New Every Morning.
Every day Is fresh beginning.
Every morn Is the world made new.
You who are weary of sorrow and sinuing,
Here Is beautiful hope for you;
A hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over.
The tasks are done and the tears are shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is part CT forever;
Bound up In a sheaf, which God holds
tight,
With glad days, and sad days. and bad days
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful
night
Let them go, since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, forgive them!
Only the new days are our own.
To-day is ours. and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here Is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springng lightly,
To face the sun and to share with the
morn
In the chrism OF dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Listen, my soul. to the glad refrain,
And. spite Of old sorrow and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again

Angelo del Nero, royal commissioner
. for Italy to the Columbian Exposition
in charge of the italian exhibit Of fine
arts, who has in large measure alb
sOrbed the spirit of unrest and the ac-
tive and nervous temperament OF the
; American is particularly full OF IDEAS
upon the subject Of comparisons be-
tween the different displays of paint
i ings upon exhibition at the Columbian
Exposition. He said that he had to adj
nit that the Americans had largely
/ copied the methods of the French be-
cause they were pupils at the feet OF
French masters. He thought also, that
many Americans neglected to finish
their art studies by visits to the best
! schools and museums of other nations.
He believed that the foundations Of
modern painting were laid broad and
deep upon that Of the old Italian mas
art, but he believed that no painter
could receive the broad cosmopolitan
taste, necessary to a great artist, until
he had visited and studied in the best
museums and art galleries of Europe.
The American exhibit here. however,
is revelation to me-" said he. Il had
never thought for a moment that the
Americans who are considered abroad
more or less in the light Of copyists
could bring together, even in their own
country, an exhibit which very serious
ly completes with the best that the
nation can do which the nineteenth
century, regards as the home of fine
arts. The Americans have made q
very extensive exhibit and the merit
that many of the finest paintings dis
play, such for instance, as 1.-The Flagel-
lants" is beyond question the result Of
genius of the very highest order A
broad sweep Of the brush, the original
tty and boldness Of treatment, although
the technique of the French school,
stamps 1t without question as the work
of cosmopolitan. the Sine qua non
Of the master spirits of the artistic
world. Naturally, all artists suppose
that France would make the most ex-
cellent, as well as the most extensive,
exhibit In the fine arts building because
her commissioner had plenty of funds
at his disposal and he had world Of
art to draw upon. The result, how
ever, has been more or less disappOint-

American exhibit i'll reply to this makes
the broad statement that this is IN
indication that the Amc ricans excel in
4 art. The lady is fixed in her belief that
1 the French schools now represent the
| utmost perfection in modern art and
that if the Americans are able to so
closely copy the French style, impress
sionism and all the rest, it indicates
that they have learned their lesson
we'll Miss Hallowell. formerly direc-
| tor Of the Chicago School of Fine Arts,
also openly maintains the Americans
have the best display Of oil paintings
in the fine arts building. mainly because
they have exercised the greatest care
in selecting and the n:uSt thorough
means of collection Of any nation repre-
Sented here. Miss Hallowcll in forming
this opinion bases it upon the prem
Uses that greatness of subject. from
the standpoint OF idrality, counts for
naught. In other words it makes no
difference whether you paint carrion
or an angel so long as You are 4 mas
ter of color and follow the diria of
the French school with Il due spirit OF
reverence and fidelity. IN other words,
the Greek who would not take a mean
subject for his art was Il fool. and the
Frcnchman who painted Il dead horse
50 that you could smell it, thoroughly
understood carcaSScS as well as paint
ings. lmpressiMisms. in the lady's opill-
ion, WAS Il virtue in art because it
was painting with Il few strokes and
showed the great skill Oh the part of
an artist who could represent scenery
by glimpses such as one catches from
the windows OF Il rapidly moving rail

riplcS of Monet in America were keep
ing we'll up with the procession in
the matter Of imprcssionisn, and that
American art had nothing tc fear in
the way of comparison with the OK
hibits Of any other nation. Miss Hal
lowell does not believe in separate

would be of Il sccond-class art. The
technique is a thing which constitutes
the salient feature OF modern art as it

out of the comparison with French and
