A Tour of the Fine Arts
Palace at the San
Francisco Fair.
THE TRAITS OF SOME
LEADING FIGURES
How a Good Collection Might
Have Been Improved
by Sitting.
BY ROYAL CORTISSOZ.

The value OF the art collection as
sembled at the Fair in San Francisco
is not to be determined ofThand, nor
is Il 20 be stated in a phrase. 1t is,
no doubt, a simple matter to walk
through the galleries and TO decide on
emerging from them whether one has
been wholly delighted or not, whether
one has found the exhibition a bril-
liant success or something quite diff
ferent. But the question at issue is
really more complicated than that. II
is complicated by the fact that one
must reckon here with two points of
view. Perhaps by dint of explaining
these. and applying the tests they in
volve, we may best arrive at a true
Characterization of the whole affair.
The visitor from the East, supplied
at home with endless exhibitions, is a
little disappointed in his first impress
sion. lie Is acquainted with the WORK
Of practically every artist represented,
and he finds room after room filled with
things he has seen before As they are
not all masterpieces he would have 10

few fresh sensations. Obviously, how
ever this ls not q point TO bring
against the artists ar the exhibition,

scription, not in criticism. What is
fairly 10 be deprecated is the inclusion
of too many of these old familiar
pictures, too many it, we have regard
10 their intrinsic qualities. Let US

Although one may hoose almost
any shape in hats, the progress of the
season has given precedence to GER
tain types. Hats inspired by the Puri-
tan model are many and smart. Small
high-crowned shapes with narrow
curving brims followed naturally in
the wake of the Puritan, and have
been developed into brilliant millin-
cry, combining rich brocades or vel
vets, in covering the shape. with fur
in narrow bands outlining the brim
edge and crown. The small turban
has blossomed out in wintry materials
velvet and fur and other rich stuffs)
in styles more varied than ever and
is the acme of dash and grace.
Trimming remains simple, either
for these chic small hats or in the
wider-brimmed shapes. And it seems
that every n strives for novelty in
1t. Either the flower or feather must
be something new and strange-and
beautiful-or it must be oddly placed.
An example of this is shown in two
views of a dress hat which are given
in the photographs reproduced here.
This model is made of velvet
shirred in n circular piece, to cover
the upper brim and side crown. The
top crown is a small scant puff of the
velvet, and the underbrim has a plair
velvet facing. The shape lifts to g
point at the front and flares upward
at the back, where the brim widens

The outdoor garments made for
small lads and lasses in the winter
time are first designed for warmth.
This essential is taken are of and
after that they achieve what meas
ure of grace and style the material
and the seasons modes will allow.
Overcoats for the small boy are cut
a little shorter than in previous sea-
sons, of very heavy close-woven wool
ems. Dark blue is a favorite color for
them. but there are many dark mix
lures, indistinct checks and a few
crossbars. They are double breasted,
with ample collars that may be rolled
up about the neck and ears. A very
good model is that shown in the pic
ture, which provides large but incon-
spicuous patch pockets for the con
venience of the most appreciative of
all possessors of pockets.
A coy coat for a little girl, with
cap to match, is pictured, with collar
and cuffs Of plush. 1t is made of a
heavy w~ool-knitted material and is
soft and a ri The stitched belt,
shaped to include pockets, reflects a
popular treatment of the belt in coats
for older girls. With cap to match,
which may be pulled down over the
ears, a trim, smart outfit makes the
youngster look as comfortable as she
feels.
For the little miss who has arrived
at the dignity of going out to parties,
pretty coats are made and childish
furs are designed to REINFORCE them.
White Iceland fox and other inexpen-
sive white furs r prettiest for the
little girl. The next best choice for
her are the little gray squirrel sets.
There r several other furs suited
to children, and all of them are in

The width across the back is greatly
ancentuated by a drapery of velvet
lined with soft satin, which has the
appearance of a high bow.
Very odd satin and silver peoples
are set over the drapery at the back,
and one single blossom brightens the
brim at the front.
In passing, it may be noticed that
millinery blossoms are very brilliant,
made mostly of silk or satin of bright
luster, and without %pretense to be-
ing faithful copies OF their proto-
types.
In the picture a wide-brimmed shape
is shown with a round crown. 1t is
covered with hatter's plush. A fringe
of ostrich feathers is set about the
edge on both the upper and under
brim, and a fan, of ostrich fibers also
is posed against the crown, complet
ing the adornment.
Millinery generally is characterized
by better style this season than in the
past. Women insist upon simplicity
in trimmings, and this results from
an advance in good taste. Good work
manship is another feature which tells
the same story.

SALADS roo LITTLE USED
Really They Should Be Given a Very
Prominent Place In Meals Served
to the Family.

Salads are capable Of infinite va
riety, so when fish and cheese fail
vegetables which approach animal
foods in nutrition may be served, n
either the oil in the dressing or the
fat in the cream or melted butter OF
a boiled dressing be depended upon
to supply the necessary oil. Try a
corr salad. A pound of this vege-
table contains as much protein as is
found in half a pound of lamb chops
or half a dozen eggs. Cool freshly
boiled corn, also some rice (dried in
the oven until the grains separately,
salt slightly and mix them in equal
quantities, fold In some stiff mayon-
naise and serve very cold in lettuce
cups. Beans. peas and %lentils. which
are all so rich in protein, are very
desirable for salads in place of neat.
Cover two cups of cold baked beans
with French dressing and let stand
a half hour; drain, sprinkle with half
a t%easpoonful of onion juice, mix with
cream dressing, arrange on lettuce
leaves and garnish with parsley and
har1-cooked eggs. Lentils combined
with onions, peppers and parsley, and
served on cress with French dressing,
make a hearty and tasty salad.
A fruit salad has the added ad-
vantage of being very healthlul, for
nearly all fruits hold acids and salts
in solution which are cooling to the
blood, and there are so many fruits
available that none needs to become
tiresome. Pears, as a salad possibility
once tried. will appear often this way:
Peel large pears, halve them, remove
the cores and drop them into cold wa.
ter in which is a tablespoonful of vine.
gar to keep them white. Fill the core
cavity with either grated cheese or
cream cheese balls and serve on let.
tuce with French dressing. Purple
esq plums nay be used instead OF
pears, with lemon Juice substituted for
vinegar in the dressing. The stone
cavity of peaches filled with chopped
nuts and arranged on lettuce with
mayonnaise is very tasty. A pretty
salad can be made from watermelon OF
cantaloupe by s%cooping out with a large
spoon pieces from the ripest parts
draining. chilling and serving in let
tuce cups with French dressing. Wher
mayonnaise is used with fruits, leave
out the mustard and pepper put in I
little sugar and use lemon instead o
vinegar always. In no cas- should
boiled acid dressing be used with frui
salad.

Beggars beseeched me for coins
along the route and once in a while a
boy would throw a flower into my lap
and then trot along for some distance
begging for a coin. The first stop was
at the Maligakande Buddhist temple. |

| was met by a man in long, white robe
and several bright little boys, each of
whom was e~xpectantly awaiting a tip.
| started to enter the temple when the
man informed me in broken English
that | must take off my shoes. I-
stantly a boy was down untying my
shoes and when they were off | en-
tered the holy place. In the first Don
was an image of Buddha. 1t is about
twenty-five feet long and in a reclining
position. Upon the walls of this and
other rooms of the temple are paint
ings representing various phases of
the religion. From the temple ] was
escorted to another building that is

brary. 1t was a stuffy, ill-smelling
room where | was shown ancient en-
blems and relics and shelves of books.
There are motor cars to be had for
hire in Colombo, but the favorite way
of riding is in a man-pulled rickshaw
or in a little cart which is pulled by
what is known as a racing hackery."
This animal is a little bullock that
travels about twelve miles an hour.
The rickshaw men have wonderful en-
durance. They are quick to discover,
however, whether their passenger is a
hard master. | found this out when |

gin loafing on his job. Unless | kept
