The work on display at the willard was
done in preparation for the. painting OF
the larger one. The only difference from
the study made by the artist In his later
work is that in the study the foot OF
Jesus Is seen resting on the shoulder OF
Mary Magdalene. while In the central
panel Of the triptych the foot rests in
Mary's hand.
The Rubens, IN which the artist has
given play to the skill In anatomical por-
trayal for which he Is famous and which
glows with the eolors OF which the older
painters were the masters, IL valued at
81, 900 and IL 90 years old. II has been In
Countess de Tonnay's family for many
generations.
The Vernet canvas, the subject of
which has its special appeal emphasized
by the cause in which II is exhibited.

parting between a knight and his family

The figure In armor, a favorite- subject
with many painters. Is skillfully con-
trasted In its coldness and strength with
the warmer flesh tones and draperies Of
the weeping wife and the baby.

adopted. The Senate bill attempts to
accomplish this end by denying the use
of the mails to those persons and ex-
changes violating the proposed regula-
tons. while the House bill uses the tax
ing power of the government to regulate
dealing in cotton futures.
