Japan and the far east. is being held by
Yamanaka & Co. OF New York, Boston
and London in a temporary gallery on
Connecticut avenue near N street. These
works of art, which are both valuable
and pleasing. are shown in the true
oriental fashion, not in too great profu-
sion.
The prints. which are in every instance
in an excellent state Of preservation. are
by the foremost print makers-Utamaro,
Hoksai. Toyokuni, Hroshige and others.
Apparently they have been priced and
beautifully kept, for they do not, as so
often is the case, show the ravages Of
time, misuse or neglect. They are most
excellent examples. And of no less in
Korean pottery. Of Chinese porcelains, of
jade and bronze, which in color and form
seem for some reason impossible to re-
produce or initiate. This exhibition is
open to the public.

A exhibition Of paintings by American
women was recently held at the
American Students Club in Paris. Two
prizes were offered by Mrs. whitelaw
Reid for the best two paintings, and
news has just reached this city that the
first was won by a Baltimorean, Miss
Grace H. Turnbull, who is spending a
year abroad. but is well known here.
The judges were Lucien Simon, Rene
Prinet and Georges Devallieres, and the
decision was unanimous. The subject of
the painting thus honored was a peasant
mother holding her little child Of ten or
twelve months on her arm. the little,
tired head resting on her shoulder. The
exhibition. according to the Paris critics,
was the best that has been held for sew
eral years. LEILA MECHLIN.

THE EVENING STORY.
THE DRESSMAKER.
Copyright, 1914. by ". werner)


Hester Hill was fitting a frock for Miss
Lee. 1t was Of pale blue satin. She
stood perfectly still, studying her own
reflection in the cheval glass. Inciden-
tally she was aware OF Hesters, espe-
cialiy when Hester rose to her feet to
correct some error she had discovered
at the waist line.
Why, We are just the same size," Miss
Lee exclaimed. Look in the glass, Hes
ter. One might think we were twins
Hester looked and smiled sadly. Miss
Lee was fair and she was dark. Miss
Lee was the beauty of her set, and
Hester had always thought herself ex-
ceedingly plain. Miss Lee was an heiress
and Hester was just Hester Hill, who
belonged to nobody at all and went out
sewing by the day. True, she was
something Of a success in her way, else
Miss Lee would not have hired her.
The pale blue satin was for dinner
at which Miss Lee wished to wear some
thing fresh and not too elaborate. 1t
was. indeed, just the kind of gown Hes
ter would have liked for herself pro
vided she had time to dress herself with
an eye to anything save utility. Hester
wore black and often had to wear her
frocks until they were very shabby, for
there was always her board to be paid
at Mrs. Curren's, and she got only 81 80
day, with her luncheon thrown in.
Perhaps Miss Lee thought OF this very
thing. for she said now quite suddenly !:
You ought not be doing this, Hester.
Haven't you any plans for the future?"
A chill, faint pink showed on Hester's
cheeks. NO. i haven't any plans" she
replied. Il just live from day to day."
She waited moment. And then it's
none too easy"
You dear!" said Miss Lee. II can
believe that. But, Hester, one Of these
days when it's none too easy to live
Prince Charming will appear"
Hester smiled and shook her head.
Princes aren't looking for sewing girls.

Hester made a quick movement that
sent the needle into her thumb. The pain
steadied her. ''Oh. can't Co." she said.

Hester hung her head She could not
tell him that she had no dress to wear:
Jimmy got up and walked twice around
| the room. Then he came back to her
smiling. Il came all the way out here
to take you. II can't go with you I
shan't go at all. I care Just that much,
Hester"
Hester looked up at him bravely. Il
haven't anything to wear" she whis-
pered-
At that instant Mrs. Barr mercifully
entered. Shs straightway sent Jimmy out
of the room.
Hester did not see him again that day.
She thought he was angry or disguised
miserable in her life. At last had come

could not take that chance. and all for

through the rain with heart as heavy as
lead. crawled up to her little room under
the caves, opened the door and Stun
bled in.
There she paused. Upon her bureau
stood a great bunch Of 5acqueminot roses.
She gave little cry and ran toward
them. then she saw something else on
the bed-a shimmering length Of blue
satin that she slowly recognized. A note
was pinned to it. And the note said in
Miss Lees lovely handwriting: Dear
Hester, I want to see you at the dance
tonight wearing this frock."
Hester turned to the roses. Another
note lay beside them. Jimmy had writ
ten this and it read:
It hope you like Jack roses, Hester.

Ten minutes later anybody who had
looked into that room would have thought
its occupant crazy. For Hester was
dancing lightly about hugging long
stemmed rose to her bosom with tears in
her eyes and the laughter Of a great,
blessed joy on her lips.

Mrs. Barr was pleased when she saw
the shimmering folds Of black messaline.
She would never in the world have bought
such a dress for herself. but since it had
cost her nothing she was charmed. She
told Hester to put away the brocade until
another time and to begin on the messa-
line.
That afternoon Jimmy sat much Of the
time in company with his mother and
Hester and superintended the cutting and
the planning of the new dress. Hester
thanked her stars when she found that
she had made no mistake.

gagged, been diverted into the channels
of esthetics-the landscape, mists, sun
shine, sunsets and moonrises. have
exerted much stronger influence upon
our limited p1cture-loving public than
portraiture in any of Its departments.
And yet despite all this some portraits
have been produced which stand very
high in the scale of art-that scale
regulated by the opinion OF many sue
cessive generations.
Cecilia Beaux. who is admirably repre-
sented in this exhibition by full
length seated portrait Of an elderly lady
in a white satin gown, is to be counted
with the foremost portrait painters Of
the world: John w. Alexander's portrait
of Walt Whitman in the permanent col
lection of the Metropolitan Museum is
justly to be considered a great work of
art-his portrait of DR.. Humphreys in

of seeing them. Joseph de Camp Of
amples of cotemporary portraiture. as
have also Irving Wiles, Louis Belts.
Lydia Field Emmett and Ellen Emmett
Rand. Robert Vonnoh may be counted
others. And there are the younger men,
Bellows and Luks and Johansen, to
name just few, who are so constantly
making advance. Luks shows a portrait
which attracted much attention when
exhibited in New York. Johansen is
represented by a portrait of a young
man with his horse and dog, and by q

Whistlers Mother or in that Of
Velasquez. it does not matter so long
as the main thing is there-personality.
individuality, so expressed that 1t
carries conviction.
1t Is particularly interesting to have
good examples Of portraiture shown here,
for probably more money has been spent
by the government upon official portraits
than for any other branch of art, save

GENERAL additions have been made
