! From the illustrations On this page one
may readily see the quality of work which
is being done by Miss Sands and Miss
Burdette. The picture OF Becky Sharp is
Miss Sands conception OF that many
{ sided heroine. She has made a refined,
/ gentle. dainty woman. and. at the same
/ time, introduced a touch CT cOqUettish
ness. which was strGHg trait Of Thack-
eray's greatest female character. 1t has
been handled in the strokes which give
! to pastel its greatest value as a medium
N lending atmosphere 70 the picture. The
portrait contains the feeling and charm Of
strong first sketch, and has lost none
Of it's strength in the finishing. This
power Of finishing is, indeed, one Of the
features Of Miss Sands work.
Miss Burdcttc works rCst readily in
pastel Her craftsman hip is good; but
enc is not as greatly i-ipre5sed ~ II as
by her delicate sense q -color and har-
mcny in colors. Her c.a.F positions are in
yarably good. though usually simple. The
charm Of he: work lies in her poetic
treatment rather man In her choice Of
the subject. Hcr bclt achievement is
found in bcr decorative designing. Some
Of her calenders and booScoyers are
striking examples q the refined and ar
tistic. without losing the strong effect of

in common with other Washington ar
lists. Miss Sands and Miss Bufdette hold
The opinion that local art lacks patron
age. without considering the quality
OF the work" said Miss Sands. lit is very
difficult to dispose Of ones pictures IN
Washington Most of Us are forced to
send our work to the dealers in New York
in order to get a market. Then, too,
there is no incentive TO good work. We
have only one or two good galleries OF
art, and they are private collections. Ex-
cepting the private collections of Mr.
Ralph Cross Johnson and Mr.. Thomas L.
Waggaman. we have little that is worth
mention Almost every artist we meet
has advised us to pack up our grips and
go 20 New York. Where you have no
great galleries, there is no particular in
centive to good work. AS literary man
really learns to write from reading the
works OF the great authors. SO 1t Is neces-
sary for a young author TO see the pro-
ducts of the masters brushes in order

that he may learn how they get their ef-
| fects, and wherein his own work offers
| an opportunity for development and i'm
! provement.
DO you consider that there is any
! probability of bettering the art situation
in Washington in the near future" Miss
/ Sands was asked.
Really, l must say that cannot
agree with the statement that Mrs. Bar
ney made in her interview in The Times
last week. Washington has great posi-
bilities, but few probabilities. Why. the
people of this city go to New York TO
/ purchase pictures. and frequently buy the
very paintings that were done here in
Washington and put on sale in New Yorl,
through necessity. While this state OF
things continues there is very little hope
for the future of the Washington artist.
For q number of years the proprietor of
, a local art store. who is 4 discriminating
connoissour, held exhibitions to which
the art patrons Of Washington were in
vted, and he gave the greatest encour-
agcment to any young artist in whose
work he recognized evidences of talent:
but he abandoned the idea after a time "
Why"
For the very good reasons" replied
Miss Sands. in reEretful tones, that It
did not pay. The people would come.
look at the pictures on exhibition. and
then 20 to New York to DO their buying.
And the remarkable feature of it was
that they frequently bought pictures in
the metropolis that were not nearly so
good as the ones that they might have
purchased here in Washington for less
money
In addition to the difficulties which
Miss Sands has mentioned" said Miss
Burdotte. there is 4 lack of good profess
siopal models in this city. 1t gets so
monotonous, working continually upon q
single face and figure. One has very lit
tie opportunity when one has but one
model"
What objection is there in sketching
continually from one model" Miss Bur
dette was asked.
In sketching continually from 4 single
model" replied Miss Burdette, there is
a great danger of falling unconsciously
into the defects OF the model. And though
one may be perfectly aware Of the defects
at first, they will gradually creep into
ones work like bad habits that become a
part of ones character through continual
indulgence"
There was a knock at the door, and a
woman whose portrait Miss Sands is
painting, entered and the interview was
closed, not, however, without a feeling OF
great regret or the part of the interview

Come i'm he entered and found Miss
Sands and Miss Burdette taking tea
cozily together at the daiHtic5t Of tea
tables in the shadow of a graHiiather's
clock. whose wise face has looked down
on many a banquet scene in DiAieland,
whose hands have crept through the
hours Of three generations, and whose
chimes have tinllled in harmony with the
musical voices OF many bellies of the
South.
Adjoining the walls are pictures in all
states of preparation, finished. half fin
ished. and only just begun. Mounted on
IN easel is an immense poster in pastel
the joint work Of Miss Sands aad Miss
Burdette. Ii shows two BOer fgrInhouses
burning in the background, and woman
stretched dead on the ground, little girl
kneeIing beside the corpse with her head
buried In her hands and weeping bitterly.
The picture represents the close Of the
day, and the black clouds Of smoke rising
in front of flaming sunset gives the i'm
preston that heaven itself is aare. In
spite OF its tragic strength the picture
contains nothing of ghastliness. 1t is all
pathos, and only a feeling Of pity and
sympathy are left in ones heart after
viewing 1T.
Miss Sands and Miss Burdette were
commissioned to execute the poster by
committee of charitably minded women.

the country newspapers. the whole coun-
try would know. by this time, what is
meant by etiquette, but it seems not to
understand the subject much better than
it did in the forties. Still do the readers
OF the etiquette column come across que
ries whether it is proper for a young lady
to ask a young man to come to her
house when she has never met him, and
whether one should use an orange spoon
or an oyster fork in eating pate de foie
gras. These mighty questions will not
stay settled. 1t is doubtful If they could
be settled by act of Congress.
However. the question before the House
was not quite so complicated. 1t was
simply this:
'Is it proper for a gentleman TO put his
feet uDon his desk?"
Mr Smith contended that it was not,
The Washington times., 1902-02-09

The business of the House was in a
congested condition, and SO were the
Representatives. There seemed to be
something on their minds Il is difhcult
to get rid of anything on ones mind
especially when one is not used to the
experience, and some of tGem were not.
The storm centre seemed to be in the
vicinity of Mr.. Smith OF Michigan.
Upon investigation the cause OF the
trouble was found to be question OF
etiquette. Now. as every one knows,
questions of etiquette are more diihcuis
to settle than any other problems. one
would suppose that with the authority
of the Ladies' Companion ana the
Guide to Happiness" and Ella wheeler
Wilcox, and the etiquette depar tm>nt Oh

and that a gentleman should always keep
his feet on the floor. Other members were
inclined to the opinion that it depended
upon the size. cost and condition OF his
boots. They could quite understand that
some peoples boots might not be orna-
mental in that position.
But the objection was made that ii
would be impossible to discriminate. The
only way in which the question could be
settled on that basis would be to have
committee appointed to examine the
boots OF the members and decide who was
entitled to the privilege of occupying the
desk with his feet and who was not. Then
some Of the members might get into trou
BILE with their constituents.
But meanwhile Mr.. Smith was insisting
that action should be taken. Finally it
was suggested that the matter should be

a personal favor. to take his feet of his
desk. II any other member followed Nj
sideways example, he could be reasoned
with on that or some other basis, which
would be much better than making q ma
tional question OF it.
So committee was appointed to ask
Mr.. Sulloway. as a favor to Mr.. Smith and
the House, not to put his feet on bis
desk. And they asked him. And Mr.. SUI.
loway arose, and unfolded himself. and
voice came down from somewhere up in
the clouds, saying:
Where am 1 going to put 'em?"
Dead silence fell upon the House-and
at this point the Congressional reporter
woke up. and decided that 1t must have
been the luncheon he ate just before mid
night that made all the trouble.
