tie studies of contemporary and rather
cynically apprehended types. Here Is
an instance Of cleverness legitimatlzed,
of a point of view illustrated in justly
provocative manner. If this artists s
motive is sometimes little obvious, as
in his First nighters," there are other
occasions on which his satire takes him
a step or two off the beaten track.

which a plump matron stands with an
indescribably fatuous expression beside

IT is worth while TO keep an eye on Mr..
Du Bois. In his restricted sphere he is
moving about with genuine talent, and
ii is pleasant to reflect on what ne may
some day achieve If he will sit, for ex-
annie. at the feet of Daumier and try
TO develop a looser, broader touch, a
bigger sense of form. Mr.. Bellows, in
his Cliff Dwellers," is the shrewd,
svmpathetic observer that we know
him TO be, and the skilful man or his
hands: but both in light and in color
he is this time little at loss. There
is good, open air feeling in Mr.. ID. L.
Brinley's landscape, The Ford; Mr..
Kramer lures one back TO the soft tones
of his Passing Summer" and there is
some excellent tawny tone in Mr.
James Preston's Autumn" The show
as a whole is very bright and spirited.
The connoisseur of purely exquisite
painting will be interested to turn in
another room TO the latest or Mr.
Dewing's pictures, one Of his char
acteristically distinguished figures. The

yellow, is seated at a table, bowl in

work of extraordinarily subtle bloom.
The collection Of etchings by Frank
Brangwyn which is at the Kraushaar

and is in every way representative Of
this exceptional British type. He is
exceptional because he has a romantic
fervor and an amplitude in his style
far more suggestive of the South than
of the North. Brangwyn is at bottom

Illuminating, with a beautiful honesty

on his experiences and methods as

Two Memorials to Saint
Gaudens, a Book and a Museum

A little more than six years ago, on
August 3, 1907, Augustus Saint-Gau-
dens died at Windsor, VT, where he
had long made his home. Illness rad
been wearing him down for a consld-
erable period, but he had kept at MS
work and died in harness, with some or
his most important commissions just
Issuing from the studio. The statue
of Lincoln seated (Which has not yet
been unveiled in Chicago, as the ques-
tion Of site is still undecided was in
the hands of the bronze founders
who were also working on the Hanna
monument for Cleveland, unveiled
there in the following spring. The
caryatides for the Albright gallery In
Buffalo (now waiting for the erection
of the porticoes which they are 20
sdorn) were almost ready for the
marble cutters. The Whistler Me-
mortal, destined for West Point, was al
the moment being put into marble
and the sculptor was practically mn
ished with the Philips Brooks monu-
ment for Boston, the Magee monu-
ment for Pittsburg, and one or two
other commissions, including the Unit
ed States gold coins. Finally, the
two allegorical groups for the Boston
Public Library had been carried so 1ar
in rough models that the artists con-
ceptions may be said to have found

an impressive body of work. But some
purely personal memorial of the man
was needed, and, by good fortune, this
has been made doubly secure. The
autobiography which he dictated in
his last illness has been edited and

The Windsor Studios as They
Are To- day.

When Saint-Gaudens was taking up
his work on the great statue of Lin
coin for Chicago his friend Mr. c. c.
Beman urged him TO come up and stay
among the hills near Windsor, VT,
/ saying that there were plenty of Lin
coin shaped men up there" He found
the men, and presently he fell in love
with the place. That was in 1885, and
thenceforth the sculptor was estab-
lished at Aspect, as he called his home
from his fathers birthplace in France.
The "reminiscences" explain how he
little by little developed his estate, i'm
proving the house, building studios and
golf course, and altogether stamping
his individuality upon the beautiful
landscape. One of the studios was
burned in 1904, but was rebuilt The
two are we'll placed, not far from the
house. with which they make, indeed, a
charming ensemble. Shortly after the
sculptors death Mrs. Saint t-Gaudens
and her son conceived the idea of pre-
serving the studios as a permanent
memorial, believing that this would be
appropriate in itself and would also be
of some service to American art. In
the larger of the two buildings, the one
erected after the fire, there are casts
of the standing Lincoln. the Victory"
for the Sherman monument, the Puri-
tan. the Adams monument and other
works on an heroic scale. In the Lit

liked TO seclude himself. some Of the

The Society Of Illustrators is making
an exhibition in the galleries OF the
National Arts Club. 1t is full OF clever
work, and, by the same token, sets one
to thinking on the function Of clever

viduality, or is it trait by itself which
a man may cultivate as he cultivates.
say, a romantic or a classical conven-
ton? In either case, whittier does 1t
tend? Is it a profitable or dangerous
resource? The mere asking OF these
questions implies something discon-
certing in the answer. No one needs to
inquire as TO whether it is wise or not
to pursue elements in art like truth or
style Ii is only cleverness that has
anything ambiguous about 1t, and the
fact that to be clever is to be confined
pretty generally to the surface Of
things. To be clever is often TO be
very pleasing, but It is seldom TO be
more than that. This is the reflection
to which one is inevitably led by the
present exhibition. The collection Of
163 pieces wears an air Of alert eff

adroitness, but after the effect Of this

Tilton, which come with some reason
into the foreground, fall short Of per-
suading us that the illustrators are as
important in their ministrations as we
would like them to be. That facile
cleverness of theirs only thinly dis
guises, on this occasion at all events,
fundamental inconsequence. They
would seem TO be curiously dependent
upon their text. Seen as they are seen
here, apart from the book or magazine
originally illustrated, they have next to
nothing to say for themselves, fact
which, paradoxically, excites some
wonder as to whether their eloquence
could have amounted to much when as
