a panel of hollyhocks modelled after a de-
sign by John La Fargo and gilded by
Mr.. La Fargo himself. 1t measures about
thirty by sixty inches, is irregular in
thickness and Is set in a larger wooden
panel. which serves as a background or
frame. In all probability it was origi-
nally intended for some private house,
but through mischance or uncommon
good fortune 1t remained In Mr. La

secured upon the recommendation OF

artistic and sophisticated. The surface
Of the panel ripples in gentle undulation
and from out 1t emerge three sprays OF
naturaltstic in treatment ana
yet decorative in effect. Here and there
the outline is almost lost in the back
ground, while yet again the flower and
leaf forms spring into strong relief. The
spirit of the flower and the outdoor
world is interpreted with the utmost sub
tlety-that which seems simple. The
panel is in plaster, but it Is richly gilded
and presents an exceedingly rich and
decorative effect. 1t has been hung in
the south gallery on the first floor and 1t
lends a real charm to the environment
in which 1t has been placed.

Washington, I used to believe when
spent summers there years ago, was that
corner at the intersection Of Pennsyl-
vania and New York avenues. where the
cars turn on 18th street. On an August
afternoon. when the air lies dead and
swoonful, and the asphalt Is bubbfng

ments. Most interesting in the historic
sense is the present study of some of the
forerunners of modern opera. This mu-
steal drama is the child of the Roman
Catholic Church, though even before
the music devoted to the worship of
heather deities. But the direct way to
opera lay within the church, where mu-
sic accompanied the delineation of re-
ligious episodes. From this came the
secular drama, another step along this
path. The author devotes the bulk of
this study to the Italian lyric drama.
placing the burden of exposition upon
Poliziano's "Orfeo'' as the foundation
whose subsequent notifications led step
by step toward modern opera. Along
with the historic development of the
musical drama the author defines the
artistic impulse controlling it and ana
lyzes the music of the lyric play in its
bearing on the spectacle OF the drama
itself The work ends with the begin
ming of opera itself in the seventeenth
century.
