Mr.. Johnston has a keen sense OF the
pictorial, and his interpretations OF land
scape are almost invariably significant
and appealing. He uses, as a rule. low
toned colors, and represents nature In her
gentler moods as did the modern Dutch
men. Some excellent examples Of his
work are to be found in private collec-
lions.
THE Pastellists are holding their Sec
! ond annual exhibition in New York.
This is an organization made up. as its
name signifies, Of those who use pas
tells chiefly as q medium. Among these
contributing to this exhibition are Miss
juliet Thompson, Colin Campbell Cooper.
Ernest Lawson, Mary Cassatt, Joans Lie
and Paul Cornoyer. all Of whom are well

An exhibition of water colors by f.
Hopkinson Smith is being held al
the Knoedler galleries. New York. There
are the usual attractive pictures of Ven
ice and of a quaint corner OF Normandy.
and in addition still newer pictures OF
Dordrecht. in Holland. and Chartres. in
France. where Mr.. Smith passed part OF
last summer. 1t has been a number OF
years since Mr.. Smith exhibited in this
city. Two excellent examples of his
work are to be seen, however, in the
Corcoran gallery.
" G. FISCHER is showing in his new
W galleries in New York some re-
markable works by the old masters which
he secured in Europe last summer.
Among them are a portrait of Cellini by
Tintoretto, a pair Of little full-length por-
traits by Terburg. a marvellous portrait
by Lotto, famous Turner. landscapes
by Sir Joshua Reynolds and by Ruysdael,
and portraits by Rembrandt, Raeburn
and others. These are in most instances
museum exhibits, and will probably go
sooner or later to public institutions. 1t
is to be regretted that they are not to
be shown here. LEILA MECHI-IN.

Wednesday. is more than cred-
tablet is most attractive. The coiiec-
ton is composed of thirty-two paintings
all but six Of which transcribe scenes on
Conanicut Island, where Admiral DAVIS
has his summer home. There are pictures
of the rocky shore and sea, OF inland by
maths and open meadows. The subjects
are well chosen and pleasing and the
manner in which they are set forth Ii
frank. intelligent and convincing. Clear
color is used with good effect. and the
craftsmanship. if sometimes too evident
is almost unfailingly correct.
whether or not Admiral Davis has
studied art under expert instructors or
is seif-taught, the result is the same:
manifestly he has served an apprentice
ship and thereby acquired an accom-
plished technique-command Of his me-
dunn. In but few instances do these
paintings SAVIOR of the novice. of one who
has only given his playtime to art. They
are fresh, colorful and spontaneous. well
constructed, veracious and sincere. Per-
ment. but when the tendency Is as strong
as it is today to overemphasize emotional
quality it is rather refreshing to ma one
who errs on the other side and Is simply
an honest, admiring chronicler.
A picture Of the Bay Of Rio de Janeiro
has the place Of honor on the semi-cir,
cular wall of the hemicycle, and well
merits this distinction. 1t shows the
shores rising like mountains from the

Goodnow, LII. D., Eaton professor

milan Company. Washington:
Brentanos.
This is the seventh volume in the Social
Progress series and is an exposition Of
the extent to which the American Con-
stitution in it's present form bars the
adoption Of important social reform meas
ures proposed by progressives of this
day. The author undertakes no judgment
upon the desrability Of such measures.
nor does he express an opinion as to their
expediency in the present condition OF
American life. He has simply set forth
the constitutional law bearing upon the
vital social and political problems which
this country Is now attempting or Will
soon be called upon to solve. Thus il Is
a great range Of activities looking to the
amelioration Of conditions unfortunately
affecting mankind.

the contrary, the police track him down

describes, in remarkable vividness. the

HOME LIFE IN NORWAY. BY H. X.
Daniels. With twelve illustrations.
New York: The Macmillan Company.
In this volume are set forth the condi-
lions Of Norwegian life among the peas
antry. In point of fact. the Norwegians
are practically ait Of one class as regards
social status, there being no aristocracy
or nobility among them. They are rough
ly divided into two groups. those who live
in the towns and those who live in the
country, and with the exception Of the diff
ferences that naturally pertain to urban
and rural life, the Norwegians lead about
the same kind of careers. The author
writes from the point of view Of great
admiration for the Norwegians and sets
forth the circumstances in which they live
systematically. telling Of their homes
schools, social diversions. sports, food. In.
dustries, dangers and religion. The final
chapter is a graphic description Of day
on a better class farm. The volume is
handsomely illustrated.

follows: Joseph H. Rowland, chief
patriarch; Edmund H. Pitzer, high
priest; H. Gilbert Knox, senior war
den; William G. Loeffler, junior war
den; Herbert M. Booth, guide; Fred
