1t should be stated here that kwan-

evolution. Originally the god of principle

from the abstract male to the actual fe-
male and becomes the goddess of mercy.
For this reason there are representations
of Kwannon in which 1t is difficult to de-

some the Saint Gaudens statue has pre-

Mr.. La Fargo doubtless would not have
been led to speak of it but for its rela-

the commission was given to Saint

to Japan which Mr.. La Fargo made with
Mr.. Henry Adams. historian and son of

have been an entirely different one. But,
like Mr.. La. Farge's own picture of

had its origin in the Japanese journey of
Mr.. La Fargo and his friend.
When the artist and Mr.. Adams came
back from the east they had made the
acquaintance of Okakura, whom Mr.
La Fargo considers the greatest authority
on japanese art, and who also is a
traveller and Buddhist philosopher. AS a
result of their acquaintance with Okla
