Margaret Donegan In Mr.. Stark
weather's portrait OF her is. outwardly,
the actual scrubwoman. as unalluring
and az unIntuential' as any slavey in
George Moore's novels. but II seems she
has an inner life that il far from or
binary.
Her son persisted in one OF those
accidents that are continually hap
pening I'm modern factories and which
are sometimes chronicled, II the cir
cumstances are exceptional. with a
line or two In the newspapers But

|. Becomes Impressed.
She related to the artist her idea
OF her sons death with so moving
a description OF his translation into
Paradise, so poignant n recital OF her
belief in her constant communion
with the dead boy. that Mr.. stark
weather became deeply impressed by
the almost total eclipse OF the phys
ical by the spiritual in the .woman's
life, and resolved to paint her por-
trait, SELLING. the moment Of her ex-
altation for II.
The result Is one Of the most re-
ligious pictures that any or our local
painters have put forth in recent
worlds great pictures. There are. in
deed, certain stylistic discrepancies
that strike one at the first glance.
Even the question OF good taste Is
brought into jeopardv. But there can
be nos denying the deep and sincere
feeling back OF the work. and sin
cere feeling Is no rare in modern
painting that many stvlistic dlscrep-
ancies can be forgiven for Its sake.
to sCoff Win remain to pray, 1t is
quite certain that the majority who
see the picture will have an in
creased respect both for Margaret
Donegan and MIR. StarlSweather.
