that moment she recognized him. With
a purely mechanical effort, he raised his
hat and held out his hand.

VHE exhibition of paintings py
Birge Harrison, which opened
in the Hemicycle Hall of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art this
week, is particularly attractive
AN exhibition which can be seen again
and again without loss of interest.
Twenty-six pictures hang in a single
row in this spacious gallery, and each
may be truly said to have its own charm
The subjects are we'll chosen and are
rendered with consummate skill. No one
is what might be called a commonplace
theme. There are, to be sure. meadows
and roof tops, city streets and country
lanes, but they are interpreted at time
when the effect Of light gives them special
significance Mr. Harrison is essentially
a poet-painter, and it is the poetic in ma
ture that finds expression in his canvases.
Writing Of Mr.. Harrison's work some
years ago in Scribner's Magazine, Mr..
Traske, director of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts, said:
IF he had not been painter he would
have been a poet. In all his recent work
one finds bigness of theme, combined with
simplicity of presentation, and through all
runs a deep current Of sentiment gov
erned by an appreciation of the mechani-
cal limitations os his medium which
makes for proper restraint. Always there
is strong reserve in color and always
beautiful balances in compOsition-indeed,
/ feel that it is the picturesque unity OF
his canvases that gives them their strong
est hold upon his audiences.
Thus IL will be seen that with the poetic
vision goes artistic knowledge; with the
seeing eye the trained mind and hand.
and that through this combination comes
felicitous result. The fact is that in all
Mr.. Harrison's work there is the ele-
ment of completeness. His pictures are
not mere fragmentary notes. not mere
impressions, but complete compositions,
carried as far as they can be carried.
AS a rule they run short gamut in
tones: there are rarely intense contrasts
of light and shade and no blatant notes
but the harmonies are perfect and sug-
gest not accidental achievement, but well
considered purpose. Furthermore his
Probably it will not occur to visitor to
this exhibition to ask or wonder how
Mr.. Harrison painted his pictures The
labor Of production is entirely obliterated.
the desired effect retained. 1t Is not
question of such and such a mixture OF
colors. but of moonlight, OF twilight, OF
sunshine and shadow. One is glad OF
the strong, breezy works of art that are
produced today by score of virlle young
painters, but for constant companionship
there could be little choice between them
and these subtler. more reserved and nm
ished works by this experienced artist.
1t is interesting to note that many of
the effects that Mr.. Harrison has tran
scribed are peculiarly transient-an effect,
for instance. which is produced by a
cloud fitting across the moon or by
combination Of light and shadow, which
could not have been painted on the In
slant, but which carry with them the

of growth and in harmony with its meas
ures for improvement. To make this
subject quickly useful to the reader, and
student Of less than complete scientific
training, Is the excellents purpose OF this
study. That the book is practical does
not name it empiric. That it is readable
does not mark it unthoughtful. 1t is a
scholarly. comprehensive, pointed. ex-
perimental and suggestive view Of the
uses of modern psychology
UNCLOTHED. A novel. BY Daniel
Carson Goodman. New York: Mitch
ell Kennerley.
The erratic novel that points no moral
is Of no earthly use. Descriptions Of hui
man emotions and vagaries that do not ap-
peal to the higher senses may have their
commercial purposes in values, but they
are certainly not contributory to the
strength or the character Of letters. I'm
clothed is one Of these bits Of pointless,
valueless print. It may be entertaining to
some, but it will be Of importance to no
one.
THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND
SHOT. BY Rufus Gilmore. Illus
trated. New York: D. Appleton &,
Co.
II Bertrand Newhall, president Of the
Province Trust Company, had not had a
life insurance policy that was invalidated
by suicide he would probably not have
arranged the elaborate scheme Of self
destruction which permitted him to in
volve. after his own death, the life of one
whom he bitterly hated. Mr.. Gilmore
tells this story with brisk directness, and
yet with the requisite amount Of restraint
that goes with q true narrative OF crime
unravelment. He makes a young news
paper man his chief agency of detection
and discloses an intimate knowledge of
journalistic conditions that suggests his
own environment. The artist who made
the paper cover that accompanies this
volume has contributed effectively to the
appeal Of the Imagination by presenting
a picture OF Mr.. Newhall in the throes of
death. With this sort of proclamation
the story ought to find wide circulation.

and has a keen sense Of the pic
turesque and his work in very pop
ular. This painter had great promise
and if he could have produced more
gradually and gone to nature more, there
is no doubt he would have made a name
for himself among artists. AS it is his
pictures are pretty but almost nothing
more. They are pictorial, but artificial
and unreal. their values are poorly re-
lated and their colors are frequently in
harmonious. Occasionally he almost at
tains a very charming result. but just
there a lack Of knowledge or care in
trudes and the result falls short.
