''Yasuo Kuniyoshi is perhaps the only

blending of dynamic elements from two
great traditions into style distinctly

too much. No. one, glancing through

fail to note the excellence and charm

Peer and Preacher
Puzzle Boy Scouts

LONDON. Dec. SIT would appear to
be the fate of Boy Scouts the world
over to have to listen to good advice
from their elders. In England the boys
take II good humoredly and patiently
as all in the days work.
But recently a group OF Scouts must
have been perplexed. as well as amused,
when the good advice from two speak
ers did not in the least agree. The
Scouts had come to Bedford TO attend
church. The vicar, the Rev. A. O.
Cheney, addressed them. He warned
them against smoking, calling II "a
dirty and disgusting habit"
He told them to remember to keep
the Sabbath holy and not TO 20 about
making noise and disturbing the
village" (The boys had marched TO
church headed by bugles and drums.)
Nor. he said, should anything be done
on Sunday which entailed extra work
for any one. (The villagers had agreed
to entertain the visiting Scouts al tea.
The vicar said he never entertained
any one on Sundays; people should stay
at home on Sunday and help along the
activities of the church.
After the service Lord Ampthill got
his turn at the boys. He said that
smoking had been helpful to some of the
greatest men In the world. One OF the
wisest philos ophers used ~ smoke Ike
n chimney But of course Il wouldn't be
right for small boys TO smoke.
lie always entertained his friends on
Sunday, he said. He honored God by
going to church Sunday morning, but

rentry The idea OF Sunday, he told the
boys was that II should be day OF rest.
which meant abstinence from ordinary
work Manual LABOR on sundays rested

to attend a good many meetings IN hot

stone and wood like those to be seen
at Abb or st. Bertrand de Com
minges.
There is n peculiar fitness and
charm about his tone relations. He
swathes his drawings in modulations
of gray, blue, green and brown--colors
which remind one of moss on crum-
bling Gothic sculpture. 1t Is q very
reticent scheme but certainly Rack
hams own. His subject matter de-
manded this narrow gamut, but a ret
respective exhibition of his work re-
veals gradual tendency to make his
colors more intense and we frequently
find him accenting his warm browns
and tones of ivory with slight accents
OF gay color"
Rackham's style IS so well known
that there is now no necessity to go
into detailed descriptions of the pres
ent series of drawings. IT will be, per-
hape, sufficient TO indicate that the
"Daphnis," the first drawing, ] be-
lieve, to the right as you enter the
room, seems to me one of his finest
achievements to date. IT is, for one
thing, one of his simplest, and even
in the work of such a master of fill
gree as Rackham, 1t still holds true
that the simplest expression of the
artists quality is the one that in
the long run counts most. 1t con-
tains but the single figure of Daphnis
and the entwining tree poises against
blue sky of especial tenderness.
There is still another that calls
for particular notice-the one that
portrays the advancing frost. The
figure that personifies frost IS so
subtly Indicated that at first glance
IT eludes one. yet the spirit of the pic
ture is perfectly all there without It.
1t Is practically successful essay
into the abstract. The blacks and
whites are admirably distributed and
the little touches OF holly red are
sufficient to turn the design into
quite a royal Christmas card.
