Indians were conquered in 1898

wood blocks that adorn the pages Mr..
BiddIe also translates from Tahitian
legends, and one Of them, foretelling the

Another thing that people who 90 to
Tahiti do and which Mr.. Biddle mas not
yet done is'to write. 1t usually takes
the photographed form, and usually

why the author prefers not to publish 1t
during his lifetime. Had the G1uguin

trating the aims Of distinct schools OF
painting TO appreciate American art and
to foster in them the collecting instinct
There have been adults who have ac-
kno wledged frankly that their art edu-
cation has been neglected and who,
therefore, have asked 10 be admitted TO
the association. For tie youngsters It
is hoped that the opportunity for eon'-
parisons that the exhibitions to be given
in the various cities. will foster in them
a natural discrimination. The young
collector, innocent Of market values and
ephemeral cults. will exercise an unbt-
ased choice. In order that the educa-
ton shall be as broad and general as
possible. exhibitions Of the best con-
temporary art Of other countries will
be arranged. that the child may judge
the works OF American artists by stand
ards Of international achievements.
The entire net profits from the actiyi-
ties OF the society will revert to the arr
lists exhibiting. Some of the sponsors

portunity for a patron" for Mr. Lees
work, like Mr. CASTOR Lachaise's, IS
not the sort that can be placed at any
corner of Broadway and be perfect
At 1T demands a special setting and
is, special enough in itself to command
a setting. 1T would look mighty well
in a formal garden against green
things or under a lofty portco like
that at Florence that partly shields
Benyenuto's Perseus from the storms.
We haven't such a portico in New
York-but that's the patrons business,
not mine.
Possibly because Of Mr. Lees stay
In Paris there is an indefinable some
thing in his work that suggests far
away kinship with the productions of
Maillol and Joseph Bernard. He has
not quite the remoteness from Broad
way that they have. but almost.
Doubtless when the patron appears
and Mr.. Lee is enabled to visualize his
carvings against their proper back
grounds, instead Of seeing them all
huddled in one gallery, or packed away
as is too often now tho case in dingy
storerooms, he will give his gods and
goddesses further detachment.
1t is encouraging, anyhow, that an
American of this epoch could do gods
and goddesses at all. We had begun TO
think we should have to get along
without them, and. like the young
Maurice in La Revolte des Anges,"
who never knew he had a guardian
angel until the latter forsook him, we
did not like the idea. A Sevres vase,
or the freedom of the city, or at least a
vote OF thanks. should be given Mr..
Lee for restoring the relationship. The
