ALICE BARBER STEVENS AT HOME

1t is not easy to determine
exactly what constitutes the
special charm of Alice Barber
S,evens' pictures. Whether it
be a certain sweet humaness of
touch that makes the men and
women and little children of the
story-teller's imagination live for
US again in renewed vividness,
or whether the matter is merely
one of the right knowledge of
form and color, and of the right
use of outline, light and shade,
it is enough to know that the
result is JOY to all who see and
love Mrs. Stevens pictures.
Perhaps some solution sof the
question of the origin of her
sane and fresh reasonableness
Of method may come from the
artist herself when she insists,
a. she does, that the big things
of her life were, first her mar
riage to the fellow-student and
illustrator who is her companion
in work as in all other affairs in
life, and then the coming of her
son. She lives true life as JOY
fully as she paints and draws it,
and the deep heart of it all goes
into her work. There is, too, a
very womanlY appeal in Mrs
Stevens description of the order
of her days, and. after hearing
it, it is easy to feel that she also,
for all her talent. is home-taunt-
ed like the rest of us.
Among other intimate interests
of which Mrs. Stevens often
speaks is the wonder of her
garden. She tells of her plea
sure in its beauty on this, or
that, or the other one of the
golden days that sprinkle the
year from end to end. But, ="
she says, ''in busy hours there
is scant time for looking" She
tells also, in the simplest way.
