A great many persons who have been
reading about the contents of old King
Tut-ankh amen's tomb in the Valley of
the Kings, at Luxor, have been wonder
ing why on earth all those things, pre-
cious and otherwise. were stuck into the
place; and particularly why mummiied
launches of venisOn, mummified baked
ducks, legs of beef and legs of lamb,
mummified vegetables, cakes and bread,
and, in fact, a whole mummlded restau.
rant was included.
Next to these hiP bly, preserved, but
surely unappetiZlng VIandS, curiosity has
been aroused as to why so many seem
ing toys should also have been placed
in the tomb, side by side with wonderful
jewels, robes, alabaster vases and SINH
lar treasures. These toys represent all
sorts of human activities.
There is, for instance, a toy boat about
five feet long. in which little wooden
OarSmen sit at the oars, and around it
are a fleet of small boats in which are
other 0aIsmen and attendants. There
are beautifully carved wooden figures
shown in the act Of making bread,
cooking. cleaning out the palace, win
moving grain; there are miniature harp
players and other musicians; there are
tiny, s%cantiIy clad ladies, and, in fact,
fgurines representing every one of the
people who conceivable could be busy
about and in the palace of an ancient
Egyptian king.
Yet every one Of these objects had a
certain specific eason for being put in
Tut ankh. amen's tomb. Every one of
them was designed for his PLEASURE. ease.
comfort and safety after death.

A T the Washington Arts Club to-
4 day are opening special exhibit
tions of etchings by w. H. Bicknell
of Winchester and Provincetown,
Mass, and of water colors and etch.
ings by Thomas S. Handforth of
Paris, France.
Mr.. Handforth, young artist not
yet in his thirties, is a native Of
Tacoma, Wash. but a pupil Of
Charles w. Hawthorne, to whom, it
will be remembered, the first Clark
prize and Corcoran gold medal have
Just been awarded. During the war
Mr.. Handforth was stationed in
Washington as an anatomical artist
with the Medical Corps. At the close
of the war he went to Paris to study
and has lived there since that time.
He has, however, travelled extensively
in various countries of Europe. His
first one-man exhibition took place
in Paris a year ago and received
warm praise from both French and
American critics. He is, indeed, hailed
as one OF extraordinary gift. At pres.

lists, "a nlodernist." as DR.. Brinton
says, Sin the vein of Derain and
Picasso."
Donghi is Of quite a different stamp.
A young man. born in 1897, he has
made, it is readily seen, a painstaking
study of the art of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. He has car
ried the art of simplification far, and
he has done amazing, If not beautiful,
things. His Fortune Teller" is not
only tremendously impressive work,
but as painting has a curious, stereo-
scopic effect. His waSher-women are
homely but powerful. "The Table
Is Set" and THE Stairway" both show
an astonishing use of unimportant OBJ
iects to establish scale. In the one
instance il is q loaf of bread which
occupies the center of interest; in the
other a group of fresh-laid eggs. Here
is. without doubt, an original mind
held reasonably in check by an artts-
tic sensitiVenesS to beauty and a re-
spect for competency in craftsman
ship. Donghi is an admirable drafts
man, good colorist, an efficient
modeler; in short, an artist of unusual
and original talent.
Depero, Prampoiini and Balla are
all arch futurists. The first two use
natural forms to convey progressive
meaning. They are not painting what
they see, but an idea or group of
ideas, and one may get what one can
from their works. Balla goes a step
beyond this and uses pure geometric
form and color to express, symbol
cally, sensations. as, for instance, his
Sensation Of Spring" In his own

might be said to be the Sargent of
Italy" For 40 years he has held

Boldini's famous portrait Of Whistler,
which is owned and has been lent by
the Brooklyn Museum. To an extent
it is Whistlerian in character. Boldini
studied first under his father in Fer

however, come to him in London.
Then, in 1872, he went to Paris, where

cosmopolitan painter. Two smaller

Whistler.
On the opposite wall hang a group
of paintings by Ferruccio Ferra5zi,
one of the most interesting of the
painters represented. Born in Rome
in 1891, we are told that he copied
old masters for time under the
guidance Of his father and then stud
led under famous masters at the In
