cosmopolitanism as in Charles Loring

here is the only consistent group OF
portrait painters that We have ever
had. a group of which the leaders were
John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart,
Charles Wilson Peale, Thomas Sully,
John Trumbul and Samuel Finley
Breeze Morse, whose fame as "A painter
has been too greatly overshadowed by
his invention of the telegraph.
The earliest picture displayed here,

Vinci's rendition of the subject may
have had something 70 do with the COM
position of this one. But Hesselius was
not a Da Vinci. His picture stumbles
and halts. IL is child's work. IL is
more primitive than the Primitives.
And vet this was a man apparently of
great religious fervor, humble before
his subject and truly inspired, despite
the clumsy record OF that inspiration
given by TIE central figure in it. Amer

to play with words, and to learn to
twist them artfully about messages OF

the City of New York; and so could

Washington ordered by Lord Lans-
downe. who favored the American cause,
from the end of the galleries, over

is not at his best in this representa-
ton. IL has been said of him that his
brush lost power when il had completed
the head of portrait. There is rea-
son to accept this statement in the evil
dence OF the Lansdowne portrait. The
figure is grotesquely short, the feet do
not carry the weight of the body as
they are evidently intended to, and the
gesture of the right hand and arm was

To those who sell their nerve and strength
To that most easy of the Arts,

Aided by many most uncanny implements,
Which claw and grapple, lift and lower,
Have seized a small, deserted church,
Upon whose BOSOM and comforting
Men and women laid their life-wracked heads
And asked for mercy and for help,
And for the golden gift of OPTIMISM
And that small need of charity
That gives to life its
Stone BY stone it falls,
This little humble house of God
So that its valuable space
A blatant building, cleaning white,
Shall raise its head to astonshed sky
Trumphantly above the modest steepe
Whose silver bell once called her little
To prayer.
But who shall dare say that in this Office building
Ugly, fiat of face and square,
There shall not be for all the effort of its hive
Some tender memory in the Masters mind
That shall evoke His help and sympathy
For that it stands where there stood
