What is the most beautiful writing

of Charles Dickens. 1t never caused q
friend to waste a moment, but Thack-
eray's did not. either. and Thackeray's
was not beautiful. Dickens was fastidious
In his choice of pens, and wrote by pref
erence with quill. and his touch has
that variety of thick and thin-down-
stroke and upstroke-which is taught by
the writing master but neglected by the
pupil when he grows up, and which a
quill pen performs more delcately and
with more spring than steel pen. Dick
ems. moreover made beautiful capital
letters. and made them impulsively, not
heavily: his writing ran and leaped, and
never showed a clumsy attitude. II have

HANKE to the unrenitting efforts OF

National Gallery Of Arts. the new
cot adjunct to the Smithsonian 1nstitu-
ton. tho mystery Of the unknown portrait
By the unnamed artist which has puzzled
the authorities Of the institution for the
past four years has been solved. Cura-
tor Holmes. ably assisted by his artist
friends all over the United States, has
been engaged since 1907. when the por-
trait was first presented to the gallery.

It's subject. Now he announces his tri-
umph. II Is a portrait OF T. Buchanan

was painted by the poet-artist himself
More than four years ago Miss Maria
Fassett Robinson of Washington made a
donation Of paintings and other works of
art to the National Gallery. Included in
the donation was the unknown. As
work OF art 1t was deserving of place
In any gallery Of paintings. AS a portrait
II was absolutely lacking in historical
value. and unsigned 1t was impossible OF
classification. Therefore Curator Holmes
took up the work of running down the
Identity of his mystery.
Artists and critics. old and young, who
visited the National Gallery were asked
for their opinions. Most of them recog-
nized the merit of the painting, but none
could Identify either its subject or It's
authorship.

died her donation was made a perma-
