NOTES OF THE ART WORLD.

The lecture on Modern Art" that was
TO have been given last week by Joseph
Stella at the Societe Anonyme. was
frustrated by fire. A fuse burned out.
and when the lecturer and his friends
arrived they found the firemen and
police already in possession of the scene
Fortunately the damage TO the rooms
was slight. and the pictures of the ex-
hibltion and the books OF the library
were not hurt al ALL Quite n large
audience had been attracted TO hear
Mr.. Stella, and they clamored for the
lecture upon the streets, and refused
to be comforted even when assured that
the lecture would be given in the near
future.

be sold at DelmoBico's by the Walpole
Galleries on January %. 21 and %, and
which are to be on exhibition there after
the nth, T. w. Gookin, the expert, has
this TO say: Tho prints were collected
by n distinguished Frenchman. who
began 20 gather them more than thirty
years ago. As with most OF the French
collectors. his first consideration was
the artistic quality OF the design% and
in consequence. though some OF the
prints arc not IL perfect condition. an
unusually large number OF them arc or
tho kind that make an appeal to persons
OF taste. Among the nearly seven hun
dred are many OF those that collectors
speak OF as prizes
"Of prints by the so-called primitive
masters there are only few. and there
are not many by Harunobu. but among
them there arc several that will not soon
be forgotten by those who see them. BY
Tachibana Minko, an artist OF tho Chi
nese school who designed only a few
prints. all calendars for the year 1865,
there is the remarkably beautiful and ex-
trcmely rare one reproduced in color on
the cover OF the catalogue Koryusai.

Choti, Hokusal, Taito and Hlroshige are
all worthilv represented by notable
prints A large head OF woman by
TamaRawa Shucho. whose prints were
few but extremely good and are extreme
ly rare Ia one OF the gems Of the collec-
tion. The showing OF attractive prints
by Kuniyoshi and of fine Impressions Of
subjects treated In semi-European style
by Hokuju is most unusual. The large
head portraits Of actors by I<unimasa and
the very fin- Impressions OF eleven prints
OF the Shokoku Mcisho series by Hokkei
are among the important items. Atten-
tion should also be directed to the large
number OF triptychs and to the very great
beauty OF many of the smaller prints by
nearly all OF the artists named. But the
great wealth OF the collection Is In the
remarkable showing OF prints by TSiyon-
aga. Shuncho, Eishl. Utamaro. Shnralu

WOLFE JOURNALS IN MUSEUM
Montreal Institution Has Complete
Collection Of Documents Bearing
on Life of Great Soldier.

Montreal is in possession of one OF
the most complete collections in exist
ence of original journals, letters, por-
traits and effects of Gen. James
Wolfe. 1t was brought together by
David Ross McCord, and will be part
of the new McCord National museum
at McGill university. The letters
from the pen of Wolfe begin with
a boyhood epistle, dated January
"a. 1741, and addressed to his tutor,
w. Weston. 1t shows the serious trend
of the boys thoughts even at that
time, and a tendency to meditation
and philosophizing. A second letter,
written the following December to the
same tutor and friend, reveals the
other side of Wolfe's character, the
appeal of action, for in 1t he exults
over the prospects Of a soldiers life,
and refers to his having been made
an ensign in line regiment.
An original journal kept by Wolfe
from the days of his entering the army
up to a few days before the Battle OF
the Plains of Abraham reveals much
of the development Of his character
with the passing years. A second
journal of great value is the record
of operations before Quebec, written
in his own hand. This document was
lost for $50 years, was finally traced
to st. Louis, from there to the Riviera,
where the trail disappeared. Finally
it turned up in London in 1914, when
it was acquired by Mr.. McCord.

Rin Men In Small Store.

At Bears hill; near Oxford, Eng
land, there is little notion store,
which looks little different from the
usual country store, but the residents
of the vicinity patronize it literally.
Most of the residents are literary per-
sonages and one is likely to encounter
In the store any one of number of
prominent English writer's. 1t is said
on many occasions the poet-laureate
of England has been seen behind the
counter waiting on customers, and 9TH
ers visiting the place frequently are

Mrs. Welles looked at her four
daughters with an inquiring express
sion. They looked very well-very
pretty, one might say-although their
clothes were obviously last years
style and their shoes were shabby.
One noticed that they had made the
most Of old clothes. The Welles fam
lily had suffered reverses since the
death Of the husband and father. He
had been a salaried man, with four
daughters to educate and large house
to maintain. Even the house was grow
ing shabby by inches, Molly declared.

never expected we would come to
keeping boarders."
"And particularly detest prunes''
complained Cicely.
'Think of the hard work." suggested
Barbara, looking at her well-kept
hands.
1--WE might make 1t pruneless
boarding house." and Della went of
into a peal of merry laughter at her
own wit, but her charming face cloud
ed at once as she saw the disappOint-
ment in her mothers countenance.
Were those new lines on her mothers
placid brow? Lines of care and worry
with four idle daughters? Della
stiffened in ramrod way, that was
like her father.
1--WE can do II if we want to-" she
said bluntly. "We're too lazy for
words-all of our friends, rich and
poor, are working-none of us are
qualified to take up any special line
Of work and taking paying guests Is
respectable we can keep our own
home, reserve some rooms out of this
big house for ourselves. Mother can
superintend everything, can help the
cook in the kitchen, Molly and Bar
bara can wait on table and take care
of rooms at first until we can afford
to keep another maid, and Cicely shall
keep all the accounts and sew for the
rest of us. Who will join the league
Of workers."
With more or less reluctance they
all agreed, but Cicely, the clever
needle woman, pouted. "People make
such foolish jokes about prunes and
boarding houses-and oh, dear-I sup

HOW Can YOU TELL your
FAV0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell It

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of fiavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash Of pure chocolate, gives

Only Per Cent of Worlds Savers
Are Americans; French Thriftiest
Notwithstanding the fact almost 80

Notwithstanding the fact almost SO
ner cent of the worlds savings are in
this country and that the average de-
position in the United States has a
greater sum to his credit than his
,neighbor overseas, only s per cent of
the total number of the worlds savers
are Americans.
In proportion to population, num-
Der of foreign countries exceed this
nation In numbers of depositors, ac-
.cording to a statement given out by
the savings division of the United
States Treasury department.
Through centuries of struggle for
mere existence, many European peo-
piles have been trained to the most
rigid economy, while Americans have
found the fight for a livelihood COM
paratively easy matter. Until quite
recently, the average American family
operated on the plan Of paying ex-
penses first and saving what's left-if
there is anything left,''
In France, one out OF every five in
habitants has a savings account. The
economy Of the French people has
been their protection against the
"death thrusts of centuries The
drift and economy of the French peo-
