at his London lodgings large. gaudy
bandbox containing a marvellous millinery
creation. 1t would be quite enough to
upset even the most philosophical trav-
eler, especially as the millinery shop in

the hat in its loudly proclaiming con-
tainer on the ship, the victim of this I'M
welcomed attention found that another
box of precisely the same kind was on
board in the possession of a most at
tractive young woman. 1t Is at this point
that the plot thickens, and 1t gets very
thick indeed before the end Is reached,
when the old abandoned summer hotel on
Wreck Island goes up in flames. In this
case as in the case of Mr.. Hazeltine's
sable Lorcha," battling personal re-
semblance makes all the trouble. The
story is one of Mr.. Vance's best produc-
tons and shows that he has not lost the
craftsmanship that marked his earlier
work in the writing Of tales of mystery
and adventure.

forth in excellent caricature. de-

1.-The Subject in Art" before the Wash

Playhouse next Wednesday evening. Mr..
Cox is one of the foremost authorities
on art in this country today, and one
whose utterances necessarily command
respect. He is an ardent believer in
classic tradition, and maintains firmly
that subject in art is of profound i'm
portance. He is the painter of several
in the Library Of Congress, and Of mural
paintings in public buildings in other
cities; he is the author of a number of
books on art, among which may be
specially mentioned 1.-The Classic Point
of View" and of that little verse familiar
to many which runs:

Who works for glory misses oft the goal;
Who works for money coins his very soul.

made that which at first was borrowed
her own; had not merely initiated it, but
assimilated it. In most instances this
had been a natural rather than de-
liberate development; climate, surround
1ngs and contemporary life logically
brought their influence to bear upon the
art of the period. Thus Greek art be-
came essentially Greek, Italian art Pc
culiarly Italian and Dutch art charac-
teristic of Dutch predictions.
In America, Mr.. Brooke reminded his
hearers, we are as yet little beyond the
borrowing period; as nation we are
very young, as people very cosmopoli-
tan. All this initiates against our pro-
typically American. for instance. as the
Russian today is typical Of that nation.
To this fact Mr.. Brooke attributed a
certain laXity of interest on the part OF
the public. Why Is 1t, he asked, that so
many pass through our picture galleries
today finding nothing to definitely engage
their attention, nothing which makes di-
rect appeal? And he himself answered.
Because American art does not definitely
reflect American life and does not appeal
to our national sympathies. 1t is true,
though Mr.. Brooke did not call 1t to at
tentIon, that Winslow Homer was the
most distinctively American of all our
painters and that he Of all was the most
universally admired both here and abroad.
national spirit cannot be consciously
cultivated, but, as Mr.. Brooke urged upon
his hearers. it is we'll to avoid imitation
and to seek ones themes near at hand.
Interpreting, as far as possible, with COM
plete frankness nature and life as we
ourselves see them.

and meritorious pictures now on view

Through the Woods" all three of which
are to be counted among his best. Mr..
Holmes will be represented by his de-
lightful picture of an old mill. one of
his f1owery meadows, and a third pic

clouds had just been brushed from the
sky each Of which is characteristic,

committee Of which Francis c. Jones Of

comprise not only paintings. but other
works Of art, for example representa-
tive art school work, photographs Of
important works by American illustra-
tors, engravings and SO forth. Some Of
the exhibitions aggregate more than a
hundred thousand dollars in value and
they travel sometimes as far as the
Pacific coast. During the past winter
there have been nine in circulation and
these have been shown in thirty or
more cities in the middle west, far west
and south. All of these though. asseru-

cities, are managed from the main office
