Interesting School of
Japanese Art.

A San Francisco writer, Mrs. Dora
Ansden, has written little book about
Japanese art, which is published by Paul
Elder & Co in such likeness to the bind
cry art OF the Mikado's' realm that but
for the print being Roman letters II
might be taken for a literary thing fresh
from Toxic It is called Impressions of
Ukiyo-Ye," and Ukiyo-Ye is the modern
school of japanese color-print artists that
characterized as .the manifestation of ar
dent faith through the purity of an ette-
real style The UkiyoYe literally means
the floating world" and il is made UP
of pictures about "the things of heaven
and of Buddha--the life of men and wom-
en-" 1t is the popular school of Japanese
art, and the motive of its masters is ''the
spiritual rendering Of the realism and
naturalness Of the daily life. intercourse
with nature and imaginings Of lively.
.mpressionable race in the full tide of a
passionate craving for art
There are SO many schools of Japanese
art we are told that a lengthy catalogue
would be required TO enumerate the mas
ters who inaugurated them. for as soon
as an artist in Japan developed talent he
founded a school, and his descendants
had to adhere to the principles which he
inculcated The school Of Ukiyo-Ye did
an international work in preparing the
Japanese people for intercourse with 9TH
er nations. Its pictures created interest
in foreign countries and promoted the
desire TO travel. TIE great master OF that
school is Hokusai, and his work Is better
known TO Americans than any other Japa-
nese artist HE is the last and most bril-
liant figure of progress of more than ten
cenfuries-the exuberant and exquisite
product of time Of profound peace and
i,,ear,na "a BILE refinement" He died in

to increase his powers UP to that adj

horse, but not seen by the admirers OF

Tandem driving is taught in the
book, and there is a picture OF a most

Epigrams in Books
of Oscar Wilde.

In writing an introduction 10 coilec-
ton of "Epigrams and Aphortsms from
the works of Oscar WIoe. recently pub
hsheo by John w. Luce & Co, Bos-
ton. George Henry Sarge-t gives this
definition: An epigram is the sublimate
of genius. 1t is a capitalization from the
commonplace In its earliest form. in
deed. il was but a mere writing upon
wall. but the modern epigram Is distin-
guished by its particular 6rilliancy- II
embocies the very quintessence OF the
thoughts of the writer. The early Greek
epigram did not aim at wit. OF necessarily
produce the feeling OF surprise, which are
essential characteristics OF the modern
one
Sargent estimates Oscar Wilde as chief
among -nglish epigrammatists Of modern
times. "A few of his pithY sayings may be
worth rescue from oblivion Many OF
them display brilliant but insincere
mind; too clever 70 be anything more
than clever. Much Of clever sounding
cynicism Is allowed TO pass as brilliant
because we believe the sayer OF II only
pretends his levity. and wills US to see IN
ii his superficial wit. but not his pro-
foundest wisdom. Now we know that
Wilde sincerely believed the cynicism that
came from his lips and pen. and the
wickedest of his wit was all his wealth
of wisdom However, one OF his cpl
has nothing whatever 10 do with the
sincerity of the man who expresses it.
That may be a rapier twist calculated to
disarm criticism. Here are a few more
which may be worth saving in ones

Scenes Of Romance

-Four years ago Sidney Mccall put forth
his book called Truth Dexter and the
four years since. then he has devoted to
the careful writing of his new book The
Breath of the Gods which story has for
its heroine the japanese girl. Yuki.- The
book is not essentially study of Jap
snese life. but much of that is incidental
10 II because of the strong scenes. of the
being laid there. The author
states that most of the remarks, ques-
tons and speculations put into the
mouths of the peasants and servants Of
the book were overheard by himself An
idea of the famous dancing of the little
Japanese girls Is given in this bit of
description: Yuki says, She protected
