There is no lessening of sensational
events at the American Art Association.
where the Gothic art of the Lawrence
collection and the Degas paintings OF
Mr.. Seligman have been replaced by the
equally interesting Yamanaka collection
of Oriental art. There also is on view
collection of important paintings by fa-
nous masters. These last are to be sold
at the Plaza Hotel on February 8. while
the Oriental art Is to be dispersed at the
associations galleries on February 3. 4
and g.
Before the war the Yamanaka sales
were annual events and among the most
important OF the year no one who was
at all conversant with the arts felt that
they could miss them. The artists and
craftsmen of the Orient are only now be-
ginning to be estimated by Westerners
at their true merit. The interval of our
participation in the war has permitted
the Yamanaka company three years in
which to do their researches in China
and Japan, and the objects they have
brought mere will astonish every one. but
no one so much as the connoisseurs. for
in this one there is no falling off from
the high standard that has been estab-
lished, and. indeed, in many particulars
1t excells past records.
Treasures From Palaces.
Palaces of the Emperors and the
sacred places of the priests have been
forced to yield up their treasures and
1t is impossible to imagine objscts that
combine to a greater degree Ingenious
ness of workmanship with the refine
ments of taste. A single birdcage from
the imperial palace Of Pekin will pro-
vide Western artist material for study
for year, and the extraordinary fish
bowls also provide unending entertain
ment. The birdcages date from the
Ch'ien-lung period. They arc fitted with
ivory carved vessels and other ricn
utensils and are suspended from beau
tiful' lacquer stands.
The fshbowls are Of many sizes and
shapes, all OF them at once novel and
artistic in design, but the most spec
tacular Is great aquarium that en-
closes a representation of the Dragon
Palace, the fabulous undersea abode of
the greatest Of all supernatural beasts
In the Chinese highly fertile imagina-
ton. Pavilions of lapis-lazuli and yell
low Jade are neighbors of pagodas and
other structures. white Jade bridges and
white Jade boatmen await figures and
animals of fei-ts'ui jade. turquoise and
aventurine: all this beneath the water.
with brilliant goldfish swimming con-
tentedly in this fairyland. 1t is a
veritable marvel OF art.
Greater in antiquity are some precious
carvings that have come down from the
Tang period. A carving IN black marble
of the Goddess of Mercy will arouse the
interest Of the connoisseurs. 1t has~thc

tors. with q lofty expression of dignity.
An unusual piece of sculpture. dating

TWO GREAT AMERICANS

Last Saturday was the birthday of Ab- ruham Lincoln and next Tuesday that of George Washington, the two greatest Ann orleans. Their lives offer wonderful stud- ies of contrast
 Washington, the aristocrat born on a monster estate to people of gentle breeding .bosc to forsakc the ways of his class and arow his lot with that ragged army of patriots who declared for liberty. He com-
 handed thc Continental army all through hc eight years of desperate struggle and finally became first President of the Rcpub- i- Born to ease. he forsook it for the hard life of the field to help the cause that his conscience told him was right.
 Abraham Lincoln was born in the most .bicct poverty and his life from the day. he was born. was one long struggle for exist cucc. Self taught he rose through sheer force o- character from the lowest to the very highest and became the man of the hour and the great President who by his .roatucss saved the country that Washing tom had Fought Co iound
 Both men were of the greatest m their wav Both were men who were clean at heart and great patriots and both will be lonorcd as the uatiu's greatest as long as there is a nation.
 Each ouc cam furnish am example for .n, vowb of tbc lmd Lincoln by hs hIc cam prove to those who are born with the .mUrap> O. poverty and poor opportunity ina. there is nothing impossible mo heights to which a man may not rise in these great United States. Washington is am example of what thc man of family and wealth may become if he has, with that wealth and im- iv. a sense of responsibility for the WcI- fare of his country
