woman prettlly attlred IN dark blue
and seated in a Hongkong chair. The
seeming tonal dissonance Of the blue
gown has no doubt been purposely Of
fered to accentuate further the abun-
dant lights. It. is, nevertheless, q
fascinating bit Of color with interest
ing decorative possibilities.
G. Albert Thompson, who, like Mr.
Davis, is an all-year-round resident OF
the village, has three paintings in the
show, Of which "In the Valley" is
likely to be considered the most i'm
portant. In this picture the artist
presents another of his we'll drawn
and strongly painted panoramic scenes
of Mystic or Noank. All three are of
the paysage. "Fishing Boats, Sunset
and "Up Mystic River" are both done
in manner that differs considerably
from that Of the first mentioned can
vas. The last named is done in q
nocturne mood, and into the softly roll
ing water Of flood tide is reflected a
richly Illuminated twilight sky and the
silhouette of a distant shore.
Lester Boranda, who also has spent
the summer so far in this vicinity,
gives this show his customary touch
of fancy with his isle of Content
decorative treatment of bright
blue rocks rising in the distance out
of misty olive tinted sea, an orange
gray crag in the left middle distance
and a foreground of brown and blue
cliffs on tho precipice Of which two
battling goats are balanced, while
above them white sea gulls gracefully
circle. Mr.. Baronda also exhibits his
study of the entrance to the waiting
room in the Pennsylvania Station, New
York.
"By the Seaside" and "Along the
Beach, arc the titles Of the two bath
ing girl paintings contributed by Ed
ward Potthast, NJ A. Both canvases
are in the painters usual style, brill
liant in color, alive with action, and
they have decided touch of vogue
They give the show a. needed note of
life.
Julian Joseph, who has been working
here all summer painting scenes along
the shores and the river front, shows
a sancly painted group of old fishing
boats Deached on the river bank and
others that arc anoat. The details OF
craft, water and shore he has rendered
with fidelity to form and color.
AS in all of the summer colony
shows, the collection of nearly a hun
dred sketches in color on view in q
room below the gallery Is, in Its
way, of more interest to the painter
than are the finished paintings. All
the artists of the colony who have sent
panels to this department of the exhi-
bition, besides those already men
toned, are Frances Davis, Stuart l.
Fletcher, w. Sherman Potts, Frances
Orr, Henry Hill Selden, LII. Dudley
G. Victor Grinnell, E. Kenneth Bates
Ernest H. Barnes, Frank M. Moore,
Carl Lawless, Parker 8. Perkins and
Josephine Gesner Raul.
LEO REMY HAMMOND,
"If the object Of the Imperial Wax
Museum Is to give to those who were
not there, and to future generations, q
true picture Of the theatre Of war and
the conditions Of the battlefelds, then
no part Of 1t is more helpful than the
Army Medical Section, in the southwest
gallery" says The London Times. at
is not the collections Of equipment and
implements which mako the strongest
appeal. Turn, for instance, to David
Baxter's water colors, and look espe.
cially at three which deal with the
Menin Road.
"Is there any name which stands TO,
more in the war on land than does that

With what longing for four years we
traced it on the maps; how we pushed
out along the nearer end Of it from
Ypres; scattered off it into the mud and
she'll holes when the Boche guns got
to work on 1t, and then, in 1918, one
actually went along it for its whole

time and another, the r. A. NJ. C. must

There was no yard OF the surface of
the Menin Road that was not worn by
the passage Of our ambulances; no spot

we'll that its memory should be per-
spetuated in these paintings made on
