r N describing the "Salome' Of Henri
Rcgnault which has just been
presented to the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art. Bryson Burroughs
takes refuge in the prose Of Theophile
Gautier. who was among the warmcst
OF the French painters admirers. In
the Bulletin Mr.. Burroughs quotes
from Gautier:
'The event Of the Salon Is the
sealome.' Have you never in
summer entered a room with the
blinds drawn 30 that the obscurity
would bring freshness? All is bathed
In sleeping shadow where the forms
are lost and the colors blend together.
However. q ray of sunlight has slipped
In by a crack and throws its sharp
light on q picture hung against the
wall At this magical contact the pic
ture takes on a strange intensity OF
life; 1t sparkles. 1t shines, It melts into
the light and almost dazz.es one. In
the gallery In which 1t is exhibited
the 'Salome' OF NJ. Resnault produces
this effect. 1t Is long since a
work Of this value has been shown at
the Salon. and when one thinks Of NJ.

Villa Medici one questions what such

u. s. UNFAIR TO WOMEN,
SUFFRAGISTS CHARGE
Demand Equality with Men in
Civil Service

Washington, Nov. ia vigorous
protest against alleged discrimination
by the Federal government against
women applicants in filing civil SER
vice positions was presented to Presi-
dent Wilson to-day by the National
Board Of the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association.
Resolutions passed by the national
suffrage board were sent TO the White
House and also TO the heads of all Of
the Federal departments and to all
women's organizations in each state.
In the preamble the association as
serts that since September &, 1915,
among 120 appointments and thirty
three transfers to clerical positions in
the War Department only one woman
was included, although it does not ap-
pear that the positions were such that
sex would have affected efficiency or
suitability. 1t charges further that the
civil service registers revealed no dis
proportion of qualified women.
The fact that equal pay Is not given
for equal work to the women en-
ployed as stenographers under civil
service Is also pointed out, and the de-
mand is made that women be admitted
to the civil service and promoted upon
the same terms as men.
Discrimination is also shown, ac-
cording to the suffragists, in the fact
that women are not admitted to the
special civil service examinations for
stenographers and typewriters now be-
ing held monthly in 400 cities. and are
excluded from many other examine
lions which they are competent to take.
