An ancient and very beautiful Chin
| csc scroll painted in brown and greens
on brown silk, will be auctioned off
by Mr.. w. Biby, this evening at the
auditorium, the money secured to be
given to the Chinese famine sufferers
| The scroll is the property of Mrs.
Katharine Hand, who has contributed
| it to the fund.
Chinese scrolls are much older than
the japanese prints, which are becom-
| ing well known, and also much more
rare, as there is only one original
| scroll, or painting and there are many
Japanese prints made from one block
Hundreds of years ago, famous
Chinese artists made these scrolls
some of them depicted scenery, one
| famous one being a continuous land
| scape in which the scenes melt into
one another. Such scrolls are not
| meant to be. exhibited or looked at al
at once, but enjoyed in small portions
at a time as the painting is slowly
| unrolled. In the Oriental picture the
| ina gination of the spectator supplies
| the thing the painter hints at. 1t is
said at is not things we want in arr
| but the beauty of things which is true
| of these scrolls The Chinese scrolls
| or paintings are painted vertically an6
when finished are pasted on thicl
paper with borders of brocade mount
| ed at the ends with rollers of woot
| tipped with metal and when rolled
| they are tied round it with silk cord:
| fastened with tags of jade or ivory
| Inscriptions are made on the margin:
| by friends or connoisseurs, which are
| much appreciated.
Mrs. Hand, the owner of the scroll
| has had a recent letter from hel
| daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hand, who i:
| now in China and who speaks of the
| famine conditions saying, 1.-THE relig
| ions of the Chinese and their family
I life has not led them to think of these
