Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-13

Much interest has been manifested in
the first exhibition of the Fine Arts
league now being held at the Steckel
gallery. A reception and tea was held
Sunday afternoon from 8 to 6, to which
a large number of invitations were is
sued and the galleries were crowded
with art lovers, artists, connoisseurs,
and those generally interested in the
work OF the league.
One of the best of the landscapes
shown is by Hanson Puthoff, a splen-
did piece of color and fine effect, full
of sunlight and good values. 1t is
strong and forceful without sacrificing
any of the finer qualities so often lost
in an apparent effort at bold handling.
The work shown by this artist during
the past year or so has told of his rapid
advance to the foremost ranks or
American painters.
Benjamin Chambers Brown is repre-
scented by California landscape, called
Morning Light on Mount Tamalpais,"
in this artists usual poetic rendering
of nature. A study of boys head, by
Lu Deem Christensen, shows much
feeling and understanding for facial
expression and bespeaks tenderness
and sympathy A full length three

The collection is well hung and pre-
sents a most creditable showing, the
work of our western artists losing
nothing by comparison with the east
ern group. Visitors have crowded the
gallery, though an admission fee has
been charged except on Saturday.
An exhibition of portraits by H. G.
Shriner. late of Paris, is being held
in the Gould gallery, West Fifth street.
Mr. Shriner has been a resident in
Europe since 1889. having made numer-
Gus visits to his American home dur
ing that time. He studied two years
with Carolus Duran and was also
pupil of Leon Bonnat, and Cormon, and
at one time was with Munkacsy, who
painted the famous picture, Christ
Before Plate" Mr.. Shriner exhibited
in the Salon, but his exhibitions in this
country have all been in private gall
leries. He shows twenty portraits,
most of which are broadly handled.
painted, he tells us, after the manner
of Duran and Bonnat. The artificial
lighting makes is impossible to prop
erly judge these paintings, as all the
soft reflected tones on the flesh are
entirely lost, which makes the faces
appear hard and cold. the effect be-
ing quite different by natural light.
The most important canvas in size Is
of Rt. Rev. Bishop Conaty, who is por-
trayed in his cassock cape and sash,
with an expression that is serene and
happy. The modelling in the face of

Mr.. A Good Fello,u on Keeping Cool

 Speaking of baths puts me in mind of the chaps who bsthe to keep cool. One uses cold water Another can't see fl at all unless the tub Is filled with boiling hot water. Heat drives out heat. he argues. Still another would just as leave wash in a tin basin unless hls tub water Is embellished with bag of sea salt.
 Then there's the wise cazRbo who gathers his family around him of an evening and struggles and crowds and pushes aboard a trolley and hies away to one of the out-Of-town resorts.

Count Your Change.

TIT would probably surprise many, If
 they should begin from now on to count their change. to find how many mistakes are made and either too much or too little change given. A man fin a hurry the other day entered restaurant for lunch, and after partnking of fairly good meal took up his check. If read fifty cents Taking out his purse, he found he had q S5 and a Sl bill. and, banding the s1 to the cashier. he received his change and slipped 1t into his vest pocket
 A little further down the street he spied in a store window a pretty necktie reduced from fifty cents to twenty-five. Seeing that this really was bargain. he entered the shop. bought the tie and gave the coin he had dropped in his vest pocket to the man. His necktie was wrapped up and handed him. but still he waited. Finally he said; 'I believe I have twenty-five cents coming to me. The clerk looked at his book and said: No. That is all right. You gave me A quarter" The man protested, but hay ing nothing to show that he had given the clerk fifty cents. he had to let the matter drop. He could not tell whether the mistake had occurred at the res taurant or in the store.

YyHHAT makes man shy at the AZ taItar when 1t comes to being mar " ried? This is a question whlch has puzsled maayr yet 1t has never been fully solved. And 1t is unaccountable why many a man who would face any kind of danger "shfes'' at the altar Thomas Carlyle could not sleep Tor weeks in fear of what he called the ''odious ceremony" He stated that hls mind was full of horrible imaginings and present fears"
 One of those who most feared the altar and the marriage ceremony was President Abraham Lincoln Prince George. of Wales. feared his wedding ceremony so much that he drank too much just a few minutes before the event and almost had to be carried to the altar He wept copiously during the ordeal" Many another man has equip ped himself with Dutch courage be- fore taking the final step.
 A story is told of a bride and groom who went to a minister to be married. The groom was in a very bad state of intoxication. The minister refused point blank to marry them. telling the bride to bring her future husband around an other time when he was sober. They
