with strange weakness. Did he draw
his figures Of the seasons from the
model? Perhaps. But the process
leaves his line wanting in nervous
force One thinks of Boucher's con-
ventionality in the drawings mentioned
above and of the technical authority
which informs it. Burne-Jones is not
precisely faccid, but he comes perilous-.
ly near it. His charm lacks the in

Men have arisen to work the revolu-

from the nude, drawings which arc like
so many proud hosannas of the
flesh" made for no other reason than
that the master rejoiced in the beauty
of the human body A kindred enthu-
sasm supplies the key to the activity
Of Mr.. Davies. In lithographs, water
colors and drawings he models ex-
quisite form, varying attitude and
gesture as though with the turning of
kaleidoscope. He has done it before.
His ardor is inexhaustible. Inevitably
there are moments in which felicity
eludes him. No one could make so
many studies and invariably strike
twelve. But the average of successes
is higher on this occasion than in any
previous exhibition. Never has he been
so swift, so fluid, so lavish of eloquent
line, so steadily imaginative in quality.
The drawings in which line is delicate
ly heightened by color form precious
little group by themselves. They are
valuable contributions to the cult
about which we have been writing to-
day.
The Autographs by Mr. George Bel
lows just placed on view at the Mont
ross gallery to supplement his show of
paintings are mostly familiar prints,
but there are some new ones, further
impressions of the prize ring They re-
affirm his command Of the medium
The sheer power which he uses on
canvas is equally manifest when he
tackles the stone. But it is somehow
adjusted to a finer conception of tone
His blacks are glorious. AS he lightens
the key he only makes it more beau
tiful. The tenderness which we miss so
sorely in his painted surface comes
out again and again in the silvery
nuances that he achieves through lith-
! ography. One forgets his sledge-han
mer blows in color as one savors the
refnements he develops in black and
white.

Fashion
How 1t Has Developed the Cult
for Drawings

For long period the drawing has
been kind OF Cinderella in the world
o. the American collector. 1t was not
wholly neglected. The Metropolitan
Museum had drawings in its collections
years ago. But these, derived from
various scattered sources, did not indi-
cate anything like a we'll founded ap-
probation in the United States. When
American wealth began to find its way
into the picture market, after the Civil
War. it was confined to the picture
market, with occasional excursions into
the field of sculpture. Nor were its
earlier adventures calculated to enlarge
the general view. Lovers of the works
at the old Dusseldorf school were hard
y' likely to be inspired to go after
drawings. Contact with the French
Salon was no more fruitful. We liked
the pictures that told stories. To care
for the drawing enc must have a feel
ing for technique for its own sake.
Hunt had it, when he discovered for
America the Importance of Millet and
the other Barbizon men. Samuel p.
Avery had it, and so had Daniel Cot
tier, the other wise dealer to whose
mlnistrations we owed so much in the
SOs. In Cottier's old place on Thirty
fourth Street there were always few
drawings on the walls, and some OF
thpm cold
to collectors. But the rage for paint
lngs went on to the exclusion of black
and whites.
The impressionists followed the Bar
olzon painters, and then came the old
masters, of all the schools, the Dutch
nrst, afterward the English and French,
and at last the Italian and Spanish.
-lhe record is so full and rich that the
absence from it of the drawing might
seem to be almost negligible detail.
Aa matter of fact it was much to be
dsplored, and We can recall the sense
ol difficulty with which we used to
urge the Importance of the subject
more than twenty years ago. Signs OF
change began to declare themselves
when NJ. Doucet started in Paris his
society for the reproduction of draw
ihgs. Not long afterward a similar or
sanization was created in London, the
Sasari Society, and later a third body
came into view at Frankfort Doucet
especially was indefatigable. He

the only departure from the current
mode. His single drawing recalls the
eighteenth century school and even an
earlier tradition, the tradition Of Van
Dyck. The rest are for n clean-cut
statement of the thing seen. Thev are
ooservant and they are we'll trained
On their training we are inclined to
place the emphasis. In these days of
slipshod or self-assertive "moderristic"
craftsmanship it is a comfort to en-
counter workmanlike drawings.
The English drawings we have thus
tar had in view are portraits or studies
OF form, works suggestive of no pic
torial intentions. There follow a num-
Der OF illustrations which point to the
pronounced decorative tendency of one
wing of the school In Beardsley it
leaps to the eye" A drawing like his
'Mendelssohn" is entirely an affair of
pattern, developed with brilliant tech
nical skill. Conder's Identification with
the same motive is not go sharply dis
closed in the example shown, but it is
perceptible. The decorative hypothesis
Is we'll in the foreground when we ar
rive at the drawings by Dulac, Rack
ham and Kay-Neilson. They work for
the printed page. They are illustrators
pure and simple. But they are amaz-
ingly accomplished craftsmen; they
know the potency of line as we'll as of
color, and within the scope of their
patterns there is, besides, the play of
life. The Rackhams of the school. as
we'll as the Orpens, have travelled far
from the immobility of Burne-Jones.
Before we leave the English artists we
must note the presence of one or two
landscape men, D. Y. Cameron, Muir
head Bone and that water colorist lit
tie known in American galleries, Her
cules Brabazon. They round out a
singularly happy presentation.
Several Frenchmen are included.
There is fine landscape with figures
by Legros, there are several character
istic drawings by Degas, and there is
striking example of Rodin. But the
shining master in the French contin-
gent is Forain. He in his turn throws
precedent overheard. Like John and
Orpen, repudiating the lifeless mode of
the Pre-R -Raphaelites, he forswears all
academic predecessors and "keeps his

there is nothing on earth more fas-

Charlton Lawrence Edholm is making
an exhibition Of oils and pastels at the
Civic Club. Here and there he shows
work of good color quality such as
the landscape Clouds and City" and
"A Midsummer Day" but in general
his tones are cold and raw. His blues,
upon which he draws too frequently,
make murky effects Of otherwise in

DIFFERENT BREEDS OF HENS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds,
general-purpose breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very ac-
tive, quick to mature, producers Of
white -shelled eggs, usually nonsitters
or at best but poor sitters, and rather
poor mothers, say poultry specialists
Agriculture. The varieties of Leghorns
and Minorcas are good representatives
of this class. Because they are poor
sitters some other breed, or at least a
few other fowls, should be kept if nat
ural methods of incubation are to be
employed. On account of their early
maturity it is not uncommon for indi-
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age of four and One-half
months. These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active breeds,
and are rather sensitive to low tenn
perature because Of their large combs
and wattles.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large roasters.
They are slow and somewhat sluggish
in movement, have little desire for
foraging. are easily confined by low
fences, rather slow to mature, persist
ent sitt,.rs, and rather Indifferent lay
ers of brown-shelled eggs. Many poul-
trymen, however, are getting vpy fair
egg yields from them. The Rrahmas,
Langshans and Cochins may ne men

The general purpose breeds include
fowls which are Of fair size and which
will also produce good quantity of
brown-shelled eggs, making item es-
pecially adapted to the persda wish
ing supply of both eggs artH meat.
As one has to make frequent sales Of
