make sure. Leaving picket at Lhe

sergeant and he drove the trembling
butler in front of them, his shaking
candle sending strange pickering shad-

oak-rafted ceilings. They searched
the whole house from the huge stone
tagged kitchen below to the dining
hall on the second floor with its gallery
for musicians and it's panelling black
with age. but nowhere was there liv-

found Marie, the elderly wife Of the

COLOR PRINTS AT PRATT INSTITUTE

A selection OF the color prints made by Arthur
w. Dow is exhibition at Pratt Institute.
These prints attracted great deal OF attention
when they were shown In the japanese corridor
Of the Boston Museum OF Fine Arts last spring.
They are made IN coors from wooden blocks by a
method long confined to the East. and developed
by Mr. Dow after close study OF the work Of the
best japanese artists 1t will aid in the intelligent
appreciation OF the prints to know that the design
is carved IT. the block by the artist. colored and
printed by him. and that the entire work is accom-
pshed without any mechanical interference A
great advantage of the method is that the block
once carved need not be drawn again and the artist
is free to use his originality in new color scheme
for every PRINT that he makes To see THE Ipswich
River and the Distant Marshes" done In breezy
blue" then again In blue and orange. and still
