ing room sat the young and charming

A base and uncalled for curiosity

Silhouette and PAINTING.

The art of painting begins inevi-
tably with drawing-with expression
by means of the point: the result-line.
This every teacher and academy real
ICES and has to realize. More. every
great school of painting has evolved
from it. But this use of the point or
drawing soon reaches its limitations,
and the brush demands mass. or per-
haps it is more correct to say that mass
demands the brush. The floating of
masses on to canvas or paper. with its
edges holding the outline of the form.
is silhouette. silhouette. in other
words, is the basis of all mass impress
sions. Without a sense of silhouette
we can utter no large and sublime
moods. Yet. strange to say. the small
part given to silhouette in the teaching
of the art of painting in academies
indeed. more often the utter lack OF
it-has always struck me as extraor-
binary. - Hadane Macfall in L. P.'s

loves to have a good time and doesn't
care about work. The girls he has
always gone with up to the time he
met me were girls who danced
and were always kissing the boys.
