PUBLIC INTEREST
IN Studio SECRETS
New American Pictures at the
CorcOran Gallery.
The Exhibition of Lucien Powell's S
Clever Work.
A Review of the Recent Johnston
Display of Photo
graphs.

The readers Of this column obtain from
week TO week an insight into what is
known as studio secrets and these
revelations are not made in technical
phrases beyond the comprehension of the
average layman. There are Phillistines
who echo fad opinions and are as tickle as
weather yanes, but there is also a great
public desirous Of knowing the truth and
anxious 10 be Initiated into the secrets
Of profession they regard as little less
than divine. They perceive that the true
artist has learned great secrets, which
have resulted in making him patient, Sc
rene, and happy. and therein lies the sal
walton of the world. The public welcomes
these truths when presented in a sympa-
thetic spirit.
The esthete may remain lofty and with
q patronizing wave of the hand imply that
there exists an impossible gulf between
the public and the devotees of art. These
Buntkornes Will some day learn what is
now perfectly clear TO art workers entirely
free from cant, that what the public wants
is mot more light on the mellifuous not
ness. but more strawberries in the short

The American Painters.
1t is understood that from this time for
ward 1t will be the aim of the Corcoran
Gallery trustees to buy, so far as possible,
the best examples TO be obtained OF Ameri-
can masters. Some other American gale
ries are rich in sixteenth century Dutch,
early English and the Bsrbizon school, II
is very difficult at this time. however much
money one may have at his command, 10
get any number of great examples OF these
famous schools. The Americans are more
easily obtained. and, having filled up with
the Americans. some day the Corcoran will
find itself in possession of priceless and
unique collection to which all eyes viii be
turned, for the time is certain 10 come
when the fashion will change. and Ameri-
can pictures will be the fad. Close obsery-
ers know that nothing better was ever
painted than many OF the pictures exhibited
at the recent Clarke sale in New York. The
Corcoran gallery is to be congratulated up
on course that must be gratifying not
only to Washingtonians. but TO every pa
triotic American as well.
Evidence of this good resolution IS ap-
parent in the pictures purchased recently
by the Corcoran Gallery at the Clarke
sale. Some OF the local artists and other
intimate friends of the gallery were per-
mitted a glimpse Of these pictures. These

TO REMOVE TO RICHMOND.
The WayIand Seminary nnd College
to Cease Existence Here

The Wayland Seminary and College To-
Gated on Chaplin Street northwest, at the
head Of Fifteenth Street, Will be removed
TO Richmond at the close of the present
school year. For some time past the school
has grown so rapidly that should the in
stitution remain here ii would be neces-
sary to secure additional ground in the
vicinity of the present buildings in order
to accommodate the increased number of
pupils. The board of directors of the
school, after a mature consideration ex-
tending over a period Of three years, have
decided that property in Washington is
too expensive to warrant the purchase of
the required amount here and have conse-
quently decided 10 move the school to
Richmond.
very suitable site has been secured,
which is said TO be high and healthful
The tract is several hundred acres in ex-
tent and it is thought will be sufficiently
large for the expected growth OF the school.
The property In Richmond is being i'm
proved by the erection OF four new gran
ite buildings which will cost altogether
when completed about 1925, 900. The cree
tion of other buildings will soon be
commenced. The property owned by the
school in this city will be sold and the
proceeds will be spent in making further
improvements on the Richmond property.

CHRISTs REVELATIONS.
Rev. w. e. Vaughn's Sermon on the
Spiritual Law of Service.

There was good attendance at the
First M. E. Church South, last night,
the occasion being the revival services.
The meeting was opened, as usual. with
spirited singing, followed by prayer;
and after this the pastor Rev. w. E..
Vaughn, preached am interesting SER
mon, the purport'of which was to por-
tray the struggles of the soul that
wants to serve God.
I'm a general way it may be said
that all men want to serve God" be-
gan the speaker, "but beneath this de-
sire are other desires that overthrow the
real prayer of the soul When you
approach these strugglers and ask them
to take on the Christian life. they fall
back; they do not know the real char
acter of Christ and of the Christian
religion, which is beautiful, if they
only understood its purport.D
The speaker showed what great pro-
gress has been made in the physical
world. by remembering that the uni
verse is governed by law, and showed
how man has advanced by mastering
the laws of nature-Franklin catching

CHILDREN MADE HAPPY.
Orphan Asylum Little Ones Given
an Oufiug

On Tuesday last there was happy
gathering of little ones from the Pro-
testant Orphan Asylum, with th9!r
teacher, at the home of Miss Bessie
Humphrey at Mayhem. They were
given the outing by Miss Humphrey in
honor of her birthday, and it proved a
red letter. day for the children.
There Were see saws. trucks for rid
ing, and swings galore. A. b. Hum
phrey provided a royal feast, and it is
needless to say the children did ample
justice to the good things set before
them. They sampled the fruit, and it
is safe to say not many oranges CT
early cherries will go to waste in Mr..
Humphreys orchard.
The blouses of the boys formed con-
venient places to stow away oranges,
and the vehicle that carried the chill
dren out seemed quite too small on COM
ing home. If more people would in
vite the orphans to their homes, they
would realize how little of self sacrifice
would make them perfectly happy.
