Of God-nere real than alr the skeletons

Angels in Art" by Mrs. Clement, will
be treated as a religious book by half
its readers, although it is really a
manual of art, intended to expound the
symbolic meaning Of the various repre-
sentations of celestial beings Mrs.
Clement explains the significance of the
colors in the dress of the articles borne
in the hand, and the attitudes of the
figures, their position in pictures of
the Madonna, and of the other details
which the ignorant beholder overlooks,
and thirty-five full-page- pictures eIuci-

to the same series as 4 Miss Hurll's

art reality presented with force. the
most ideal art being nothing else than
certain reality presented with all the
force Of a puissant genius. For this
reason, men seeking as they do in the
theater the presentation of life, an op-
timist drama would appear to them a
lie or a puerility. They very gladly
accept the sympathetic or generous
drama, but not the optimist drama. not
the drama WHICH represents humanity
as happy, because such drama is not
true. All the publics in the world are
very responsive to the 'pathos of admir-
ation' To admire a hero, a fine ex-
ample of humanity, always gives a live
ly satisfaction to readers of novels or
theater-goers. There is nothing false
in this. Man knows that there are
good instincts. He knows that he is
capable of courage and magnanimity."
