This study Of Hinduism is. in large
part, an exposure of the revolving aims
and >mercenary plans of large body
of proselyting Asiatics operating in
Europe and America. To show. how
ever. in what respects the cult as it
fourishes in the west has departed
from its original form and meaning.
and to make clear also the inappli-
cability of oriental life and thought
to the conditions Of the west, Miss Reed
makes a compact summary and con-
trast of the various forms of East In
dian philosophy and religion from
Brahmanism through Buddhism and
Hinduism to the modern Krishna wor-
ship, herself a student of Indian
literature, this writer supports her
statements and claims by such .authori-
ties as Max Muller and Sir Monier
Monier- Williams. The international
side of the book Is. however, secondary
to its main purpose of making an open
and clear exposure of the false fanati-

EXACTLY half of the time fixed for
IL the Corcoran Gallery's exhibition
has passed. 1t will close three weeks
from tomorrow. Excellent opportunity
has been given during the past week
to observe in nature effects Of snow
and to compare them with the varied
interpretations of the several artists
represented in this exhibition.
The snow picture has become quite a
feature Of all cotemporary exhibitions
Indeed some artists even make a spe-
cialty Of it. painting little else-as, for
example, Edward w. Redield and w.
represented in the Corcoran Gallerys
transient collection. A few years ago
Mr.. Redfield was considered a rather
daring painter. painting more broadly
than others. striving more obviously
for effects rather than finish. Perhaps
he has become more conservative as
time has passed, perhaps some of the
the race: certainly at the present time
and in the present collection he seems
quite conservative-in fact, really staid
and steady. The snow he now paints
apparently is no longer kicked up or
deeply furrowed, the shadows across it
are no longer violently colorful, nor is
the sunlight binding. The facts are
there, but SO also is the spirit of the
scene-a bit of poetry, a little reserve.
:: j:
THERE are other interesting snow
pictures, one by Gardner Symons,
who is another of our foremost painters
today, and one of the most successful,
finding equal appreciation among his
confreres and with the public. There
is another by Rosen in quite different
style, which won a prize at the Car
negie Institutes international exhibit
ton last April William Wendt shows
the towering mountains of California
snow covered, and Allen Cochran gives
a graphic picture of snow in the woods,
as does also John F. Carlson. Robert
H. Nisbet, in his picture entitled "The
Robe Of Cold" shows the flakes flying.
and e. A. Webster, in two of his four
paintings, pictures foliage heavily
ladened with masses of new fallen
snow-snow of the wet, clinging kind.
Perhaps Of all the snow pictures Mr..
Webster's are the most dazzling and
realistic, but this is not of necessity
to say that they are the truest. Each

The Tower of London.

| A great stone pile. with turrets, PIN
nacles, bastions, battlements and cas-
tellated walls. surrounded by a moat
and capped by a bell tower, this famous
prison seems more like a bit of stage
setting than Il reality. 1t is hard to
realize that men and women were once
thrown into those frigid dungeons to
die, Or their thumbs crushed in the
ugly machines, which are still pre-
served for the edification of the trav
eler. 1t is still harder to realize that
men once inhabited the heavy iron
armor suits in the museum. and tried
to smash one another's boilerplated
heads with broadsmwordS and battle
axes. All of this massive impedimenta
is still there, but it takes a robust
imagination to picture it in action. The
neat London boobies, standing on
guard, and the unassorted crowd of
gaping tourists, with their penny guide
books, are the only real things in the
place. Everything else looks like the
discarded properties of a theatrical
company doing Shakespeares histor-
ical plays.
In the Wakefield Tower you can see
all of the crown jewels. that were once
stolen and fought for. now neatly

over $1,000 for the relief of the suf-
fering Belgians. This is an exceedingly
large sum when it is considered that
no picture in the exhibition was priced
at more than 500 and that the ma
jority were of extremely moderate cost.
1t goes to show that the public is ready
to buy pictures provided the price
comes within it's means. and also signi-
f1es the instructive generosity of the
artists.
Every picture shown in this exhibit

and the proceeds of the sale thus repre-

AS quickly as one picture would be
sold another would be given in it's place
by the same artist, and not in single
instance has a gift been grudgingly
made. In more ways than one this ex-
hibition has been splendidly successful.
Not only will it profit the Belgians,
whose pitiful state very naturally
awakens sympathy and induces self
sacrifice, but those also who CO.
operated so admirably toward it's sue

people who bought, and thus came for

crowded. One cannot see the forest

the book just as very thorough
knowledge of the situation shaped the
humor.
LANDMARKS. By E. V. Lucas. author
of The Open Road" etc. New
York: The Macmillan Company.
Mr.. Lucas achieves a charming story
here by the seemingly simple process
of selecting from the life of his hero
those experiences that stand out more
or less boldly as waymarks along his
road from little boy to grown man.
Rudd Sergison. the subject of this
chronicle, is just the usual boy, no
more, no less. And people, as a rule,
appear to think that the usual boy
has no real story material anywhere
about him. But this is simply because
there is no Mr.. Lucas. or another of
his kind, to go along and set down
in a way of his own the amazing and
interesting things that can go on in a
boys life when, from the outside, there
seems to be nothing at all happening.

that the masculine knitters will con-

paying for the yarn. Most of them
are doing this cheerfully.
An American woman who returned
from England recently had been spend

that most of the convalescent soldiers

exhibition an excellent Interpretation

paintings. This is a representation not
of sunlight but moonlight on snow and
is really a brilliant achievement. The
snow is of excellent texture, cold.

THE death in Holland about fort
;rrl,% ID
we'll known genre painter, marks al
most the end of the modern Dutch
school of painting, kever alone. of all
that brilliant group of painters, sur
viving. This school, headed by Iraels
and including such men as Neuhuys,
Mauve, the Maris brothers and Mes
dag. made very definite and valuable
contribution to art. They found new
paths and established new and, it may
be hoped, lasting traditions. With an
overpowering past they possessed
sufficient individuality to voice new
visions.
The modern Dutch painters were in
the truest sense artists, but they en-
joyed popularity because in their paint
ings they gave expression to those
things which are elemental and in so
doing made universal appeal The
themes they selected were pictorial and
and they rendered them with con-
summate art: therefore. they have today
and will, 1t may be supposed, always
have genuine value. What they had TO
say was worth saying. and they said
it both simply and we'll. Though this
school has almost passed, it's message
will not be lost while the works of its
members remain. Blommers was not
one of the strongest of the school. but
his pictures were exceedingly charm
ing. He more often than his cotem
poraries painted figures out of doors,
and among his most attractive paint
ings are those of children on the sea-
shore-probably the beach at Sche-
veningen, which was not far from his
home. LEILA MECHLIN.

n SPECIAL meeting of the Society of

day evening in the galleries on 18th
street. wherein the exhibition for the
Belgian relief fund has been held. This
was in part to consider the disposition
of the funds received. and also to discuss
plans for the future. About forty-five
artists were in attendance and much
enthusiasm was shown over the success
of the exhibition venture. Mr.. Zolnay
urged in an excellent speech the desira-
bility of the society possessing a home, a
building of its own, where exhibitions
might be held, as well as meetings. and
where suitable studies might be had by
the artists. A committee was appointed
to look into the question and report upon
its feasibility. There were refreshments
and general goodwill and sociability.
