The local art of Cleveland is es-
SentiaHy modern, but it is in nowise
grotesque. The instant one enters
the gallery wherein is set forth the
local exhibition one is conscious of
joyous color, youthful vigor and great
vitality. This is as it should be, for
art is perennially young and life
giving. The art which the Cleveland
painters set forth possessed the spirit
of Springtime, which the visitors to
Cleveland last week found pervading
all out-of-doors.

No one SO far has adequately de-
fined modernism in art. A near ap-
proach to the best intention of the
modernists was found, however, in a
statement made by Mrs. Perkins, Of
the Boston Children's Art Center, in
explanation of the instruction in
drawing given therein. She said that
the aim of the teachers was not only
to train the eye and the hand but to
see to ii that in making drawings the
children succeeded in keeping the
Jump in Johnny; I'm short, that the
children retain in their drawings, az
they became more sophisticated, the
sense of motion, the vitality, the liv-
ing quality, which instinctively the
drawing of child shows. The mod
ernists, although they may not have
known it, have fnstinctively endeav-
ored in their works to keep the lump
in Johnny" and when they have sue
ceeded in this ambition and made 1t
conform to that which is best in all
art they have set 4 new standard.

Ready made gowns will appear at
court functions this season for the
first time. The innovation, the idea
Of which was imported from the Uni
ted States by court dressmakers to
suit the purses of some of their GUS
toners among princesses and peer
esses, also includes the purchase of
dresses on the instalment plan.
According to the dressmakers,
many youthful daughters of earls and
dukes were the first to welcome this
economical solution of their reduced
clothing allowances. and a rushing
business has resulted among those
modistes who have taken up the
plan. For $50 the young women have
been able to find exclusive models de-
signed and executed by artists of col
or and the scissors. whereas a few
years ago they would have paid two
or three times as much.
Some of the court dressmakers,
this season, have, abolished the old
time custom of sales by appointment
only and because of the keen COM
petition in their line of business, are
willing to serve customers any time
they appear.

TO ovERwHELM EVOLUTION

The theory of evolution Is to be
done to death; Williams Jennings
Bryan has been selected for the task;
an eminently fitting task. He has
convictions respecting evolution and
has announced them. 1t is great
asset to have convictions-some-
times. The fellows who have been
convinced the world is fiat have con-
victions.
Mr.. Bryan has a habit of having
convictions. He had them respect
ing free silver. He was sure that
bad money never drove out good. ex-
periende to the contrary notwith-
standing. He now has convictions
respecting the enhancing value of
real estate which he may hold in
Florida and eloquently lectures other
folks respecting those convictions.
Between whites he seems to have
acquired the conviction that evolu-
ton never evoluted. that it is fig
ment of the imagination infiamed by
satanic influences. There is no evil
dence that he ever attempted to
verify his conviction by comparison
with the facts. That appears to be
one of the few things Mr.. Bryan is
incapable of doing; indeed, 1t seems
never to occur to him that there pos
sibly may be some necessity of doing
this. Besides he could not be ex-
.pected to find the required data in
the Thesaurus or in the dictionary.
Mr.. Bryan. as all know. has quail
fication other than convictions,
namely the gift of eloquence, which
would not cruelty humanity on a
cross of gold but came near cruelty
ing it on cross of baser metal. AS
boy Orator of the Platte" he was
herculean; advancing years have not
reduced his verbal output or diverted
his imagination with facts. Can
anyone be so credulous to suppose
him incapable of obliterating all
traces of evolution that may have
been craven deeply in the geologic
formations? Whatever the glacial
period may have eroded from the
record of the Pleistocene any trace
left behind will simply be. hidden
from light by the volcanic outpour-
ings of this man of convictions-and
