Charles L. Fox's Paintings.

| The charities that soothe and heal and bless,
| Are scattered at the feet of man like flowers"
This seems to be the spirit of the paintings
by Charles L. Fox, now on exhibition at the
rooms of the Portland Society of Art. The
large frescoes and other decorative work we
shall speak of at an early date. But interest
centres in the large !picture which created so
great sensation in the old city of Dor
drecht, where it was exposed for several
weeks and where people went in crowds to
see it, even coming in from the country
around for love of its sentiment as we'll as
fer its truth to nature. The scene is laid in
Holland. A young musician, hungry and
sick, having taken no money all day, and
just at that point of mental and physical tor
ture where many woman goes wrong from
sheer despair, has gone into a barn and
there. under the dark rafters, has thrown
herself down upon the rushes with her harp
Tor pillow, and only God and other girls
hke DIR know what for dreams. AS she lies
p.ere, poor woman like herself comes in
with little in the way of material help mi
enough to save life and enough in tba way OF
sympathy and friendliness to save courage
and honor.
The picture is realistic or, better, perhaps,
naturalistic. Pain.I.ers of the other schools
would make tie girl more attractive; would
probably put lowering angel with wide
spread wings in place of the woman, and
would probably idealize the gloomy rafters
of the barn. But the realist paints things
as they are and says BLESSED are they that
mourn for they shall be comforted; blessed
are the poor in heart for they shall see God. y
We are used to the ideal work. 1t is good
thing for us who are a little given to measur-
ing everything by our own standard to see
this realism and to see for ourselves what is
doing in the wide world of art so far removed
| from our down east horizon.
The Prayer is an exquisite view Of a
child with lovely red hair-again zone of
the people," The Cleaner is a young Dutch
girl standing in the foreground of beautiful
characteristic Dutch landscape. The level
fields, the long dyke with its ditch beside it
and its line of Lombardy poplars reaching
away into the summit the girl with her few
boarded ears of wheat make up picture
one might be proud to hang upon his dinin G.
room walls. 1t is pity these two small pic
lures should not stay in Portland.
A box is placed near the pictures asking
charity for poor children across the water
in whom the artist is interested and who sad
ly need help.
The pictures are so arranged in the rooms
that the realistic work faces the ideal as
seen in the large fresco.

First-class furniture and upholstery goods are
seldom offered at less than cost, but this is the
ease at the establishment Of Doe & Hunnewell,
b77 Washington street, Boston. This state of
things is due entirely to the sudden sale Of the
lease Of the building for hotel purposes. which
compels the firm to move in a short time. Nearly
all the goods were prepared for the fall trade'
and are In the newest ana most desirable styles,
ami they will be closed out without delay. This
affords rare opportunity to obtain choice articles
at very low price.
