1.-THE LUCKY BLUEBIRDS"

Briefly, Maeterlinck's story
of THE Bluebird" is as fol-
lows, Two peasant children
are sent by their good fairy to
seek out the Bluebird (mean-
ing Happiness or Good For
tune.) With them go their
dog and cat, also the elements,
fire, water, light, etc, all OF
whom are represented as hav-
ing souls, and some assisting,
some hindering the search.
Their quest takes them to
Fairy Land, to The Land of
Memory, to The Palace of
Night, to The Kingdom of the
Past, to The Kingdom Of the
Future and through other
weird and beautiful scenes.
The Bluebird seems almost
within their reach many times,
but they finally return to
their h o m e S unsuccessful.
Abandoning the search, they
do a kind and thoughtful act
for a little crippled companion,
and 10, the Bluebird is with
them in their own humble cot
tage.

the ''Bluebird jewelry" in
hat pins, brooches, scarf pins,
waist sets, etc. 1t appealed

full in trice Of practical affairs and

1t was Interesting To note, by the way.
That while his remarks on one painting
or another revealed no prediction for
any particular school, peculiar en-
thusiasm did seem TO awaken in him
when he sat down to the miniatures
and fairly beamed over their beauties.
Merely from the way in which he
handled them it was plain that they
had favored place in his heart. MIR.

about the little portraits. recalling how
one or another of them had been Sc

in short. that it is idle even to attempt
the most summary of lists. And yet we
would hazard the speculation that there
was one sphere in which his mind re-
ceived no able and perhaps predon-
inant stimulus. II was that of the ltai-
ian Renaissance.
The many roads he traversed on MS
annual European journeys sooner or
later all led to Rome Italian art IS
forever cropping out in his collection.
He obtained an amazing body oil

which we must particularly mention
the fascinating portrait of Gicvanna

the atmosphere i'm which he chose to he

J. PierpOnt Morgan and His
Traits as a Collector.

In his role of collector Mr.. Morgan
was something of Il mystery TO the
world at large. Every one knew that
he had vast artistic possessions. and in
the very nature of things it was in
eVitable that a wide publicity should
have followed many of his transactions
The cables were always busy with his
campaigns among the purchasable art
treasures of Europe. Some one was al
WAYS sure TO let us know what they
had cost him. But it was never Mr.
Morgan who had anything TO say on
these subjects and his friends, if they
happened To be in the secret of any Of
his doings were wont to respect his
reticent habit. Others who were i'm a
position 90 talk about his policy as a
collector. if we may so describe il, were
taught to keep their own counsel
There is a pretty legend of one agent
whose loquacity was summary
quenched 10y Geographic message
more picturesqucly tersc than polite,
The upshot of all this was that the per-
sonality of J. Pierpont Morgan rs Il col
lector remained practically unknown,
and we make no preteuce of giving a
full and conclusive account Of il to-
day. AS was noted in this place last
December, when the special exhibition
of thirty of his pictures was opened at
the Metropolitan Museum. The precise
range and Significant" of his different
tastes could only be set forth by one of
his intimates and advisers. like Mr..
Fitz-Henry. who, 10y a pathetic coinci-
dcnce died but a very short time
before the decease of his old friend
But no one could play the part that MIR.
Morgan played i'm the accumulation of
works of art without exposing here and
there some of his methods, and the

bringing an incongruous note into the
scheme. They turned. instead. To the
stlIc of Piutoricchio. the one master ol
the Renaissance who was bound 10
come 10 mind. His inspiration had
been caught 10y Mr. n. Siddons Now
bray when he was decorating the beau
uml library o. the University club for
Mckim. and Mr.. Morgan, mounting To
the scaffolds there. SAW how well the
American artist was equipped To de- just
what hc wanted Nhereupon Mr..
Mowbray and Mr. j. W. Finn tackled
the ceiling IN the collectors library and
fcicitously rounded out Mckim's ltal-
ianatc conception. II was unqucstion-
ably the genius of Mckim that was
thus expressed, but there too, we be-
lieVe Mr. Morgans taste found itself.
He had shown his feeling for Italy in
divers ways. He had been one of the
kcencst supporters of that American
academy at Rome which Mckim had
cherished as his dearest dream and
had worked for with infectious zeal.
When he had at last made for himself
the space of quietudc and beauty that
he wanted among his books il was one
expressive i'm its every detail Of the
spirit of the Renaissance. Surely this
could not have been due To any acct
dent of circumstance. The whole ar
tistic character of the library must
have had its origin in strong prcdilec-
ton.
