THERE has recently been published in
! Leipzig a guidebook of art in New
York and Boston. an admirable little VOL
ume, well written and beautifully Illus
trated. The author gives first a brief
historical sketch of New York, then draws
attention to examples OF colonial archi-
lecture to be found therein and in Bos-
ton, touching upon the furniture made in
America in colonial times. He then pro-
ceeds to enumerate and comment upon
examples of ancient art. art Of the mid
die ages. of the renaissance and later
centuries, to be found In the public mu-
seums and art galleries of these t"o
great cosmopolitan cities. To the average
American reader the amount of treasure
discovered must be surprise, and in the
estimate given of the choiceness of the
examples one cannot but take pride.
Finally the book concludes with a resume
of American painting and sculpture, brief
but comprehensive and comparatively
correct 1t is exceedingly interesting to
thus see ourselves through foreign eyes.
The publication is at least recognition
of merit of our public collections and a
tribute to those who have helped to up
build them LEILA MECHLIN.

But his pessimism gave way to a more
hopeful frame Of mind when the jury
began. The whole city likewise heaved
sigh of relief. The people had been
puzzled and disguised by the delay, and
now looked forward to the outcome with
all the keener eagerness to see justice
done. Even before the hour for opening,
the streets around the criminal court
were thronged, the halls and Hobbies were
packed with crowd which gave evil
dence of breathless interest. No inch
of space in the courtroom was untenant-
ed. an air of deep importance, a hush of
strained expectancy, lay over all.

the other witnesses for the state, a good

Caesar Maruff1, massive, calm, powerful:
at the other end sat Elmo Cressi, huddled
beside his father, his pinched face be-
wildered and terror-stricken.
A buzz of voices arose as the crowd
caught it's first full glimpse of the man
who had SO nearly lost his life through
his efforts to bring these criminals to
justice. Upon Maruffi's face was a look
of such malignant hate that the witness
stiffened in his chair. For one brief in

Published by the association.
Fresh air is about the most abundant
and the cheapest of all commodities
with which humanity has to do. and yet
it is rare, and in a great many cases
used in the maintenance
of good health. DR.. Darlington, in this
presented work, shows how
an abundance of fresh air is within the
reach of every one, whether millionaire
or tenement dweller. The work Is pub
lished by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, but 1t does not primarily deal
with methods of treating this disease
in the open air 1t is aimed chiefly to
insure the maintenance of health. SO
that diseases will not be incurred. DIR.
Darlington gives a wide range OF open
air sleeping methods some of them in
genious in their utilization of all space
and their cheapnesS of construction.
Many illustrations are Incorporated in
the text to make it possible for the
reader to devise his own schemes for
utilizing the open air.

Miss Cecilia Beaux has a charming

another Of the artists studios. On Sat
urday in early September Mr.. Brooke
and Mr.. Max Weyl held joint exhibit
ton in Mr.. Brooke's studio. Both made
excellent showings, displaying numerous
canvases painted during the preceding
week. The weather was not particularly
favorable on the New England coast for
outdoor painting this summer, being
neither steadily good or bad. For this
reason much work which was begun was
not completed, but both Mr.. Brooke and
Mr.. Weyl are indefatigable workers and
result of their holiday season they
will have some fine canvases to show.
Miss Perrie, too, has had successful
summer and has returned with some ex-
cellent studies both in water colOrS and
in oils.
nURING the summer Miss Sara Bartle
- painted a miniature of Mrs. J. w.
Pilling of this city, who has summer
home at East Gloucester. The coloring
is delicate but charming: the modelling
refined, but firm; the expression and like
ness are excellent-in short, it is an ex-
quisite and most satisfactory work. Done
somewhat in the old close manner, it has
the spirit of the newer style and is vital
as we'll as intimate and beautiful. Such
work is rare.
