The Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, who
has made the parish house of the
Church of the Ascension, as we'll as the
church itself, source of peculiarly
progressive activity, has begun series
of art exhibitions designed to illustrate
modern and international art The
first of these semi-annuaI affairs, just
opened in the hall of the parish house,
augurs we'll for the success of the
idea. 1t is framed to give pleasure
and to have, we suppose, a certain
educational influence. 1t should as
suredly serve the purpose of giving
visitors a fair notion of current ten
denotes. The modernists do not pre-
dominate, but they are given their
chance. One of Mr.. Max Weber's Gu

there are examples of men like Samuel
Halpert and Maurice Sterne. The

ton Of design, which accepts no stereo-
typed pattern, yet demands that pat
tern, of sort, should go to the de-
velopment of portrait. Whether our
school consciously rejects the idea or
not we cannot say. Who can tell what
goes on in the head of every portrait
painter? But the results as we see

Lovers of French art we'll remember

Rare is the notable composition, the
disposition of form and color SO origf-
nal and so distinguished that one very
nearly forgets the sitter, enjoying the
portrait simply as a work of art. This
is only another way of saying that the
exhibition under review fAtters our
pride in technical authority without
making US feel that the highest au-
thority of all has yet been reached 1t
shows American portraiture to be in a
wholesome, progressive condition 1t
shows it also to be at transitional
stage, preoccuped with actuality, wait
ing still to reach the skill, the poise
and the monumental quality character

Monumental" may seem a rather por-
tentous word. Yet it fits the quality
as of something rich, full and final
which belongs alike to an early Flor
entne profile and to such intensely
modern things as some of the portraits
by Degas-for example, his great

the rusty, war-worn cannon are inf

Pure BRED CATTLE, DAIRY and
BEEF BREEDS, POPULAR IN MAURY

There are probably 100 herds of
registered Jersey cattle in Maury
county, counting large and small
herds. Many of these herds contain
only few cows and heifers, others
attain to ambitious size. In addition
there are large number of farmers
who own one or more pure bred Jer-
sey cows. Practically all of the milk
cows of the county are of the breed
that has made one of the isles off the
coast of France famous. Maury
countians are decidedly partial to the
Jersey, naturally so because nowhere
in the world, not even in the ancest-
raj home Of this breed have they
developed better than in the Dimple.

every lover of Jersey and she was

Only in recent years have Maury

the historic Shorthorn seemed to be

three breeds are so far represented
in the county, the Shorthorns, the
Whitefaces and the Doddes.
