The dramatic instinct is common to all
children. Every child is, in fact, po-
tential dramatist and actor. If properly
directed or IL permitted development this
tendency is an important factor in the
wholesome entertaining and. in fact, the
education of the child. In this volume
are given suggestions for. children plays,
not necessarily serious performances 10
be rendered before audiences, but natural
play games with hints at costuming and
stage setting. There Is an especial local
interest i'm this in view of the opening in
this city of ''house of play" for chill

SONNY BOYS DAY AT THE zoo.
Verses by Ella Bentley Arthur; IL
Illustrated with photographs by stan
ley Clisby Arthur. New York: the
Century Company.
This is the story, told in verse, of how
Sonny Boy went to the Zoo and what
he saw there. The verses are clever and
can easily be memorized by children. But
most entertaining perhaps are the pic
lures, showing Sonny Boy standing before
the cages, and even intimately commun-
| ing with the creatures of the Zoo. The
| frontispiece, presenting Sonny Boy hand
! in hand with a chimpanzee crossing the
| lawn, is enough to win the heaft or every
| one who opens the volume.

mans. Mr. Cox is as delightful as ever

dying a natural death in oblivion. Oc-
casionally one passes and an acquisition
is made or a commission given. In art
matters, however, our national legislative
body is not supposedly astute and though
the government spends vast sums on
buildings and other works in the design
ing Of which art is chief factor it has
not taken cogniZance of art as a ma
tional asset nor as an instrument of
education To be sure the tariff lately
has been removed on art, which is a
large step forward. but this end was only
gained after long and hard fought
battle.
AS indicative of the mystery which en-
shrouds the subject OF art at the Capt.
| tot. joint resolution, introduced into the
Senate on the 18th of last month, may
be cited. 1t reads as follows: Resolved
| by the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyes of the United States of America
| in Congress assembled. That the statue
| of President Washington. now located in
| the Capitol grounds, east of the Capitol,
be, and the same is hereby, presented to
the Smithsonian Institution. to aid that
institution in its efforts TO establish a
national gallery of art in the city of
Washington"
Curiously enough, the statue of Wash
ington to which this resolution refers was
removed from the Capitol grounds, to the
east of the Capitol, several years ago,
and placed in the Smithsonian Institution,
where it Is now to be seen. And further
more, according to ruling of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Column
bia in 1906 National Gallery has long
since been established under the custody
of the Smithsonian Institution 1t is true,
however, that this is about the first sug-
gestion officially given that Congress
should aid in the esta Adjustment of a Ma
tional Gallery of Art, and I'm that light it
is encouraging.
Up TO the present time the National
Gallery collections have been built up
solely by private gifts. These have, how

is there that Mr.. Holmes has for a num-
Der of years found most Of the themes
for his water colors. Here. near at hand
are meadows and trees, a running brook,
a fine old mill and, best of all, a great
sweep of sky. to the east. the north, the
south and the west Thus it will be seen
are supplied all the elements for pictorial
composition, and all that is needed is the
knowledge of art and the discerning eye
of the artist. Both of these Mr.. Holmes
possesses. He has consummate skill not
only in the handling of his chosen me-
dunn, water colors, but in composition
and the rendition of desired effect. His
pictures as rule are complete renderings
rather than fragmentary suggestions; they
have pictorial quality and finish. And
yet his eatment is very fresh and vital.
Some subjects he treats broadly, others
with a crispness and decision which is
more than clever.
During the past summer Mr.. Holmes
has painted number OF pictures whicn
will stand with the best he has produced.

to be hoped that later In the year an ex-

genuine and discriminating lover of art.
This gift, coming from New York and
from one who has not had local associa-
tons, signifies widening interest in the
upbuilding of the National Gallery of Art.
0NE of those who for many years took
~ an active interest in the development
of National Museum was the late
Charles NJ. Ffoulke, who for the last
twenty years of his life resided in Wash
ington. Mr.. Ffoulke was known all over
the world as an authority on tapestries.
and his collection was one of the most
valuable in private ownership. An inter-
estins account is given by Glenn Brown,
secretary of the American Institute of
Architects, in very elaborate volume
descriptive of this collection which has
just been published for museum use, of
the way Mr.. Ffoulke became interested
in art and how he happened to purchase
the great Barberini collection.
Mr.. Ffoulke, he tells US, was a Quaker
of Pennsylvania, and was first school
master, then wooden manufacturer. Ill
health brought on by exposure on bust
ness trips to the far west caused, and
prosperity in business permitted, him to
lay aside work in 1872 and go to Europe,
where he met and married Miss Sarah
4
interest was art. With her he gained &C.
quaintance with the masterpieces of the
old world and through her some years
later he took up the study of tapestries,
of which ne eventually made an exhaust
i've study. The opportunity came to him
to see the Barberini collection in Rome,
and some of the tapestries were rare
and fine he greatly coveted their posses
sion, and, finding that the collection
could only be purchased intact bought
it, perhaps rashly. Mr.. Ffoulke, as
Mr. Brown truly says, was ever eager
to spread the knowledge and love Of art,
and did much to encourage it in this
community while president of the
National, now the Washington Society
of the Fine Arts. He was regent of
the National Academy of Art, which held
a charter from Congress, and was
strongly influential in the formation of
the American Federation of Arts. In
writing his biography Mr.. Brown has
contributed an interesting and note
worthy chapter to the history of art in
Washington.
A MONG the artists who have spent the
summer in or near Washington is
