eventually find permanent emplacement
course of erection. There is also included
in the exhibition a portrait of Carl Mel
chers. painted by ]. J. Shannon some
years ago, to be sure. but still admirable
as to likeness.
In the field of portraiture Mr. Melchers
seems not to have been quite as sue
cessful as in that of pictorial composition.
His color somehow seems to falter when
it comes to making likenesses and his
interest to flag, but there are other por-
trait painters and there are today few
painters of pictures. few interpreters OF
life in its simple fundamental manffes-
tations, such as Mr.. Melchers'-
Curiousiy enough, like other well known
artists. Mr.. Melchers seems early to have
arrived at remarkable proficiency. "The
Communion" it will be remembered, was
painted before he was thirty. and some
of the other exceedingly notable pictures
in this collection were produced shortly
thereafter. That as years have gone by
he has painted differently is evident. but
hard to say.
In the entire collection no work per-
haps shows the real genius Of the painter
more than a little canvas entitled Tho
Hermit" hung inconspicuously on the
second line. which was shown last year
in the Corcoran Gallery's cotemporary
exhibition. a work so marvelously rem.
dered. SO charming in tone. SO intensely
!
gives to the initiated. to the real art
lover. an intense thrill of joy. Many of
Mr.. Meichers' paintings have the extra
ordinary virtue of being atmospheric.
spontaneous and toneful, and for this
reason as works of art they attain an
extraordinary height.
The exhibition continues until Feb
ruary %, and it is one which none
who can avail himself OF the oppor-
tunity should fail to see.

I The death of Gen. Thomas J. Shryock
lds1 week removed a very prominent
figure from the Masonic circles Of the
United States. for his fame was nation

serving his thirty-third term as grand
master OF Masons of the state of Mary
land. where also he had been honored
| In the past by elevation to the grand
nigf priestship of Royal Arch Masonry
ana the grand commandership Of
Knights Templar of the state.
he was also an active sovereign
grand inspector general of the Supreme
Council of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite for the Southern Juris-
diction Of the United States and its
| treasurer general. as well as general
grand treasurer of the General Grand
Chapter of Royal Arch Masons and
president of the George Washington
Masonic National Memorial Association.
His title of general. by which he was
familiarly called. came to him through
state appointment by the Governor
tof Maryland.
Gen. Shryock was a deep student of
iFreemasonry, a man of scholarly at
tainments, and it has been said of him
that IN his long service as grand mas
Ter OF Maryland he ruled Masonry as
wei as the hearts of Masons of that

Some of our exchanges are making
sorrowful remarks about the great
number of marriages of girls to
young men either in the army or sub
ject to the draft. They are calling on
parents to discourage such marriages
and on the young folks themselves to
exercise their self-control. There is
not much use in such advice When
a boy and girl make up their minds
to wed, it takes hades and high water
to keep them apart. 1t is cowardly
thing for man to do to marry to
keep from sharing in the defense Of
his country, and woman who mar
ries such coward is a fool The
government has decided that a mar
riage since the war broke out does
not alter a mans status-a wise de-
cision, and one that probably saved
the next generation from being
largely made up of towards. There
fore, the incentive to marry to escape
military service has been removed.
Since war became imminent, good
many of our young friends have
joined hearts and hands, and so far
as we have seen all such marriages
have been well worth while Some
we know have brought great happi-
ness, and happiness is one Of tbs
most valuable things in the world.
The memory of few happy months
or days, or hours-or even minutes
will do great deal to brighten long
years of loneliness and sorrow. One
brave little girl said of her boy hus-
band, IF he must be killed, I'd rather
mourn for him as his widow than his
sweetheart" and she put lifetime
of wisdom in those few words.
