RANKED HIGH WITH ARTISTS

The death of Miss Anna Seaton-
schmidt is serious loss" said Mis-.
Leila Mechlin, Washington art writer
ana art critic, today. She was edu-
Gated IN the convent of Notre Dame
ana her love of art was instructive
ana her writings from the first had an
unusual literary flavor During her
glr!hood her parents took up their
residence here, and although Anna
Seaton spent several years in France
Italy and England, and numerous
winters in Boston, she always consid-
cred this city her home.
she was a close friend of Eliza
beth Nourse. and Rodin counted her
among the friends he held in highest
esteem When some OF his writings
were to be published in English he
chose her as his translator. She also
knew well Puvis de Chavannes, Bes-
nard and the leading French paint
ers of their time. When Lamordant
the Breton painter. blinded and Grip
pied in the great war, came to this
country a few years ago, it was
Anna Seaton Schmidt who was chosen
to interview him and give his mes
sage to the world.
Had Keen Critical Sense.
"She had great reverence for
genius. which, coupled with a keen
critical sense and large sympathy
admirably equipped her as a writer
on art. In writing of artists she
invariably set forth their personality
put she never violated a confidence
nor the canons of good taste-she was
never personal
She had great innocency, a belief
In all that was good and fine in the
world and in those with whom she
came In contact; she gave herself
without stint to help others: to know
OF a wrong was to strive to correct it
She had an altruistic, public spirit:
money values meant little to her: she
closed her eyes to ugliness and feast
ed on beauty. She loved her work
she had abundant mental resources of
pleasure, and while she seemed 10
live in world of her own, she was
amazingly practical and had a rare
sense of proportionate values
For years she contributed regular
ly as special correspondent to the
Boston Transcript, and her writings
have been published in the Atlantic
Monthly, Century Magazine, the
American Magazine of Art, as well
as in other periodicals. She has lee
tured here before the Wa shington So
ciety of the Fine Arts. at the Chicago
Art Institute, in Boston and in many
other cities.
ter Pilling, she spent many sum-
mers at Gloucester and she was well
known and much beloved by the
members of the artists summer col

defatigably for French relief, and
since she has done much toward Sc
curing sufficient funds for the resto-
