did not
Bat this did not reassure her. She de
clared that she had bloomed and mast
now pass Into decay. In rain he told
her that she had not reached the rich
est beauty to which she was destined
that be woald paint one more picture
of ber representing her as "Summer.'
He coald not excite a hope. That lit
tie line would multiply till It cor
ered her whole person. Where then
was one today there would be severa
tomorrow, and In time she would tx
covered with wrlnklee.
"No." she said, not knowing that h<
was pleading for himself as well at
for her. "I have passed the summit
What you painted was the perfectioz
of my beauty. What you would paint
now would be a shade lower In the
scale."
A look of distress crossed his face
and she asked what It meant
"Tou have been describing me at
well as yourself," he said. *1, too
have climbed the hill and stand look
lng Into the valley. I can never make
another picture like the one I made 01
you. From this time forward my pow
ers will wane."
"I cannot understand that" she said

"No, I will not climb higher, but hac

were even in midage, brought my per
