Kind in which she was engaged was
as adviser of the Girls Reserve Club
of Western High School OF this city.
MISS PETERSON says that the his
tory OF this department began in
1903 with the organization Of the
work for the 'teen-age girl. Mrs.
Herbert Day, now president of the
association. was the first chairman
OF this department. Miss Helen Nc
Neil is the director of the plans for
the department and Miss Mabel Cook,
assistant director. was a member of
the girl reserves and fairly grew up
into her present work.
The CLUBS are aiming to increase
the membership among both high and
with the grade school students. the
girls unite in club to represent
a group of several schools. Even in
the department stores the young
girls are forming these clubs of mu-
tual fun and benefit.
During the week end Friday and
yesterday, meetings were held be-
ginning with a supper Friday, of all
the high school cabinets st the head
quarters, s14 E street northwest
The girls in these clubs have four
character. The first is business
meeting. where methods of business
form the principal topic of discus
sion. The second is a service meet
ing where discussions of practical
charity are held. At the third. dis
cussional meeting, proper clothes for
various occasions, hygiene and simi- =
lar topics of general interest among
girls are discussed. The fourth, So
cial meeting, consists OF gay frolics
with music and dancing
In the summer time the girls have
the use of Camp Kahiert for two
weeks exclusively. and the privilege
of going there in small groups off

of the girl reserve. Is it any wonder
that their numbers are increasing
daily?

Notes of Art and Artists

has been shown here before. These
represent what might be termed the
latest output OF modernism. Ger
tainiy they are different from any
this sense essentially original Pri-
marily. they are conventionalized
landscapes, compositions reduced to
their lowest terms and set forth with
extreme simplicity, in accordance with
the best of the poster methods. Their
originality lies chiefly, therefore, in
their coloring. which makes no pre-
tense of being naturalistic, but rather
follows scientific rule. The colors
employed have in every case base
OF white. as in tempera or gouache,
and are, therefore, OPAQUE. They are
laid on, furthermore, with absolute
fiatness. without graduation of tone.
Red-violet and violet blues, cold yell
lows and gray-pinks predominate,
and the result is dissonance rather
than accord. The purpose is not to
interpret nature but TO produce deco
rative design, which may be enjoyed
for itself alone or applied at pleas
ure.
Color is like sound, and the color
scale is similar to the scale in music.
These works represent an essentially
new development. one to which we
may become accustomed, nut which,
until more familiar, to the average in
dividual is more shocking than agree
Il
accuStom ourselves to that which is
not pleasing, why should we cultivate
taste for what is unpleasant, un-
lovely?
THERE is charming and refresh
ing little exhibition of small
paintings by Edward H. Potthast now
on view in the CoScoran Gallery of
Ut r. pntf
been making q speciality of pictures
of the seashore, and the present COL
lection includes seventy-two small
paintings in oil of fascinating scenes
found on our varied coast from Maine
to New Jersey. Many are of the surf
and rocks on the splendid coast of
Maine, at Ogunquit, where there are
sandy beaches and high cliffs, emerald
pools and sapphire depths. Quite a
few are beach pictures eniivened by
Eayly dressed bathers. A few are Of
woodland scenes. All are vigorously
painted, colorful. pictureSQue--works
showing remarkable gift on the part
OF the painter, Il sureness of touch, a
keeneness of vision and. above all a
thrilling delight in the beauty OF ma
ture. > +
Mr.. Potthast was born in Cincinnati
In 1857 and studied first at the Gin
clnnatI Academy, then in Antwerp and
Paris. He has received many awards
among them the Clarke prize at the
National Academy of Design and the
silver madel at the Panama Pacific
exposition. and he is represented in
the permanent collections of the
brooklyn Art Institute, the Chicago
Art institute, the Cincinnati Art Mu-
scum, the Hackley Art Gallery and
many private collections.
