But the bithest of those old devotees
of artifce were equally enamoured OF
the truth. 1t is this, rs well as their
prodigious technique, that accounts for
their present vitality. Take their re-
port of French society as you please,
as eulogium or indictment, and its eX-
actitude is beyond cayil. These en-
cravings are hence invaluable in the
workshop of the historian, but we be-
gan by glancing at the elements in
them which make for beauty, and on
that phase of the subject we may close.
They are probably the most decorative
prints that were ever made. English
portraiture. especially Of women. in
the mezzo-tints of the period, makes y
robler appeal; its atmosphere is grayer
statelier. But in friendly, spirited charm
there is nothing quite comparable 10
the eighteenth century French en-
craving. 1t brings into the room the
witty note of feminine coquetry at the
topmost pitch of mundane sophistlca-
ton, the simmer of rich silks, the
flash of precious stones-all the Joy OF
life at a magical though decadent ana
ominous moment in the worlds history.

in its presence. But one cannot help

alluded. but II is important to remem-
Der that his visual resources were I'M
mensely strengthened by merely human
sympathy. He had fund of sentiment,
as had that other graphic historian OF
Paris, his contemporary, Louis Bodily.
The fact is-and the student must
be on his guard against forgetting it
that the eighteenth century artist, de-
spite his subsection to the fashionable
world and his persistent exaltation of
it. was at bottom a realist. How could
he have been otherwise in that mate
rialistic age. The humble subject, to
be sure, was left to the few who cared
for it, notably TO Chardin, whose
sedate art is represented in Mr.. Halsey
