...hostess ventured some quiet words reminding him of the deep personal affection in which he was held the wide world over. His morning mail lay beside him. She pointed to the pile of grateful and adoring letters. 'Ahyes,' he said, 'but they say Tennyson has written a perfect poem." Millet's early life - his parents and birth, his childhood and the development of his artistic temperament - is told in an interesting article by Pierre Millet, his younger brother. With this paper is an engraving by Closson of Millet's painting "The Sheep-Shearers." At intervals for the last few years...

The faces in the large groups and small portraits alike are executed with great care and individuality. Among the smaller...

Osgood, who was conductor of the society; Frank D. Millet, whose fame now rests on his skill with the brush, while in college he won fame by his skilful handling of the drum-sticks; Hon. Robert C. Winthrop and Mr. E. H. Hastings, now manager of the Bijou Theatre, who played what in the society is familiarly called the "bull fiddle." The oldest living member...
