Charles Dickens.” For Kate Dickens has always { wanted to write and her friends | assert that she has a fine literary style of her own, but she has Te- frained because she feels that “a daughter ought not attempt to fol- 110w in the footsteps of such a | tather.” | A sweet faced, silver haired old lady. she still bears traces of the | beauty which Millais, Val "Prinsep and other artist friends have por- trayed on canvas, She is herself an artist and not-! ed for her portrafture of children, but she now refuseés to’be photo- aphed or painted. As a girl she ied to g0 'om' the stage afid offered an‘engagemeént. IRT | father was'aghinst it ‘and’ advised | her “fo ‘g0 on” ‘with 'her painting. | While in' her teens she 'married | an’ artist named Colling and under his ‘guidance ‘pursued her studies. After her death; she married the late ‘C. E. Perugini, also an artist. Their 'house' is full of relics of Dickens. = At the éntrance of Mrs. | Perugini's ‘studio ‘stands the ‘his- |tori¢ table which her father used | when ' giving ‘readings ‘and 'which hé took with Kim’on his Americati |tour. 'Hé ‘could 'not: read, he said, | unless he hld that ‘table Dbéfore | him. A highly valued picture shows | three angel heads. 'Dickens was |attracted by it @t a sale and Mrs. | Perugini recalls how on one day {he came home with a picture 'of the top of & ¢ab, had it carried up to the room of herself and 'hér sister and ‘there hung it, ‘saying, | “that ig something beautiful to 'be always before your eyes." When * Dicketis ' suffered from fits of gloom ‘@nd depression, Katd would attempt ‘to solace him. She relatées a curfous premonition which occurred before hiz death.] She and her Sister had left “Gads- hill,” the Dickens home, to go on a visit to London.
