But Joan inisted that this reign Of ter

in the barracks. and Sheldon. aided
by Joan's sailors. succeeded in res.

The blacks were not outraged from the
standpoint of cleanliness: they often
took baths in the caldrons themselves.
The trouble lay in that the bather had

for to the Solomon islanders all fe'
males are low. degraded and wretched.

Der of American art collectors who spend
many thousands upon paintings and other
works of art is increasing. 1t is. said
upon good authority that if some Ameri-
can collections We're placed on the mar
ket every museum director and great
collector in Europe would come to the
United States to attend the sale. Great
pictures are becoming scarce and hence
bringing enormous prices. Sixty-f1Ve
thousand dollars was paid, for a Corot at
a sale at Christie's in London this sum-
mer and sold the next day at an ad-
vanced price to a French collector. But
of the genuineness of this Corot there
was no question. 1t was not, as are SC
many which have been brought to this
country, a sad imitation of the master S
work.
There is a moral in all this, however,
which is that when works by great mas
tiers are bringing in the foremost sales
rooms upward of $4,000. genuine works
are not to be picked up by a chance pur-
chaser at what would in comparison be
mere song. The pictures which Mr..
Fischer succeeded in getting in Europe
this summer will undoubtedly be shown
in New York first, but they will like
wise from time to time be set forth in
his Washington gallery.

A HEAD of young woman painted
"A by Abbott H. Thayer has been pre-
scented to the Corcoran Gallery by V. G.
Fischer. 1t is a small canvas. but was
produced during Mr.. Thayer's best period.
and is thoroughly characteristic. 1t is
broadly painted, and has a certain sculp-
turesque quality which is found in all
Mr.. Thayer's works. In it. Furthermore,
the values are nicely related, and light
laid against dark in a peculiarly skillful
manner. The Corcoran Gallery should
have one of Mr. Thayer's larger and
more important canvases-one Of the Fir-
gin series if it were possible-but in lieu
of that, or even in addition to it, this lit
tie study should prove most acceptable.

NE of the leading events of
the coming winter will be the
exhibition of representative
portion of the Freer collection,
which will open in the New
National Museum in December or Janu-
AIRY. This exhibition will comprise orr
entail works of art, Chinese and Japanese
paintings, screens and kakemonos
bronzes, pottery and other objects of
rare beauty, besides paintings by Whist
Ter, Abbott Thayer. Dewing and Troyon
1t will be set forth in the west hall,
which is similar in size to the north hall,
now occupied by the National Gallery
collections, and will be charmingly ar
ranged.
Special cases have been designed and
executed and every detail has had the
personal supervision of Mr.. Freer The
Freer collection was decided TO. the nation
some years ago. but with the understand
ing that it would not be transferred to
Washington until after the donors death
meanwhile il is being steadily increased.
Mr.. Freer spent the greater part of last
winter in China searching for rare and
valuable works of art and finding many
real treasures. He visited several of the
interior cities where Caucasians have sell
dom been, and made therein many inter-
esting discoveries. Mr.. Freer went first
to Kai Feng Flu. the ancient capital of
the empire. where during the Sung dy-
nasty the imperial porcelain kilns were
located. From there he journeyed to
Honan-fu, near which are found the Won
derfuI rock-hewn temples of Lung men,
some of which contain as many as $4,000
carved statues
Mr.. Freer spent three weeks at Lung
men and went from there back to Picking,
then to Manchuria. where ne visited the
great imperial collection, then to Shang-
hal and Hangchow. An interesting &C.
count of his entire trip is given In a re-
cent issue of Academy Notes. the Of
fetal publication of the Buffalo Fine Arts
Academy. 1t is Mr.. Freers plan 10 re-
turn to China again in the comparatively
near future in order to press still further

THE National Gallery collections are
being steadily increased. Within the
last month Mr.. Evans has made some
notable additions to the collection which
bears his name. Most important of these
are Wyatt Eaton's painting entitled
"Ariadne" and William Morris Hunts
painting, The Spouting Whale" Both
are small, but exceedingly valuable cam
vases. and have been for a number Of
years counted among the treasures of
Mr.. Evans private collection. They were,
in fact, both in the we'll remembered
Evans sale, from which they were pur-
chased back by their erstwhile owner.
In the catalogue of that sale was print
mate of the art of Wyatt Eaton, which
reads as follows:
such paintings of Wyatt Eaton as the
Ariadne. Daphne and La Cigale recall
Francois Millet, SO beautifully are they
in sentiment and so soberly rich in color.
Such art In painting the nude Is rare.
Wyatt Eaton, however. in these and
other compositions gave proof of the
sincerity and singleness of his artistic
purposes, and conclusively showed that
he was moved by a high sense of imagin-
ative beauty. The fine fullness of his
drawing and the rich deep SenSuOuSneSS
of his color place his pictures among the
supremacy artistic productions of our
time
Wyatt Eaton was born in Canada in
1S49. but went to New York when a
young man to study art. Some years
were spent abroad in the atelier of
Gerome, but until his death. some years
ago, Mr.. Eaton claimed New York as his
home. He was one of the founders of the
Society of American Artists, which only
recently was merged into the National
Academy of Design
William Morris Hunt was one of the p.o-
neers of American art. He was born in
Brattleboro, VT, in 1924, and studied
abroad; from whence he returned, how
ever, deeply imbued with faith in the de-
velopment of art in his own country. He
settled at Newport and drew around him
group of young students to whom he
impaired his enthusiasm and convictions
One OF those whom he most strongly in
huenced was John La Fargo Mr.. Hunt
painted two large decorations for the
capitol at Albany East and the Morn
