 Hopes Still to Marry.
 T am glad to come home after all this trouble,'' said Miss Pap worth in relating her story" but am still a Mormon.
 MT. LinfOrd showed me what a beautiful religion it really is and that people who do not believe in them were either their enemies or were prejUdiced.
 He told me that Mormon religion taught people 10 lead pure lives and to preserve their bodies pure.
 Every Mormon l met told me that real Mormons did not belive in hav- ing more than one wife and that part of their religion is not to ear pork. sheIlfish. coffee. tea, mustard, pepper, or any other condiments which might be expected to excite the senses. Nor mons never drink or smoke
 For more than two years I have been going to other Christian churches and comparing their pracJIccS with what I have learned in the Mormon religion. The Mormon religion ap- pears to me to be beautiful and pure and holy.
 When the Mormon religion was started in Utah there were only eight members and it was necessary for them to cultivate the land and pOpu- late it. I believe what the MormOns told me. that then Joseph Smith was informed in c vision that il was the duty of the new sect in order to pop ulate the land with chosen people to practice polygamy among them selves. just as Abraham did and a7 Solomon did in the old days.
 "But still l believe what tho Nor mons told me that now the need for populating the land no longer exists Dolvgany has been banished.
 If anyone were % prove to me that there was anything unclean or impure in the Mormon religion l would aban- don it at once. But I cannot believe it.
 "I have given up all thoughts of go- ing out to Utah now, but ] may yet marry MT. Wright and 70 out to Cal ifornia with him. In the meantime l cannot part with my faith in Nor monism."

Honolulu. Aug. 25. - The United States naval dry dock at the Pearl Harbor base is one of tho largest in the world. Il is 1OO1 feet long and has an inside width Of 13S feet and inside depth of 22 l-2 feet. It will accommodate any ship afIoat. and represents an investment of more than 5000, ,OOO.
 The dock and naval base have a setting in what is considered one of the finest natural and most beautiful harbors in the world. Entirely land locked in rim of hills. Pearl Har- bor could anchor all the naval fleets of the world out Of view from the open sea.

they had been painted by main
strength. But there are two paintings
here, The Bridges" and the In

values are not with difficulty wrought
TO high pitch, but artistically happen.
Mr.. Halpert has not been hitherto pre-
eS:isely painter Of charm. His de-
liberate statements OF fact have been

The group Of six American painters
showing at the Reinhardt gallery mas
rs the catalogue declares, no aesthetic
philosophy to demonstrates No par
ticular tradition brings them together
Their aim, we take it, is simply 10 make
pleasant little exhibition, and in this
they succeed. One fgure painter is
represented, Mr.. Ivan Olnsky. lie
paints women and children adequately
enough, with not too sweet touch Of
sentiment, and keeps his subject
humanity interesting where the tempta
tion must be strong 10 give them
merely decorative air. Mr.. Edward Il
Potthast, another painter OF adolesccn,
types, is also a student of open air
effects. He has q light, vivacious way
with him and. in has winning sprght
illness, loses hold upon what we are
sure must lurk within his talent, q
stronger, more serious quality. There
is a cattle painter in the group, Mr.
Edward c. Nolkert. capable but not
very interesting, workman. The three
landscapists are Messrs. Eliot Clark
adroit in the handling OF color Mr.
Henry b. Smell, whose New England
coast scenes disclose some quiet, m
gratiating tones, and Mr.. Hobart
Nichols, chiefly to be commended for
his clever painting of snowbounc
brooks.
At the Ralston gallery the current
show Of recent American paintings is
assembled by twenty-five or thirty ar
fists. 1t contains one surprise-Nr.

principal colorist of this group is Mr.
Frank De Haven. who sends two land

a word, inspiring. There is enough
OF such art In the present exhibition TO
repay the careful searcher after ar
tistic sensation. There is not enough
to make us feel that the conception Of
beauty as the aim Of art is what the
new society, as society, represents.
IN Justice, we ought not to ask too
consciously representative a purpose on
the part Of the society. Beauty isn't
captured by stragetic plan. 1t emerges
almost unbidden out of habit Of
thought, out Of mood of the imagina-
tion. If the society is ever to achieve
It IN any great measure it will be be-
cause the society cannot, so to say, help
itself. Yet there is aid in the delib-
crate cultivation of ideals, and If the
new society disappoints us anywhere, it
Is IN its broad suggestion that such
Ideals as its members pursue are not.

ding sort. Take the question Of their

beauty if nothing else. Their technical
preoccupations occasionally landed
them in rather meaningless precios-
ity. 1t may be that the new generation
Is fearful Of falling into the same trap.
But it needn't really be alarmed,
Beauty, though it were only the
beauty OF pigment caressingly manipu-
iated, never hurt any one. 1t NAV be
a matter of pride to the society-onc
never knows the lengths to which "in-
dependence" will go-but this exhibi-
tlon contains a parlous proportion OF
works painted as though the painter
had no more love for the "feel" of his
medium than if he we're house painter

1T would not appear to be on the side
OF the solicitude of which We speak.
Its pronouncement on "laneuapes"
would suggest, in fact, that it is rather
Indifferent on the subject. We hope it
won't remain so. 1t begins promisingly

anything new that the observer must
come to these galleries. Nor, as we
have limited, is it for the specially
salient picture, the striking, impress

else. There is, in fact. the strangest
lack OF really conspicuous contribu-
tions. The best thing on the walls is
perhaps Mr.. Weir's "Nocturne," the
work Of veteran, and q work, into the
bargain, which has been publicly seen
before. But if the society can claim
no virtuosi it can at least claim to
have brought together q diverting en-
sembe.

petent craftsmen. Competent crafts

Dougherty and Mr.. Lawson, among the
painters; Mr.. O'Connor, Mr.. Quinn.
Mr.. Flanagan, Mr.. Manship and Mr..
Sterne, among the sculptors; Mr.. Ster-

among the draughtsmen, are all men
who know what they are about tech

in the whole affair. We are spared
