asset. The choruses of the Greek PLAYS
need, perhaps, to be simplified and short
cned, but they contain material which is
potent with suggestion for modern song
and dance.

the ancient Greeks painted both statues
and temples with brilliant hues, and as we
learn, for example, from the Tanapra fp
urlnes, many bright coors were to be found
IN their gracefully flowing garments. Then.
IN dealing with the stories Of Greek drama
"hich are supposed to take place before the
oa"n OF history, the greatest of license is
granted to scenic artist and costumer. Az
suggestive and corrective material there
stand ready to hand not only the we'll
known master works of Greek art, but the
more recently unearthed objects belonging
to the Minoan civilization"
The writer doubts the probability of
any ones advocating the singing Of
creek tragedy in Greek. That, obvious
ly, would be going too far. For. of
course, every composer naturally pre-
fers to set his music to a libretto in his
own tongue" But this offers no obstacle

From, "Reve5lIe"

"HE APPLE has not come to its per-
lection this season until the middle
of May; even here, in this west
country, the very home of the spirit
of the apple tree! Now it is, or seems, all
the more beautiful because Of it's lateness
and of an April of snow and sleet and east
winds, the bitter feeling of which is hardly
yet out of our blood. If l ever recover the
images of all the Towering apple trees 1
have ever looked delghtedly at, adding
those pictured by poets and painters, in
Guiding that one beneath which Fiametta is
standing forever, with that fresh, glad face
almost too beautiful for earth, looking out
as from pink and while cloud Of the multi
tudinous blossoms-f I could see all that
I could not find match for one of the
trees of to-day. 1t is like nothing on earth,
unless we say that, indescribabe in its love-
illness, it is like all other sights of nature
which wake in us sense Of the super
natural.
Undoubtedly the apple tree seems more
beautiful to US than all other blossoming
trees, in all lands we have visited, just be-
cause it is SO common, SO UNIVERSAL
mean in this west country-so familiar a
slgnt 10 every one from infancy, on which
account it has more associations of tender
and beautiful kind than the others. For
however beautiful it may be intrinsicaly,
the greatest share of the charm is due to
the memories that have come to be part of
and one with 1.-THE forgotten memories
they may be called. For they mostly refer
to far period in our lives, to our early
years, to days and events that were happy
and sad. The events themselves have faded
from the mind, but they registered an emo
ton, cumulative in it's effect, which endures
and revives from time to time and is that
indefnable feeling, that tender melancholy
and divine despair" and those idle tears"
which gather to the eyes at the sight of
happy autumn fields and all lovely natural
sights familiar from Of old-from ones
own early years.

~ NE of Americas most dstin-
guished painters and art critics
died on Monday Kenyon Cox
has left strong imprint upon American
art. His genius was mural painting. But
he wholesome contend-even better
than he painted. His style, as reviewer
put it some time ago, is notable for care
full organization and deft expression,
leach word filed down to the closest
meaning that the author may deal the
more lucidly with his many abstrac-
TONS" Which does not, however, mean
that he dealt only with distractions. For
instance, in volume of essays entitled
Artist and Public" published in 1914 by
Scribners, Mr.. Cox addresses himself to
the question: "Is there an American
School Of Art?" To quote him:
"1n the catalogues Of our museums you
may find entries like this: John Smith.
American school; the Empty Jug or what
not. In such entries little more than bare
statement of nationality is intended. John
Smith is an American, by birth or adoption;
that is all that the statement is meant to
convey. But the question occurs Have we
an American school in more specific sense
than this? Have we body Of painters with
certain traits in common and certain diff
ferences from the painters Of other coun-
tries? Has our production in painting SUI
ficient homogeneity and sufficient national
and local accent to enttle it to the name of
American school in the sense in which there
is, undoubtedly, a French school and an
English school? think the answer
must be in the affirmative.
1--WE have already passed the stage of
mere apprenticeship, and it can no longer
be said that our American painters arc mere
reflections of their European masters.
Twenty, or even ten, years ago there may
have been some truth in the accusation.
To-day many of our younger painters have
had no foreign training at all, or have had
such as has left no specific work of a par
tlcuar master; and from the work of most
of our older painters it would be difficult to
guess who their masters were without ref
crencc to catalogue. They have, through
long work in America and under American
conditions, developed styles of their own
bearing no discoverable resemblance to the

words. And if she, Simonnc, had not
been able to read the tenderness in his
looks and had not understood the mean
ing Of his furtve hand clasps, perhaps
the poor lover would never have ven
turcd to express himself.
Fortunately, she had comprchcndcd.
And one evening when they were alone,
without exchanging word, they had
plighted their troth with kiss.
Simonne smiles at this recollection.
But some one knocks at the door. The
housekeeper enters, letter in her
hand.
"Here, mademoisellc," she says. at
is for YOU"
Then she rctircs.
Simonnc gives a start on looking at
the envelope. The handwriting is that of
her beloved.
Now the seal broken, this is what she
reads:
Simonne:
have never said to another. and /
have never said to you: ct love YOU"
Listen! You have seen sometimes on
dark nights brilliant flash of light
In the heavens. That light, dimming
the stars, has compelled your attcn-
ton. All the other radiance with
