BRIEF NOTES OF FINANCE.
Paragraphs OF Current interest
for the Investor.

It is a simple thing in the minds of
some people to make statements regard
less Of their authenticity. and Wall
Street and the New York Stock Ex-
change are selected by numerous indi-
viduaIs as natural objects TO be assailed
during these days of agitation and dema-
gogic reform. 1t will be interesting to
note whether Congressman George y.
Nicely. of Kansas, will exhibit spirit OF
fairness and a desire 10 set himself
right by answering W. c. Van Antwerp 8
letter and accepting his invitation t.
visit New York and investigate person
ally the conditions and rules prevailing
s1n the New York Stock Exchange. So
long as Mr.. Nicely made statements as
facts tor which authority apparently Is
not In evidence he should either produce
his authority or acknowledge his mis-
statements. There are a sufficient num-
Der Of faults IN stock market affairs as
in any other lines Of business without
adding TO the list by vivid imagination.

The Rule Of Reason.

Contrary to the attitude assumed by
some people since the currency meas
ure became q bone of contention. there
IS good reason for a change in our cur
rency system, and prior to the framing
Of the present bill there was a general
demand for introducing some measure
at this session OF Congress. Some people
on the currency question. as on the
tariff issue, were LOUD in their demands
for a new measure which would provide
elasticity, but now that the bill has
come out with several provisions that
have failed to meet the approval Of ca
pable bankers Of the country there is
talk that il was a mistake 10 introduce
any currency reform measure at this
time. Such comment is not IN keeping
with good business, as II the country
needs a more elastic currency bill than
it has had, Il certainly needs II as soon
as possible. Assuming that the inten-
tons of the trainers Of the adminstra-
ton bill are sincere. they should not be
opposed TO making changes in the pro-
posed measure to carry out the sugges-
, tons Of the ablest bankers in this cOun-
: try, who rank with the great financers
member that bankers ere citizens. tax
payers and representative business men,
and are entitled TO some say as TO how
they should conduct their business, and
should not be forced TO depend on poll
tiCians who seem willing TO act in the
capacity Of directors and general mana
gers Of other peoples money.

examples thos, ancient schools Of the
East in which the truths Of nature vera
transmogrified by sheer wizardry OF
line and color into formalized schemes
of decoration. The groups of pottery
and sculpture make perfect pendants to
the portraits and pictures Of birds,
flowers, animals and landscape which
fill most of the space. The primitive
pottery is more impressive in color than
in form. The sculpture is perhaps more
interesting than anything else in the
show. 1t typifies the fusion of a kind
of hum-drum realism with an extraor.
binary power of artistic generalization.
1t is as though these early sculptors
were ordinary men, just like their fel.
lows, when they were looking on al
life, but became nobler spirits when
they carved their figures, made free Of
strange secrets of modelling masters
of a really recondite art Of expression.
1t is pleasant to turn to these souve-

do to the fundamental simplicities Of

with all the sympathetic appreciation
in the world that we wish he had put
tiS same inspiration. the same power,
into a work having more unity, more
Vealty. Mr.. Davies is strangely per-
suasiye and haunting in his long, low
panel, Jewel-Bearing Tree of Amity.'
We do not know just what he is driv-
ing at in his allegory, but that scarcely
matters. t is the imaginative quality
of the picture that counts, the subtle
suggestion enveloping his graceful
nudes and the old word background
against which they are painted. The
mystic beauty of the thing, as Of some
early Florentine cdSSOHc piece, triumphs
over the rather dubious naTvete which
marks IS workmanship. Scattered
among all these studies Of the figure
are landscapes as individualized and as
beautiful, works by ID. w. Tryon, AL
bert p. Ryder, Clifford Beal, John f.
Carlson, Iarles II. Davis and others.
There is scarce a picture that is not
good to see for its own sake, and the
collection as a whole gives the place
a fresh, inspiriting atmosphere.

American Painting and SCulpt-
Urea Notable GOya.

The American artist is just now IN
possession of the field. His or her
works are everywhere to be seen, and
what is more, il is a pleasure to see
them. Not in a long time have we
known the galleries to give so ample
and so good an account of native tai
ent. The occasion is apt for some
merely practical reflections. Let us for
once be barefacedly commercial, and
while the familiar slogan, do your
Christmas shopping early" is again in
the air. candidly ask why the shopper
should not shop where the shopping is
artistically worth while. We cannot
all fill the stockings for which we are
responsible for priceless old masters,
and in any case there is no earthly rea-
son why we should not, for the same
purpose, patronize our own school. The
truth is that it is both provincial and
foolish to neglect it. Here are the eX-
hibitions brimming over with clever
paintings of attractive subjects, quite
practicable in scale and quite reason
able in price. Surely they make de-
lightful Christmas presents.
New-York tribune., 1913-11-23
Old Masters of the West and
the East.

The Enrich galleries. further up Fifth
avenue than they used to be, have been
very handsomely installed and re-
opened with an interesting exhibition.
This is composed Of eight or ten select
ed old masters of various schools, rang
ing from the Primitive Herri Met de
Bles to the eighteenth century Zonany.
The pedestrian art of the latter is, IN
deed. in rather sharp contrast with tle
quaint polish of the earlier master but
as it happens Zoffany on this occasion
has really a good deal to say for hlm-
self. His Portrait Group" in which
five sporting figures are brought TO-
gether. shows the old English tradition
not at its best, but still in fair estate,
and in some Of the heads Zofany
reaches his high water mark. There IS
a good Claudio Coello. Portrait OF a
Lady" interesting for its illustration OF
a blander touch than is commonly as
sociated with the period. Another well
come piece is the "Nobleman with
Dwarf" by Tintoretto, a little duller
I'm color than is usual with him, but
properly large and vigorous in its treat
ment of the two picturesque figures.
There are satisfactory examples OF
Hoppner. Pourbus, Solomon Ruysdael
and Largiiliere, and bearing itself mod
estly in the company Of far more robust
things. but making its due fine effect, Is
a charming little Portrait OF Cen
tleman" by the sixteenth century Hans
Won SchwaZ. The exhibition as whole
commands warm appreciation, but we
are almost constrained to speak at
greater length and with more fervor OF
a single portrait that is shown by Mr..
Enrich apart from this special group or
old masters. 1t is a portrait OF "El
Conde de Teba," by Goya, and we do
not exaggerate in affirming that 10
finer male portrait by the Spanish mas
ter has ever been seen in New York.
The head is a superb triumph. This
somewhat sullen young dandy is por-
trayed with a caressing touch. The
flesh tints are warm, pearly and wear
delicate bloom. The hair, a little
more freely painted, like the mouth and
the characterful ear, shows Goya again
softly controlling his impetuous brush.
In the dark costume he lets himself go
with bold, slashing strokes. but does

the central fire of a living idea,
really kindling emotion, Will break
through and make us realize that THIS
sculptor, so classical in spirit, is at
bottom an intense realist. Intense, but
never morbid. These figures of his are
wonderfully human. The playful
ness" is really playful, as playful as
figIr:ne by Clodion, and in the "Satyr
and Sleeping Nymph" Mr.. Manship
gives vent to a jet Of pure humor.
with his hands he can do anything;
the "Vase-Oriental Dancer mar
yellous bit Of decoration in relief, is
proof enough of that. But with him,
we take it, modelling is only a means
to an end Line such as ne uses could
only flow from the finger tips of a lover
of beauty, and to achieve such char
acterization and such design as he has
achieved one must have taste, intellect,
imagination. He has done much al
ready IL is exciting to think of what
he may do in the future when, pos
sibly. he enlarges his scope and tests
his powers on some grand theme. If he
succeeds i'm monumental sculpture as
he succeeds in his figurines he will
prove a great artist.

Thirty Paintings by Thirty
Artists.

If the Macbeth Gallery persists in its
recently adopted practice Of holding
mixed exhibitions it will gain the re-
pute of being a kind of miniature acad-
emy. The show there now could hard
ly be bettered. 1t is perhaps not fully
descriptive to call this a miniature
academy. The resemblance is as close
to a show of the Ten American Paint
ers. In fact. more than one member OF
that organization is present. Mr.. Childe
Hassam sends a beautiful piece of color
in his Board Cove; Appledore," and
there is a characteristic landscape,
"Maytime," by Mr.. w. i. Metcau.
"The 'Cellist." by Mr.. Joseph De Canp,
is a good illustration of his Workman
like craftsmanship. Mr.. Benson's 'Syl-
via" contains some interesting passages
and is pleasantly luminous, but the
treatment of the face, especially about
the eyes, is terribly disconcerting. Mr..
Henri sends very clever sketch OF a
child, a little hot and forced in coi0r,
but crisp in execution. Delicate tone
and q certain dainty charm distinguish
the ballet scene called "The Mirror"
by Mr.. Louis Kronberg, and Mr.. f. B.
Williams repeats in his "Fete-The
Glen" the handsome, romantic effect
which has become something Of a man
nerism with him but is still beguiling.

A Collection of Sculptures by
American Artists.

An exhibition on a rather unusual
scale is open at the establishment OF
the Gorham Company. There a long
room has been positively crowded with
works by American sculptors, most OF
them small bronzes and marbles. There
are pieces in the collection which nave
been seen before, but this is in no wise
to be regretted. They are welcome
again. Modelling of the subtle and
supersensuous order, made so popular
by Rodin, is, of course, much in evil
dence. 1t crops out in the graceful,
clever nudes OF Robert Aitken, Edith
w. Burroughs, Chester Beach and
divers others. 1t is amusing, so far as
it goes, but one turns with keener in
terest to those works which, whether
significant Of manual dexterity or not,
have a deeper, racier character. The
animal sculptors are all delightfully."-
New-York tribune., 1913-11-23

offer any detailed notes on the collec-
tion of about three hundred pieces, for
the catalogue has not been framed to
facilitate specific reference to this or
that title. Though the pictures are
numbered one must first discover the
artists name in order to make use Of
the numbers. If the committee is wise
it will get out a new catalogue before
the show closes, at the end OF the
month. Meanwhile, for the present
purpose, a general survey is, after all,
sufficient. There is nothing of special
importance here. This is called, in
fact, a sketch exhibition, and is made
up of small things. They are almost
uniformly good. The walls are COW
cred with charming little Landscapes,
brief notes Of color disclosing a real
feeling for natures sentiment, and,
over and over again, skilful technique.
The figure subjects are not particularly
ambitious, but those by Mary Greene
Rlumenschein, Mrs. A. r. Brewster,
Helen Watson Phelps and Alice Schille
are only the more engaging because of
their unpretentious and spontaneous
character. AS for the landscapes, the
list Of really meritorious contributors is
far too long TO be eXhaustiyely
traversed in this place. We must be
content to mention only few of these
interesting artists-Mathilda Browne
Mrs. Conan, Blanche Dillaye, RhOda
Holmes Nichols, Clara Weaver Parish
Jane Peterson and Mrs. L. NJ. Scott
To round out the bright, stimulating
affair, there is a little group Of sculpt'
ures, capitally modelled book ends il
bronze by Harriet w. Frishmuth, and
several sketches by Annette Saint
Gaudens which not only show ability
but have a touch of style. In short
the association abundantly justifies
itself, showing that it is full of vigor
of true artistic force. 1t deserves pop
ular success.
Apropos of this exhibition, reference
may be made to a kindred enterprise
at the Powell Gallery. The sixth an
nual exhibition of Thumb-box sketche!
has just been opened there to last un
til the middle of December. These arr

which are like leaves from an artist.
