Is America Worth Paintina2
From the Craftsman.

We are all familiar with the weary
plaint of our artists that in America
we have no atmosphere. We are ac-
cused by the American student in the
Latin quarter of having a country
without nuances. without hGlftones, or
subtilites. light and shadow. We are
sneered at as not paintable. Perhaps
we are not, as Brittany Is of Naples
or the harbor at Boulogne, or Rothen-
burg in a sunrise mist; but just what
Is really paintable is somewhat a mat
ter of opinion--not wholly of French
tradition. Remington has found the
Western Indians and their environ
ment worthy OF a mastcrly brush;
Borglum has discovered subjects
enough roaming over the western
plains for technique that might seem
good enough for French rivers and
not give up painting because New
England was his abiding place, and la
ment the absence of French atmos-
phere in Connecticut. He Just stepped
outdoors, walked through his garden,
looked down a winding lane, or out
over the Sound at Cos Cob, and painted
and achieved marvels OF atmospheric
effects that few of the greatest of
foreign landscapists have ever excelied.
He did not worry because America
was not paintable. If he ever thought
about II at all. 1t must have been with
a quiet little smile of amusement And,
so, what we need in order to create
a further national spirit I'm our art is
not different country, but q different,
lew, intelligent understanding point of
new toward our country as it exists.

PAINTS WITH HIS FOOT,


AT Devices in Wiltshire there may
be seen any day of the week on the
road leading to the railway station,
ar old man engaged in painting pic
lures with his brush held in his right
foot and gratefully accepting such
small donations as chance passersby
bestow upon him Despite the physical
disabilities under which he labors his
work is far superior to that of the So
called pavement artists who abound
in England. Recently he attracted
something like national attention by
sending tG Buckingham palace a pic
turc 2f the king in his coronation robes
which he had painted. In acknowledge
ing the gift his majesty sent him SIS.
David Wiltshire Is the unfortunate
artists name. He is 81 years old. He
was born without the use of his arms
or hands Some forty years ago he
painted a panorama, depicting such
subjects as The Death of Nelson"
The Battle Of Inkerman." THE We'd
ding of the Marquis OF Lorne" and ex-
hibited IL through the country. He has
painted portraits of several notables
and until old age came upon him he
managed to support himself without
appealing TO charity.
Until a rev years ago he used to
paint with his brush held i'm his mouth
But with advancing years he gradually
lost all his teeth and then could no
longer grip the brush with that firm
ness necessary to the exercise of COM
plete control, for he found that artif-
cial grinders were not sufficiently SEN
sitive
IL speaks volumes for the pluck and
perseverance OF the old fellow that in
stead of succumbing to this additional
affiction he set resolutely to work to
learn TO manipulate the brush with his
foot. But naturally he cannot do such
good work with that member as in
earlier days he did with the paint brush
held in his mouth Hence he has fallen
upon hard times But when the king
sets an example there are plenty to
follow II and David Wiltshires friends
are hopeful that for the rest of his
days things may be made a bit easier
for him.

SELECTING MATERIALS.
Tests for Telling Quality of Silk, Linen
or Woolen Goods.


The woman who would be classed
among the successful bargain hunters
must be able to tell almost at a glance
whether the material she is about to
purchase is really as good as it looks.
More often than not bargain counters
are made up Of some choice pieces Of
well s some very poor ones, and she
who can discriminate may pick up
some really remarkable things for al
most nothing.
Most women know the test Of wetting
the finger and putting II under would
be linens TO tell If the threads are all
pure and generally it is a fairly good
way of judging. II the wet spot imme-
dlately shows on the right side II is
linen. but II it is absorbed It is either
cotton or a mixture OF the two. But
the better test is to unraVel a few
threads, II these pull out without snap
ping or and do not pull the material
out OF shape il is linen, for cotton
threads break easily and are not woven
IN the same manner as the linen. Pure
linen is also slippery To the touch and
when crushed IN the hand crunches
stiftiy springing back into place almost,
as soon as II is freed. The finer the
threads and the more of them woven
into certain space the better the piece
OF linen
In selecting silks one can soon learn

ton. \ good quality has a shimmerI
about IL and also slipperiness that is
something on the order OF the sipperi-
ness Of linen. When pulled out I'm the
hands pure silk will snap like the re-
port OF pistol. A lighted match is an
other good test for silks. If any OF the
threads burn UP in flash. instantly

Woolen materials can be tested with
a match in the same manner Where,
cotton is ablaze at once wool will only
shoulder. at the same time giving forth
an odor that can never be mistaken for
anything but wool.
