from the conventional methods of portrait
ure that she has aroused good deal of ad-
verse comment. Miss Sewalfs art is in a
state of evolution and she will doubtless
paint still better things in the future but
nevertheless this portrait has sterling quail
tiles that will outlive the more superficial
effectiveness of many another painting. 1t
Is true that she has laid herself open to the
charge of inconsistency in the treatment of
the work. The face is painted with free,
sweeping strokes of the brush, which give
1T a soft mysterious effect in the dim half
light, and yet the lace fichu, which. accord
ing to all canons of art, should have been
kept subordinate, is painted with a photo
graphic dstinctness that is almost startling
in comparison with the rest of the picture.
Portraits.
Edward Lind Morse is one of the princi-
pal exhibitors in the domain of portrature
and he contributes several important can
vases, among which the three-quarter-
length view of DR.. Timothy Dwight may be
singled out as a fairly typical specimen.
The face, modelled with understanding is
full of character and expression, and in
handling the entire figure the artist shows
comprehensive grasp of his subject and a
broad solid way of painting.
Mathilde Muedens work stands out with
decided prominence, and there is no portrait

shown, and his contributions are therefore
disappointing.
monplace subject by a broad, synthetic
method of handling. and sit is, to be re-
gretted that he is not more fully repre-
sented. :,
Wells Sawyer and Frank Moss exhibit eff
fective works in landscapes and oene should
not overlook the striking study of an In
dian by Cornelia Cassidy Hayis, of Spencer
Nichols portrait of himself, which exhib-
it's a decided vein of humor.
A Blizzard scene.so
s. Jerome Uhl places on view IN large can
vas which presents in very truthful man
ner view of Pennsylvania avenue as 1t
appeared from the artists studio, during the
blizzard. The effect is admirably painted,
but the canvas seems much toe large for
the features Of interest in the composition,
and it would undoubtedly be more agree
able IL executed on small scale.
The same is true of Edgar Nye's gigantic
landscape, and one cannot refrain from
wishing that he would work on more mod
crate expanses of canvas. Mr.. 1Nye's work
must be taken very seriously this year. as 1t
reveals earnest effort and intelligent study
r. LIE Grand Johnston is represented by
two landscapes, which show his usual COM
mand over technique, and in spite of ten
dency toward artificiality they are agree
able in color and attractive in arrange
ment.
Among those who show good work
in miniature are Helen Gwendolyn Kelley
and Alice Foster, and in the department OF
black and white there are number or
able contributors, including Hattie Bur
dette, Ernest Nelson and Harry Bradford
The exponents of the plastic art are ade-
quately represented this year and u ). J:
Dunbar's Winter is striking piece or
modelling that will be remembered by all
visitors to the gallery. H. j. Ellicott has
sent a bust of Francis Kraftner, the sculp-
tor, and Edith Ogden and lnone sessions
also exhibit accomplished work in sculp-
ture.
William Fuller Curtis is the only con-
tributor of work in burnt wood decoration,
and his large mural design In four paneis
is one of the notable things in the eXhibi-
ton, and it is very satisfactorily placed
next to the door, where it gives visitors
their first and last impression Of the col
lection.
Evening star., 1899-04-01

shows that perception of color graduation
which Ruskin calls 1.-The last attainment OF
the landscape painter.
James Henry Moser is pre-eminently
water colorist but his contributions in oil
prove his versatility and the portrait head
from his brush deserves attention no less
than the landscapes. Perhaps the best
of his productions is a misty morning ef-
feet in autumn with the sunlight struggling
to make Itself felt through the haze-a
work full of dsiicacy and tender color.
Robert Coleman Child exhibits a number
of very faithful studies of East Gloucester
subjects, and one cannot fail to note in
his work solidity of drawing and an earn
est endeavor to reproduce nature as she is,
both in form and color. There is little
attempt at arrangement or pictorial effect,
and in this respect they are similar in aim
TO the group of frank outdoor sketches by
Edward Slebert. Mr.. Siebert has not tried
to make pictures, but he has succeeded in
making unusually strong and suggestive
studies.
Working in his favorite and most sue
cessful vein, Lucien Powell has excelled
all his previous efforts, and his fine We
netian scene is bound to attract very gen.
eral attention. The glow on water and
SKY and the play of rich color in the sails
OF the clustered barges may be a little too
reminiscent of Turner, but the effect is
painted with undeniable SKILL and the pic
ture has a complete harmony that the
artist has never before attained. 1t is the
best work that Mr.. Powell has yet shown
in the displays of the society, and he was
wise in allowing his reputation TO rest on
the impression made by this single con-
tribution.
Another artist who mikes a noteworthy
advance is Berta Hanson and her wood
interior is deserving of high praise The
patches of sunlight on the shaded ground
are rendered with a skilifuf hand and every
part of the scene has the aspect of dewy
freshness that suggests the cool early hours
of a summer morning.
Alice Archer Sewalfs likeness of her
mother, executed in distinctly individual
manner, will be one of the most widely dis
cussed paintings in the entire collection
though it is doubtful if it will be generally
understood and appreciated. 1t has the dig
nifty and repose essential to a fine portrait
and the face is full of expression but the
artist has made such d radical departure

Particularly Pleasing.
The rest of the ground floor OF the
Elysee has. happily enough, really an i'm
pressive effect. This is due chiefly TO the
care OF NJ. de Gourlet, a man of taste
whose advice with regard to furnishing
and decoration is worthy OF attention. The
carpets and wall hangings are particularly
pleasing. Some of the most beautiful pieces

stands smiling. 1t is a Judgment of Paris

in his latter days. thought the three god
desses too lightly clad, and had some fra-
peries added. The new draperies-now old
are easily distinguished. In a word the
state apartments of the Elysee are notice
able at first glance for three things-the
ceilings and chandeliers. the carved wood
work and the profusion of tapestries that
line the walls.
On the Second Floor.
Naturally, the presidential family take
little comfort in the ground floor OF the
palace. Their life is lived on the second
floor. There are only two floors in the
'Elysee. The apartments OF "demi-cere-
monte consist of the official salon of the
presidents wife. the salon of the president,
large billiard room, a dining room, a
smaller salon and a presidential cabinet
The guests to the official balls are allowed
to visit these apartments, which are in the
left wing of the palace. The strictly pri-
vate rooms are in the left wing. The one
parlor which Mime. Faure could call her
own was the salon of "deml-ceremonie,'
because the energetic Mile. Lucie needed so
much space for her boudoirs. Boudoir
comes from boulder, which means to pout.
In old times it was in her boudoir that the
angry damsel locked herself when out Of

It was only when he came to his own bed

president revolted He did not object to
the dclicately beautiful Louis XIV wood
and panels, but it did not take him long to
order out the little gimcrack lacquered ta-
bles, carved and gilded chairs, great bed,
which was the regents own, and the light
hearted Fragonards, whose scant-draped
shepherdesses smiled with such provoking
malice. President Loubet is from the south
and he can stand A south exposure even in
the summer time. This bed chamber, which
is like two large rooms thrown into one,
has become his favorite. He has had his
private library brought into 1t. Two large
working desks and several serviceable ta-
bies, plain, solid and modern, replace the
elegant trifles of Felix Faure. A sprawling
sofa of the second empire and four stuffed
easy chairs of the same epoch have been
placed there and the room is transformed.
The bed he has chosen to replace the his

The ground floor of the Elysee is given
up to the state apartments, twelve In
number scarcely sufficient for their pur-
pose. The Elysee has never been large
enough. Napoleon III moved out of 1t as
soon he became emperor. President
MacMahon, whose official residence was ut

IN the gallery that is more virie and more

view, but the coioration is nevertheless
strong and veracious. and in accurate draw
ing, faithful rendition of values and, above
all, in the suggestion of life and vitality

In the latter work q difficult problem of
composition has been solved in a most sat
isfactory manner, and it has a fine har-
mony of rich low-toned coloring. One of
the most conscientiously painted studies in
the exhibit Is Lesley Jackson's BLACK
smith, and 1t is a little canvas that one
can linger over with great deal of pleas
ure. Close study is also manifested in
Glenn Madison Browns principal contribu-
ton, a well-arranged composition showing

artistic charm, and their tender beauty of
color. The artist seems especially fond of
using green in her color schemes, and in all
three it is the dominant color. Her Girl
with a Mandolin is the largest and most
important picture, but all of them deserve
special attention, because the artist has
sounded a new note and produced some
thing very different from the ordinary.
