not quite removes him from the cate

different ways Mr.. Arthur Crisp, the
painter of "The Curtain CALI and Mr..

give US much the same pleasure. They
are all sincerely interested in their
problems. They escape the stereotyped
note. Apropos of their mundane mo-
tive, by the way, we may record here
the entertaining presence of Mr.. Fer
nand Lungren's Partisan subject, "Au
Cafe" Painted, we gather, long time
ago, it dimly recalls the cult of Alfred
Stevens. There arc figure pieces which
are frcighted, more or less, with senti-
ment, or with some romantic idea OF a
trivial sort. High up among these we
would place Mary Green Blumenschein's

merit of the painting lies altogether
in its color and its workmanship, but
there is a welcome hint, II only hint.
of faery in the thing. Lillian GeEth's
Twilight Sonata" is also to be COM
mended for its delicately emotional at
mosphere. Her art is broadening, too
Both in her tones and in her modelling
Of form she has travelled far beyond
the rather brittle mode which she was
cultivating only few years ago.
There is little TO be said about such
capital performances as those Of Mr..
Richard +. Miller and Mr.. F. c.
Frieseke, who contribute, respectively,
"The japanese Kimono" and Cherry
Blossoms" They portray pretty mod
els, they put light and air into their
pictures, they are lightly decorative.
For Il moment we are charmed. But
how quickly the spell of such work
passes! That is the penalty paid by
cleverness. 1t is most Beguiling. so
far as it goes. But it is also mark
of limitation. The artist who has it
does not stay long in the mind. The
wish that he might do so, that he might
deepen and enrich his powers, IS con-
stantly cropping out in this exhibition.
There is so .Iuch that is. IN its ephem-
eral fashion, so good. We may cite
the sparkling canvases OF Miss Martha

but on the whole this looks like an
ordinary sketch enlarged and en-

that many statesmen believed That
to annex it would be to acquire a
staggering burden.
1t was at Champocg where small
group OF settlers gathered seventy
two years ago and with majority
of one voted that the Oregon terri
tory should become part OF tie
United States. and not Of Canada.
I'd to the time for the last set
tier of the group to vote, a tie eE-
listed, the adherents Of the |. >.
and Canada being equally divided.
The remaining voter was Xavier
Matthieu, a Frcnchman.
There was breathless suspCns2a as
Matthew stood irresolute detached
from the two groups. Then he I'm
ally walked across an open space
and took his place with those who
had voted in favor OF annexation to
the t. S.
Matthieu died a few months age

Oregon to the Union.
