At an early hour the room was well filed.
Mr.. Taverniet's picture hung on the mauka
wall between the doors. Its graphic realism
won instant recognition. The few liberties
that had been taken with the proportional re.
laiions between the width Of the era,er's
door and the hight OF the cra,er's walls
heightened the pictures effectiveness ithou,
materially detraeting frcm its truth. A similar
criticism applies with equal force 20 the posi-.
ton OF the little crater. Those in the audience
whose art appreciation had been perfected by
too rigid insistanee upon absolute fidelity to the
truths Of nature, may have found fault with
those merely mathematical inaccuracies. But
every genuine admirer Of true art read tina,
picture as every true lover Of poetry reads a
poem--SoH amo,s.
