Seven Schools of Color.
Without attempting to answer the ques-
ton, What is art?' it has become plain TO
me that the paintings of the present day
belong to seven schools of color, and are
summed up in the rainbow. 1t is color,
color everywhere, and everything is color.
The paintings of the violet school are soft
and sweet and modest, often In the nature
of allegofies, with PARKWAY yistas, appari-
tons and moonlight effects Those of the
indigo school have TO do with the somber
night with the stars and with the Mediter
ranean by day or night. The blue school is
essentially decorative, showing nymphs
with harps and youths with flutes with
fieecy clouds in pale blue skies. The green
school, on the other hand, is earthly and
material: it is the ''good-child' school.
close to the everyday realities plain to the
understanding, showing little trees and lit
tie hills and grazing meadows and truck
patches, where grow cucumbers and beans.
The yellow school is opulent with gold and
golden stuffs. the orient and oriental wo-
men. with effects of decorative brasses.
silks and satns. The orange school is of
the south, delighting in the Spanish dancer.
in the beauties OF Morocco and Algiers. and
is given to depicting Venice in the MONDAY
sunlight. While the red school is all red.
and red again, with fire and blood and mas
sacres and tragic dawns and agonizing sun

The caricaturist has been busy with the n
all. distorting them and giving them false
interpretations. Two of the foremost pic
lures of the violet school are Pierray's
thoughtful muse, who sits by moonlight
with her elbow on her knee and her chin on
her wrist in the attitude of meditation, and

For short time after his unwarranted

appealing looks toward America, the haven
for all who are oppressed crossed the

OF discovering some clan or people near

penance. he arrived among the Kaws or
Kansas, whose reservation was in the
lovely valley of the Neosho. few miles
below Council Grove. But that tribe, a
dirty. despicable race, very suspicious. and
withal not remarkable for their reverence
of any religion, did not take kindly to the
weary old man. who had entered their
midst with the puiest intentions: his pious
zeal. his abstinence and self-denial made
them fear to approach him. They did not
understand that:
