ms famlllar subject was expected of
course, only to enhance the beauty Of his
pictures. 1t did nothing of the sort.
ms nag pictures arc on the whole the
coidest, least inspired things he ever
ava IN his life. Now let us turn to
~. ms Academy picture. The title,
Ianagra; The Builders" is only nomi-
nally relevant. The statuette upheld
ny the figure in the composition, the
glimpse of building operations to be-
mad through the window at which she
stands, have nothing to do with our
interest IN the work. That springs
entirely from the sensuous charm
Wnlch the colorist and technician have
achieved. "Tanagra" is in reality an
affair of still life, decorativc color
scheme in which the girl portrayed
supplies one note, the screen at her
PACK another, the table with its bowl
OF flowers in the foreground a third.
Inc ensemble is opucnt, luscious.
Sensuously beautiful. And it is sue
cesSful. clearly. because this is the
KIND OF picture that Mr.. Hassam was
meant to paint. He has done it be-
tore He will do it again. The whole
testimony of his work as we have
seen 1T for years enforces the fact
lhat with such a motive as this he is
at his ease and in command of all his
resources. He is painting, here, what
interests him, and he paints it super
latlvely we'll. We do not for q mo-
ment question the validity of his in
Ierest IN the subject of his flag series
1t is simply that in the one case he
has made interest" Synonymous with
ruling passion" and in the other has
not succeeded in doing so. The differ
ence is vital
The decorative motive as it is ey-
plotted by Mr.. Hassam in this instance
and by Mr.. Fromkes in "The White
Heron lovely bit of color-is an
old characteristic of the Academy. II
plays its part this season, as usual, and
we are not sure but that in the i'm
memorial conflict of decoration versus
IDEAS it has triumphed again, as it has
triumphed before. Certainly there is
nothing in the show to beat Mr.. Has
sam S glowing canvas. Still. the paint
ters who have attempted to bring some
imaginative warmth into their work are
not altogether negligible. Mr.. Mora's
'Llberators,' the huge canvas in which
an anguished Christ brings solace and
courage 70 the fighters who have been
wagine His war, is fine in conception,
impressive in atmosphere. What ii
lacks is hardly to be described in the
word "fnish," yet that is the word
which insists upon presenting itself.
We miss the sense of design carried
through with force, with authority, of
q large idea largely realized. Big as
the canvas is, it yet has something

of the collection requiring some seven
sessions. Mr.. Moore was the expert
who in 1880 joined the late James J.
Sutton in organizing the American
Art Galleries in this city. Two years
later the partnership was dissolved
and henceforth Mr. Moore carried on
an Oriental business of his own. At
the American Art Galleries there has
just opened, by the way, without con-

exhibition Of ancient paintings belong

The Contemporary Club. of Newark,

=, .ho talk about the relation of the
~ art. which is apt to flow from
.,uost any exhibition of new pictures
rodavs. it is natural to assume. as
uothinc to start with. an inspiring
.orce in the war. From great sub
;.ct we say, there should be struck
torth great pictures, as a matter of
.,,rse. There is a speedy and rather
,;s,oncerting answer to that-"First

.ocether question of catching q great

GREAT or small, is not necessarily, as we
would like to believe. kind of aeolian

Instruments in the world, hospitable

Ne no soundcr affirmation of artistic
virtue. If he tries to paint anything
else he is lost in the quagmires of in
sincerity. Nay, we would carry still
further the narrowing pressures of in
dviduality in this matter of choice.
The artist, on occasion. may honestly
believe himself to be interested, yet
will his damon prove stronger than he
is and enforce the truth that he is in
deed the slave OF his own nature. sue

These reflections, which might we'll

especially marked confirmation in the

real Merry Christmas-an Amer
France this month.
Not Noel, the French observance of
the Goth of December, but Christmas,
the day of presents, trees, carols
and Santa Claus entertainments. The
land from which the invader has
been driven will echo with greetings
of merry Chrstmas!" in the manner
known to- New England, to the Central
States, to the South or the Pacific
Coast. In word, it will be Christmas.
Released from the business of war
fare, from the drudgery of the trenche S
and the field Of battle, mere than a
million American soldiers, unable to
return to their home hearths in time
to enjoy the festal day with their fam
lies, will devote their energies to Civ
ing the American idea of the day to
the children of France. And while
these young men, who threw them
selves on the altar of democracy to
save the world, are unselishly giving
happiness to the young of that land,
they themselves will not be forgotten.
Y. NJ. c. A. Planned Early
One of the agencies through which
the American Christmas with its Santa
Claus and its tree will be given to
France is the American Y. M. c. A..
which began preparing for the occa-
sion last summer, when there was no
peace in sight. The principal effort
of the Red Triangle organization will
be to give the soldiers, the marines
and the sailors home Christmas, and
at the same time aid them in furnish
ing treat to the French children.
That greatest hero of childhood
Santa Claus, will be introduced for
mally to little Pierre and little Marie
who have had four Christmases OF
pushed across into France. To en-
able the American soldiers to present
this great favorite in character the
Y. NJ. C. AS. theatrical costume de-
partment last summer began work
ing on thousands of bright red Santa
Claus suits.
This will furnish the costumes for
all of the Santa Clauses who will APP
pear on Christmas Day to distribute
the presents among the children as
we'll as to make the presentations to
the soldiers. In every "Y" hut in
France-and there are now 1900 of
them-an American Santa Claus. the
embodiment of that great and gener-
Gus nation across the sea, will delight
the French children with the distri-
button of presents. And in the 1,5OO
Foyers du Soldat, those "Y" huts main
tanned within the French army. the
saint from America also will material
ize to give JOY to the children and the
poilus.
The soldiers have not been over
looked by the Y. NJ c. A. To every
one of the men Of the American Ex-
peditionary Force in France the Red
Triangle organization will present a
Christmas box containing two cakes
of chocolate, two packages of cigar
cites, tin of tobacco and cream
candy
No Soldier Is Forgotten
Early in October preparations for the
Christmas celebration began to take
shape definitely. Boxes with candles
spangles and all kinds of tree orna-
ments were packed for each of the 800

more thoroughly. On the other hand,
George Bellows. in his "Massacre at
Dinant," has carried his labors too far.
Such an uninaginable horror as is here
set forth should be painted, if it is to
be painted at all, swiftly, as in a flash
OF lightning. 1t should convey a single
awful Impression, yielded through a
sudden rift in the clouds. As matter

The alligator was found two years

capped from some one who brought 1t
north. Mr.. Arnold took charge of the
alligator and by intensive feeding de-

The pet developed a fine, sharp set of

Mr.. Arnold has other pets in his
