There are intimate touches in this
painting by the distinguished coten-
porary American artist. One little
sock is missing. one little hand curves
around the mothers finger. The lay
man. IMMERSED in the Technology of
artists, unequipped with a knowledge
of values" the problems of palette,
will find in this painting much that
he can understands sense of salts
faction which he can carry away.

IN a nearby gallery there is second
painting of maternity by a we'll
known contemporary American. 1t Is
typical George de Forest Brush,
Mother and Child" This is a theme
to which he devoted himself for many
wears. An admirer of Brushs paint
ings of motherhood instantly recog-
niZes the artist when he pauses before
this group. The mother stands with
her sturdy child in her arms, her left
hip raised slightly to support the
weight, after the fashion of mothers.
A high-necked, full-sleeved gown of
red is unrelieved. Large, contem-
plative eyes look out upon the world
which pauses to consider her child. A
touch of color is introduced by the
artist, who is also a parent In the
Child's chubby little hand is bril-
liant red apple
One of the largest canvases in the
Corcoran Gallery is called La
Famille." 1t was executed by Leon
FHermitte in 1908. The layman who
delights in the narrative painting finds
much to interest him here. 1t is the
hour of the midday rest. Round about
lies a wheat field. The workers have
paused to seek a brief respite. The
oxen are being tended by peasants.
Presumably one of the men is the
husband of The young woman seated
on the ground. BY her side are
little son and "grand-mere. In her
arms lies her infant, asleep. The
brush of this modern French painter
executed the painting primarily in
soft tones of browns and yellOws.
Here again Is emphasized the love of
mother for child, and the beauty of
infancy.
An appealing canvas, called I'm
terror of a Cottage" interprets the
same theme. In this instance the
artist is the great genre painter,
Jozef Israels. He has appropriately
been called 1.-The Dutch Millet." His
tender understanding of the life of the

Christ Child. rests In the straw be-
side the manger in which sleeps her
little Son. Her eyes are raised as IL
in answer to a salutation. Her hands
are outstretched, evidently In sup
plication. One can almost hear the
words: BE 1t unto me according to
Thy Word" A beautiful drapery Of
blue falls over her head and
shoulders. Her garment is the ira
ditional red. Beyond the manger is
an opening in the stone wall across
which are beams in the prophetic
form of a cross. The Star of the
Nativity sends it's rays through the
window. In the shadowy background
stand three figures, overcome by the
miracle of which they are witnesses.
Farther along the stairway is a
painting called Mary, Jesus and
Joseph" The Virgin stands sup
porting the Christ Child. who rests
on the lap of St. Elizabeth. The
elder mother raises reverent eyes to
her young kinswoman. Against the
knee of st. Elizabeth rests her own
little son, toward whom the infant
Christ leans playfully. In the back
ground hovers st. Joseph. a loving
hand resting on the youthful st. John.
An especially beautiful painting is
that by BefnarulnO Lulnl. LHe uIS-
tinguished Milanese artist. His de-
light in interpreting Madonna and
Child is always evident. In this in
stance the Christ Child steps forward.
tenderly supported by His Mothers
hand Her robe is of red and her
mantle of blue lined with dull orange
and bordered in gold thread. Her
light brown hair falls in CurlS over
her shoulder. The composition is
pyramidal in form, reminiscent of the
work of Leonardo da Vinci This
recalls the tradition that Luini
studied under the master, but there
is no actual evidence of his having
done SO.
An original Raphael. or a repro
duction of his work by an artist
whose name is unknown, is entitled
THE Holy Family" In it are found
anachronisms such as are present in
dozens of paintings of the Madonna,
executed in the Renaissance. FOr
example, the Madonna holds in her
hand small book.) The background
is Il delicately painted landscape. In
the group which constitutes the Holy
Family are the Blessed Virgin, the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-12-19

poor, his great compassion, are two
factors which won for him this title.
IsraelS ranks among the first Of the
modern painters. In this instance he
has painted the interior of a peasants
cottage. To the left is an open
window which, if one is lover of
Vermeer, reminds him of certain
windows in his canvases; those which.
from the left, admit a flood of light
upon a contrasting setting. Here an
abbreviated white curtain f1utters in
the breeze. Below is a rough table
decorated with kettle and f1owerpot.
Across the foreground extends a
rough crib Within lies a sleeping
child. BY his side a peasant mother,
sewing. Homely? In the obsolete
sense Of the word. But. by the
alchemy of the wonder of the theme,
beautiful.
1t is said that of all the interpre
tations of the Visitation, that by
Albertinelli is the greatest. The lay
man on Christmas pilgrimage bent
will find a reproduction in color on
exhibition in the prints division of
the Library of Congress. Perhaps
from the standpoint of painting. it is
correct so to evaluate the canvas by
the italian artist. Since the days Of
St. Luke (Who, tradition says, was
himself a painterl many have been
the artists who sought to perpetuate
on canvas or in marble the event
called THE Visitation" A :
In ancient Pistoja, walled town
of Tuscany, there is the original of
the group-the Blessed Virgin and
ST Elizabeth at the moment OF
their meeting-executed, it is sup
posed, by Luca della Robbia. Few
attempts to recreate this dramatic
scene make the appeal that does this
one. Here is Mary, who has sought
her cousin Elizabeth in the hill
country Here is Elizabeth, over
come, In the presence of Mary.
Elizabeth kneels before her young
kinswoman and exclaims: And
whence is this to me, that the Mother
of my Lord should visit me" Eliza
beth's hand grasps the mantle of the
Virgin. Mary's hand tenderly seeks
the shoulder of the kneeling woman.

American Toy Output Increases 500 Per Cent in Two Decades

far-aWay Siam, the toy purchased
nine times out Of ten, will be an Amer
lean toy. These. regardless OF type
suggest superiority, as do diamonds
cut in Amsterdam, rugs woven in Per

Whether it is the automobile, the
scooter, the doll, the doll clothes and
the doll carriage, the rubber toy, the
mechanical, electrical or educational
toy, the article is pre-eminently one of
quality. This Is not saying that cheap
toys are not manufactured in this
country. 1t is just that the pulk of
+oyg are the high-grade quality Not
necessarily high priced. although
many are manufactured with a high
disregard for ones pocketbOok, but
priced commensurate with value.
IN foreign markets our manufacture
ers sell almost altogether on
quality basis and, as rule, are not
interested or are not trying to com
pete on price basis. TINS means
that the market is limited ana that

Kingdom and to Canada that the
largest amounts are sold. Purchases
by the United Kingdom amount al
most to a million dollars But as this is
ONLY 7 per cent of the total amount of
TOYS imported by that country, it very
well illustrates the size of the mar
ket for quality toys. However, IN
Britain it is not so limited as it APP
pears, for there is good production
of British toys, and nearly all of these
are also quality articles.
over one-third Of the toys sold in
Canada are of American manufac-
ture. Our toys are also popular in
Cuba and Mexico. These two mar
kets probably absorb the largest
amount of American toys of the
cheaper grade. While proximity to
the market is undoubtedly account
able to a certain degree for the pre-
eminence of the American toy in these
markets, distance is apparently no
barrier to their sale. Australia is the
fifth largest foreign market for Amer
lean toys The Australian child likes
particularly our rubber toys, dolls
and mechanical toys. In Australia
there are a few factories making toy
wheel goods of the cheaper grade.
From the mother country are pur-
chased those of better quality. But
those of a high class. particularly in
toy automobiles, come from the
United States.
Australia is not the only proof that
distance does not matter. India
South Africa, New Zealand, the Phil

toys. In all of these rubber toys are

the mother of Mary. Tradition re
lates that the parents of the Virgin
died when she was a small child, but
artists frequently disregarded the
legend and introduced St. Anna into
paintings of the Madonna,
COVAERT FLINCK. Dutch
painter of the seventeenth cen
fury, executed the canvas called Ma
donna and Child" The dark hair Of
the young mother is in contrast to the
blond hair of her infant. At sleeve
and neck Is a fold of white, which re
lieves the harsh outline of her robe.
The Christ-Chil is seated upon a
scarf of white which falls across the
red mantle. One small hand rests
lightly upon that of his mother.
In the Harriet Lane Johnston collec-
ton, National Gallery of Art, is an
appealing Madonna by an unknown
artist, executed In the style of Cor
reggie. The background is a broad
strip Of tapestry against which glow
the nimbus of the Madonna and of the
Christ. Stately pillars serve almost
as frame for the portraits.
Sebastiano Mainardi of the Florin-
tine School is represented by Virgin
and Child with st. John and an Angel.
This is circular painting, "a inches
in diameter. An angel bearing the
annunciation lily stands beside the
Virgin. The Child. seated on Mary's
lap, raises His hand in the sign of the
Trinity. The little st. John, child OF
Elizabeth, completes the group. The
caressing hand of the Virgin links
the "Forerunner" to the Christ, who
is supported by her long slender fin
gers. An exquisite bit of landscape
carries the eye to distant hills.
THE Holy Family with st. Eliza
beth" is by Peter Paul Rubens. 1t is
interesting to note that the portrait
of St. Elizabeth is that of Rubens
mother. The background of the paint
ings by the two Flemish artists. Var
| Orley and Rubens, are in striking
