4 FAvonITE OF FASHION.

4 young German-Amefican painter,
Wilhelm Heinrich Funk who enjoys 80
great reputation as n portrait painter
In America, Is winning golden opinions
abroad This Is the first time that Mr..
Funk has exhibited IN London, but his
| exhibition is interesting from the fact
that, Instead Of bringing over a number
OF portraits from America Of people IN
known there, he is showing nothing but
portraits Of well known English social
personalities that he has painted alncs
he went 10 England, some months ago.
The chief item in the collection was 20
have been a full length portrait Of Prln-
cess Christian (who has refused all re-
quests 10 cit for her picture for the last
20 years) but owing to her royal high
ness indispositlon and the treacherous
weather, the slitlngs had TO be postponed
until later, and a most brilliant pre-
llminary sketch Of the princess head Is
all that there is 10 show for the mo-
ment. 1T Is no wonder that In a collec-
ton Of p portraits, which have been
painted in two months, The work should
/ be somewhat unequal" says Vanity
Fair in commenting, "and that some OF
them, such as the large canvas Of Lady
Acland and the chld's portrait, Master
Harry stansheld, would be better for a
greater degree Of finish But this Is
trining and easily roctifed drawback
when compared with the brilliant flesh
parting and rich color which charac-
terize such portraits as Lady Elcho,
Lady Colin Campbell, Mrs j, Ogilvy
Haig, Vicomtesse X. and the admirable
sketch Of Mrs. Brown Potter, which
was painted, II is said. In two slttlngs.
There Is certainly no m0notOny In Mr..
Funks portraits. He aims evidently at
making them not only good llkenesses,
1 but essentially decorative. Nothing
could be more charming than the oval
portrait Of Mrs, ogilyy Haig, quiet and
| harmonious IN the tones Of the dress
and background, which brings out the
| delicacy Of the flesh TO perfection, and
certainly not many painters would have
had the pluck to put the brilliant em-
erald green background which makes
such an admirable contrast with Lady
Colin Campbelrs black dress and black
| Spanish hat and harmonlzes so well
with the warm ivory tints OF the face"

much better conditioned both in body
and mind
once upon a time II was the custom
for the ultra smart woman TO pack her
trunks and fly away 10 Europe or some
spot In which laxity in Lenten obsery-
ance was not frowned upon, Women,
too. who had large country houses filed
them with congenlal spirits and mild
round Of Lenten festivities were kept
up far from the disappearing frowns
Of the shepherds Of souls.
This later plan worked badly, how
ever. Rectors heard Of the gayety, and
the women who had not been invited TO
the house parties assumed such right
eous airs Of indignation that those who
would revel out Of town found Il best
TO revel alone. Yet many sensible wo-
men do spend the Lenten days In the
country, riding. driving and walking
and regainng health and strength for
the busy days that follow Easter.
Instead Of idling through the season
with an occasional aesthetic visit TO
church services, the present tendency Is
to have some active employment in ac-
cordance with the principle that ito la
Dor is to pray"
The most fashionable women In So
/, ciety originated the custom OF organiz-
ing a series Of drawing room lectures
during Lent. There ls a double pur-
pose in this; the woman who all winter
has been too busy TO bestow much
thought on the cultivation OF her mind
thus emphasizes the fact that she is a
woman Of letters as well as a woman
Of fashion and also satisfies her benev-
client inclinations by the thought that
she is encouraging aspiring women dis
ciples OF the arts and sciences.
One OF the most fashionable OF New
Yorks Lenten occupations Is Mrs. AS
tors sewing class. II Is one Of the
fixed institutions OF society, and the
most frivolous woman Of the Four
Hundred regards admission to this
charmed circle as something TO be
striven for, even as one should strive
for entrance into the pearly gate OF
paradise, for II is an indication that one
belongs to the elect OF New York's in
nermost social circle, OF which Mrs. AS
tor stands a sort OF feminine st. Peter.
