single suggestion in the matter of
subject, unless ia partie en- bateau,"
Of 1898, is more reminiscent Of the big
Manet displayed here last year than
we think it is. That "Partie en- ba
teau," in any case, reveals a decorative
power and a reserve that we had not
suspected her Of possessing. Men are
infrequcnt in her world. The silhou-
cite Of one in this canvas helps to
accentuate her interest in the mother
and child that occupy the stern Of the
boat, without wanting solidity and
reality. The expanse of water, the long
strip Of distant shore, Che languid con-
tent of the infant, whose head is
thrown back OF its mothers arm, are
recorded with a fidelity that the taste
Of the painter tempers.
She is an optimist. In this world
Of mothers and children there are few
tragedies. The color Of it is joyous
without being blatant. There are silks
and satins Of textures that vie in
smoothness with the skin Of children.
Sometimes, as i'm the "Jeune femme
cueillant un fruit" and the Femme IL
SAINT dams un jardin," there are gay
dresses Of lowered materials that give
an animation which the line often
lacks. The painter most times would
seem 10 20 ahead coolly disseminating
the facts in lines drawn with an entire
absence Of fire, Of force; rounded lines
and forms in which the most needed
element is one Of variety The color.

time of a dlettante, rather than the
serious task of patriot? 1t was an
artist, Aman-Jean, who cheered him on.
"L'heure est a Delacroixl" he exclaimed,
end the book got itself written-not
only an 1sthetic analysis, but trlb-
ute to a man embodying the spirit of
French liberty. Delacroix, Of all the
painters of 1890. is the type Of that
genius which prevails in the France Of
to-day, an artist Of ideas and magma
ton. as well as of prodigious skill. So
the appearance Of this book is an omen,
q sign Of the unquenchable vitality Of
French art and intelligence. With the
battle still raging, a Frcnchman makes
this disinterested appeal to the things
Of the mind How significant is the
gesture. What perfect answer 1t
offers to German "kultur'!
People talk about the probable effects
Of the war upon art, and there have
been the inevitable speculations as 70

Il has been surmised that the modern

We imagine that the foundations Of

I'm the strict sense-the men who have

ments Of simplicity and tenderness.
Modern French art has never been so

so poignant a touch. so fine dignity.
as it has been developing during this
war. Va recall. from among a thou
sand examples, a page in "L'Illustra-
ton" depicting a poiiu at confessional
in a ruined church within sound Of the
guns, the priest before whom he kneels
being himself a soldier. An obvious
motive, perhaps, and one strongly tinet-
ured by the literary o. sentimental IN

to detest But we re;all that illustra-
tion as Inmistakably a work Of art a

We have feeling that IL is going to
be different, after the war.

The Philharmonic Orchestra

The prospectus for next seasons con-
certs of the Philharmonic Society has
been issued. It's features are very like
those which marked the season recent
ly closed. There will be twelve Thurs
day evening concerts, sixteen Friday
afternoon meetings. at twelve OF which,
no doubt, the programmes of the pre-
ceding evening will be repeated. These
are the affairs which correspond with
the old subscription concerts TO which
the society used 20 coninc itself In
addition, there will be four Saturday
evening and twelve Sunday afternoon
concerts, making forty-four concerts in
the Borough Of Manhattan Though no
mention is made of the fact, the pros
pectus being a local one. there viii nat
urally be a series Of concerts also in
the Borough of Brooklyn.
Mr. Stransky, whose contract was re-
Gently extended for three years, will
enter upon his seventh year Of service
with the society. Three concerts Of the
music Of Beethoven and Brahms will
be included IN the regular subscription
series. At these concerts the Oratorio
Society viii assist, and Beethoven's
Symphony with chorus will be one OF
the features. Engagements have been
made with the following solo per-
formers: Josef Holman, Joan Manen,
Pablo Casals, Carl Friedberg, Percy
Granger, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Louis
Graveure, Julia Culp and Guiomar No
vaes. Attention is called in the pros
pectus to the fact that in response TO
the requests Of its patrons and sub
scrbers the Philharmonic gave fifteen
Of its regular subscription concerts
without soloists last season." and that
a similar policy would be pursued next
year.
Apropos Of this, it may be profitable
and interesting to read the following
comment of the New Music Review"
for May:
There are many who believe that an
orchestral concert is more dignihed If
only orchestral pieces are played.
There is this exception: when a solo
violin or violoncello or piano is prac-
tcally an instrument in ensemble.
The appearance of a celebrated singer
is certainly disturbing. The audience
lidgets through the opening orchestral
piece. The women are interested as
much in her costume as in her singing
The concerto crosen BY a fiddler or
pianist is not always in harmony with
the general scheme Of the programme
In nine. cases out of ten there is a
disturbing sense of aggressive person
ality.
But the great public clamors for So
loists Managers must have at least
one eye on the box Office. In all prob
ability the receipts of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra would fall off greatly
in its own city if no distinguished SOLO
lists were announced for coming sea-
son.

The Vain Fury of the Hun

Il is in pure, wanton destruction
that the Hun has excellcd. He began
his crimes against art with the con-
fagration at Louvain. Then came the
bestial violation OF the cathedral at
Rheims, projected with insensate malice
at the beginning and periodically re-
vived ever since with the same stupid
meanness. Only the other day came
news Of more shells flung into the city,
with further damage 20 the church.
Probably this exercise of dull spite viii

tcau, with characteristic futility, as the
event showed, in d military sense, but
doubtless to the qualification Of his
feeling OF hatred for thing OF mere
beauty. That is all that Coucy was
a great monument of the historic past,
a majestic ruin. But the Hun passed
that way, and so it had to 90. We won

Old friend, | sometimes wonder whether
You think as / so often do,
OF those long days of golden weather
When we drove far our slight canoe
And trod the forest ways together.
When in the luminous noontide, seated
Beside some wooded shore remote
That Hiawatha might have greeted,
We harked the white-throat's lonely note
OF yearning cvermore repeated.
Or when the waveets round US FLASHING
Through the brief, solemn northern night,
We heard the muSu near US crashing,
Or marveled at the auroral light
In glory to the zenith flashing.

Who proTered us their simple fare
Are camping i'm a land Of strangers,
And with the solfsame frolic air
Daily confront a thousand dangers.

5. R. BRINCKLE, LAST
OF FAMILY, DIES
Deceased Was Daughter of
Late Rev. Samuel
c. Brinckle
ACTIVE FOR YEARS
IN CHURCH WORK

The death OF Miss Susan Rumsey
Binckle, on Saturday. at her home. No
PAP West Seventeenth street, ends the
Brinckle household which for so many
years was a part Of the life Of the
older families Of Wilmington. Tic fam
lily home, Gibraltar, whose hospitality
was so well known IN past times, was
built by Miss Brlncklos uncle, John
Brinckle, in 1910, and there for sixty
i've years the three Misses Brinckle
made their homes, and were increas-
ingly prominent in all good works.
Their father. the Rev. s. C.. Brlnckle,
was the first rector OF Christ Church,
and his daughters were identified with
all the parish work.
The Brinckle estate included the land
from Mount Salem Lane to Woodlawn
avenue, which has since been built up
as the Highlands. Many OF the older
residents OF the neighborhood can re-
member the orchards where the chill
dren were so often allowed 10 come and
pick the fruit for themselves.
In later years the surviving sisters,
Miss Elizabeth and Miss Susan, became
interested in Emmanuel Church. In
countless ways for years, they helped
the lowly and needy with a personal
sympathy which was unfailing, and
were greatly beloved in that part Of
IS the city. They removed from Glbral-
tar a few years ago to the home on
Seventeenth street. Lately. on account
OF falling health and the inflrmlties Of
age, Miss Susan has been much with
drawn from her former activities. Her
sister, Miss Elizabeth Brinckle, died
only about six months ago. and since
that time her health has been slowly
but surely falling.
She is survived by the family OF her
brother, the late Colonel John r..
Brinckle, and by her ne/sew, William
n. Brinckle.
