hilarating by itself as to console US for
the comparative rarity Of nuance.
Mr.. Spcer-Simson makes a sympa-
thetic collaboration with M. Caro-Del-
vaille. He is. in some instances, on
surer ground in the matter of delicacy.
Some Of his portraits in very low re-
lief are executed with an instructive
subtlety and are altogether successful.
But these are not, in the main, the
examples which seem to give the truest
report of his talent The faint. evan
cscent impression, though within his
scope and recorded, as we have said,
with not infrequent success, nevcrthe-
less does not touch us with a sense
of any especially individualzcd quality.
1t is precisely in proportion to the
stronger nature of his theme, and the
consequent heightening of the force in
his attack, that he increases the value
of his work. The charm of many of
his portraits of women does not blind
us to the fact that he is at his best
in the portraits of men. Boldness Of
relief, franker, fuller research into
form, richer play of light and shade
these expedients bring more quickly
70 the surface his essential quality as
a modeller. He has good faculty
Tor pattern. The head is always we'll
seen and we'll placed. He is discreet,
, too, in the matter of lettering and ac-
cessories generally. 1t is a comfort to
meet a medalist who knows when not
to be decorative. Mr.. Spicer-Sim
can be positively picturesque, when
need be, as several of his commemora-
tive pieces testify, but his portraits are
remarkable and should be cordially
praised for their fine simplicity. He,
like his painter friend, is a notably sin
cere and robust craftsman
A little pendant to the recent brilliant
exhibition of Primitives at the Klein
berger gallery is offered at the Enrich
gallery in the shape of a collection
/ of fourteen early religious paintings.
Among the Italian pieces there is
beautiful Ratfaellno del Carlo, a
panel that glows like jewel, and this

source of weakness. Appreciation of

Sending a Princeling
Upon His Way

During a winter season in Berlin
young Mrs. Griffin drove to join the
fashionable throng of ice skaters on
the lake. Wrapped in furs and a
charming air of reserve, she was grace
fully gliding about, when young
princelng of noble German house APP
preached her and, sustained by certain
royal privileges, asked her to skate
with him. 1t was then that Berlin So
ciety was scandalized, and the Ameri-
can Ambassador. looking on, was moved
to an undiplomatic chucklc. She an
swered in excellent and audible Ger
man:
Your highness assumes the priv
ilege of an acquaintance which does not
exist" and, turning her back upon him,
she skated away. His highness climbed,
skates and all, into his carriage and
disappeared at furious pace
In later years Mrs. Griffin was
founder president OF the Society of
American Women ip London, of which
the Duchess of Marlborough was sub
scquent president.

Boche Ears in
A Silken Purse

for time and rest, she explained that
the uniform she wore was not intended
as tea gown, and that, moreover, she
was the coniidante of too many love
affairs and tales of woe to abandon her
post as Cupid and oracle into less ex-
perienced hands.
There is the tale of the contiding
Arab who consigned to her care a
small silhen bag whose atmosphere
was so overpowering that she was
finally forced to investigate its con-
tents. 1t was found to contain a choice
collection Of Boche ears. Miss Crit
fin is so overcome by the recollection of
this incident that she cannot be in
duced to proceed, and the ultimate dis
position of these startling souvenirs
must remain q matter for speculation.
And then there are other tales of
less thrilling but, more deeply tragic
nature. Two young COUSINS of Miss
Griffin have fallen upon that field
whose sad harvest she helps to gather
and restore. One. Lieutenant Douglas
Griffin, Of the British forces, fell with
nine deep wounds and the loss of both
legs and hands. The other was a
brother of +. V. Lucas, the author. and
also gave his life.
Miss Griffin is the daughter of Hugh
Reid Griffin. a prominent member of
the American Chambers Of Commerce
of London and Paris and chairman Of
transportation of the American War
Relief Clearing House, and Mrs. Crit
fin, who, as a young American bride
in Europe was noted beauty and
of whom a prophetic incident is re-

men propelled the boat when beneath

Instead of forcing his boat under with

and Nordenfet, Fulton, like Holland
made her dive bow foremost by depress-

showing her under by driving her ahead.
Fulton was also the first to give a
submarine separate means of propulsion
for above and below the surface, Just as
a modern under-sea boat uses oil-en-
gines whenever it can and saves its stor-
age batteries for use when submerged,
Fulton spared the strength of his screw
by rigging the Nautilus with mast and
sail BY pulling rope from inside the
vessel the sail could be shut up like a

jib was added to the mainsail. and the

''Robert Fulton was probably the first
American who ever went to Paris for
the purpose of selling water supplies to,
the French government" says Farnham
Bishop in his popularity written story OF

Unlike his compatriots of today. he
found anything but a ready market For
three years, beginning in 1897, Fulton
tried constantly but vainly to interest
the Directory in his plans for a sub
marine Though commission appointed
to examine his designs reported favor--
ably. the minister of marine would have
nothing to do with them Fulton built
d beautiful little model submarine OF
mahogany and eXhigited it. but with no
eesults. He made an equally fruitess
attempt TO sell his invention to Holland,

became First Consul and absolute ruler
of France in 1907. He appointed three

build submarine.
Construction was begun at oIce and the
boat was finished in May, 1901. She was

WASHINGTON, D. C.-That thousands of
tons of supplies are being purchased in
France and Great Britain for the Amer
lean troops already on the firing line is
the statement of Herbert Corey, war
correspondent, in a communication to the
National Geographic Society, portion of
which the society issues as the following
war geography bulletin
-Four hundred shiploads of things the
American army needs in France have
been purchased In Europe.
1.-THE American army is 5000 miles
away from its home base, in a country
which is increasingly feeling the strain Of
more than three years of war. The num-
Der of Americans is added to each week.
With the growth of the army the daily
needs for clothing and food has grown in
proportion.
Everything was needed at once Cloth
for uniforms was bought in England,
along with shoes and hats and blankets
France furnished cannon and tents, and
pots and pans and food. The rocky army
was billeted in peasants cottages until
material for huts could be found and the
huts built.
Paris was drained of all sorts Of office
material. T. doubt if there is a good desk
or filing cabinet or revolving chair to be
found there today. The American army
reached France as bare as a fish and 1t
had to be provided for, Naturally enough,
prices blew out of the chimney in this
forced draft of demand Three times the
peace value was fair price,
IS i must have tents and blankets and
cots for 250 men by six o'clock. was the
telephone message that came to one buyer
at noon one day.
There isn't a tent nor a blanket nor
a cot in town. said the buyer
Usually that would have ended the
conversation. But the man at the other
end of the telephone was in earnest.
:" Then ESQ men will sleep in the snow
tonight and cover themselves with a
ditch, said he, Don't tell me you can't
get that stuff. You've got to get 1t.
