To the student who is noundering in
the difficulties of art who is harassed by
the multiplicity of schools and methods.
who is discouraged and perplexed. a visit
to the studio OF .fr. Brooke will be
source of inspiration and encouragement.
He is in the prime Of his faculties, and his
work bears evidence OF mature expert
ence-a conservative strength that Is ac-
qnired only by years of profound study Of
nature. as well as art. There is no lack
of spontaneity. for many of the sketches
he made during the autumn show that
they were painted with fervor and en-
thusiasm, but the lasting impression.
gained by studying his works. is that
they are the result Of deep and sober re-
fection. Warrington, Va, where Mr..
Rrookes homestead IS located. has fur
nshed him with innumerable motives for
his pictures. and 1t is hoped that the
spring exhibition will contain many OF
them.
The seventy-first annual exhibition of
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts will be opened Monday, January 20.
and will continue until March 1. A num-
ber of Washington artists will be repre-

generally will be reviewed in this column
next Sunday.
Miss Cecilia Beaux, one of the foremost
portrait painters of this country, is in
Washington painting the portrait of Miss
Alice Roosevelt. II is to be hoped that
this work, which is sure to be excellent.
will be seen in the coming annual exhi-
bition of the Society of Washington Art
lists. No other woman and few men pos
sess the skill and knowledge that are SO
apparent in the best work of Cecilia
Beaux. Her portraits are striking char
acterizations and executed with fear
less and remarkable technique.
We understand that ChartrGn, the
French painter. is coming here to paint
the Presidents portrait. We learn this
with deep regret, because we have so
mary American painters who are so vast

an important commission to him seems
unreasonable and unnecessary.

1t does not seem to be as generally
known as 1t should be, especially to those
interested in art and to art students,
that whatever Washington may lack in
art resources. there is at the Congress
sional Library, in the fine arts division.
of which Mr.. A. ]. Parsons is chief an in
eXhaustible and eyer-increasing wealth of
art matter-a most wonderfully compre-
hensive and valuable collection of en-
cravings, etchings, photographers, and
photographs, representing every modern
process of reproduction and numbering
over 100000 prints. This is augmented
from time to time by loan collections
In the great art centres, Paris, London
New York. similar collections add not
little to their respective museums CT art.
1t seems pity that in Washington, where
opportunities to see great works CT art
are decidedly limited, that 81 Few should
take advantage of this source of educa-
tion. SO readily at their command. Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard's gift of some 1900 or
5000 prints, is a most important addi-
tion to the artistic value of the collection.
1t represents almost every school of en-
craving and etching, including excellent
examples of Rembrandt, Durer, Haig, Hol-
Ter, Whistler and Haden, and a number
of notable portraits OF Napoleon and
Frederick the Great. OF course, only
comparatively few works can be placed
on exhibit at one time, but there are oc-
casional changes made. There have been
thus far thirty different exhibits ar
ranged. AT present the cases in the ex-
hibition rooms are filed with-etchings and
engravings from the paintings of Turner,

T Asst week we endeavored to point
out the great need in this city Of
II a building which would meet the
requirements of artists, archi-
tects. and musicians. so 1t is most grati-
flying to note that an important step to
make this desired building a reality has
been taken by the Society OF Washington
Artists in calling a conference of twenty
representative organizations which are
interested in this project The strength
and Importance of the organizations that
are to participate is sufficient to give the
greatest confidence in the result. One of
the most hopeful features of the outlook
is the wave of intellectual endesvor that
is now commanding attention. Within
the past few days four important and
separate movements have been launched
the organization of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition, the recommendations and magnifi-
cent exhibit of the Parking Commission,
the calling of conference by the Society
Of Artists, and the PRONUNCIATION of
plan to establish in Washington an acad-
emy Of arts and letters. Never before in
the city's history has there been so much
activity in the interest of the arts and
science, such a demand for culture, and
it is safe to predict that splendid results
mr.. follow.

Comrades In Mi.fortun,,

At the Whitefriars' club in London
recently, the members met to greet
John Murray, the veteran publisher,
as their guest, and to discuss the COM
plicated subject of the relations of
Author, Agent and Publisher" There
was good deal Of chaff during the
discussion and G. B. Burgin. the
writer. told story which turned out
differently from what his audience ex-
pected. Two shivering, hungry,
wretched outcasts met one cold win
ter's night outside the residence OF a
wealthy literary agent. There was a
strip of crimson carpet on the pave
ment and carriages thundered I'D to
the curb in 'profigate profusion."
Then royalty descended and went in
to dine with the literary agent. Who
are you?" asked the first outcast of
the other; Il seem to know your
face" Il was an author-once," bit
terly replied the other Who are
you? I've seen you before" Il was a
publisher-once." said the first out
cast. Then they recognized one an
other, and, moved by the common
impulse of brotherhood. turned round
and shook their fists at the house of
the agent There" they declared in
unison. there is the man who helped
us to ruin each other" Then linking
arms. they sorrowfully went away
to the nearest dosshouse.

He had split bamboo rod, IS reel

At the same time man from

He had nothing but a crooked stick

He sat on log and let his feet hang
down over the water.
All day long the two men fshed.
