here and there passages of beguiling

naturally salient picture is Mr.. Dew

whose simplicity, amounting almost to
baroness, is relieved by great mantel-
shelf in the background with mirror

say in paying tribute to Mr. Dewing,
is the magic of style, transcending and

Mr.. Sloan is dealing in modulations of

about the aptitude Of born crafts

almost anything with paint-if he

Mr.. Sloan turns to brighter keys, and
while now and then, as in his Blue

now with too many of his fourteen

A collector Of rare enthusiasm and
discrimination was lost in the death
Of Frederick W. Hunter last month.
He was known as an authority
on early American making an
important gift of Stiegel glass to the
high rcpute also as q connoisseur Of
Oriental art, specializing in Japanese
prints. His prints, numbering about
200 impressions, now appear at the
Walpole Galleries, where they are to
be sold next Wednesday evening. Mr.
Bunkio Matsuki, who writes the cat
aloguc, permits himself rather more
frequent EXPLANATIONS o. eulogy than
are common in such publications, but
we read his encomiums only to second
them with the heartiest approval. 1t
is an exceptional thing to come upon
so brilliant an array. The very small
ness of the collection enhances it's
merits. There is no confusion. One
is struck Immediately by the beauty
of Mr. Hunters treasures.
1t is the beauty of perfect impress
sions, in field where freshness and
purity of color count for much. Early
in the list, for example, there come
the works Of the parable

truth and vivacity in his landscape

There is a point at which a portrait
painted in our own time trembles be-
tween the status Of portrait and that
Of decoration. It's ambiguity is due
as a rule, not merely to incerttude in
the matter of taste, but to matters of
workmanship. Technical knowledge ia,
indeed, at the bottom of a right solu-
ton Of the problem. 1t is this that

Mr.. Joseph De Camp, if we are not
mistaken the largest and most am

painted. 1t is at all events quite his

should be softly glowing, the scheme
is as unified as it is gay. What is

gallery Of Pratt Institute, Brook

ties Of TYPOGRAPHY as a fine art, Mr..

Of visitors. Mr. Brown, whose litho-

that time acquired a set Of his prints.

The former include colored mezzotints

other sources. The body Of drawings
from the collection of Mr.. Frederick

THE AVERAGE.

IN spite of showers over the county
very day the wheat harvest is pro-
crossing fairly well, although there is
still labor shortage in the country.
Reports of the yield do not agree.
Some farmers have estimated their
yield on wheat that has been cut at
twenty bushels or more while others
declare that they will be gratihed if
they thresh out half that much per
acre. 1t is assured. however. that in
spite of deterioration during the

one of the best ever produced in the
