The National Association OF Women
Painters and Sculptors, which recently
made it's regular annual appearance at
the Fine Arts Building, will have an
other show next month. This will be
at the Ferargll gallery and will be made
up Of smaller paintings and sculptures.

before Christmas.
There may be seen at the Knoedler
Gallery portrait Of NJ. Clemenceau
painted by Manet In 1s79--a beautiful
study in blacks and grays. 1t has, OF
course, a poignant personal interest
just now, but the striking thing about
it is the light 1t throws upon the paint
er's magnificent grasp Of his art. At
the Metropolitan Opera House the other
night we studied M. Clemenceau's head
and physiognomy through glasses. Turn
,, ing to the portrait we find Manet re-
corjing the structure of that head
more than forty years ago in such wise
that his truth Is to-day unmistakable.
There is something uncanny about the
fidelity with which modelling and draw
ing proclaim the unchanging facts Of
Nature.
The Knoedler Gallery Is preparing

Ainslie gallery, adjacent 90 room oc-
cupied with water colors by Dee Beebe.
good half Of his paintings are we'll
done and reveal development. Bernath
is not given to fireworks. He has g.
natural ability in the use OF water
color and makes his thin coIors count.
He likes to paint the ocean and coast
line enshrouded in gray mist. A strong
impression in this vein Is his "Gulls."
1t Is stormy surf picture looking
down into cove, with sea gulls soar
ing low over the eddying gray water.
Another such atmospheric subject Is
tho gaunt oak tree rising above a misty
coast line. His moro colorful subjects
include his "Eastport," village and
other similar landscapes. Their soft
modulations OF tone is carried on In
charming still life of flowers.
The larger exhibition here by Miss
Beebe consists mainly Of convention
ally presented scenes from Holland.
Switzerland and America. Her flowers
and a couple Of New England fishing
port scenes are dono with skill and
familiar appreciation. Her European
subjects, however, smack Of the tourist
lanes Of travel. They are such usual
ones as an Alpine village with its tow

Use, the windmill of Holland and the
quaint doorway Of a town hall in Delft

escapes the casual eye.
The public is invited to an exhibition
OF landscapes in water color by John

What the Louis Comfort Tiffany
Foundation has been doing the last three
years for deserving art students is re-
fiected In the large exhibition of mem
bers' work, which continues at the Art
Center until December 12. 1t Is an ex-
hlbltion of prospect If not Of absolute
accomplishment. Among the forty or
nifty exhibitors who have sent close to
two hundred paintings, drawings and
sculptures, many have acquired distinc-
