mostly sketches, vague. invertebrate

and we note particularly Morten's ap-
PROBATION of it. He had something of
the instinct for good painting which
marked Inglis, the fair for quality
which dlsregards subject, scale and
what not, and considers only the appeal
of paint, we'll handled He cared moth

century ago, as a school, but he had
the wit to see how beautiful, how un
usual in its sweet suavity, was the
"Blacksmith's She'd of Courbet. Theo
dule Rlbot was hardly the type of painter
one would look for in Morten's pol-
lery, but, since he figures there, it is at
least in his Family Group" one of the
most singular and fascinating illustra-
tons of his singular art we have ever
seen.
Morton, unlike Inglis, had his lapses
MS incomprehensiblc moments. How
otherwise, arc we to explain the pres.

the charm Of unconventional style and
personalized technique, to the charm of
the artist letting himself go" as dis
tlnguished from the artist engaged in
facile picture making. The Morton
pictures, like the Inglis pictures. make
an atmosphere remarkable alike for
freshness and for something which we
can only term oldfashoned Does this

mean simply the freshness that be

The pictures at which we have
glanced (Which are to be sold in the

part of the space at the American Art

Moore was deeply instructed con-

The Memorial Arch

There is one precious principle to be
observed as regards the memorial arch
now rising into temporary form at
Madison Square-thc principle of MAX
ing haste slowly, which has more than
once been stated on the editorial page
Of The Tribune. 1t is good to know
that this is recognized by the designer,
Mr.. Thomas Hastings, himself He sees
the wisdom of leaving this matter open
until the city has had plenty of time
in which to weigh its merits and de-
merits. Meanwhile, the temporary arch
affords, from its site, perfect OPP
portunity for the sderation Of the
very important question as to whether
this kind Of monument is in harmony
With the genius of the country. Is
there any form Of architecture more
typical of the country than the sky

The Allied Artists

The painters and sculptors calling
themselves the Allied Artists of Amer
lea have Enthusiastically come to stay"
They have opened their annual exhibi-
ton at the Fine Arts Building. and it
is the sixth they have held. There is
vitality, apparently, in the idea of max
ing an exhibition out of pictures chosen
by the artists themselves, without the
Intervention of any jury Of selection.
Nevertheless, we are made to feel this
season, as we have been made to feel
before, that this alliance effects no
unique purpose, produces no assemblage
Of remarkable pictures such as could
not have been brought forward in any
other way. Indeed, the weakness of the

The Art Alliance of America has
opened an attractive exhibition of an
tique textiles lent by the Needle and
Bobbin Club. Taken in connection with
the modern hand decorated textiles
entered for the Albert Blum contest
and hung in adjoining galleries, it sug-
gests IN happy way the close relation
OF the antique with the requirements of
modern textile design At the same
time it shows the wealth of inspiration
to be found by modern designers in the
velvets, brocades and embroideres in
private and museum collections. Three
Gothic pieces, one a ruby-red pome-
granate pattern, and two bold strips Of
orocade OF cut velvet interviewer with
gold thread, are very attractive; also
detailed and restrained design Of Cop
tic and Egypto-Syrian art. In the main
gallery is hung a fine batik scarf de-
signed and executed by Richard l..
Marwede, which won the prize given by
the Needle and Bobbin Club.

Samuel Halpert is showing collec-

HIS park and street scenes are delight
fully true and luminous. In pictorial
balance and fiuency he still seems ham

theoretical preoccupation. He is stilted
and stiff. 1t seems a pity. With so
much light and color in his work a
lighter. more gracious handling of his
material would be doubly acceptable.

were entertained at the Louis Allen
home, and young mems class was
organized for the Sunday school.
The members OF the class selected Mr..
Allen for their teacher. Sunday Is
were on hand for class study. This
is an excellent move, as one of the
weaknesses OF the Sunday School for
a LONG time has been the lack of d
class where young men could be
made to feel at home. Now there
is a place for them. Mr.. Allen Is an
exceptionally good instructor and a
good student himself.
