the blending of a kind OF naive naturalisrn

beauties of antiquity Jacopo Bellini like so
many OF his contemporaries, was at once SEN
sitiye to the appeal of religion and imbued with
a feeling for sensuous charm. What distin-
guished him from the ordinary artist was a
rich fund Of creative energy 1t was not that he
embodied his observations OF form and his
imaginative conceptions in compositions of
extraordinary felicity II was rather that he
had in him a certain rich though undsciplined
force. II is his mood that counts-the mood

1t is a readable popular volume on such types as

has written an entertaining paper on Claude.
Two more volumes have appeared in the useful

Of value more particularly to the student OF
architecture. In the great mass OF Illustrations
attention is chiefly paid to the buildings in the
three Spanish towns. The volume on Goya con-
fers a positive boon upon those Who are inter-
ested in the foundations Of modern painting.
Here in a collection os some six hundred half
tones we have reproductions not only of the por-
traits and pictures. but of those etchings-so

which the eccentric Spanjard put some Of the
most characteristic elements Of his genius. Mr.
Calvert also includes number Of the masters

length. Ills essay on the artist is well written
and 10 it he afIixes carefully compiled cata-
losue. The book is peculiarly worth having
Goya is one of the most salient figures in Eu-
ropean art. At some moments he holds him
self so well in hand and paints with SO much
simplicity and quiet strength that he seems a
close kinsman of Velasquez. Again he paints or
etches as though under the influence of de1noni-
acal passion. At times straightforward real

humor. he is always thrilling with vitality He

SUNDAY. APRIL IL, 1908.

The scheme for the erection OF gigantic
memorial to Shakespeare in London has of
course provoked discussion, and there are diff
frrcnces of opinion as to the form which the
rucmaria! should take. In some quarters
monument is considered the only rational solu-
ton of the problem. In others the argument IS
all in favor of a kind of national theatre. one
circumstance that seems TO make the success or
the first plan little dubious is the present
state of British sculpture Where is the man
with the genius to produce the masterpiece OF
plastic art which is called for by the occasion!
The British have not been particularly fortunate
I'm their makers of monumental sculpture. one
man they had who brought something like in-
spiraton to his work, the late Alfred Stevens
His Wellington Memorial in st. PaulS is a noble
thing as it stands, and it promises to be even
more impressive when it is SurmOunted by the
equestrian statue. which has recently been car
ried out in close accordance with the data lett
by him in his studio. But Stevens has had no
successor. There is no living English sculptor
who has the grand style. No doubt there are
many who would gladly undertake the job and
produce without much difficulty fairly impoS-
ing monument. But if Shakespeare is to be
honorcd at all with an elaborate affair Of archi-
lecture and statuary the thing ought to possess
the highest artistic character. Some of the
London commentators appear to be troubled on
this point.

Psychological research, that fearSOme process,
breaks down one barrier after another, but there
is a mystery which apparently continues to
battle all its resources We refer to the mystery
OF public taste in the matter Of fiction. pretty
lawsuit has lately been running its course in
London all on account of certain works by Mr..
S. r. Crockett. 1t appears that the publishers
OF a new novel of his were full OF confidence in
its success. For it they agreed to pay him
$1,000 and a % per cent royalty on all copies
sold. But presently they learned that another
book of his to be put upon the market and
they feared for their profits. 1t is the method
he took to reaSSure them that brings up this
question of public taste. Writing to the pub
fishers, ne told them that no other novel of his
would appear that autumn, and added that the
book whose competition they dreaded was only
d light collection of stories on stamp collecting
and not a full dress novel" Into the details of
the case it is unnecessary to enter. What inter

A NICE COMPLIMENT.

Among the many nice compliments
paid to Mrs. Stone, the President Gen.
eral of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy while in Atlanta, none
were more appropriate and beautiful
than the one sent by the Varina Davis
Chapter, Children of the Contederacy
of this city. 1t was an immense box OF
the loveliest chrysanthemums, in white
and red, in the center of which was q
large bunch of violets, bordered with
tube roses and held together with red
ribbons, emblematic OF the red, white
and blue, and accompanied by an origi-
nal verse, as follows:
With love and affection this token
To you we send, who leads us ever on
ward,
AS the soldier and children's friend.
You as daughter, we as child,
Will not let the cause be defiled,
For IN these Jackets of Gray"
And from Home, Sweet Home"
Many brave hearts left.
Meier more to return,
We, with aching hearts, with signs and
tears,
Will show to ALL nations,
In few more years,
That the cause we hold sacred,
To our hearts ever near,
By erecting of monuments
To their memories dear.
