those of the Nasasi Society, which

It came about that when Messrs. Gim-

tine collection they found ii worth

cious instances, and we have been par
ticularly glad TO note the increasing
attention given by the dealers TO the
drawings of modern men. This devel-
opmeNt IS, perhars, the most cncour-
aging Of all, for it indicates more Of
the taste for drafts manahip for it's
own sake. When the collector begins
to buy drawings because he likes them,
then we may feel that the subject has
been put upon the right basis.
/ There is an exhibition OF drawing

in the most delightful manner gives US
occasion for these reflections. II is
made up OF works by about d dozer

/ pie Of drawing not Only with ade-
Quacy, with technical knowledge and
authority, but with tina. admiXture OF
personal distinction which is indis-
penssble in this field. There arc
echoes here and there in the group Of
a certain interest in the great figures
Of the past. 1t is to be assumed, fol
example, that Mr.. Augustus John ha,

the exhibition for craftsmen like

architectural subjects Of the former are
superbly executed. He is the modern

great beauty Of line. Careron's sole
exhibit, "Thc Red Castle" study Of
ootn architecture and landscape, is a
noble picture. We may cite finally the
pleasing color in the little full length
portrait by Abrosc McEvoy; the suavity
of Mr.. Brockhurst's two heads; the
vivid charm Of little portrait drawn
by James Pryde, and the new, very win

but was born in Liverpool and has spent

hardly important enough to have just-
fed separate publication, but Mr.. Cor

thusiasm. There is an interesting sim

He has grasp upon form. Though he
is far from approaching the level of

and George lnness. to Theodore Robin
son and J. H. Twachtman, TO Alden
Weir, Childe Nissan, George Luks and
A. p. Davies We make this rapid
enumeration in order to give rough
indication of the broad character OF
Mr.. Phillips's taste. 1t is broad enough
to embrace all manner of schools save
those Of a "modernjst' persuasion, and
while the examples he has secured are
not of uniform excellence the average
is good Two things are especially
noticeable The atmosphere OF the col
lection, though conservative, is essen
TALLY progressive. 1t points to an in
terest in the first rate men. Secondly,
Mr.. Phillips has an ideal OF beauty, the
kind of beauty which connotes orig
inality in the artist. His object plainly
is to assemble genuinely vitaiized
works of art Why has he assembled
them? To answer that question is per-
haps more interesting. as it happens
than to enter upon detailed descrip-
tion Of the paintings on view.
These paintings are shown as a Sc
lection from collection destined for
The Phillips Memorial Art Gallery"
That gallery, when it is built. will
realize wha, the potential founder
characterizes as the dream OF a home
for all the arts. 1t is on the way to
take tang 'hle shape, but it is too soor
t. announce plans which force Of cit-
oumstances or changed conditions may
ultimately cause to be altered or
amended. At present, however, some
conception OF the general character OF
the gallery may be stated. 1t is pro-
rosed that the building, 10 be erected

preciate most about both these Eng
Iishmen is the solid character OF what
they do. the constructive feeling for

Shannon and John dominate the show
in mastery OF the figure, in pure dis
tinction. But very close to them comes
SIT William OrDen. whose drawings Of

Van Dyck is his prototype. The two
