her position in the palace. Clytemnestra,
Electra's mother, replies only with scorn
when taunted for her evil deeds. An at
tendant now enters, in accordance with
Orestes's plan, to announce the death of
the young man in chariot race in a dis
tant country. His eloquent description of
the race forms one of those long rhetorical
speeches Of which almost every Greek
tragedy can show at least one. The news
Of Orestess death brings despair to Eec-
tra's heart She urges her sister to join
her Immediately in her plan of vengeance.
Chrysothemis fatty refuses
Presently Orestes and Electra come
face to face, the woman still ignorant
of the truth. He gives her an urn which
he says contains Orestes's ashes This
she apostrophizes:
O sole memorial of his life whom most
OF all alive loved! Orestes mine,
With other thoughts l sent thee forth than
these
! With which now receive thee. Now, I bear
In these my hands what is but nothineness;
Yet sent thee forth, dear boy in bloom Of

And was ever called thy sister true;
But now all this has vanished in day,
Then follows the recognition scene" on
which critics have exhausted rich vocab-
ulary of praise. OF all such scenes in the
ancient drama this is generally accepted
as the most pathetic and the most superb
ly dramatic. The greater part of this
expertly managed dialogue follows:
Ores: Is this Electra's noble form see?
Elec.: That self-same form, and sad enough
its state.
Ores: Alas! alas for this sad lot of thine.
Elec.: Surely thou dost not vail, o friend,

used

phaclite painters and subjects drawn from
the classic legends of Greece
"Thc tendency of the times is to disregard
classic themes but this exhibition empha-
sizes the significance Of ancient history and
legends which show the tragedy of this pres
cnt age to be but a repetition Of the nast.
"Throughout the artists work there is a
marked decorative sense, which would lend
itself to large composition, and this sense
is not rare among painters; but for some
unknown reason the empty wall spaces of our
public buildings remain untitled and our
artists continue to paint easel pictures,
though capable of much broader effort"
TO Mr., Guy Pene du Bois, writing in
"'Ihe New York Evening Post" Mr.. Bur-
roughss work brings back, with modern
notifications, the glory that was Greece:
"Amd his eighteen pictures at the Mont
ross Gallery we shall find as much of Puvis
dc Chavannes as Of Greece. Puvis, anyway
like lngres, is one Of the beads strung on the
New-York tribune., 1918-02-10

classic thread. He is an intellectual mani
testation of enough resource to recognize the
force Of archaic forms. Mr.. Burroughs's The
Sailors will remind Of the fisherman by
Puvis in the gallery of tho Luxembourg, re-
mind of it in technique rather than in spirit.
The Puvis used to be known among students
Of my time as lie Pauvre Pecheur.' There is
no copy of it here. The fsherman's wife and
child may have been in the boat with him. It
was a poor. boat He stood up in it-a lean,
gaunt and hopeless figure. Behind him were
generations of primitive peoples quite as
dumb as beasts. Mr.. Burroughs's sailors are
lifting a boat into the surf. The boat is dec
Grated with a Greek fret. It is an artistic
boat, which leads at once to suppose that
the men handling it were of happier strain
of fishermen or Of sailors. They had time for
art therefore life could not have been too
great burden; they could appreciate beauty,
thus they must have felt moments Of JOY"
The art critic of 'The New York
World" remarks that Mr.. Burroughs s
work has always been individual, and that
"his personal predictions and methods
have been unatfected":
"In his art he is above all an idcalist, and he
brings highly trained technique to the COM
position of the most delicate and dainty in
ventions. 1t probably would not matter where
he set his easel for subject, because any
scenic background can be applied to his uses
changed modified as he likes, and then sup
piled with figures and accessories to suit his
| fancy, the product becoming a clear deriva-
tive of artistic imagination, expressed in
classic terms. The work suggests that of
Puvi; de Chavannes, whom, doubtless, he
greatly admires, but the simplicity and cheer
full atmosphere of it and it's singular charm
are distinctive and personal, and the canvases
take high rank in decorative creation"
The critic for "The New York Sum-
muses. somewhat whimscally over the
matter of morality. "The moralities," he
decides, "have been Observed" but lie
adds in qualifying parenthess:
"Thc writer, not specialist upon this
point, believes them to have been strictly OBJ
served. At any rate, in the doubtful in
stances of the Consolation of Ariadne' and
the Porter and the Ladies of Bagdad' it is
possible for the pure at heart to take an
optimistic view of the trihing irregularity of
the proceedings"

OF 1t IN "Everyman," under the title "A

thereby to the fact that Chesterton's chief
purpose seems to have been to toppie over
everything that previous historians have

produced during the war;" Instead OF
being real history, he considers Chester

ME- last week has seen an increase in

\HE last week has seen an increase in
good things to view at the picture
galleries, and choice of any one
subject is difficult. Perhaps as interest
ing as any is the exhibit of eighteen
paintings by Bryson Burroughs at the
Montross Galleries.
When Mr.. Burroughs first exhibited in
New York, three years ago, writes Royal
Cortissoz in The New York Tribune, there
was Stiffness in his drawing and model
ling, there was hardness in his surfaces,
there was coldness in his color. And yet
he took US captive" Now, continues this
critic, che is even more compelling." To
be sure
"thc old technical foibes arc there, but they
are less insistent upon getting between us
and the true substance of this artists work.
Is 1t that in the short space of two or three
years he has heightened his proficiency as n
craftsman? Yes, in some measure. His sur
faces seem little finer, his handling a
shade less turgid
Yet it is not in the mint and cummin of
technique that note the decisive progress
he has made. 1t is rather in that indefnable
power which distinguishes the creative artist
from the mediocrity, and, some times hap
pens. justifics him where mcdiocrity is bound
to fail"
Three influences are to be noted IN Mr..
Burroughs's work, in the opinion of E. w.
Powell, writing in "Thc New York Even
ing Mail" These are the Persian nflu-
encc, that of Puvis de Chavannes and
something of the Pre- Raphaelites Mr..
Powell writes:
"That these influences arc obvious does not
imply that Mr. Burroughs is not rarely per-
sona Above all, he is poet with a love
OF the classical and predominating decora-
tive sense. Much of the work, therefore, is
mural in both subject and treatment, while
the rest of, it may be called more or less
I mural in treatment only, the subject being
intimate and present day rather than heroic
or lcgendary'
'His art recalls to us q gentle music of
bygone days" adds the critic of "Thc New
York Globe" who continues:
; "We find the rsthetcsm Of the Pre- Ra-

the great tragedians of Greece and

fashion and gives little weight to the

VEIL. DESIGNS ARE VARIED
Some So Elaborated With Outline or
Traeery Embroideries That They
Resemble Lace.

While the scroll veil is very popu-
lar, ii has a rival in the dotted veil.
The latter may show the dot in heavy
chenille spots, velvet pastelles or in
embroideries of silk. Its chief allure
ment lies in Its novelty.
Nearly all the new wells have geo
metrical or irregular meshes, many of
them so elaborated with outline or
tracery embroideries as to resemble
lace. Dark brown, taupe and gray are
favored coIors, sometimes overwrought
with white or black embroiderfes.
The veil shapes are almost as varied
as the colors and patterns. Some are
square, others circular, and there are
those that are oblong. Indeed. a good
deal of pains has been taken to shape
the veil so that it will have an artistic
relation to the hat with which it viii
be ultimately worn.
