ACCURACY IN ART.

IN the art columns OF q daily
paper there is q somewhat detailed
discussion Of the question whether
# is the duty of an artist TO paint
''the thing as ne sees It." The con
tention OF the writer is that it IS
not. that mere slavish imitation is
not art. and that the artists colors
are merely the forms Of language in
which he gives his thought 10 the
world He is 10 select what pleases
him. what he wishes to emphasize,
and omit the rest The faithful
transcription is the business OF the
scientist. not the artist.
This is one OF those arguments
which are like the wrong side OF a
piece Of tapestry, correct. in a GER
tain sense, but OF 10 partf ullar value
in comparison with the other side.
There has never been an artist OF
any fame who did not paint true to
life. save and except the few whose
work has been Of a fantastic and
purely imaginative sort, and ever
in their case an alIegorical meaning
has been expressed. The differ
ence between a painting and a pho
tograph is rot that the painter de-
picts what is not there. but the. ne
chooses an aspect of reality which
the ordinary person does not see. In
short, he paints the thing as ne sees
it, but not necessarily as Tom, Dick,
and Harry see it. Others look at a
woman's hair and say that it is
black: the artist sees in it purple or
red-brown lights, because his eye IS
trained. The ordinary person looks
at a SNUG. smiling. and artificial
pcseur anI sees a saint: the artist,
trained tc the study of faces. .recog-
nizes the subtle lines that tell 4
different story, and puts them into
his work.
More than all this. the average
person remembers only the average
mood and expression Of a counte-
nance: the artist perceives intuit-
lively the one expression which best
brings out the character He does
not paint every landscape OF any
landscape ct any time CT day; he Sc
lects the time and place in which he
can find a certain effect. This is
realism, and anything else is photog-

THE WHITE HOUSE.

Private DalzelI, in a long letter to
The Times anent the renovation of
the White House, has this to say in
q concluding paragraph:
"And so, in removing everything
except the shell, all that IS British
is put out to stay put out, and the
new structure with all its appur-
tenances will be American, from
turTet to foundation stone.' When
Washington planned and saw the old
house built, America wasn't making
nails, and so the unsightly old
handmade, headless, and half
headed nails one now sees pitched
out and carried off as souvenirs, were
imported, as, indeed, It is said were
some CT the bricks, from England.
"We have learned to make nails
since then, and bricks, tool The
timbers, nails, bricks, and all the
materials Of the new structure will
be American, for even the charred
timbeIs CT the old house burned by
the British in 1914 go out with the

dalism, and the American flag viii
