tain pen and an EVerSharp pencil.
Business men and women, college
and high school students, find a foun-
tain pen and an Eversharp pencil in
dispensabIe. Grade school pupils
down to the first year, take great
pride in owning and using an Ever
sharp pencil.
Then, of course, everyone has a GER
tain amount of home correspondence
to take care of.
1 saw at the Zercher Book & Sta
tionery Store complete assortment
of three standard makes of fountain
pens: Waterman, Shaeffer and Con-
kiln, and every style in size and finish
of the Eversharp pencils. They are
sterling silver. silver plated, gold and
gold plated in plain and engraved de-
signs. There are pens mounted in
gold or silver to match the Eversharp
pencils-making d complete set of
writing equipment.
For men, the pocket clip is at
tached to both the pens and pencils,
and ladies can wear them on a ribbon
run thru the ring at the top.
Both the fountain pens and the
Eversharp pencils are ideal Christmas
gifts. Don't forget that Zercher s
have them for sale.

meth Hayes Miller and Arthur B.
Davies, until one perceives that the col
lection, despite omissions, is remark
ably comprehensive SO far as it goes.
One perceives also the factor to which
we have alluded, the force of person
aiity and Of honest workmanship.
Beauty is not always understood as it
is understood by such men as Thayer,
Dewing and Weir, but neither is it, in
general, flouted or ignored.
The pursuit of beauty lies at the
heart of this whole matter of the Junior
Art Patrons of America and their en-
trance into the picture market. They
come upon the scene, as we under
stand it, to promote the interests of
art both in the studios and out of
them, to encourage artists and stimu-
late the buying of pictures. In what
is commonly known as "the morgue" an
admirable lot of prints has been as
sembled, and these etchings and litho-
graphs, modest in price, may we'll lure
the budding amateur into habits of
collecting. But in their Offering of
opportunity the Junior Art Patrons
also assume heavy responsibility If
on the easy hypothesis that the liberty
of the artist must not be curtailed,
that the collector should be permitted
TO make his choice, that ideas of cen
sorship are intrinsically abhorrent, the
exhibitions are to be turned into hap
py-go-lucky, free for ali affairs, the re-
suit will not be benefcent and educa-
tional, but just the opposite. There is
no cowardice more deadly than the
kind which balks at standards, by
which we do not mean the formulas
of one school or another, but the fun
damentals of artistic workmanship. By
insisting that the works they exhibit
shall be adequately painted the Junior
Art Patrons need have no fear of ex-
Guiding talent. Genuine talent always
takes pains to learn its trade.

George Bellows
A Group of His Lithographs,
Old and New

Mr.. Bellows has not been particular
iy happy in his disclosures as painter
this season. The circumstance makes
1t the more inspiriting to observe at
the Keppel gallery his doings as a,
photographer. They give one a posi-
tiveiy refreshing sensation of technical
virtuosity. In note prefxed to the
catalogue he alludes to the fact that
work upon the stone demands "a mar
riage of science and art" and speaks
OF the knowledge of chemistry and
physics required, Of course. But it is
when he speaks Of the lithographer's
needing "a very special love of the
work" that we come closest to the
secret Of his own success. He draws
on the stone with all Of the gusto that
we have SO often observed in his paint
cd work-and with good deal more
of that magic Of touch which spells
complete initiation into the heart of a
medium.
His blacks, which are the first to
show lithographer's skill in attack,
are magnificent, but appreciation deep
ems as we watch his handling of grays.
of al those delicate half tones and
aeeting modulations which make the
stone source of aesthetic Joy. The
print which is, we suppose, the most
popular ever made by Mr.. Bellows, the
Murder of Edith Cavell,' is duly
shown once more and we SAVIOR again
its richness of color, the bloom rest
ing upon it despite it's portentous
scale. But for the fine flavor Of his
photography we would urge the reader
to consider even more cxhaustively the
various heads of children, like the
"Jean," and the little miracle in the
definition of textures called Emma,
Arrangement" These exquisitely re-
veal the craftsman's mastery over an
enchanting form of artistic expression.
We wish there were an enchantment
of style, of feeling, to match that which
attaches to Mr.. Bei!ows's Autographs
as technical triumphs~ But apparently
he is dedicated too whole -heartedly to
the depletion of what is prosaic in life
to care a straw about what is poetic,
what is beautiful The print called
Reducing" is representative Of the
taste reflected in the show as a whole.

pean pieces are mostly of the minia-
ture order, tiny paintings rich in de-
tail and usually bare of leads. They
are characteristic, they are historically
interesting and sometimes they are
beautiful. In the main, however, these
speciments are lacking in the charm
which belongs to the sixteenth century
English work shown, which predomi-
mates in the collection. 1t is heraldic
work, q series of souvenirs of the
British peerage. One coat of arms fol-
lows another in an endless array, all
alike in scale, but differing not only IN
design but in coloring 1t is the color
that makes them glorious, deeply glow
ing notes of red, blue and yellow, with
occasionally heavenly bit of pearly
gray. A few religious fragments recall
the emotional strain which counted SO
profoundly in the Lawrence glass.
But it is in the heraldic group that the
strength of this collection resides.

Ellen Er,nnet Rand
Her Recent Exhibition of New
Portraits

Absence from the city prevented ex-
animation of Mrs. Rands exhibition
ct the Durand-Ruel gallery until the
very eve of it's withdrawal, but the
subject has an interest justifying
reference TO it now. Some years ago,
when this artist made her first ap-
pearance in local galleries, the vivid
ness of her characterizations and the
crisp dexerity she disclosed commanded
warm appreciation. Along with her
unmistakable merits there went an un-
fortunate thinness of tone. In later
exhibitions this slowly mosed into a
subordinate relation. What makes her
latest ventures attractive is the disap-
pearance from them of the old brittle
quality. Her portraiture to-day is as
veracious, as vitalized, in the matter
of character as it. was before, and it
is markedly more artistic. Partly this is
discernible in the minutia of tech
New-York tribune., 1921-05-15

nique. The heads, especially in her
portraits Of men, are more solidly con-
structed and painted with a subtler
touch in the nuances of modelling.
Her color everywhere is purer and
deeper in quality. But where she has
particularly lifted her work to a higher
plane is in the broader development of
a,subject, giving it fuller and more
interesting pictorial significance.
The point is most obvious, perhaps,
at the piano, another of two sisters
seated side by side--in which a deco
ratiye composition was determined
upon for it's own sake. In these it has
been interesting to remark the liberat-
ing effect upon the artists color. With
purely aesthetic problem to solve, she
has let herself go, with results de-
lightfully forcihle and varied. In por-
traiture, strictly speaking, she is not
always so successful One of her
groups, the Children of Mr.. Edmund
A. Lynch" is a curious example of un-
certainly handled values, the scattered
white tones playing havoc with the
unity of the piece. But this is dated
1917. In the portraits of subsequent
years the harmonies are kept beauti-
fully intact. This is notably the case
with Mrs. Rand's best canvas, the "Dr.
Walter B. James,: Everything in this
registers a sure and swinging control
over the composition--the fixing of the
pose, the powerful drawing of the
head, the sound treatment of form
