picture Of no subject.
Giorgiones influence upon Titan and
others was decisive for two reasons. In
the first place he was man OF genius
and had the enkindling, dominating
power Of the type. Secondly, he appealed
10 the deepest instincts OF the Vene-
tians, to all that was sensuous in them,
TO all that set their hearts upon the joys
Of the visible world. The school had It's
sublimities. We find these In the Ma
donnas of Giovanni Belllnl and in some
of the great religious pictures Of Titan.
Tintoretto, in the decorations for the
Scuola di San Rocco, especially in the
vast "Crucifixion" and I'm the unforget-
table Christ Before Plate" dramati-
caly affirmed the fact that the ways Of
the spirit were not unknown to the
school. But that school was in essence
a mundane organization. 1t dreamed

languorous cast. The pride of the flesh

realistic and luxurious spirit we may

down to those in the eighteenth century,
Tiepolo. Guardi and Longhi, in whose
lovely works the last jets Of Venetian
energy are disclosed.
Mrs. Phillips never loses sight OF the
leading motive in Venetian art, but
neither does she fail 10 observe IL In

judicious appreciation, of insight into
those qualities Of color and Of design, of
execution and Of style, which carried the
Venetians to true greatness. She brings

In 1890 Crispi wrote to Lord Salisbury
on the subject Of France in Tunis and
her approach toward Tripoli pointing
out to him that 1t was to the interest OF
both their countries in the Mediter-
ranean to forestaf the republic by an
italian occupation Of the latter coun-
try. Salisbury's reply was q model OF
diplomatic discretion. He agreed with
CrispPs view, declared that France must
be stopped should she venture further,
but expressed the firm conviction that
such an event was far off indeed. Con-
tinuing the British statesman said:
The political interests Of Great Britain as
well as those of Italy cannot allow Tripoli

event becomes Imminent, II must be pro-
vided against But Frcnce has long
