| to evolve work that is so strong that II
stands against that produced by the
men; work that can not only be com
pared favorably with the products OF
the opposi' sex, but in many cases
stands above It,"
Mr.. Alexander has long watched the
artistic development OF this country
He has had ample opportunity to com
pare our progress with the activities OF
other cities and countries. That an
American painting may be instantly
recognized in a foreign exhibition, Mr..
Alexander declares, IS enc great argu-
ment to show that American feeling IS
expressed through its art. One need
but visit the present exhibition Of the
National Academy TO be convinced that
the painters of this country are no
longer mere dilettante, for the repre-
sentative men in this profession have
ceased TO experiment IN weird ways and
have come to produce dignifcd and
splendid work.
"What may we expect from the
women Of future years? Great things!
It has taken q long time and persistent
work to awaken the people Of America
to an appreciation of the work Of their
country men and women. They are not
yet thoroughly aroused, but more are
believing in the genius Of the Ameri-
can painter than in former years.
Without the encouragement Of the peo-
rle. what can the artist do? Without
q market for his pictures, how can he
liver II is all very well to talk about
art for arts sake but how in the
name Of all that is wonderful ia a man
to paint his best when his own coun-
trymen find no merit in his products?
"The American public must support
its painters if it would have an art, and
every city needs more than anything
else q gallery where the works of the
painters and sculptors may be seen. At
the two exhibitions a year that are
given by the National Academy Of De-
sign sixteen hundred pictures are sent,
when there is not room to hang more
than three hundred. More than that
number are accepted, but must remain
unseen simply from lack of room. This
condition in city like New York is to
be deplorcd. Although this is the
largest art centre in the United States,
although our greatest painters and
sculptors congregate here, and we have
more schools, more artists, than any
ether city in the Union. still we have
no place for their pictures TO be seen"
National Art Exists in America.
"You ask me-" continued Mr.. Alexan-
der, "if America will ever have a ma
tional art She has one. The feeling
in the canvases produced by those OF
this country prove this beyond
doubt, and the influence Of foreign

on the polished dining able. The

ungainly, and are made simply for
protection, without thought for beauty

A charming innovation introduced
by one clever hostess shows oval

embroidered scallops with pretty vari-
ations, and show an artistic border de-

schools that was once so dominant in
the pictures made here Is waning. Both
men and women have seized upon the
vital points of American life and are
expressing their ideas in a virile, fresh
manner that would be impossible II
they had not achieved a feeling in
tensely one of their own environment
brought forth by the life in our cities
and surrounding country.
"This present trouble in Europe is
going to have an immense effect on the
art of America. 1t has already been
felt. We are going to produce stronger
work than ever before. There will not
be any Of the grewsomeness that war
generally brings to painting, but it will
be stronger; fippancy and frivolity
will be eliminated to a great extent.
"Why? In the first place, because
the painters and sculptors will have to
remain here for the execution of their
work There was an inkling of de-
sire to do this on the part of many be-
fore last August 1t was a steadily
growing feeling among the painters
and sculptors that their own land was
the place for them, save when trips for
a change Of surroundings wece made
Now it is compulsory that they stay at
home, and instead of chafng under the
restraint they are really welcoming the
idea.
Eyes, I have said that we have now a
national art, and with the outside in
fuences that have come in and been
exerted over the men and women of
this country it is marvellous what a
clear impression of Americanism they
have brought out in their work With
the partial elimination of these infu-
ences the American will blossom forth
in ideas and execution to an amazing
extent.

color either that which best expresses

Color Expressive of Individuality.
Color has been named the "Voice Of
Art" and, like the voice, it differs in
each individual; no two people ever
express themselves exactly in the same
way through color, as no two people
ever have precisely the same voice in

Color is personal and individual, and
by its thoughtful use many things may

A well furnished room combines and
contrasts the warm and cold colors, the
cold generally serving as a background
against which the warmer tones are

stronger, either in color or decoration,

accounts for the we'll deserved popu-

setting for pictures, besides displaying
the furnishings Of the room to the best
advantage. Do not forget, however,
that the entire room is itself only a
background for the social life which
1t contains, and the scheme of decora-
tion must be subordinated to that idea.
The occupants of room are more i'm

A DAINTY sandwich with piquant
N and appetizing filing will tempt
the appetite as nothing else
will, and the fortunate hostess that
can regale her guests with original
delicacies Of this nature Is sure TO
prove a popular entertainer. As ex-
amples Of novel sandwiches the fol-
lowing are suggested:
Fruit Sandwiches.
Chop twelve dates and add twelve
marshmallows cut into strips, one small
eupful Of chopped nut meats. two ia
blespoonfuls Of minced Maraschino
cherries. half a teaspoonful OF lemon
Juice, and powdered sugar 10 taste.

spread between thinly buttered slices
Of whole wheat bread. Remove the
crusts and cut into neat oblongs.
Lettuce and Cucumber Sandwiches.

tuce Rub the yolks Of two hard boiled
eggs until creamy; mix with two table
spoonfuls of grated cucumber few
drops of onion Juice, light sprinkling
Of salt and mayonnaise to moisten.

use as a filing between alternate slices
Of brown and white bread that have
been spread with softened butter.
Stamp into circles and arrange on
doily-eovered sandwich tray Garnished
with eress.
Dutch Sandwiches.
Use thin slices Of rye bread. Spread
one side with liverwurst, the other with
a cheese paste mixed with French mus
tard and place thin slices Of Bermuda
onion in between. Press the halves Of
the sandwiches together and serve i'm
mediately. as the delicate favor Of the
onion deteriorates If allowed to stand.
These are particularly good to serve
with coffee.
Crushed Strawberry Sandwiches.
Crush half a pint Of ripe strawber-
ries and add half a pint Of favored
gelatine that is just about to jen. Mix
well, fold in sugar to taste and three
tablespoonfuls of stifFiy whipped cream.

baking powder biscuits that have been
split open and spread with butter.
Peanut Butter Sandwiches.
Use the square graham biscuits or
crackers for these dainty sandwiches.
Spread between them peanut butter
that Is seasoned with one Tablespoonful
Of mayonnaise dressing to each cupful
Of butter, one-half a tablespoonful OF
minced dill pickle and six stoned and
chopped olives. These sandwiches
should be made just previous TO serv-

stand
Cream Cheese Sandwiches.
Mince one small white onion and mix
with a small cream cheese that has
been rubbed 10 a paste. Run two sweet
cucumber pickles through the meat
grinder and add them to the cheese
and onion, with two tablespoonfuls Of
chopped pimentoes. Spread between
buttered slices of Boston brown bread.
These furnish a very delectable supper

Marmalade Cream Sandwiches.
These sandwiches arc very simple to
make, and they are also one OF the best
varieties to serve with the afternoon

room may be said to be successful
when no one tone springs out to strike
the eye before the rest of the room is
perceived; a perfect balance of color
is restful, while spots which distract
the mind are not.
II intense color is TO be used it must
be confined to very small areas, bal
snced by larger areas Of much less
intensity; and, as color emphasizes
form, the objects thus perceived must
be beautiful in line, and Interestingly
placed.
The interest OF a room centres in
the lower part, about the level OF the
eye, which renders absurd any atten-
tion drawn, by means OF highly col
ored frieze or ornament, to the upper
portion Of the walls.
Blend Opposir Colors.
Complementary or opposing colors
should never be used together in their
full intensity; a pure blue and a pure
orange have no relationship as they
stand, but if they are neutralized,
which means that a portion Of the
orange dye is mixed into the blue and
some Of the blue into the orange, there
results two softly beautiful tones which
are entirely harmonious.
Attention has often been called 10
the vivid coloring and strong contrasts
of nature, where against the bluest Of
skies the intense red. yellow and green
of the autumn trees blend so beauti-
fully. II is true that the atmosphere,
bathing all these colors in its light,
seems TO create, especially where the
magic Of distance is added, a harmony
Of colors which within doors would
never be tolerated.
Black and White Delicately Handled.
The contrast Of black and white as
a scheme Of decoration, with one rather
decided color tone, is an effective one,
but requires careful handling. It is
suitable only for a small room, and
the furniture, if black, must be OF fine
