collectors could only obtain examples oil

NOTES.

About three hundred Thumb Box"
sketches by American artists may be
seen at the Powell Gallery. These little
odds and ends OF observation make a
varied and amusing show. The frag-
ments Of the American countryside done
by Mr.. Coffin. Mr. Hoeber and Mr. Van
Laer the picturesque foreign notes Of
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Eaton. the gimpses
Of the city streets painted by Mr.. Cor
noyer,> the pretty girls OF Mr.. Morgan
and so on through a long list In which
we have specially noted the sketches
by Mr.. Bicknell, Mr. Dufner, Mr.. Reevs
and Mr.. Grippe. are sincere and pleas
ing. With such vlvacious and quite I'M
pretentious cleverness one may pass,
perhaps, a more profitable hour than
with some pictures testifying TO more
serious aim. AT the KATE Gallery there
is an exhibition Of recent portraits by
G.. Lawrence Nelson. bronzes by Fred
erick G. r. Roth. and a group OF small
paintings by the late Allen B. Talcott.

MISS cAssATT.
When Miss Mary Cassatt hrst figured
in the exhibitions her Indebtedness to
Manet was obvious. She has ranked as
an irnressjonist. and a very distin-
gulshed one. ever since. But in more re-
cent years the pure fiat tones and the
rather staccato brushwork so reminis-
cent OF her master have little by little
been subjected TO certain broadening In
fuences. Her handling is looser and her
color is both more luscious and more
luminous. Nine paintings by her are
now on view at tie Durand- Ruel CAL
lery. sincere and charming studies OF
maternity and adolescence. Mother and
child appear again and again In these
pictures. occupied with the little trifiss
Of domestic life and love or posed for the
sake of an attitude or gesture. Approx
mating to the blandly sensuous key OF
Renoir rather than to the strong. imper-
sonal and almost harsh note OF Manet,
the paintings renew our sense OF the ar
lists technical competence and give us,
into the bargain, a more winning. more
fragrant impression. There is admira-
BILE, honest workmanship here and there
is more human spirit. without max
ing any mawkish sacrifices to sentiment
Miss Cassatt nevertheless gives her sub
jects a chance. It is a capital exhioi-
ton.

Thomas Quinn, a laborer, "a years

held this morning without bail in the

suit of injuries he is alleged to have in
ficted upon Michael Kofueci, a Pole,
who Is in st. Michael's Hospital, suf-
feroing from three broken ribs and a.
possible fracture of the skull.
Late last night Mrs. James Nc

She saw Kofuecki looking in the win
dow severa times. Becoming right
ened, she told Quinn. who went out TO

the Pole lying in the gutter at the cor

and gave chase to Quinn, who was
caught after a long run.
Anyone who locks me up will have
