The New York herald., 1921-01-02

What particular city she is, Mr.. Kuhn
doesn't say but as she has ripald. car
mined lips and a baleful glare from
meath pencilled eyebrows, il is SAT. 10
assume that she isn't Philadelphia. She
might be Chicago. of course but in that
case Mr. Gregg wouldn't love her. Mr..
Gregg loves only New York. He wouldn't
sti~ block from Broadway for money
So. disconcerting as the fact may be 10
some OF Us other New Workers., we may
as we'll concede that in the extraordinary
creature in the red tights and rouged
cheeks Mr. Kuhn typifies the metropolis
OF the country.
Say what Mr.. Gregg viii, this person
that he is in love with doesn't In the
least seem a fit companion for Uncle
Sam. But then out-of-towners are al
ways enviously saying to foreigners that
one mustn't judge America by New York.
1t is all very puzzling, to be sure, and
perhaps the metaphor had better be
dropped. Hear Mr.. Gregg: But some
one IN ght suggest. without seeing the
painting. that perhaps she has indis idu-
ality,' character or some of those other
endowments that help her sex on their
career OF conquest
Not at ALL AS a moralist / distrust
her just as much as / do in any other
capacity.
"Yet the picture is beautiful This is
In spite OF the fact that the subject is
not beautiful and the model fcould not
have been. The explanation is that the
beauty Is what the painter got into IL.
Another contributor 70 the RdbtboU
is Robert =. Coady, formerly editor OF
the Soj,. Mr.. Coady Is one of the most
for eful personalities in the art world
and one of the few with constructive
abilities. II is tragic to think that the
Soil cannot continue. but in the mean
time Il Is reasauring TO see that Mr..
CoaGy loses none OF his vigor. He
writes OF the situation in America ~
''It IL time Our arr. It's elements, it's

stood and that we removed the obstacle
in the way of its development. 1t is
time we did away with the hip-hip-
hooray of the politician and the senti-
mental moralisms OF the economist and
realized that the political centre and
the economic centre are things Of the
past and that the cultural centre is the
rivot OF human progress and of human
happiness that man has developed
through instinct and intelligence into
various degrees Of culture; that 1t is
his culture which dictates the kind and
amount Of his social activities. the kind
and amount of the food he eats, the
KIND anu amount OF lne ClOthes ne wears
and the kind and amount of the shelter
he wants that culture should dictate
all political and economic activities and
establish national and International
worth that culture Is the quality Of
human happiness. that happiness breeds
happiness and that the happiest race.
