a change. "The Merry Company" is

Glass;" who is said to represent the
son Of Rembrandt, who was named
Titus There has been considerable
discussion as to whether Titus is
holding in his hand ring or a mag
nifying glass, but the preponder-
ance Of opinion favors the ring
theory. In spite of this, the title of
the picture has never been changed,
for, as Dennis says, what difference
does it make ?--adding that q title
is highly unimportant adjunct to
any picture.
'An Old Woman in an Arm
chair" is the final picture on the
north wall, and in this instance,
he title is fully explanatory. The
picture, indeed. is Of an old woman
sitting in an armchair, but it is this
portrait that has led to the suspicion
hat Rembrandt, as painter, was
equipped with q dual personality.
From its tranquil and matter-of
fact appearance, one would little

Other Painters

1t has become increasingly an
parent while we have been rambling
along that it will be impossible to
get within the brief compass of
this chronicle a mention of more
than small fractional part of those
pictures which are in the first six
galleries Of he Metropolitan. That
means that a great many painters
who should be cannot be mentioned,
but fortunately, since almost all of
them are dead, it is not probable
that they will write q letter to the
editor.
But that by no means lessons
the inclination to say something
about Albert Cuyp, NicoIaes Macs.
Gerard Dou, Meyndert Hobbema.
f'rancia, Giorgione, Bernard van
orley, Dirk Bouts and others
whose work is more vital to the
Altman collection.
1t means that for the present
nothing can be said about ths
George A. Hearn collection, which
ls a wonderland of pictures, many
Of them by American artists.
1t was on this very spot that q
-hunderous debate began between
Dennis and the chronicler which
hinged about the desire to meet some
Of the people in the pictures. Den
mis- says that has nothing to do with
the proposition. But he is not an adj
mirer Of John W. Alexandcrs girls.

ders holds on his knee young
woman of none too modest appear
ance. They sit before a table on
which are all sorts of food and
drink and a stein with the signature
F. Fl. in gothic letters. Two men
are standing back Of them; the one
at the right leans on the chair back
and looks down at the lady with an
expression which shows that they
understand one another. The other,
with q wooden spoon stuck in his
cap, yawns as he holds his hand to
his face. Falstaff and Doll Tear
sheet at the inn of Dame Quickly,
one would say, with Poins and Bar
dolph looking on"
Hals's insight into character stu
alton is wonderful. He is we'll aware
that the gentleman on whose
knee the lady Is parked IS at a dis
tlnct disadvantage, which is the out
growth Of more than the mere fact
that he has about his shoulders a
string Of sausages, picked herring
and pigs feet. However much that
may affect the general proposition,
the nub of the situation is that the
lady has her back to the gentleman
whose knee she has consented to
ornament, and thus from a strategic
point of view the advantage is all
hers, for she may flirt as much as
she pleases and will never be de-
tected, unless, by chance, the gentle
man can read the back of her neck.
Critics suspect that Halls may have
learned these important facts
through his association with the
Harlem Society of DesWyngaerd-
tranken, Of which he was a member.
One can suspect almost anything Of
Harlem.

Spanish ART

In the adjoining gallery one comes
upon Diego Velazquez. Velazquez
was born in 1899 and moved out in
1860. One of the most pretentious
Of his pictures is Of Philip ~ of
Spain. Velazquez was in his twenty
sixth year when he painted this pic
ture, and while he portrays the king
as a tall, outstanding figure of
man with great breadth of shout
der, he has not done so we'll by the
face, whose too full lips do not sug-
gest power and decision.
I'm that day." said Dennis, "the
portrait painter painted what he
saw"
However that may be, it seems to
be a fact that Velazquez's prices
were reasonable beyond complaint.
