hibition in review. note viii be made OF
excellent little pictures by such well
known painters Miss Gabrielle ID.
Clements and Miss Ellen Day Hale,
who are working together here this
winter and have for some years shared
a summer studio at Rockport: Miss
Marion Howard, F. Carl Smith, who
has sent one OF his characteristic Dutch
genres: De Lancy Gill, Wells NJ. Sawyer
and Alice E. Willoughby.
From out of town a few pictures have
come. but not many. Alice Worthing-
ton Ball and S. Edwin Whiteman of
Baltimore have made contributions. The
place of honor at the end of the gal
lery has been given to d city picture
by Alison Skinner Clark of New York.
There are two landscapes by William
r. Derrick, who, is represented in the
Evans National Gallery collection, and
two sketches by William Ritschel,
whose California sea pictures have at
tracted much attention in recent years.

Here is a writer who creeps into the

valley, of wood and stream and plain.
1t is, rather, taken up together and
sensed as a personality, with moods of
the morning and evening. with laugh
ter and sunlight and tears of rain.
with strange messages of whispering
leaves and running waters. And these
places. usually rare out-of-the-Way cor
ners of the world. step bodily into her
stories, forming warm and colorful
background for some simple straight
line of purely human action and in
terest. Cornwall and Provence are the
settings for one and another of the
eight stories of this volume. The men
and women with whom Miss Jesse deals
are also of big pattern, people of prim-
tive passions in the main. only slight
ly overlaid with conventionalities of
thought and habit. They love and hate
straight. in the true instinct of nature.
And they are as real as life itself.
Finely true stories of human nature
set in an atmosphere of beautiful ar
tistry.

IN the National Arts Club, New York,
at present there is an exhibition of
artistic printing. This exhibition is
shown under the auspices of the Insti-
tute of Graphic Arts, and comprises
cial printing. 1t is purposed to show
that printing is an art and that in spite
of the introduction of the mechanical

Interesting examples are shown of

Ut is reported that Mrs. Whitney has
completed the proposed Titanic me-
mortal and that it is soon to be erected
in Potomac Park. 1t is described as a
statue of man. heroic in size, standing

it will be remembered. is the sculptor

It is very gratifying that his work
should find such tangible appreciation
in his home city, an appreciation which
it we'll deserves.
THE Grant Monument. which has
been in course of erection for years
in the Botanic Gardens. has reached
another step in its development. The
cavalry group has lately been com
pleted and cast and is now being put in
position. All that remains now to be
completed is the statue Of Grant. Then
the question will be the adjustment of

Henry NJ. Shrady. sculptor, and Edward
Pearce Casey, architect. AS it now
stands within the wall of the garden
its real character and imposing appear

1t has often happened that over half
the circulation of the entire class of
poetry will be given out in one day
from a collection of 800 books on the
shelves. Indeed, statistics show that for
eight months the circulation from this
special collection was 1929 volumes. A
conservative figure from the stacks is
800, making a total circulation of
4,729. which shows very decided in
crease in the demand for new poetry.
For the past two winters note has been
made of authors birthdays and deaths,
and picture bulletins were posted show
ing pictures of the authors, their fami-
lies, homes and scenes or incidents from
their writings. The catalogue OF nctlon
by title and subject is a most useful IN
novation. enabling readers to locate
their own books.
The branch libraries of the Public
Library. or stations as they are prop
erly called. are stili in their infancy
and must remain so. through a lack or
funds to carry them on and to pay
trained assistants. At present several
of them are. being conducted by the
voluntary work of the assistants in the
circulating department. There is sta
tion in the United States geological
survey. another at Alliance House,
where many books in Yiddish reach
people who cannot read English: a sta
ton in the Washington Railway Re-
lief Association. stations in the Friend
ship, Neighborhood and Noel houses,
one at the colored social settlement.
one at the Y. M. c. A. and several in the
high schools. A station in a depart
ment store is conducted by the nurse
there. and is we'll patronized by the
employees. whose time is SO limited that
a trip to the main library is difficult.
Indeed, these stations reach many
people who would otherwise be unable
to obtain books. There is a great need
for more of them in the outlying sub
urban districts. One little boy has
walked regularly from Anacostia to the
Public Library for his books.
Evening star., 1916-04-09

In the settlement stations cook books
are very popular, and several requests
have been made for books that teach
how to dust and wash. In general these
libraries are patronized by children,
who not only draw out books for them
selves. but for their relatives as we'll.
Nearly every little boy or girl leaves,
the evening when the libraries are
opened. with an armful of books.
Miss Ftnney tells humorous and pa
thetic stories of these youngsters some
of whom are of the poorest families in
the city. One little boy complained be-
cause he couldn't draw out as many
books as he wanted to. But l read
them. every one" he declared 1t was
suggested that probably he was read
ing too much.
His little face grew solemn and his
eyes'big behind his glasses. That s
what father said. He said I'd have to
stop coming to the library. but l told
him that couldn't be DONE" he an
nounced. 1t is a requirement that the
father sign a registration card. and in
several instances the parent was un-
able to sign in English.

Another Good Record.

Our attention has been called

other young fellow in the Hayti

is Robert Greedy, the eldest son
of Mrs. Louise Greedy.
He is now ready and is pro.
NOTED to the seventh grade, and
in the seven years of his school
work in Hayti he only missed
two weeks during the entire
time, and this was while he was
in the fourth grade and caused
by severe illness, and during
this time has never been tardy.
We are glad to tell our readers
and the general public about the
record of our boys and girls in
their school work. Nothing can
speak better for them than good
attendance at school.
If there are others, let US hear
from them.

Mr.. Oliver is a young man, full

him for the office, and pledges to
the people that if nominated and
