ACHIEVED SUCCESS EARLY.

Miss Ethel Clement Has a Picture Accepted by the Paris Salon. The latest triumph of a California girl In a foreign land Is that of Miss Ethel Clement, who has just won the distinction of having a picture accepted by the Paris Salon. Miss Clement is the daughter of Lyman H. Clement, and was born in this city but twenty-three years ago. She left here a few years ago to study art in New York city under Kenyon Cox. Then she went to Paris and placed herself under MM. Lefevre and Tony Robert Fleury, and such excellent use has she made of her opportunities that in three years she has achieved that for which many work a whole lifetime and then do not accomplish. The young lady belongs to a talented family being an own cousin to Mrs. H. H. A. Beach (Amy Marcy Cheney), who is one of the greatest living female composers. As a child Miss Clement displayed a remarkable talent for dr wing. She possesses a particularly sweet and lovable disposition, and her many friends in this city will rejoice with her when they learn that her many years of hard work and absence from home culminated in this succinct cablegram received yesterday by her father: "Accepted— Salon."
