NEW PICTURE IN LIBRARY.
Notable Addition to the Topeka Art
Collection.

A new picture by Adam Emory Al
bright, 1.-The Welcome Signal has
been added to the art gallery of the To-
peka public library. The picture was
exhibited in the Kansas building at the
st. Louis exposition last summer
where it caught the fancy of Mr.. Ed
ward Wilder, president of the library
association, who purchased it for the
library from the income of the Alden
Spear fund. The painter is a. formerly
of Kansas man, now living at Edison
Park, Illinois. who studied in Paris and
Munich, and the picture has a Kansas
subject 1t is one of a. group of his
paintings in oil, American Country
Children" which was exhibited in the
Kansas building.
1.-The welcome SignaI' shows a
glimpse of typical Kansas midsummer
landscape with the figure of a little lass
in the pig-tail barefooted period,
standing on a stiIe in the foreground
waving a handkerchief A bit of rail
fence shows at one end of the stile and
the picture suggests the Kansas har-
vest time and dinner call for the inn
agined laborerS in the field The at
nospheric and sunlight effects are par
ticularIy good and the poise and light
ness of the figure outlined against the
sky are peculiarly natural and lifelfke.
The painter has caught with rare fideI-
ity the glow and glamour OF the Kansas
summer sunshine and the sweep OF the
Kansas breeze, against which the girls

skirts and the floating handkerchief ap-

The picture hangs on the north wall
of the library gallery little 10 the
right of the center where it is fittingly

The Welcome Signal as an excellent
rieee of work. Tine relation, he says,
between the shadow side of the figure
and the sunlight of the grass and sky
is especially fine. The picture has good
action. uncommon movenent-note the
handkerchief floating in the Kansas
breeze. The figure is very well done
the hand and arm are painted with
good value and good color and the
manner in which the face, turned
toward the sunlight fades into the sky
is noteworthy. Perhaps the curve OF
the figure is a bit exaggerated, but the
girl is at the angular period ana that
undoubtedly assists in the effect OF
strong sweeping breeze. I think if the
