Between the two he finds his place,
manifesting here and there the quail
ties of one or the other. :.
the works of his fellow Pennsylvanians,
but, on the other hand, his spring land
scapes bring to mind the paintings or
Murphy and Bruce Crane because OF their
gentle sentiment. There is an intimacy
about his interpretations which gives
them appeal and insures permanency OF
interest. The landscape he transcribes,
whether it be winter. spring or autumn.
has a beguiling quality, restfulness
which can be better felt than described.
Even in painting such a picture as After
the Blizzard a picture of his own home
buried deep in snow, 1t is not the rigor
OF winter, the biting cold, which is en-
phasized. but the softness, the spotless-
ness of the mantle spread over the earth
and the warm caress of the soft winter
sunlight. 1t is this personal note. this
intimate, reticent quality which makes
these pictures of kind over which to
linger and with which to live. Such pic
lures, though they be not great, satisfy
a demand, and without intrusion.
1t Is hard to explain why a great hill,
almost bare save of grass, should make
a pleasing picture, yet in more than one
instance this Is the theme that Mr..
Young has beautifully transcribed. He

men were concerned, and the case was
reversed, so that only female persons
were entitled to these rights after such
tampering with the original paper. It
lis just as questionable In blndlng all
women to limited citizenship.
Different duties require representation.
The normal work Of women in the mass
es has never been represented, because
portant work as women perform In the
home and out Of the home needs repre-
sentation in common fairness by women
themselves. Women are not asking TO
speak for men, but to defend themselves
where men have not defended them.
They desire to have the ballot because 1t
is the nearest thing to weapon or de-
Tense that human governments have de-
vised. They need it in their homes ana
in their business as much as men do.
To go on denying right so important,
especially as it has been proven to the
satisfaction of SO many persons that
wherever 1t is in force and granted 10
women only good has come of It, and not
some recognized betterment, and to keep
the wisest and best women at disad-
vantage in every way before the growing
youth of the country, who should ne look-
ing up to and yielding measure OF re-
spect to their own mothers which they
will never feel SO long as the government
and laws of the country discriminate
against those mothers and ef1ectuaily
show that they do not desire their dlrect
influence.
If the ballot in itself cannot produce
another Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, neither
has it produced second Iincoln; but
women are grievously hampered in their
war against vice and frivolity and cold
seltishness and timid shrinking from nee
essary risk and effort by their lack or
the ballot the right productive of all
others.
Miss Jane Adams has often given tes-
timony as to this, from her own efforts,
which have been rendered futile at times
because there was no vote behind them
A man has recently accused women OF
having "abdicated their thrones They
have had no thrones to abdicate. except
i'm a very few cases. and in those cases
there was no abdication. because this
applies only to the pampered rich, Well
cared for women. who think they enjoy
life better without whatever responsible
ity the ballot might impose. And as Tor
the pedestal argument, 1t must be the
pedestal Of q martyr that more and more
women are revolving against. May 1t
not be, perhaps. a cross that women are
leaving. the cross of masculine rule, born
of egOtism?

author OF Havoc" 1.-THE Illustrious
Prince" etc. With illustrations by
Dalton Stevens. Boston: Little,

Here is a worthy successor to the IA
nous and much appreciated tales OF Sher-
lock Holmes. Mr.. Oppenheim, for a num-
Der Of years, has been writing stories ap-
pealing to the taste for the mysterious
and the melodramatic, but in his most
recent exploit he has certainly surpassed
himself. In this book he has attained the
position Of presenting a work which ap-
peals to all of the cravings for the pc
culiar class Of literature he produces
and yet which does not offend ones
sense Of the fitness of things. For a
long time there has been a demand for
books of a special character, catering to
the idea Of the mysterious and yet not
the bounds OF common sense.
sherlock Holmes certainly fulfilled both
requirements. When those stories ceased
there was a lapse Mr.. Oppenheim in

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In recent article on the rights of
women, printed in the Outlook, and in
part reproduced in The Star, Col.
Roosevelt says: II believe in wonen's
rights. / believe even more earnestly in
the performance of duty by both men

High-ninded persons of both sexes adj

rights allowed us by law, but We are
bound by duty to freely concede to each
fellow-creature, man and woman. every
right we admit to be theirs, so that they
may be unhampered in the use Of those
rights which it Is their privilege to use
or not as their Judgment or wishes may
dictate.
Is the man or woman doing his duty to
a fellow-creature when after admitting
a right to be hers he hesitates as to con-
ferring it where it belongs and tempo
rizes with pros and cons? Is 1t sufficient
reason for withholding consent to the
enfranchislng of whole sex (half Of the
people) because his immediate family
and women of the same type are dis
inclined to add SO much duty to their
lives as the right to cast their ballot
might impose, while he freely comedies

It seems to me that the first duty of

In this adventure Mr.. Frank may

This Is the plan: Out Of each of the
successive periods Of our national de-
velopment the author has selected its
most significant characters and events.
These, each in turn, he has used as the
subject OF sonnet. building up, so
to say, sonnet pageant Of America

Miff1in Company.
\ multitude of credent readers, those
whose opinions come chiefly at second
hand, have grown to despair of the honest
man and to foresee a wicked world making
immediate descent into some -Avernian
depth of retribution. This generally
mournful view of life has risen, in large
part, out of the miasma of accusative and
defamatory writing upon which class
of modern publications subsists. One is
tired of it-sick to death Of this scourge
of pharisaic self-eXploitation. in masque-
rade as moral hygienics. A high merit
refreshing point, of the book in hand
is that it is of quite another sort. One
settles into 1t happily, glad to meet again
one of the dim inshing class of genial,
hearty, hopeful writer's. Practical obser-
walton of men of affairs, large expert
ence, much reading and more reflection
have not shut the eyes of this author to
the existence of smiling fields wherein
men and women. according to their best
gifts, are doing big human things to help
the brotherhood along. loose sheaf of
papers makes up this book. These stand
in single bond through their general
everyday tests of tone, and their com non
unslakable conviction that this world is
the best sort of world for the human to
journey in, and that, on the whole. he Is
making a creditable matter of the pas,

about certain men who, having travelled

cd taking the place Of pure transparent
wash. And yet when such men as Sar-
gent and Whistler made resort to water
colors it was to follow the dictates of no
school, but to adapt 1t as they themselves
saw fit to the eXigencies of the theme
which created the occasion. Water color
painting is by no means trivial, nor is 1t
less to be esteemed than work in oils, yet
as a rule it does not command high
prices. Excellent pictures in this medium
can be obtained from SO to $3.50, which
puts them within the reach of many. The
day has come when the collector Of oil
paintings by even celebrated cotempo-
rary artists must be a person of large
means. but fortunately water colors and
etchings are still obtainable by the mod
est picture lover. The Water Color
Clubs exhibition promises to be an excel
lent and engaging little display, Well de-
serving of attention and patronage.

lery of Art on Thursday, is
specially It ira tive. Mr.
Young's manner is pleasing and his in
terpretations of landscape almost in
variably have charm. His home is in
Pennsylvania, at Jenkintown. and the
majority of his themes have been found
in the same locality as that in which
for a number of years Redfield and
Schofield have painted. One will recog-
nize in No. "a of the catalogue Of this
exhibition the same covered bridge
which was seen last week in Mr.. Scho-

one of Mr.. Young's biographers de-
clares that he was a pioneer in the
field of snow painting. his first cam
vases. exhibited in the early nineties
being pictures Of the snow-clad land
scape in the vicinity Of Philadelphia
or in the more picturesque and varied
surrounding Of Gettysburg, his native
town. Be that as it may. and un-
doubtedly it is the fact, Mr.. Young
has gained proficiency in rendering
this particular theme. He is not as
virile q painter as either Schofield or
Redfield; his pictures do not make as
impressive a showing in a big exhi-
bition, but they are more poetic and
quite as sincere. Overloadin% a canvas

Young does not delight in surface fin

but neither does he ignore beauty of
texture as do the realists most often.
