Americans often come to us to adopt
children when they visit London. A

The annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Arts, which usually
occurs about this time, will be held in
Boston this year. May Is, 19 and 20. it
being the custom of this national or:

NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS
New Portrait of Secretary Mellon View the Corcoran
Gallery of ofArt-Paintngs by Marjorie Phillips at
Phillips Memorial Gallery

whom, through spirit and character,
her work is allied. OF Pierre Bon
nard's work there are on view three
comparatively new eXamples-new
that is, to Washington visitors-a
figure study, a Marine and a land
scape.
In the catalogue of the exhibition
in Baltimore it is noted that the works
are selected from 'the experiment sta
ton of the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery," and it should be remembered
that in putting all of these works on
view Mr.. Phillips is affording the peo.
pie of Washington opportunity to
share in the experiment through
which cotemporary painters are be-
ing tested. The exhibitions at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery invite not
merely sight but thoughtful contem-
plation.
A T the Arts Club of Washington
- there is now on view in both
upper and lower rooms an exhibition
of work in handicraft by members of
the club and of the Washington So.
cietv Of Arts and Crafts. There are
more craftsmen represented and a
much more comprehensive showing
thlS year than last. The general char
acter Of the showing is, perhaps. also
better. On the walls are hung tapes.
tries. weavings, batiks and drawings
On the floor against the walls are
screens. In the cases are jewelry,
metal work, book binding. needlework,
work in leather, etc.
Some of the jewelry, leather work
and book binding attain to a high pro-
fessional standard. Special commenda-
ton should be given to the work of
Marian Lane and her pupils in this
department. Lydia Bush Brown shows
a very interesting and decorative silk
pamela conventionalized mountain
landscape admirably adapted to and
interpreted through the medium Of
batik. Mrs. Hayes shows excellent
leather work, work both well designed
and skillfully executed. A frame con-
tanning landscape slides, beautifully
colored, by Mrs. Brenizer is a feature
of the exhibition. The jewelry and
metal work of Ferruccio PM is ex-
tremely fine, but. of course, Mr.. PM
is a Florentine Of exceptional talent
and training.
1t is encouraging that such a num-
ber Of really capable craftsmen are
working here in our midst. 1t is a
Evening star., 1927-05-08

engaging, works to which one must
accord high praise.
In all of Mrs. Phillips work there
is to be noted a keen appreciation of
color values, a delicate sense of re-
finement and esthetic sensibility.
One Of her landscape paintings, will
more Dam" shows an interesting
study Of undulating country. in which
the lines of successive hills, the rise
and fall Of the land. has been inter-
preted in rhythmical order. The pat
tern of the landscape, and an at
tractive pattern. is likewise set forth
and emphasized in "Encircling
Woods" These are both distant views
studies Of outdoor effects close at
hand are to be found in "A Little
Garden" and Mountain Ash Tree, -
in both of which figures are intro
duced.
Mrs. Phillips belongs to that school
Of painters which strives to get away
from actual representation in art and.
instead, to provide the onlooker with
suggestive material tending to esthetic
reaction. Her painting invariably
has naive quality which rings true,
and for this reason is particularly
alluring. The actual shapes OF things
do not concern her; it is the atmos-
phere that they create that she re.
creates and interprets in her paintings.
A collection of 40 paintings from
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, Sc
lected by Mr.. Phillips, has lately been
shown in the Baltimore Museum of
Art. This collection comprised works
by Arthur B. Davies, Matisse. Max
Weber. Maurice Sterne. Walt Kuhn,
Rockwell Kent, Georgia O'Keefe,
Bernard Karfiol, .Peppino Mangravite
of this city, Marjorie Phillips, Stefan
Hirsch and other expressionist
painters.
An Introduction to the catalogue ian
explanation of expressionism) was
provided by Mr.. Phillips, from which
the following is quoted
'EXpressionism in pictorial art
aims to do for the mind what inn
pressionism is content to do for the
eye and the visual memory
The expressionist deals not in per-
cepts but in concepts and in ideas
peculiar to himself When he looks
at nature he is not interested in what
appears at the moment for all with
eyes to see but in what he alone is
thinking about and in what equiva'

Netherlands Wooden

sion. There are approximately 5000

mainly farmers, who are employed
during the Winter months.
Consumption of wooden shoes in
the Netherlands is difficult to esti-
mate. but it Is believed that those
who use them purchase on an aver
age of five pairs per year. Some
wear this type of shoe all the time,
While others wear leather shoes, ex-
cept when performing duties such as
work on canals or in dairies, where
the wooden shoes provide protection
against dampness.
Wooden shoe manufacture is con-
Quoted chiefly in the homes and small
establishments. The cost of produc-
ing one pair is approximately 80
Dutch cents, while the cost of manu-
facture in Belgium is considerably
lower. AS a remedy for the depres.
sion. the Dutch woodworkers sug-
gested the establishment of an import
duty of s per cent, but this was re-.
Jected by the Parliament, due to con.
sumner, opposition.

Philippines Pythons
Enact Role of Cats

Pythons are wont to inhabit Philip
pine buildings and, playing the role OF
cats, are often welcome to lodgings
above the ceiling. One grows accus-
toned to a python's blind lunges after
the rodents. The ceiling heaves and
bellows, the rat squeaks and the
snake dimes, then sleeps. But Manila
has developed objections to this pro-
vincial custom. Two harmless 20-foot
pythons with almost Unsuitable appe-
tites have been killed this Spring in
Manila. OF course, the city has other
snakes, like the hostile cobras, that
home in the opera house. They make
the audiences restless sometimes v'hen
the whining of a violin or the sob of
cello charms them out of their lairs.
On such occasions musicians may
think Manila unappreciative of their
genius, when, in fact, Manila Is just
little distracted and fidgety about the
snakes, and would, under other cir
cumstances, respond to the music
with rounds of applause.

Rose Perfume Harvest
Is Ready in Bulgaria

With roses blooming again in the
Valley of Roses, the Bulgarian peas
ants are about to pluck the leaves.
The perfume of the flowers will then
begin its long journey via Paris to
a fair ones corsage. Though produc-
tion is lower than before the World
War, the peasants gathered about
5000 tons of rose leaves in 1926. But
these leaves produced only a little
more than ton and half of essence,
two-thirds of which came from the
modern distilleries and the rest from
the peasants primitive stills. Prices
for raw leaves and essence have been
increasing constantly. During 1924
the peasants were paid about 61a
cents for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of
flowers; last year 10 cents. Before the
war a kilogram of essence sold for
$3.50. Now the price is about $500.
High prices have caused the French
buyers to look to Morocco and the
south Of France for their supply. Also
the French perfume industry, although
tripled in capacity, uses less essence
of rose, allowing chemistry to sup
plant natures products.

little discouraging, however, that in
such an exhibition as this a higher
standard is not set and maintained.
One of the great handicaps under
which handicraft in this country has
iabored is a misconception of quality,
both in design and workmanship.
Hand work derives it's real value from
individuality expressed through as
near an approach to perfection as is
humanity possible, not through eccen-
tricity attained through the medium
of irregularity. There are to be found
in this current exhibition instances OF
excellent workmanship poorly en-
ployed for the rendition of poor de-
sign, and there is some good design
spoiled by poor workmanship; but the
former error is more frequent than
the latter. Hand and mind must work
together to attain worthwhile ends,

out of natural colors and shapes, dis
torted freely so as not to be mis-
taken for things instead of thoughts.
His response is not to light and air
as an end in itself but to lighter and
darker areas of local color as colored
shapes for a pattern, and as thought
compelling or mood-producing agen-
cies of emotional self-expression. He
can express himself through almost
anything if he is sufficiently pos.

which directs his course"
