0HE regular routine OF work IN
the local studios will be inter-
rupted to a considerable extent
by the events incident to the
inaugural exercises, but 1t
should be remembered that the in
auguration of a new President invarta-
bly brings many people to washington
who might not otherwise visit the Ma
tional Capital and yet are prepared to
take away with them impressions OF the
best the city can afford not only in the
way of festive decorations. but in per-
manent works of art Sir Alfred East,
the distinguished British artist. once said
that the impression one carried away
from a strange city was not OF its good
government or it's commercial success or
even it's social distinction. but it's art,
manifested in its architecture, sculpture
and paintings.
If this is so-and many believe that IL
is-it is we'll at such times as this to
take account of the city's wealth in this
particular direction. seeing ourselves as
the visitors may see us. and pointing out
IL we may that which is worthy OF their
thought and attention.
RIMARILY Washington has city plan
I which is pre-eminently work OF
art. This was designed by Maj. l. En-
FAINT. French engineer, in conference
with Washington and Jefferson. A
series of radial avenues is superimposed
upon a gridiron Of streets. the intersection
of which affords opportunity for fixed
openings, induce short vistas and create
what an English architect has charac-
terized as numerous sharp-aosed building
lots breaking the monotony of uniform
design. 1t is to this plan that we owe
our numerous small parks as we'll as our
more spacious park areas. which are not
yet wholly developed.

it should be remembered. is the impetus
they gave toward making this manner OF
decoration an integral part of the design
Of our great public buildings. a custom
which is bound to have far-reaching ef-
feet even outside the field of art.
NF one other great art monument cog
~ nizance should be taken by those
who would point the way. This is the
Pan-American Union. the building used
by all the South American republics
jointly, which stands on 18th street near
the entrance to Potomac Park. This
building is in itself work OF art. Amer
ican-Spanish in type, 1t Is yet well
adapted by its designers. Kelsey and
Cret, architects of Philadelphia, to pres
ent requirements and needs. 1t has
been given an almost perfect landscape
setting, its grounds having been laid out
by a distinguished landscape architect
none other than Frederick Law Olmsted
and it's interior is suitably decorated,
having in the center Of its patiolike court
a fountain Of quaint and appropriate de-
sign by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney.
THERE are some choice works in
! private collections in Washington.
but these. as a rule, are not open to the
public. Near at hand. however, In Balti-
more. there is the Walters Gallery. which
on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the
present month will continue to be opened
under very liberal restrictions to those
who may care to view the collections
assembled by the present owner and his
father.
IN an exhibition held by the Art Club
Of Boston during the last fortnight
one of our local painters. Richard N.
Brooke, has been especially well repre-
scented. The painting was entitled THE
Turn of the Tide and showed the rocky
coast OF the north shore Of Massachu-
sets. 1t was a large canvas. rich In
color, vigorous and impressive. and all
who saw 1t were agreed that II lent
color and charm to the collection, which.
it may be added, was of exceptional
merit.
THE next lecture In the course on
/ master painters which is being given
under the auspices Of the Washington
Society of the Fine Arts will be on George
1nness and will be copiously illustrated
by stereopticon slides. The date as an
nounced will be March II.

IN account of the inauguration the
~ regular monthly "Art Talk at the
Corcoran School will be postponed from
Monday, March 3, to Monday. March 10.

second annual exhibition, which will be
held in Hemicycle Hall of the Corcoran
Gallery from April T. to April %. The
exhibits are restricted to paintings In oils
and sculpture not previously exhibited in
Washington. and no works being espe-
cially invited, all must pass before jury.
The jury Of selection will comprise thlr-
teen members of the society. The jury OF
award will, however, be made up of three
persons in no wise connected with the
organization. Through the generosity or
several public-spirited citizens three
medals-one gold. one silver and one
brOnZe-Wilt be given Tor the tnTeo UeSI
pictures in the exhibitions. Honorable
mention will also be awarded. By eX-
GLIDING large exhibition pictures the hope
is that a greater number of small pic
lures o" high excellence may be set forth.
THE Washington Water Color Club will

cation for extra blanks should be made

MIR. Henderson here makes an interest
ing and original study Of the French revo-
luton by stringing cartoons upon
thread of history The cartoons, about
two hundred of them. are reproduced
from those made and sent broadcast
during the Reign of Terror. The text
is an incisive description of the events
and situations producing these Garcia
lures and satirical sketches. The TWO
together produce an effect of realism
that moves one. as ii were. into the very
turbulence and passion of these open
invectives and challenges. They GER
tainly change ones notions about this
supposedly oppressed and terrified COM
monalty. No modern metropolitan press
could be more daring and insulting than
are these broadsides of the French
against their king and all the nobility
as we'll. 1t is hard to imagine more
telling summary of the spirit of France
at this time than this pictorial progress
