' I 1 1 THE SISTINE MADONNA In our own public library of Kansas City in the Nelson Art Collection, is a beautiful copy of the world s famous masterpiece-Raphael's Sistine Madonna. Although the mother of the artist died when he was a little child of eight, K 52, H 1 1 yet her loving and beautiful face was well impressed on his young mind. It was she that was his inspiration for the face of the Madonna. The large, green curtains which we see in the picture are those of his own studio. One day as he sat thinking over his picture, and how he would paint it, the curtains seemed to part and between the two of them he saw the Blessed Madonna holding in her arms the infant Jesus. The two figures we see kneeling so devoutly are those of St. Barbara and Pope Sixtus, the pope of that time. There seemed to be such a large, empty space at the bottom of the picture. As Raphael was wondering what he would do, he looked toward the window and saw two street boys looking in at him and his work. Though dirty and tousled, they had the reverent and adoring gaze of angels. It was just what the artist wanted. He put wings to those little boys and placed their cherub heads at the feet of the Madonna. MARY E. Doo1.EY, Fifth Grade. MOTHER Never a sigh for the cares that she bore for me, Never a thought for the joys drifting hy: Her one regret that she couldn't do more for me, Thoughtless and seljish, for Mother was 1. Oh, the long nights that she came at my call to me! Oh, the soft touch of her hands on my brow! Oh, the long years that she gave up her all for rne! Oh, how I yearn for her gentleness now. Ever devoted, yes, that was the way of her, Counting her greatest of services smallg Words cannot tell what this old heart would say of her, Mother-the sweetest and fairest of all. P' Q .
