Morrey galleries. Before 1905 Mr.. Horn
by was working in New England and
that year in Paris series of his etchings
were published under the title of IAN
Artists Sketchbook of Old Marblehead."
These attracted much favorable attention
both in this country and abroad. and he
is now classed in France with the fore
most modern etchers. His student days
were spent in Paris and 1t is there that
for the past few years he has resided.
The winter Of 1905 however, he spent in
North Africa, chiefly in Tunis where he
found many congenial subjects for trans
cription in color. The prints In the pres
ent exhibition are both in monotint and
color and 1t is difficult to determine
which are the more attractive.
Almost WITHOUT exception they are
street scenes, showing not only the quaint
architecture Of city byways. but. to an
extent. the life of the people This gives
a special note of interest to Mr.. Hornby's
work. for, after all, as a well known con-

where it is needed for emphasis. To be
sure there are some exceptions.
In two nocturnes done in or near Tunis
he has pursued the other method and pro-
duced an effect resembling water color.
The monotint etchings are no less inter-
esting than those in color, but they seem
to vary little more in point of merit

quite commonplace. There is one of street

Imagine, il you please, time when
every family can have its own flying
machine means of getting out for
a day with as much safety as now at
tends the automobile or the old fami-
ly horse. Wouldn't such a thing add a

nance the pleasure of living to be able
to take the wife and babies out for a
spin in the sky, where the air is pure,
where all of the earth is spread out
before one even as it is spread before

to the sum total of human happiness
to take to the clouds as do the birds

SOCIAL CLIMBERS IN NEVADA

chitecture of a box car, says Good
Housekeeping. Tomorrow he is build
ing a villa" with real clapboards and
shingles, hiring a Chinaman OF all
work and sending to Frisco for a
brass bed and a Persian rug. Some
very pretty little houses begin to dot
the barren landscape. A railroad
stretches its metal arm down into the
gold-bearlng wilderness and links IT
with the outer world. Come tailors,
modistes and milliners, soda water
and ice cream, clergymen and drum
mers. pickpockets and actors and all
that splendid procession from the cozy
corners OF civilization.
social conditions were decidedly
perplexing. Your washerwoman ac-
cepted a mining claim for an uncollect-
able debt Suddenly the claim yields
her a fortune, whereat, to show you
that her wealth has not made her
snobbish, she purchases an elaborate
portable house and settles down as
your next-door neighbor.
However, if you take it into your
head to move away from the vicinity
of the fortunate lavandiere you would
find the moving problem quite simple.
A small force of husky men can pull
your house up by the roots and carry
it up hill or down a slope without
any great exertion-that is, unless
your dwelling is dobe, or you happen
to be one of the bonanza crowd and
have pnne In for heavy architecture.
