The three were mustered out of the

As privates in this corps they received

The Manhattan men to leave yester

departed by way. of the Pennsylvania

Brooklyn's contingent totalled 9Sl

Character, Composition and Good Painting

Looking back over the multitude Of his
portraits, we recognize this solicitude
for pictorial unity as coming out in all

our present purpose, only the portraits
Of men, and, in that category, only the
set portraits, not the more casual
studies of heads, the pictorial issue, in
deed, is manifestly the one embcdying
the tes:.

which the arrangement has anything

Street studio, with Carmencita dancing
for him, the seriousness Of his devotion
to art is only matched by the Joy of his
play with il. He was perfect incarna-
tion of that much maligned element IN
modern life, temperament" That was
what made him 50 effective, so compan-
ionsble, so rich centre of energy. You
could not be with Chase and not care
for artistic things, nor could you be in
different 70 the standards he insisted
upon. His heart was magnifcently in
all that he did. Once he had this TO
say about his attitude as teacher:
"Your children in art, the students,
should receive as much of your attcn-
tion and sympathy as you can possibly
bestow upon them. They should be
thought Of b. you as your own, and, if
you want to help them to success, lend
q hand" He lived up 20 this precept.
There never was anybody quite like
Chase for lending a hand. Miss Roof
tells a droll anecdote of meeting be-
tween MIN and Bleecker Mitchell, fell
low artist, in their younger days:
Chase was in a hurry and walking
quickly. Mitchell tried TO stop him.
"Oh, Chase, Chase, wait a minute' -
What is it?" Chase called back. About

"All right, al right" Chase replied on
the wing, "I'll give it TO you next week. y
"NO, no." shrieked Mitchell across the
widening space, 81 owe it to you'll"
Translate that merely human episode
into terms Of artistic relationship and
you have Chase's most characteristic
function, his lifelong service in the
training Of young artists, in the better
ment Of American technique and taste,
in the building up Of our school of
painting as We know it to-day. Miss
Roof tells the story with an admirably
sympathetic touch, with some tendency
to hero worship, yet on the whole with
discretion. No one who knew Chase or
was ever made aware of his career and
its beneficial influence will fail to read
this book. II is precisely the memorial
of him that was needed.

Il was in a c. c. hospital twenty
kilometres behind the front. McGraw

the Royal Fusiliers-and he had Just
BEEN told that it would be necessary
20 amputate his left arm.
McGraw had thought to economic

relief and was in somewhat of q hurry
20 carry out his final duty of the day.
NcGraw was popular with his men.

that one slight chance and use the
open stretch instead of a communi-
eating trench-and zip--a sniper took
his elbow bone out as though he had
cut il away with razor.
And NcGraW was apologizing 10 the
surgeon major for the foolhardiness OF
his act.
Not a word did he utter regarding
his misfortune; not one suggestion
Of a whimper of pain-merely taking

to be wounded-when, as he said,
they need men 50 bad right now

in London training. recruits.
And then the little Scotcfman
never did learn his name. He is work

the Chemin de Fer du Midi at Toulon.
He was injured, hopelessly. during an
attack at Messines Ridge and went into

His spine had been injured so badly

Just how many years have passed
since il was rumored that Mr.. Sargent
had forsworn portraiture, or was going
20 forswear it. we do not know. But 1t
is certainly a long time since the rumor
appeared to have been confirmed by
the fact, how long may be judged from
the impression left by the portrait OF
Mr.. Rockefeller now on view. at me

siblc presentment of the subject, this
canvas strikes US also as having the
character Of a reUendnt, the ghost OF

Mr. Sargent's affairs are his own. For

Of nortraits in the last ten or fifteen

and miscellaneous subjects done IN
Spain. in the Tyrol or in other parts OF
the world. and the further sections OF

Library in Boston. The portrait painter
in him has seemed 20 be submerged
Now that he returns in that capacity
,ro find ourselves not only interested
in the particular canvas marking inc
avent. but curious to link it with the
works that made his fame. How, pre-
cisolv. IS Il related TO them? Does 1t
constitute a kind Of eliminating point
in . long progression? Does 1t suggest
that il was really time for him TO turn
,o other things? The questions bring
I'm others. concerned with the art OF
portraiture in general.
Two clements preponderate IN the
making Of portrait-character ana
composition. The artist must tell Us
something about his sitter and then he
must 30 place the latter upon the can
vas as TO make picture Of his por-
trait. a design which will interest pos
terity long after the name and history
of the person delineated have faded
into nothingness. In the establishment
OF this dual purpose a perfect equi-
librium is everything. The life OF
portrait painter might be described as
a porpetual struggle TO harmonic the
two elements we have cited. In pro-

struggle is lessened. II he has a genius
