Of industrial and applied art. Under
the farsighted direction of John Cotton
Dana It has consistently kept in the
van OF the movement for museums OF

color and considerable feeling for the
correct use of the medium. 1.-THE High

ton may find Mrs. DraytonS water
color drawings now on view in the
kingore Galleries more difficult to
classify than any others they have seen
this winter, but II is well to remember
now that "Krazy Kat" has been digni-
fled to the extent OF having a ballet
dedicated to him by our most distin-
guished composer. that drawings de-
signed to amuse the great American
public are being looked at more care
| fully by our highbrows than ever before.
Mrs. Drayton's drawings are frankly
comic and succeed In making people
laugh. Many who laugh. however, are
unaware or the incessant little touches,
observations Of human and animal life,
that abound in them. The droll little
children with their pop" eyes, their
apple cheeks and Sits OF mouths are
droll of course. but in addition there
are the furtive kittens that lap up the
milk the terrified urchin has just spilled
and the mice and puppies and other cute
animals that scamper through these
pictures and are instances of true and
original art.
The burlesQues OF the "Blue Boy" and
the Duchess OF Devonshire" are divert
ing enough, but this artist Is at her best
in such drawings as THE Private View"
in which a young prude is perturbed at
the sight OF an extremely young person
going in wading and in that other
drawing called First Love-" in which
some engaging animals practice this
art. while perched unsteadily upon a
tree limb.

gayety and unconccrn of the paintings
that our early artists used to use deco

what not. A larger composition and

there Is also dazzling group or flower
pictures.
The etchings of Whistler lose no par,
of their attraction for the public, as may
be proved once again by the throngs
in the galleries Of NJ. Knoedler & Co,
where q large collection OF prints by
this master has just been placed upor
view. 1t contains etchings from ths
celebrated series devoted to Venice, Il
France and to the Thames. Amons
them are many rare plants that collec-
tors know how to value. Including
