Possibly this has been the sculptor's in
tention. and probably it is we'll to have
this phase of noble life given lnterpre-
tation. and yet. after all. one is inclined
to wonder whether ii is not the idea
which makes appeal rather than the work
the smile in the stone rather than the
personality of the man. AT least, IL pre-
sents an interesting problem.
The gift of the head of Lincoln calls to
mind the oft-remarked fact that. in this
city, the capital of the nation. there is
as yet no fitting memorial to Lincoln. one
of Americas greatest men. In the park
commissions report it is suggested that a
memorial to Lincoln should be placed on
the river front near the Washington end
of the proposed memorial bridge. over a
mile from the Washington Monument.
and where it could assume dignified pro-
portions and he given appropriate setting.
Congress appropriated some years ago
$4,000 to cover the cost OF an lnvesusa-
ton into the matter of a memorial with
the hope Of securing the best advice and
eventually an available proposition. Mr..
McCleary, who was at that time chair
man of the library committee OF the
House, went to Europe and made an eX-
haustive study of the monuments and
memorials which have been erected in the
old world collected much valuable data.
and has prepared report, but no definite
steps have been taken. From time to
time various suggestions have been made,
one of which is for road 100 miles in
length from Washington to gettysburg.
beginning with an ornamental arch at the
head of 18th street. and being adorned
with sculptural groups. etc, along its
way Meanwhile the plan Of placing a
memorial on the Lincoln farm has been
suggested and received with enthusa sm-
and in all proba bility this will be we'll on
toward completion by next February
when the centenary of Lincoln's birth is
celebrated.
Congress within the past few weeks has
authorized the expenditure of $1,000 for
sculpture for the pediment Of the House
of Representativ wing of the Capitol
which for so many years has remained
undecorated. Fifteen thousand dollars
was appropriated to cover the cost Of Sc
curing a design and beginning the work.
and the rest will be appropriated from
time to time as ii is required. Both Mr.. Me
haus and Mr.. Gutzon Borglum have al
ready submitted designs for this pediment
but whether the commission will be given
directly to one sculptor or through COM
petition has not yet been decided. The
committee which has this matter in
charge is composed of the Speaker of the
House of Representatives. the library
committee of the Senate. the library
committee OF the House five senators and
five representatives. The sculpture of
the pediment on the Senate wing was pro-
duced by Thomas Crawford. who was one
of the earliest American sculptors and
who also modelled the statue of Freedom
which surmounts the dome. While sur
prisingly good, considering the time i.
was produced il cannot serve as an ex-
ample and should not be used to handi-
cap the new design through mistaken
desire for conformance This is a COM

Mr.. Carl Smith has painted this winter
quite number of portraits of ex-presi-
dents of Georgetown College. which have
been placed in the college hall. He has
recently just completed a portrait of Mr.
E. B. Grandin. which he has painted
from life. This is in every respect a
noteworthy work-broadly handled Wig
orous and exceedingly personal. 1t has

That Mr.. Evans interest in the National
