A Line of Cleavage.

NHIEF JUSTICE TANEY'S decis-

Out of the question in law. IL seemed,

How the fact was to be settled the

Connck delighted with the chance OF work
ing in color and by means of medium that gave
freedom to the play OF light. He perceived
that light the most important factor in his
problems. The old masters convi inccd him
that he right. They never tried to obscure the
color, make it pale sickly. They weren't
afraid of it. They knew the art of blending, of
making the coors sing. Moreover, they rccog
nzed the limitations OF stained glass and they
wisely kept within the boundaries. They knew
better than to compete with painting
In sense, their work like that of the mural
decorators, and their attitude toward color
somewhat like that of the modern imprcssionsts.
In the opinion of Connick, the most of the
modern stained glass men seriously erred when
they lost their of their crafts limitations
Their devotion to pictorial expression lead them
to avoid, in far they could, the blank lead
lines that gave setting to the color and that
helped to make the different colors glow like jew
els. They made the pieces OF glass large that
tn heir work tended to disntegrate. They used opal
escent glass, made by mixing color with a sicky
medium neutralizing the effect The best glass
according to Connicks idea, secured for the
American market, came from England. 1t was
like the glass used by the old masters. 1t was
first brought into in the eleventh century. " no
deserved credit for its early manufacture
knew The finest glass was blown and given a
cylinder shape by rolling it lightly a bench

A New Master.
by JOHN ID. HARRY.

During the past year those who had the good
fortune to visit the Panama Pacific Exposition had
an education in color. At the exposition, jules
Cuerin demonstrated what great factor color
was in the creation of beauty and what mistake
it was for us to let the material aspects of life
take drab appearance. Charles J. Connck,
OF Boston, where he is called the BurneJ Jones Of
America" is also preaching the gospel of color
by means of an art that is not appreciated in this
country it should be and that is to be ap-
preciated more and more as we advance in aesthet-
ic understanding Mr.. Connick, who visited the
exposition in its closing days, gladly acknowledged
that Guerin's colors were beautiful; but to him all
colors are beautiful. His attitude is like Walt
Whitmans large humanity He has exclusions.
Last January Connick sent examples of his
glass making to be shown in the exposition. They
were hidden away in obscure places, and some of
his admirers searched for them in vain. But the
art experts who made the awards had the skill to
recognize genius when they found it. They award
ed Connick gold medal.
The Washington herald., 1916-02-01

The perfect stained glass window, according to
Connick, resembles the old Flemish tapestries One
reason why much of the modern work fails is
because the artists too much paint. The ideal
way is to paint, not in flat masses, which dcaden
the luminous quality OF the glass, making it stupid
and uninteresting, but in little spots. The old mas
tiers were always feeling for luminosity and the
play of color. They discovered the radiation of
color the power Of one color other colors.
ITS for the worker in stained glass to discover
the fundamental truths OF color the old masters
knew"

in school studying his lessons under teachers he
was taking much harder lessons in the stern uni
