Precautions to Be
Observed While
Steaming the Face

Face steaming Is an aid to beauty
that may be sadly abused. Done too
often It causes the pores to distend
and the skin to become fabby. Twice

the complexion is in a really bad
condition once IN seven days viii
be the best interval.
The benefit Of this process of cleans.
ing is in opening the pores and in.
ducing perspiration that causes them
to eject impurities that would not
otherwise be thrown OFF. The posi-.
bility Of injury in this treatment CON
sists in failure to close the pores af.

Mr.. Pierce of Boston, the secretary of
the Free Art League; Mr. V. G. Fischer
Of this city and others prominently iden-
titled with the art interests of this coun-
try have been asked to appear before the
ways and means committee next Friday.
The President, who has expressed himself
in favor of free art more than once, has
now written a letter urging early action.
Possibly nothing may be done this winter,

for the purpose of forming a league for
the decoration of the local public schools
The majority of the claSSrOOms of the
public schools in the District of Column
bla have no pictures, casts or other art
objects by means of which the pupils
may become familiar with the great
works of art. And the school board has
no funds at its disposal with which to
supply this need. BY experiment 1t has
been cOncluSvely proved that art has an
ethical as we'll as an esthetic influence,
affecting conduct and helping to mold

that those whose eyes are open to the

league both organizations and individuals.

quently disagree. 1t is quite possible to
initiate a painting SO perfectly that none
can positively detect the fraud, and when
this is done for all intents and purposes
the copy Is Of as great esthetc worth as
the original. In other words, there is no
reason why the individual visiting a gall
need trouble himself, or herself, as to
whether or not the pictures which appear
admirable have been correctly attributed.
1t is the purchaser alone who must be
ware--the individual and more still the
institution. for though ''faked' picture
may do well enough today, it certainly is
not going to stand as many tOmOrrows as
those which have already successfully
Weathered a century or tWo-the pigments
that are used now being far less enduring
And Furthermore there is commercial
aspect-a copy can never bring the price
that an original would command-and a
discredited work is almost valueless. But
it is SO in everything. Undoubtedly there
are in American private collections many
paintings wrongly attributed, but Amer
lea has not a monopoly of such things,
even the great galleries abroad are Oc-
casionally obliged to discard a canvas and
change a superscription. Against the
clever fraud the WiSest have comparative
paid to the intrinsic merit of the painting
and less to the name attached some of
the takers would probably soon have to
go out of business.
THAT the ways and means committee
of Congress has declared it's intention
of taking up the question Of revising the
tariff art and has appointed a hearing
for November % is good news indeed.
For some years an active campaign has
been carried on against the present duty
by the Free Art League, which has a
large membership including artists and
laymen, and apparently not in VAIN
That art should be taxed at all seems
a relic of barbarous days, when 1t was
regarded merely as luxury. And that
1t should be taxed SO heavily appears but
short-sighted wisdom. Internationally the
result is disastrous. But there is differ
ence of opinion as to whether the tariff
should be reduced or abolished. Many
persons strongly believe that a fixed
charge of fifty or one hundred dollars
for each picture entered would be adj
Visable, being in the case Of valuable
paintings merely nominal and yet suffi-
cient to discourage the Importation of in
ferior works. Others suggest twenty
year limit, which in regard to prints has
been proved effective. The artists them
selves are chiefly in favor of no duty at
all. declaring no fear of foreign compe-
tition. But whatever the outcome, all are
agreed that some change is essential.

awaken suspicion and shake the faith of
those who are not experts, and is there

however that there Is probably no gallery
in existence in which there are less I'M
authentic paintings than this. And for
good reason. The Corcoran Gallery since
its inception has acquired chiefly the works
of living painters, and has, in most in
stances. made its purchases from the
artists themselves. It's avowed object
has been the encouragement of American
art and its policy has been consistently
formulated in conformance Herewith. In
regard to the Evans National Gallery

uneasiness, as the utmost care has been

considerable reputation, who might have
been expected to turn out good work. but
defects which were scarcely noticeable in
the small models have become ludicrously

Doubtless they were inspired by the we'll
known Lion of Belfort'' in Paris, but
they lack its dignity and repose. The
positions here, in both instances it has
been pointed out, are strained, the bodies
are shaped like beetles and the hip bones
protrude in a most grotesque manner.
Possibly lions may appear like this at
times, but, If so, it is asked should such
a moment be chosen for transcription?
SO great has been the disgust of certain
art lovers with these unfortunate beasts
that 1T has been suggested that the Com
missioners be petitioned to remove them
and that the President be asked to in
dorse such plea. But it is not so easy to
do away with works of this kind. A pic
