us put up everything we have to back
up these brave Galahads of ours"
OF the Red Cross workers at the
front the Colonel said:
with the light of death in their
eyes they bear the emblem onward.
The pride that comes to us at home is
merely a pride of reflection from the
light of their souls"
At the monday meeting in City Hall
Park Lady Muriel Paget, who is on her
way back to England after several
strenuous years of Red Cross work in
Russia, started food of giving when
she said:
II know you feel Russia has deserted
us, but when l tell you that there are
1000, 900 graves in Russia to show for
their two brave years of fighting
say We have got to go back and help
them now.
That's what the Russians have done
for you. Their roll of casualties con-
tains 100000 names l have been with
the surgeons on the Russian front when
German bombs were destroying hospi-
tai bases and the doctors were working
without proper instruments and per-
forming operations without an@sthet-
women stood by and did their full
share. We want your help"
This was sufficient to start the crowd,
and many of the clerks and Office work
ers went back to their tasks without
luncheon-but with little Red Cross
buttons in their coat lapels."
The largest individual contribution
made in New York yesterday came from
Cleveland H. Dodge. 1t was for $780,

Mczxotinter Devoted
To Heroic Portrait

Lingering before one of Smiths
charming plates. "The Promenade at
Carlisle House." we are reminded by
the comparative singularity of the sub
Ject of curious fact in the history of
mezzotint. The art was not Indifferent,
as this and other examples may be
cited to show. to the broader aspects
OF OF English social life, to the surface
movement of the time. But in the
main such material was left to the
lighter practitioners, to the stipplers
and makers Of color prints generally.
The me2zotinter reserved himself for
the heroic portrait. Turner's plate
after the great state group painted by
Reynolds, George. Fifth Duke of Mari
borugh, and His Family" might we'll be
taken as summing up the temper of the
whole school. The members Of that
school might deviate now and then into
more informal mood. but they were,
paradoxically most at their ease when
and style. They dearly loved a stately
composition. Not even a military
theme could shake their determination
to be grand" Reynolds's Colonel
Iarleton" is dashing portrait. if ever
there was one; but when Smith mezKo-
tinted it we may be sure that what ap-
pealed to him was the measured dig
nifty which also belongs to the piece.
This exhibition abounds in tempta-
tion toward anecdotic browsing 1t is
packed with celebrated personalities of
both sexes. But the important point
for our present purpose is the high
technical excellence made manifest.
The Grolier Club has had amazing good
fortune in its search FOR fine and rare

portunity offered him to see precisely
what was accomplished by famous

With fair weather to-day the thou
sands of workers hope that the efforts
of the first two days will be far out
done. One of the "stunts" set for this
week will be the melting of the Kai-
ser's yacht cup. In 1905 the Kaiser an
nounced that he would give a cup for
the sailing yacht which would make
the best time between Sandy Hook and
The Lizard. Wilson Marshall's three
masted schooner yacht Atlantic beat
out twelve entries, crossing the finish
line in twelve days. Tae Kaiser's cup
proved TO be a solid gold vessel that
bore likeness of the Kaiser on one
side. 1t stands five feet high. Mr..
Marshall has decided to have the cup
auctioned off with the understanding
that it be melted down by the pur-
cAaser. The price paid will be given
to the second Red Cross fund.
