TWO PICTURES.
In a New York gallery there recent
ly hung two pictures by the Spanish
artist Sorolla Y Bastida.
One was a picture of sunshine.
In this picture the artist flooded the
Valencian sea and shore with the
splendor of June The sunburst falls
in great brilliancy upon the bronzed
faces of fishermen in their gorgeously
colored plaid skirts. The luminous
| brightness lights up the shiny coats of
| the stolid oxen. 1t touches with gid
ing the white foamed waves as they
break inshore. It transforms the flap
ping sails Of the fishermen's boats into
cloth Of gold. The waters beneath are
illumined, and the golden air holds up
a purely azure sky.
At a glance you understand. 1t is
sunshine and happiness!
The other picture by Sorolla is q fit
companion piece Beneath 1t Is writ
ten:
"A Sad Inheritance"
There is no sunshine in this picture.
It's pervading color is not gold, but
gray. The same sea and strand are
shown, stretching out to a forbid
ding horizon. Grewsome shadows Turk
in the depths of the dark waters, and
over all looms a threatening sky.
That is the background Of this awe

hideously deformed; some are cripples
with pitifully enlarged joints. A black
robed priest is helping a diseased
youth on clutches. These boys are
the inmates of a house Of refuge fol
waifs-the innocent descendants of 6
parentage that has brought upon then
disease and pain and early doom.
1t is an awful picture to look upon
but a true one!
There is no need to say, Look upor
