Turner writes +. " Lucas, In the
London Daily Mail, was for the most
part solitary, grudg!ng man, living
his own mysterious life. Toward the
end his friends in vain tried to track
him TO his lair in Chelsea, where, I'M
der the name of Booth. he consorted
after dusk with very shady taproom
companions, but at every daybreak
assembled to his roof to receive once
more from the sun OF his idolatry the
precious gift Of light.
Yet. in spite OF certain anti-social
tendencies and a contempt for the
mass OF mankind, Turner could be
kind and generous. He helped many
fellow artist, and once covered one
OF his Academy pictures with lamp
black to tone down its proud COM
handing brilliance. because its bright
ness of color in harming two neigh
ing portraits by Sir Thomas Law
renee, hurt that painters feelings. He
was fond of children and gave his
father a serene old age. But after his
work his chief claim to the gratitude
OF his follow creatures IS the Request
OF the bulk Of his fortune (which was
sworn at nearly 100000 TO found a
home OF rest for artists who had come
upon evil days. That litigation should
have set this benign scheme aside does
not dispose OF the great mans inten-
ton. What we have to remember is
that he amassed his immense fortune
by the most honorable and exalted in
dustry, and II he boarded it he did so
very largely with the intention that
the lot Of his less. successful brother
brushes" might N the happier.

MI thinks that the time has
= v L come when the work Of the
dozen or so young artists who have
lately begun designing for the stage
should be criticised, and to encourage
some one TO come on and say some

TO be evidence enough in his exhibition
to show that by temperament he does
not aim at the heights of glory, but
would be we'll enough content not to
be absolutely damned. He paints over
msntcls. for instance.
To be sure Wattau, F-IGOnard and
even the great Mantegna would have
painted over-mantels any day, and glad
OF the chance, but still when a gentle
man from Boston elects to paint for
NAL flower pieces for a seventeenth
century room" you may know that he
is not enamored of those grand pas
sions that lead on TO poetry and great
fame. At the same time these over
mantels are good. If I had an over
mantel that needed painting I'd just as
lief have Mr.. Mower do it as not.
Mr.. Mower paints portraits, too;
probably because some of his friends
insisted he should. The most salts

still lifes, architectural studies very

vergences of method are not. il in
clear, the result OF changes of view
point, and are not in any way con-
nected with the fashions in art that
come and go. They are simply due
to the fact that the artist gives him

mission TO the task that has been put
upon him, or which he has chosen.
Altogether there is something salts

him, leaving them to the janitor. who
promptly sold them for old paper.
Among the etchings exhibited are
brilliant impressions of what may be
considered Manet's most successful
plates, prints in every way worthy of
the great artist that he was, such for
example as the celebrated Lola de
Nalence, the Boy with the Sword, of
which he made several plates before
getting one to his liking; the Toilette,
the Dead Toreador, Olympia, the Fleur
Exotique and the astonishing profile
portraits Of Eva Gonzales and Charles
Beaudelaire.
Most OF these are associated IN one
way or another with we'll known per-
sonalities or controversies of the time,
and may be regarded as having a lit
erary interest almost as great as their
artistic value. Thus the Lola de
Valence in Its third state bears at the
bottom OF the plate four lines of verse
by Beaudelaire, beginning Entire tant

the Olympia was published IN Zola's

An accusation that has TO be made
as often as any against the painters
of the day, especially the successful
ones. Is "sameness." Something in our
system OF life constrains most OF us
who live by our wits 10 do over and
over again the same tricks. That
Martin Mower of Boston, who is now
exhibiting in the Enrich Galleries, does
not lay himself open to this attack Is
by way of suggestion that this hitherto
painter must be a gentle
man of leisure. His paintings may be
divided into five or six classes that are
so distinct that they might be thought
the work of Ave or six different men.
All OF these half dozen spirit forces
that seem to gain by turns the upper

but at the same time they arc SO sim
pie and honest in their workmanship
and for the most part such direct and
successful renderings of artistic inten-
ton, that they have much greater ar
tistic merit than the work of many
more familiar, ana as masters OF COM
plicated etching technique, more ac-
complished. men. In short, the best of
Manets etchings have in black and
white the same qualities and virtues
that his paintings have, and have long
been recognized, in France at least, as
an integral part of his artistic work. In
every way fitting and worthy Of his
paintings.
Manet began to etch in 1862, being
one Of the little group the others Of
which we're Bracquemond, Legros and
Ribot, whose prints made up the first
publication of the recently formed So
ciete des Aquafortistes, which was is
sued by Cadart in September, 1852,
Manet's contribution to this collection
was the Gitanos, which was based on
one OF his paintings and which may be
considered the first of his etchings, al
though he had made several earlier
experiments.
In the same year Cadart published a
COLLECTION of Eight Etchings OF Va
rious Subjects by Edouard Manet," all
Of which, like the Gitanos, are repre-
scented in this exhibition. Six OF these
were translations on the copper OF
Manet's recent paintings, the Guitar
Player. for instance, which was in the
Salon of 1861. and the Buveur dab
sinthe and l'Espada, which were re-
fused in 1862 and 1863.
These paintings, subsequently so IA =
nous and so highly regarded, were the
subject OF vio.ent controversy, and
from a commercial standpoint were
rank failures. The same thing was
true Of the etchings. for although they
were published at Il francs the set or
2 francs apiece. they found no pur-
chasers. II is even said that at one
time they were OF so little value that

But to rub the eyes Of the writer OF The

To awaken early is most repugnant
to the young, particularly to the
healthy young. 1t seems such a pro-
nounced characteristic that latter day

among the wise provisions Of nature to
safeguard their nerves, which as every
one knows are more sensitive than
those Of adults. The undesirability for
the young to become too suddenly

Another writes: Where We find
the modern theatre lacking Is in the
poverty OF the structional beauty in
auditorium and stage. and in the over
emphasizing OF the technical side Of
the purely artistic beauty Of the scene.
There are plays now--and il is safe to
predict that there will be more soon
for which the pure structional beauty
