Here is a remarkable psychological
study, a description OF the deterioration
of a man who buys everything that he
should provide for himself. who shrinks
from the shocks and friction of encoun-
ter with the outer world. who abhors I'M
pieasantness, who makes a virtue of his
daily routine In attendance upon his in

lightful tale to disclose why it was that
Molly ran to the arms of DR.. John in

one of the most charming bits of fiction
that has come from this gifted pen.

comparing favorably with work done In
the leading art schools in this country
In the hemicycle hall are hung the draw
ings from life and the antique entered in
competition for the gold medal. as well as
paintings in oil and water color produced
by pupils in the still life. portrait and
other classes In the schoolroom OPP
posite are drawings from the antique and
from life by students who did not COM
pete for honors.
The hemicycle display Is quite impos-
ing, the impression upon entering the
hall being pronouncedly favorable. which
is due in part to the strength Of the ex-
hibits and no little to the abundance of
good color. 1t is, of course, student
work-that is. work done not for the re-
suit, but for the purpose of study-but for
this reason 1t is none the less interesting.
Indeed, the fact that it IS well directed
and obviously serious is much to its
credit. and these are facts which the
knowing will discern. There is a great
difference between the work of an anna
teur and student, and because the work

commended.
The drawings made in the life class are
particularly good. not only are they we'll
drawn. but vital. The anatomy of the
figure seems to have been understood and
the drawing made with intelligent per-
ceptiOn. The object of study in the life
class is not to be able to copy a human
figure as one would a cast. but to so learn
the construction of the figure that in any
position it may be drawn with correct
ness. This attitude toward the work the
students of the Corcoran school seem to
have grasped, and as a result the life
class drawings are not only skillful, but
significant.
Very much can also be said in praise
of the work of the antique class, which
is, likewise, far above the average. This

is presumably the lowest class in the
school, and that 1t is now showing SO
much strength ausurs we'll for the future.
There is something superb about the an
tique statues, which. to a degree, is
echoed in even a plaster cast, and the
drawings made from these classic models
are far from being as dull as many would
suppose. All of the drawings are madesin
black and white, very simply. but with
certain directness which indicates close
observation and knowledge There are
few very elaborate works, but many
which are really beautifully rendered.
The portrait and draped life classes do
not. perhaps. make as good a showing as
might be desired, but even these may be
commended for painterlike qualities and
apparent sincerity of purpose. In most
instances the drawing Is fairly correct
and the color good, II perchance the brush
work is still a little feeble. To master
medium requires both patience and time.
The still-life class has made marked
advance during the last year. the
studies now on exhibition being Tar
ahead of any previously displayed.
Particularly notable for merit are sew
in great brass jar. This subject in
more than one instance has been treat
ed with astute skill. Some of the
simpler themes have also been adj
mirably rendered.
The water-color class habitually
makes fine showing. but this year it
seems to have surpassed it's previous
standard. The majority of the studies
shown are floral and Of rather large
dimensions Almost without excep-
ton they are rendered with breadth
and feeling. The flowers have that
evanescent quality not often seen in
flower paintings, which carries with
1T a peculiar charm. They are color
full, atmospheric and very artistic.
With the work done in the water
color class are shown some outdoor
studies made independently by mem
bers Notable among these is an ex-
cellent landscape by Miss Kelly and
three or four extraordinarily clever
street scenes by Miss Sawtelle The
latter were done in Washington in the
vicinity of the K street market and are
as gay and picturesque as scenes in
any foreign city.

the usual conventional theme and one Is
surprised that Mr.. Kester has not work
ed out a more novel construction. But his
unmistakable craftsmanship appears and
the tale instead OF developing obviously
works out into unexpected lines that hold
the reader enchanted in interest. Mr..
Hester does not fail to present a group of
vivid, realistic and diversified characters.
He opens his narrative with a sketch OF
Shrimplin, the town lamplighter, who Is
glorious hero to his small son until the
real cowardice Of the man is demon

important part at the beginning and end
of the narrative. He is the god In the

The two tales that comprise this Sc
quel of mystery were printed originally in
the Black Cat Magazine and are now
given book form, as is justified by their
striking merit. An American visiting Paris
finds a strangely scrawled card laid be-
fore him in a cabaret by a handsome
woman. He tries to get the French
words translated. and wherever he shows
the card misfortune strikes him. He is

ions-traditioned upper-hand work upon
mere masculinity. Now it is an amazing
poodle, now an astonishing cat, and
again no more than perfumed blushing

Wiuow tune. 1t is a volume of non
sensical gayety, with its human nature

smiling caricature. Such good fun, made
with so polite grace, makes even the
widow herself, though denying, join in
the general laugh over her unconuuerab BILE

Mr.. Closson Is well known In this city,
having spent several winters here. He
first won distinction as a wood engraver,
and only after the mechanical photo
graphic processes lessened the scope of
activity in this field he turned to painting.
In the recent exhibition of the Society of
Washington Artists two Of Mr.. C1osson' S
pictures were shown. one a spirited land

the effort of the students to give an

Not a few students have gone from the

be greatly increased. washington Is, 1t

which has always been beauty loving.
This matter of location and the fact that
no tuition is charged and only q small
initiation fee, should combine to make
the Corcoran Schools position strategic
in the national development Of art. Aside
from this, however, 1t Is rational and
pardonable to find In the present excellent

pher Columbus were shown. the series,

statues erected in all parts of the world.
Connoisseurs Of art and perfectly posted
students of history are agreed that with
the single exception Of the Savior, more
statues and paintings have been created
to honor the memory OF the admiral OF
the Indies" than any other figure in his
tory.
The late William E. Curtis who was
one Of the commissioners from the United
States to the Columbian exposition at
Madrid submitted a most interesting re-
port. giving an approximate list OF the
monuments that have been erected to
Columbus. He proposed a permanent Co.
for the city OF Washington. Senator
Burnham of New Hampshire once intro
duced bill. but that was as far as tho
matter ever went.
In referring to the fact that although
the exposition at Madrid was intended to
be exclusively historical, and to honor the
memory Of Columbus and his great
achievement. both the man and the great
event which marked his life-the discov-
cry of a new world-were practically ig-
nored by Spain, all the other nations par
ticipating, with the exception of the
United States. Mr.. Curtis pointed out
that there is in existence today much
historical material concerning the early
VOYAGES that has never been assembled
or described and which will undoubtedly
disappear unless some steps are taken to
collect and preserve it.
There is no association in existence
whose motive Is the collection and pres
ervation of Spanish remains in North
America. although there is no more inter-
esting and attractive field for the student
and collector. The southern and south
western states and territories shelter
many interesting relics OF Spanish occu-
patton, and could have contributed a
large number of valuable objects for a
able opportunity for gathering the relics
Of the Spanish epoch in the United States
may never appear again
In Spain there are six large monuments,
the most famous Of which is at BARGE
Iona The Sunol statue is considered one
of the best in that country. There are
more statues of Columbus in America
than in Italy and Spain together. Italy
has twelve, and the United states. with
the completion Of the monument at the
Union station. has thirty-two.
The first monument in the United States
in honor Of the discoverer was erected In
