cation to Japan. is being held in Miss

These printS-Over 300 in number-were
purchased about thirty years ago in Japan,

or the making of copies lucrative. They

lines and often delightful color. They
are furthermore exceedingly decorative.
The best are excellent. the worst have
comparatively no merit at all, and be-
tween the two there is a wide difference.
In this fact lies much of the interest In
collecting. the delight of discovery and
acquisition. To those who have made a
study of Japanese prints this exhibition
will be found genuinely interesting.
A SPECIAL exhibition Of arts and

craftsmen was held at the Arts and
Crafts School on New York avenue this
week. This exhibition comprised jeweiry

this city, whose studio and workshop is
on the upper floor of one of the Arts and
Crafts School building; by Miss Florence
Nesmith of Lowell, Mass; of jeweled wax
miniatures by Miss Burke of Lowell, and
of fabrics printed and embroidered by
Miss Bush-B Brown of Washington, daugh-
| ter of the sculptor. Miss Greely's jeWelry
was for the most part simple in design,
| but well made, refined and individual;
Miss Nesmith's was much more elaborate,
but also well wrought and admirably de-
| signed. Her enameling was especially
good-as fine, in fact, any which has
been produced in this country. Her metal
work was also far above the ordinary,
cleverly designed and beautifully wrought.
No better work of the kind has been
shown in this city, or is, indeed, to be
found anywhere.

ground, which is relieved only by a dark
sail suggesting the nearness of the sea.
Neither the woman or the child are
comely. and the woman's gown. which is
a dull terra Gotta color. is far from
picturesque or attractive; yet this paint
ing is one which makes strong appeal,
deeply stirring the emotions. Critically
examined, il will be found far from fault
less, but it's bigness of conception well
outweighs all technical shortcomings
Ii is the drama of life that Mr.. Haw
thorne has depicted, not just woman
and child, and II is this which signifies.
Without doubt this picture was painted
i'm Provincetown, Mass, that quaint old
| fishing village on the tip end Of Cape Cod.
for il Is there that Mr.. Hawthorne has
spent his summers of recent years, MAX
ing friends of the Portuguese fishermen
| and their families, among whom he has
found his models. The first of his paint
ings that came to attention were of the
fishermen themselves, strong. plain men
| in olskins ready for battle with the ele-
ments. Then lovely mother and child,
a modern Madonna, was shown, full of
tenderness and fine sentiment. Lately,
! that is for the past two three years
he has exhibited groups Of figures. men
and women. boys and girls. which have
had both strength and tenderness-real-
| ism revealing profound truth. Such was
his picture entitled Youth" which was
| shown in the Corcoran Gallery's last ex-
hibition, and such is his picture THE
Hearn for the Metropolitan Museum.
| Mr.. Hawthorne's style is extremely
| simple He is virile, but not a graceful
| painter; he does not concern himself with
| fine surfaces or suave brushwork; his
| color is laid on in big masses and rather
/ loosely, almost cumsily. ii would seem,
| at times, but on the whole nothing Is
| really sacrificed in the effect, the pur-
| pose for which he aims Is altogether &C
| complished. There is that In his work
which lifts 1t above the common plane
and gives it. even beyond the present,
| enormous promise.
/ Hawthorne was born In Illinois. He
! studied under William NJ. Chase and H.
| Siddons Mowbray i'm New York. and has
| received from time to time numerous
medals and prizes. His paintings have
| been acquired for the permanent collec-
tons OF the Worcester Art Museum and

MONDAY and Tuesday of this week
4VA Miss Muhlhofer held an exhibition of
decorated china at her studio on East
Capitol street. China painting today is
very different from what it was even a
decade ago. conventional design having
taken the place of naturalistic patterns.
Good taste prevails now in this work as
in other branches of craftsmanship. Miss
Muhlhofer showed bowls, vases, plates,
jars and other objects handsomely deco
rated: some in light colors. others in what
Is known as the luster colors. and yet
others in the Wedgewood, solid. heavy
colors and high paste enamel. Almost
without exception the designs were con-
ventional and peculiarly suited to the
use of the object to which they We're ap-
piled. Miss Auhlhofer is a student of tie

more than usual ability.
