Mr. Howell* list a little 10-year-old daughter—a winsome little maiden— with • strong artistic trailing. To peo- pte mnrioaa in hersdify this may furnish a marked instance. The little girl’s mother is a sister of tho distingiiishod seqlptor, I-arkin \V. Mead, and ie her self. I am told, an artist of no slight ( ability. Mr. Howells has tho iirtistiu temperament ill n Him and rare degree, boiug himself, us an author should be, greater and higher than Ids creations even, and that tho littlo daughter should so early develop a notable taste and a mure notable |>ower of execution at so early an age Is not, perhaps singular. "A Littlo Girl Among the Old Mas ters''is tho title of tho little sketch-book kept by the little maiden when in Kurupe tail year, and is, as Mr. Howells exquisitely phrases it, “the retfeotion iu a child's soul of tho sweetness and I lean ty of early Italian art." Tho little maiden herntuo enamored of seraphs * madonnas; they told their own iea to her, which she has ex pressed . in her drawings, to each of which Mr. Howells prefixes a half- linmonnis, half-tender preface of a fow line*. She was nerastomed to visit the, galleries and then, returning home, curl herself up in on arm-chair and on her little block draw the skctchoi. .1 have seldom In my life been moro interested than in tracing this little tnahlm's thoiglit in her pietnred im pressions, and I am sure we shall all watch her art development as she grow* oldor with a peculiar interest. If the promise is Indicative of thu fulfillment we shall liuvo in Mr. Howells’ littlo daughter an artiat that America maybe honored iu claiming.
