The galleries Of the American Art
Association are spacious, and though
the Reisinger pictures are numerous
they have left room for another collec-
ton. that belonging to Mr.. A. W. Bahr,
which will be sold at this place on
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday after
moons Of this week. It is gathering
~ nearly six hundred pieces OF Orien-
Italia. especially notable for It's porce,,
lains. Most interesting, perhaps, IN all
the multifarious body of beautiful OBJ
iects is the large group OF Fukien hg-
vres and vases. These souvenirs OF the
Ming Dynasty have much Of the char-
acter end beauty of Chinese sculpture,
and their soft surfaces possess an ex-
traordinarv charm. The tone or pearly
vbiteness which they disclose IN cold
LIGHT is romantically heightened IN
some instances here, some specimens
heinz displayed almost theatrlcally un-
der electric rays. Next after the fukien
pieces come some glorious single color
porcelains-in fact, this part OF the
collection Is far above the average.
There are beautiful jades shown some
GOOD screens, and number OF lne rugs
and carpets. A few OF the eighteenth
century bird cages which have added a
new 10Y 10 the NOAANN~NA y 49,

on glass introduce a comparatively un-
familiar but not by any means en-

porcelains make the most distinguished
effect.
There are few arts so aristocratic as
that OF the Illuminated manuscript.
These books, made for the great ones
of the earth, are often masterpieces OF
calligraphy and painting, combined
with ali the taste of the period III
which they were manufactured. The

out from the others on account Of his
striking silhouette Of the ruins against

At the Goupil gallery are portraits
by Betty Peters and landscapes by Rich
ard Montague, two young artists grad
uated but recently from art school, and
both Of them started n the right direc-
ton. The portraits by Miss Peters are
undoubtedly excellent likencsses. but
she as yet lacks strength Of handling
and skill In the delineation OF charac-
ter. 81 the pictures Of adults that
Of Mr.. Albert b. Ashforth is the best.
In il the paint is exceptionally well
handled, and there is a soberness about
the whole thing which is altogether
pleasing. The portraits Of the two sons
of Mr.. Ashforth are charming, II con-
ventional. They are extremely good
looking children, and, dressed IN
scanty suits. one blue, one brown, With
bare arms, legs and necks and great
shocks Of hair, are placed against land
scape backgrounds. The placing Of AL
bert, IT,, on the canvas is a little un-
satisfactory. II the picture were cut
down a bit on the right, so as % cor
respond with the portrait Of his broth
er, the composition would be improved.
Mr.. Montague's landscapes are. on the
whole, agreeable His work has a GER
tain amount of strength. but would be
improved If his color were fresher. At
present it is apt to be muddy. He is a
serious painter, and has borrowed one
trick from the Modernists which stands
him IN good stead. II is the use OF an
outline about the limbs Of the trees
in some Of his pictures. This may be
seen in his excellent ION Mason's Isl
and" glimpse Of woodland which
for some reason, makes one think OF
Rousseau. "Haley's Farms In August"
is a charming little gray-green land
scape. II is we'll conceived, and pos
sesses a good deal OF atmosphere. il
has but one fault-the color Is pasty
Mr.. Montague is sober and earnest one
wonders if, in time, he viii fall into
the slough of mere cleverness wherein
so many painters OF early promise are
wont TO founder.

ALL ARE URGED TO
PARTICIPATE
People OF SkOwhegan Asked to OBJ
serve GO-tO-Sunday School Day
October Sth

Governor Oakley c. Curtis has ap-
pointed Sunday, Oct. S, as Go-to-Sun-
day School Day. Let the people of
this community, both in the village
and in the outlying districts make
their plans to heed this call. The
invitation is to young and old and to
those of every creed and denomina-
ton. It is especially designed for
those who do not regularly attend
any Sunday School. 1t is hoped that
many such will find their way to the
various Sunday School rooms in the
different churches in town, that they
may come in touch for one Sunday at
least with the work that is being
done for the young people and adults
in the way Of Bible Study and moral
and Christian instruction. The faith
ers and mothers who have neglected
this privilege are urged to come to
see their children in their work and
encourage them to take a deeper in
terest in this school that helps to
lay the foundation of upright living.
Young men and young women are
also invited for this brief noon
hour. and elderly people who
usually regard this service as
too wearisome are urged to come and
give the uplift of their countenance.
Children all come, beg your mothers
to bring the babies and let us have
a glorious rally on this Go-to-Sun-
day-School Day
