angels, glimmering, unearthly, more suggestive of a vision than of a painting. The following list includes a number of the more important mural works executed in this country by American artists since 1898. The names marked with an asterisk are of those artists who have furnished complete lists of their larger works in this period. Several of those given in the list of January, 1899, as Messrs. Armstrong, Beck, McEwen, Shirlaw, Sprague, Pearce, and Thayer, have not carried out any strictly mural painting of late years, or have worked mostly in stained glass. In addition to these there have been numerous monumental series of mural decorations proposed which have never been carried out, as that for the great Philadelphia City Hall, a few years ago, in the competition for which the empty honor of the first prize was won by Mr. Decamp, and the second by Mr. Turner.

XL DECEMBER, 1906 NO. 6 THE STATE O' MAINE GIRL I FOURTH REBECCA STORY By Kate Douglas Wiggin ILLUSTRATIONS BY F. C. YOHN THE NEW MINISTER'S WIFE VEN when Rebecca had attained the great age of seventeen, and was therefore able to look back over a past incredibly long and full, she still reckoned time not by years, but by certain important occurrences. There was the year her father died; the year she left Sunnybrook Farm to come to her aunts in Riverboro; the year she exchanged the privileges of the village school for the more extended advantages of the Wareham Female Seminary; and, finally, the year of her graduation, which, to the mind of seventeen, seems rather the culmination than the beginning of existence. Between these epoch-making events certain other happenings stood out in bold relief against the gray of dull daily life. There was the day she first met her friend of friends, "Mr. Aladdin," and the later, even more radiant one when he gave her the coral necklace. There was the day the Simpson family moved away from Riverboro under a cloud, and she kissed Clara Belle fervently at the cross-roads, telling her that she would always be faithful. There was sister Mira's death at the farm. There was the visit of the Syrian missionaries to the brick house. That was a bright, romantic memory, as strange and brilliant as the wonderful little birds' wings and breasts that the strangers brought from the Far East. She remembered the moment they asked VOL. XL.-70 her to choose some for herself and the rapture with which she stroked the beautiful things as they lay on the black haircloth sofa. Then there was the coming of the new minister, for though many were tried only one was chosen; and finally there was the flagraising, a festivity that thrilled Riverboro and Edgewood society from centre to circumference. There must have been other flag-raisings in history-even the persons most interested in this particular one would grudgingly have allowed that much-but it would have seemed to them improbable that any such flag-raising as theirs, either in magnitude of conception or brilliancy of actual performance, could twice glorify the same century. Of some pageants it is tacitly admitted that there can be no duplicates, and the flagraising at Riverboro Centre was one of these; so that it is small wonder if Rebecca chose it as one of the important dates in her personal almanac. The new minister's wife was the being, under Providence, who had conceived the germinal idea of the flag. At this time the parish had almost settled down to the trembling belief that they were united on a pastor. In the earlier time a minister was chosen for life, and if he had faults, which was a probable enough contingency, and if his congregation had any, which is within the bounds of possibility, each bore with the other (not quite without friction), as old-fashioned husbands and wives once did, before the easy way out of the difficulty was discovered, or at least before it was popularized.
