Space Filling Up.
The Allied Artists are meeting no diff
Guilty in filling the enormous space at their
command with work from the brushes OF
the best artists. On the contrary. there
is even talk of extending the time of ex-
hbition from a month to six weeks In or
der to allow a rotation of pictures. so
that all applicants will have a chance.
The main idea of the new scheme is to
provide England with a permanent art
exhibition which shall combine all the ad-
vantages of the Royal Academy with the
open door policy of such institutions as
the Indepe ndents. the Societe National
des Beaux Arts and the Salon d Automne
of Paris. 1t is necessary. with such a
wide range, that almost unlimited space
should be al the disposal of such an or
ganization. and hence the Albert Hall
was necessary. This vast place will take
twice the number of pictures as the Royal
Academy, and besides will be able to &C
commodate large decorative designs.
which have been, up to this time, excluded
from the Royal Academy for no other rea-
son than lack of space.
The object of the founders is to present
a fair field and no favor. so that large
and representative exhibition will be held
and artists will have an opportunity of
getting their work passed upon by the
public who, after all. should be the final
arbiters in matters of this kind. The AL
bert Hall is now undergoing certain alter
ations in lighting and interior arrange
ments in order to accommodate the pic
lures. The space is to be divided up into
sections so that. if desired, an artist may
exhibit all of his pictures in one group.

THE MAKING OF PERSONALITY. By
Bliss Carman. author Of Pipes of
ran. etc. Boston: L. 9. Page & Co.
Many of the qualities which make up
the charm of Bliss Carmans verse are
evident in this collection of prose essays.
There is perhaps an added distinction of
dignity and calm which the more emo
tional form Of lyric poetry is not so well
adapted to convey. With Mr.. Carman' s
prose. with his verse. the facility and
ease. the very flow of the diction often
blind the reader to the real value of the
thought. That there is food for thought
in THE Making of Personality" no one
who reads 1t will doubt.
In the opening essay. which analyzes
the various sources by which the human

preface. bigger with spiritual promise

rumored that King Edward has con-

even to open it officially.
Whether the king actually opens the
Royal Albert Hall for the allied artists
or not. the fact remains that he is much
in sympathy with the new movement.

ZINE portraits by Mr. Ernest

America a wear ago in the spring at 'ile
solicitation of Mr. Dupont to paint GER

to Washington and painted a portrait OF

ambassador He then returned to Eng

Washington and has remained here since.

clever achievement, UNAFFECTED, dlrect

are now on view are more or less oroi-
nary and conventional BY TINS IL is not
meant that they are inferior, but that
they are not sufficiently above the aver
age to awaken genuine enthusiasm. Elk
cep,ion. however, might be made OF the
portrait of Mr. William IL. Holmes
curator of the National Gallery, which
is an amazingly good likeness, and, II
little less stiff in pose. would be eminent

the clever work of art the majority
would probably take the former and 1t
NAV be truly said of Mr. Moore's work
that what 1t lacks in brilliancy 1t makes
I'D in truth, and that while his portraits
are not invariably effective they are all
we'll finshed-that they do not need to be
viewed from a great distance. And
comparing the early work with that
quite recently produced, there is evidence
of progress-the brushwork is f.,er the
color fresher. the interpret aticns more
vital. 1t is. perhaps. wrong to demand
too much of painter. and yet wnen one
demonstrates such marked ability it Is
only fair to judge hiS paintings by the
standard of the best. The exhibition
will continue until the 2Gth.
