oi' objects of art that are almost 1 old as civilization itself. They are now on exhibition iii the Kelekian gallery, No. 709 Fifth Avenue.

One of the most interesting objects

is a portrait of a queen of the Ptol- omaic period, dating about 100 B, C., found in a tomb at Memphis by exon- vators working under Mr. Flanders Petree, the English Egyptologist. Ir, is quite different from the older Egyptian paintings and is done in the Greek manner. with .iiiciiiiitie or wax, applied with warm \vi._|er, n method invented by Polygno1.u5_ 'phn Work, which is on a panel, looks al- most as fresh 'now ns when it was painted. In style it is not altogeth- er unlike some of the modern work.

Another object of interest is the

sculptured head of aking excavated on the Island of Cyprus, belonging to the archaic Greek period-about 400 B. C. The monarch is bearded and his brow is crowned with laurel. Mr. Kelekian also brought a beauti- fully modelled black basalt figure of Isis, dating about 600 B. C. and a large blue pottery scarab, having the lustre of torquoise. This dates about 1,500 B. C.

Mr. Klllckian said the Germans w-era

ANGLO--AMERICAN

FAIR NEXT YEAR.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-It is fully ox.

pected that next year's Anglo-Ameri- can Exhibition at Sl1epherd's Bush will be a powerful factor in increasing the flow of visitors across the At- lantic. Lord Kintore, who is chair- man of the executive committee, h~as been splendidly supported in this movement. No fewer than 70 peers, including seven dukes, and 250 mem- bers of parliament have given their support, and the best :iiiaids associ- atcd with the arts and science have promised their assistance.

The Duke of Connaught is pa-

tron aud the Duke of 'Peck is pre- sident of the committee. One rather regrets that the White City scheme is being dropped in favor of one of color, for it was singularly re- freshing to the eye after the first freshness of it had yielded a little to London atmosphere. The inten- tion is to have a varied color ar- rangement, and in point of fact this will be much more elaborate and ar- tistic than anything that has gone before.

There-‘are to be more than one

hundred palace and pavilions, and nearly all of these will be devoted to intentions designed on one or other side of the Atlantic. The lit-

STATES AND NETHER-

LANDS FIX TERMS

WASHINGTON, Dec. ‘16-Secretary Bryan and Chevalier Van Ri-ippard, the Netherland’s minister, youger-any agreed upon the terms of a peace treaty embodying the principles of the arbitration plan announced early in the present administration. This will be the seventh of the peace trea- ties, mnd the first negotiated with a European nation.

The negotiation of the peace treaty

constitutes the most important work to be undertaken by Chevalier Van Rsppard, who assumed the Nether- 1and’s mission here only last month. The text of the pact agreed upon yesterday will be witheld until Mr. Bryan and Chevalier Van Rappard have signed it.

The principal feature of the peace Plan as announced by Secretary Bry- an is a provision for an investiga- tion tliroughout a teriod of at least one year of anv misunderstanding. be- tween tlie signatory nations, by a commission U five members, one to be chosen from each of the contract- ing countries, by their respective governments, one to be chosen by . each of the contracting governmental from some other country; and tbni fifth to be agreed upon by the con-, tracting governments. Mr. Bryan al- so announced his readiness to con- sider the question of maintaining the statue quo as to naval and military preparations during the per- iod of proportion, with a stipulation that this provision could be waived

if one of the stlgnstory found itself menaced by a frd power.

From the outset Mr. Bryan has

maintained that the principle of in. veltigation being accepted the other details are matters for conference and compromise.

We ran into a storm in the lower part of Maine,and when we got home it was pouring rain. The next day I went out to see the Usher family, and wegot pretty well soaked before we reached the house, although it was only a block and a half away from the cars. They were all waiting to see us. But the only one whom I would have known was Willie’s mother. She is a woman 84 years of age and as smart as any of her girls. To her I did 'riot seem so changed, but the girls would not have known me and I certainly would not have known them. But we had .a pleasant visit a-;id were with them nearly e. week, then I had to visit with Mrs. Web- ster. She took mc round to all the summer resorts and I had a most lovely time. But all good things must end, and it was with n sad heart that I said farewell to Sister Tillie and her dear family and start- ed on our long and strenuous jour- ney. We were eight long days and nights on the cars from Portland and be sure I was tired and dusty and glad to get home. The last I saw of them, all my dear ones, was Clarence and Tillie and Georgie with the dear little baby in her arms. I don’t wonder people think it a hard trip to California, you ride days and days over such uninteresting fiat country and no pretty green fields or trees to break the monotony of the scene and the last of our trip is over and through great mountainous grey rocks and the dust so thick in most of the places that one can hardly breathe. We are in our own city now which seems good, although we need rain very much. I 'think of your nice green hills and beautiful green trees it is oh such a lovely spot, , I do hope to see it soon again, Prince Edward Isle, my home.
