prietor of the Hall" The working out Of
this feud affords the main thread of the
story. 1t is but the simplest device of the
novelist to arrange love affair between
such hero as Christopher and the grand
daughter of such villain as Bill
Fletcher. Miss Glasgow. however, handles
this theme with artistic care.
The authors conception of the character
of Mrs Blake, Christopher's mother, IS
easily one of the novelties of fiction for
several seasons. and it is to be regretted
that Miss Glasgow did not permit this per-
sonage to play a more important part in
the working out of the story. Some time
after her husbands death she was stricken
with partial paralysis and blindness, and
was never made aware in the slightest de-
gree of the fall of the family fortunes.
When her children, ousted by the foreclos
ing Fletcher, moved into little house for
merly occupied by the overseer, and began
prolonged struggle against poverty, the
change was so managed that she did no.

she lived in blissful ignorance. imagining
herself still the head of an aff1uent establish

To her mind the war of secession has sue
ceeded. The confederacy is permanently es-
tablished, and its presidents have followed
each other in Office with routine regularity
their names being supplied by her daugh-
ter. All sacrifices are made to foster this
deception and despite a sudden flash of in
telligence caused by Fletcher's malevolent
interference she dies in total ignorance of
the humane deceit practiced upon her.
There are many sharp contrasts in the
book. The comedy element is literally sup

ance the gloom of the general theme. THE

fortune, sadness, anger, revenge, Chris

by running his grandson. When finally the
dissolute youngster kills Fletcher In fit
of passion and then escapes through Blake's
assistance. Christopher takes upon himself

financier in blue picturesque coat seated
in a STRAIGHTFORWARD chair.
Miss Aline Soiomons has nearly COM
pleted an interesting portrait study of
lady wearing black velvet feathered hat
and an embroidered brown velvet gown. 1t
is low in tone and extremely harmonious
in color, and it shows excellent modelling
and more than clever handling of material.
In quality and finish 1t seems. indeed TO
have belonged to an earlier century. but in
force and character it is distinctly modern.
Miss Alice Foster has also some attract
i've work on hand. She is painting two
tiny miniature, of a little lad and lass,
and on her easel is charming portrait
study of young girl. This last is In oils,
and though the head only is laid in. it Is
more interesting and more pervaded with
artistic feeling than many finished WORKS.
The color has been laid on with great
directness, but without crudity, and the
quality of the medium is lost IN the rich
quality OF the tone.
There is now on exhibition at Veerhoff's
a bust of the late President Mckinley by
William Buehler local sculptor. 1t is
colossal in size and monumental in effect,

the front of the bust 1t is comparatively
well drawn and strongly modelled, and Eiay
be considered a fair likeness. but it is crHde,
inimobile and devoid of feeling.

The collection of paintings. prints and OBJ

Corcoran Gallery by the late Mrs. Harriet
Lane Johnston was formally declined by the
board of trustees this week By the terms
of the testators will the gallery, in order
to gain possession of this collection. would
have been obliged to add for 1t a wing to the
present building which should not only af-
ford ample protection from the heat or
summer, but should never be heated by any
artificial means; and it was stipulated.
moreover, that if at any time national
gallery should be established the entire
collection was to be handed over to that
institution. With these very stringent and
somewhat remarkable conditions the trus-
tees were naturally unwilling to comply,
hence the refusal of a gift which, under
ordinary circumstances, would have been
thankfully received.
