 "Lenox has always prided itself upon it's men of letters Hawthorne lived there in the little red house in the days when Fanny Kemble, the English actress, was finding peace and happiness in the Berk- shire hills. This year all the Berkshire resorts have been honored by the pres ence of clever people; even geniuses have been among the visitors. MT. James Barnes Uhough more apt to be referred to as a war correspondent than genius) is at Lenox with his people, and he is one of the celebrities who believe in the ben efits of long walks. There are benefits, Of course, in landscape painting, for crit ics before those pictures showing close acquaintance with meadows, with cattle browsing and with roadside flowers. To MT. Barnes the chief benefit Is physical, for he is not given to poetic word sketches or Petrarcan sonnets. Recent ly he walked to Colebrook, Vt, from Lenox, more than 60 miles, to visit his sister, Mrs. s. Warren Sturgis MT. Ed ward l.. Morse, the artist. with Mrs. Morse, are now missed from the colony. They have leased their cottage to Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans of Beverly, and have gone to the Maine woods, taking shooting box in Aroostock county, where Mr. Morse, however, contemplates paint ing rather than hunting. MT. Thomas Shields Clarke and MT. Augustus Luke mann, each are working on important commissions. MT. Clarke recently built a fascinating tea house in his gardens at Fernbrook, and with Mrs. Clarke pre- siding there have been some cheery little gatherings there.
