Coolbrith, has just been com- pleted by the artist, Miss Lillie V. O'Ryan, and will be sent East today. It is the portrait of Concha Arquerilla, the beautiful young Spanish girl who is the heroine of the story which is Gertrude Atherton’s contribution to the book. Miss Elsie Sperry has posed for the picture, and while it is not in- tended to be a likehess, the artist has succeeded in catching the charm and esprit of the beautiful society girl. Miss O'Ryan won fame in this special line of work when she painted the cover design of “Janice Meredith,” | which became known over all the coun- try. Her work for the “Spinners’ | Book,” like that of the other contrib- utors, has been a labor of love, being done for sweet charity. The book is to be published by Paul | Elder in New York, and is to be ready for the early spring sales. et AR L Coftes is strength and tea is rest— | Schilling’s Best. s SR e SENTENCED FOR BURGLARY Juan Quincnez, found guilty a few days ago on two charges of burglary. was sentenced by Judge Cook yester- ars in San Quentin, ten years being given on one count and three on the other. 1907.
