only adequate studios, but also exhibition
facilities. III other cities. New York es-
pecialIy, such buildings have proved sue
cessful Investments. and there is reason to
believe that u similar venture would be

ON the New England coast, there are on
this part of the California shore rocky
cliffs rising abruptly from the sea, with
adjacent magnificent stretches of sandy
beaches and dunes. The rocks at Car

pines and other trees of rugged foliage
In manner most picturesque. The trees
themselves are Of distinctive growth
knotted and gnarled, recalling such sp en-
didy decorative specimens as are seen in
some of the works OF the great oriental
painters.
These strange freaks and wild beauties
of nature Mr.. Silva has Interpreted with
real sympathy and evident emotion. He
has not seen the great jutting rocks as
merely grand, but at the same time love-

but their classical appeal. Thirty-six of
the pictures he painted this summer are

The uses Of sorrow in its sequences Of
pity and sympathy are here exalted over
the philosophy of pleasure as a medium
Of final brotherhood and universal peace.
The vehicle of this revelation is a dream
or better a vision wherein the man of
no SORROWS, proclain1ing unbroken JOY
as the true friend of the wor d. is en-
throned above the Man of Sorrows. The
vision grows in the chaos wrought by
the rule of inviolate pleasure and ends
in the self-aba sement of the usurper be

great missioner of ultimate peace and
good VIII. This little story. tender in

its imagery. is one of the first Of the
