lumbia was formed last fall under the aus
pieces Of the National Society Of the Fine
Arts. and has already accomplished some
work. It's object is to improve the as
pect of the schoolrooms and school
buildings and cultivate a knowledge OF
and appreciation for things of artistic
worth. The first league of the kind was
organized in Boston about twenty-five
years ago, and it was modelled after one
tablished in England by William Nor
ris and his co-workers. In Salem, Mass.
about the same time the experiment OF
decorating a school was tried at the sug-
list and art teacher. Since then much has
been done IN other cities. In high schools
in New York. Philadelphia and Chicago
historical mural paintings have been
placed. and In the grade schools. in these
and other cities, many excellent pictures
have been hung as well as radical changes
made in wall decoration. One school in
this city has been decorated. but by a
private individual. The local league will
not attempt ambitious work at first. but
begin conservatively, widening its scope
as it's membership grows and its funds
permit. 1t has on its purchasing commit

KHANY Washingtonians visited the
lvl Walters Gallery in Baltimore. last
Saturday, which has again become
mecca for art lovers. The weather was
decidedly inclement, but no less than
600 persons paid for admission. and the
attendance was smaller than usual, it was
said. To one who wishes to gain broad
SURVEY of the field of art. or to the
student equipped with fair knowledge.
this gallery does indeed offer special
allurement, for it includes vast quantity
of varied exhibits and provides large OPP
portunity for individual study. But the
casual visitor may we'll be warned against
greed, for to attempt close scrutiny Of
half the exhibits would be hopeless
for single day. Rather let
him note the delightful way in which in
many forms art has been manifested.
Then after time. through greater
familiarity, the various objects will be-
come as friends. For this reason sec
ond visit is more rewarding than first.

Poor girl. l am sorry for her..
Mrs. Popular looked over at the lonely
| walltiower as she spoke.
Some one ought to tell her how to
be liked in this world" remarked Mrs.
Clever.
"How to be liked? What de you
mean"
''The secret Of life, getting what you
radiate. When you 60 near Miss Wall
flower, do you feel that she likes you
very much:'
well, she has rather a repelling
manner. l always thought it rather
unfortunate"
1T is not so unfortunate as it is self
ish. She wants to be liked without
liking anybody. Now, that sort Of
thing doesn't work in this world. You
get just what you give to others. If
you are suspicious you beget suspicion,
If you are jealous you inspire jealousy,
and if you are cold and selfish you
cannot possibly expect warmth and
generosity.
Miss Wallflower simply wants a
good time. She does not think for one
moment about giving it to others. She
has sour expression on her face, and
yet she expects people to come up and
smile at her She is quite indignant
that she Is left to sit by herself all the
evening. and vet she hasn't sense
enough to stop and wonder why. II
she would cease wondering about her
self and would begin to think about
making other people happy, if she
would honestly ask herself what is her
attitude toward those around her,
what she does for them. what her in
fluence on them is. I'm sure she would
set her feet on the road to happiness"
