Late Sir Alfred East Studied and
Understood Old Masters.
naciat Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF 1ue otar.
LONDON, October 4, 1913.
The late Sir Alfred East, whose death
will no doubt set the critics once again
debating on the almost eternal question,
what is great art?" was. like Roger
Fry, one of . the few modern creative
artists who seriously studied and under
stood the painting of the old masters. He
was, particularly in his later works,
greatly under the influence OF the Bar
bizon painters, chiefly Corot and
Daubigny, and found emotional express
sion in landscape painting, the works
of his last period bearing that faint
sentimental feeling which in portrait
lre makes Raeburn so popular. Sir Al
fred was a discriminating lover of liter
ature, and confessed to the writer that
one of his favorite books which he fire.
auently reread was Rossettis exquisite
Hand and Soul"
He also delighted in the romantic
fiction of Mr.. Hardy. A west-end art
dealer today remarked that it was curious
that the figure compositions of Sir Alfred
were not better known. 'They are, he
said much finer than his landscapes.
''Will his work last in the popular
sense?
who can tell?" was the reply. You
never know the public, especially the
public that is interested in art. They are,

CHARITY SOCIETY TO
 BE ORGANIZED MONDAY

Much interest is manifested in char itable circles in the meeting which is to be held in the breakfast room of the Stratfield at eight o'clock next Monday ngiht when the Charity or ganfzation society will be formally or ganized.
 It Is expected at this meeting that the board of directors, representing the active workers in the various charitable institutions in the city will be elected and that the board will immediately elect it's officers for the coming year.
 The formation of the Charity Or ganization society is the result of an investigation made sometime ago by Maurice Willows, who presented plans for it's formation to a group of inter ested workers. The Charity Organiza- ton, society will be a central body through the various other organiza- tions and will be able to work to far better advantage and with greater eff ficiency
 The idea is not in any way to dis turb the organizations as they are now constituted but in order to avoid duplicity on the part of those seeking charity, and a precaution to the charitable institutions themselves, 1t has been deemed expedient and ad- visaIbIe to form this central organiza- tion.

WARNING ISSUED
 AGAINST RISKS OF
 CHRISTMAS TREES

Owing to the increasing tendency to decorate the home, the church, the theater, and the store in anticipation of Christmas, and in an endeavor to minimize the risk of fire and life, Ed ward Mooney, chief engineer of the To- cal fire department today issued the following recommendations. He also pointed out the peculiar risk taken by those who adorn themselves in Santa Claus attire unless the fabric used is properly fire proofed.
 The lighting of Christmas trees by other than electric bulbs is consider ed unsafe.
 If there is no electricity available the head of the fire department rec ommends that no light whatsoever. be used, or the greatest care taken with candles.
 That the cotton trimmed coats and whiskers of Santa Claus be freproofed by the immersion in phosphate of am monia and water before using is an other instructive and interesting pre- caution urged by the veteran fire fighter.

 New Haven began the day with a loss of 5-S. It made up it's decline and then fell back to below the open ing quotation. Canadian Pacific was again weak, losing nearly two points. Mexican Petroleum lost a point, but the preferred, on a cash sale, rose six points.
 The whole market eased off after half an hours trading.

Among the things that should be done and the dont's which are appro- priate for the season are the follow ing:
 The Christmas tree burning candles should not be left unguarded for 9 mo- ment and several buckets of water should be in a handy position in case of emergency. In schools, churches or halls, where children and adults are gathered, the utmost precaution should be taken. Exits should be clearly marked and besides a suitable floor covering of metal to catch drippings from candles and fre-extin guishers should be supplied for instant use.
 Christmas trees shouId not be trim med with cotton or paper batting un- less dipped in a f1reproof solution. Green trees should be selected rather than one well dried. A soft rug or blanket to smother incipient blazes should be handy. In the event of fire upon a person the first thing to be done is to throw the person upon the floor. The flames will then be kept from rising to the face or penetrating the lungs.
 The next step is to wrap him in rugs or blankets and keep the air from pentrating the folds. The flames will be eXtinguished.
 It is recommended by the veteran fire fighter that in stores, both ex- tinguishers and water or sand be kept conveniently located so that it may be seen and readily used in case of fire starting Boxes, bundles or decora- tions should not obscure the view of these fire extinguishers.
 Store windows should be allowed ventilation to prevent spontaneous onbustion, and every available m cans taken to fire-proof anything likely to become inflammabIe.
