THE Washington Water Color Club
will hold it's annual exhibition in
the Corcoran Gallery of Art from
March % to April 6. This is always
an event of interest, but promises even
greater interest this year than COM

sured. Works intended for this exhi-
bition will be received at the Corcoran
gallery the 10Th of March.
Following the Water Color CLUB exhl-

the past few years this has been restrict

been sent out to artists in other cities to
participate and already favorable an

In May will come the annual exhibition
of the Capital Camera Club. which has
always been of sound worth. but last

THE Corcoran Gallery's notable exhibit
ton of contemporary American
paintings closes tomorrow afternoon. and
from Monday until February S the build
ing will be closed. During this fortnight
the temporary exhibition will be taken
down and the permanent. collection re-
placed. To the permanent collection the
canvases purchased from this exhibition
will be added. Unless perhaps the Met
ropolitan Museum of New York is ex-
in which will be found so comprehensive
and good a collection of American paint
ings as the Corcoran gallery in this city.
Long before any other museum gave
any heed to the collection of American
works Mr.. COrcOran had made purchases,
and from its inception this gallery. which
bears his name, has been liberal and
persistent patron of American art Fur
thermOre its purchases have almost in
variably been discriminating, with the re-
suit that it's collection is of increasing as
well as permanent worth. 1t was inter-
esting and instructive to see the current
output of the American studios. but it
will be gratifying to return to the older
canvases which through months and years
Of familiarity have proved their sterling
worth. 1t has lately been said by an
eminent critic that we Americans I'M
progressive in our art. in proof Of which
it was stated that we keep on liking the
same things that We liked twenty years
ago. Doubtless this is true. but for
tunately some of the things of SO long
ago-such, for instance, as Inness Sun
light in the Woods" and Wyants Land
scape''-are really very worth liking, If
we are not quite mistaken in our stand
ard. The fact Is the old stand we'll with
the new, and because some fresh avenues
have been opened the old ones are none
the less alluring. We can look forward
with interest and still look back with
satisfaction.

reopens until the last Of May there

War of 1872 Pensions.

TT is more than "a hundred years since
the war Of 1872 broke out, and almost
a hundred years since the treaty OF
Client. which ended 1t. Few people know
whatit was fought about, and rarely does
any one. except4the pedagogue who drives
it into the history class, think anything
about 1t.
Yet there is one branch OF Uncle Sam
business at Washington that keeps il
ever in mind. the pension bureau. Though
a century has elapsed since that war, the
government is still paying pensions on its
account. There are about two hundred
pensioners on the rolls for the war Of
1912. and they diminish at the rate of
about twenty a year. so that it will be a
full decade before We are quit Of that
national embroglio. If precedent is any
guide. however. the end will not really
come for full thirty years yet. for 1t was
only year before last that the last PEN
sion was paid on account OF the revolu-
tiOnary war.

THE Smithsonian Institution has recent
l ly received as a gift large collection
'of paintings Of flowers by Miss Adelis
Gates, who died about a year ago. This
collection. numbering more than 800 sub.
jects, is unique and peculiarly interest
ing. The flowers are painted rather as
botanical specimens than pictorial themes
but they are exquisitely and gracefully
rendered and should well serve as studies
for design. as we'll as for scientific pur-
poses. In making these studies Miss
Gates spent many years Of her life and
travelled in many lands. among which may
be named Iceland, Greece and Egypt. In
style they are somewhat similar to the
flower studies made by the late Walter
Paris. though perhaps less elaborate. The
collection was given to the Smithsonian
Institute by Miss Gates niece, Miss Flea
nor G. Lewis.
TWENTY pictures belonging to the
private collection of J. Pierpont
WHICH nave DeeH IOF some years
in his London residence at Princes Gate,
are now on exhibition in the Metro

the most famous Of these is the Virgin
and Child, Enthroned With Saints" by
Raphael, which was originally ordered
by the nuns of the Convent of ST
Anthony of Padua, at Perugia, in which
city it was painted over four hundred
years ago. One art critic has referred
to this picture "the most important
ever brought to America and the
curator of paintings of the metropolitan
Museum declares it to be ''one Of the
two or three greatest that have come
on the market within a generation
