constrained to visualize the American
school as one devoted entirely to a
facilo sort of modelling, an easy pretti-
ness, half deft technique and half
Rodinesque fancy. The present collcc-
ton tells different story, emphasizing
more serious characteristics. There are
a surprising number of nudes which
are more than gracious and pleasing,
nudes like Mr.. Adams's "Nymph," for
example, which joins to its idealistic
sentiment remarkable linear distinc-
ton. Lock at Mr.. Beach's Sacred

delightful thing about them all is their
vivid quality, rooted in fidelity to life
and in thoroughness.
We underline the last word because
n the mass of sculpture nowadays
there is SO little knowledge, so little
grasp upon structure. Clererness is
everywhere surfaces are adroitlv
touched. But too many contemporary
figures have no bowels-they are hollow
empty shells. The best service rendered
by this exhibition is the emphasis il
places upon work not improvised, but
modelled with as much care as sensi-
tlveness, as much strength as facility.

All Of Them
Talked Together

"No, l haven't; assure you l
haven't" protested Nine. Moreau, who
seemed hustered, and whom the ladies'
present quickly surrounded, all Of hem
talking at the same time.
Nine. Delaporte interposed:
1--WE understand your discretion,
dear friend. But it is a great honor
for our town to have such hero here,
and we shall all be very proud and
very happy to make his acquaintance.
SO when he has rested up little you
will present him, won't you? Here, at
my house?
81 count on you for that" she whis-
pered in Nine Moreau's ear, warmly
clasping her hand.
This intimacy with Nine. Delaporte
had something so hattering in it that
Nine Moreau was a little intoxicated.
you may depend on me, dear friend,
she promised, exhilarated at the
thought of permitting herself such a
familiarity.
Assaulted with questions about the
officer, she answered as best she could,
although. from time to time a painful
preoccupation handicapped her in her
talk. When she found herself in the
street once more, with her daughters,
the excitement of her success vanished
in an instant and grave anxiety
clouded her face.

NENEN or eight ladies', important

assembled in Nine Delaporte' s

lowed by her two daughters, fresh look

remember the time, not very long ago.
when she entered this salon with great
humility, enjoyed the grateful sensa-
ton, not yet dulled, of being received
with marked consideration and of
seeing the imposing Nine. Delaporte
herself, whose social distinction was
unchallenged, manifest certain eager
ness to greet her. This lady, who was
usually the reverse, now seemed full
of animation.

Breathless with emotion, she lapsed
into silence. NJ. Moreau wiped the
perspiration from his temples. The

at them with his clear and confident

Christ's Kingdom

All Others Fall

This war is bringing its results
and the kingdoms of this world are
falling fast and the time is not far
distant when there shall be no more
Kingdoms. When this happens only
the kingdom of Christ will be left
standing, stated Rev. A. V. Babhs,
pastor Of the Stull Memorial church
in his sermon Sunday morning. He
further stated:
At the opening of the nineteenth
century the people of the United
States looked out on a dismal pros
pect. Absolute monarchies were in
all lands of Europe except France
and Switzerland. The monarchs OF
Europe were leading the unprivi-
hdged classes and some of the no

Speech Great
Historical Epoch

LONDON, Jan. Premier Lloyd
Georges speech TO the delegates of

acterized by the weekly newspapers
as marking a historical epoch in the
war. The Weekly Dispatch asserts
that il is a courageous call for unity
in the nation in the face of the trials
and dangers that lie ahead is the
best answer to the clamerous, If un-
important, minority who have been
endeavoring TO drive a wedge be-
tween the government and the labor
party on the false plea that there are
unbridgeable integral difficulties in
the receptive conceptions of the war
aims for which we are lighting"
The News OF the World declares
the speech outlined the British war
aims with a degree OF precision
which leaves no loophole for misun-

The Sunday Times says the most
satisfactory phrases of the speech
and the most discomforting for the
Prussian war lords are those which
reveal it as mot an utterance Of

party, but as the considered utter

The People asserts Mr. Lloyd

walton Great Britain's war aims, aud
adds:
