"Explainins" tho lnsurssnt Art.
rChicago Record Herald.l

TChicagO RECORD heTalu.J
There are those who complain that
the critics have failed in the duty OF
interpreting cubist and futurist arr.
Some have tried, and used meaningless
or question begging phrases, Wnlie
others have pleaded for patience ana
open-mindedness. The insurgent ultra
modernists. we are told, are cropping
and crudely essaying to do something
that they feel to be right and neces-
sary but do not themselves quite clear
ly comprehend. They may have mes
saEe-give them time. The answer 10
such pleas is. Of course, that the ar
fists might have waited until tnelr
ideas had been clarified, both as TO
what the old art lacks and what the
new has come to supply.
One intelligent painter has after
mucn urgent suiicita tion. furnished US
with an Interpretation of the ne" ar.
In the first place. the cubists and fu-
turists insist on absolute sincerity;
second, they paint what they see, as
they see it: third, they care nothing
for wholes or definite parts; they Sc
lect the. features or elements that i'm
press them on canvas: they may select
color alone, or form alone, or a par
ticular tho accidental combination.
Provided they are true to their own
impressions of nature, they are true
artists. even tho no one is able literally
to make head or tail Of their produce
tons.
Here is an illustrations: The artist
sees a red roof and, at the same time
white COW. He is attra cted by these
color effects and contrasts. Instead OF
following the example of the classical
or the romantic artist. he just gives
us a bit Of the red roof and bit of
the white COW. He may put the ROOF
on the COW or the COW on the roof. ana
he may drop the walls Of the house as
well as the head and legs OF the COW.
He gives you study i'll color, and II
that be good, be grateful.
The explanation IS lucid-whethei
satisfactory or not. the interpreter did
not care to say All that poor lover
of the beautiful can venture to observe
is that he has not felt the need OF roof
COW color studies of the sort provided
and can't see what they. or other cub
list futurist masterpieces, contribute to
art. nature study or beauty. is he will
ing to wait and learn? Why. he has no
choice. While waiting, however, he Will
stubbornly enjoy the older art.

AN OUTDOOR PAsTIMe FOR WOMEN.

Many women find themselves listless
and run down in spring owing to a
long winter within doors. They need
the outdoor air and light occupation is
the open air and sunshine. No light
outdoor occupation is so we'll fitted to
supply this need as gardening. No
husband who truly loves his wife will
neglect to supply the necessary utensils,
have the garden spot plowed early and
give mis- lie companion every encour-
agement to engage in the delightful
pastime Of gardening
Most of the outdoor games are too
much walking and putting forth of
great strength in the strokes. Baseball
and tennis are especially strenuous
games Every muscle thus exercised
may be put into action in a leisurely
and less violent fashion in gardening.
II is this that makes gardening especi-
ally adapted to women and the most
excellent form OF feminine exercise.
Woman has too long neglected this
paetime. Heretofore she has taken an
interest IN the game mainly as manage
and played II from the bench She
should be encouraged to get into the
game.
The price Of wife who actually
gardens is above rubies
