detailed work of earlier years, very
significant of that consummation of
ideals and sensitiveness to beauty
which comes as the reward OF age and
effort.
Very properly this leads up to the
exhibit of Whistleriana in the adjacent
pavilion and to emphasis therein,
through exhibit in q central case, of
the great gift that Joseph Pennell
made to the Nation in bequeathing to
1t. subject to a life estate for Mrs.
Pennell, the residue Of his property,
which residue Is to constitute the
principal OF fund, the income OF
which will be available for the acqui
sition of prints and the foundation OF
photographic museum, with ac-
tivities similar to those at Paris Rome
and Madrid. just what this means it
is difficult for those not familiar with
the photographic collections Of
France, Italy and Spain to fully COM
prehend. Therefore in this central case
in the pavilion are set forth examples
of beautiful engravings issued by these
three photographic museums and OBJ
tainable today by those who love fine
things at extremely moderate cost.
With these are shown some Of Joseph
Pennelrs own etched plates from
which our new photographic museum
will be enabled later on to issue prints.
Other plates by other artists will be
procured, and thus gradually will be
built up not only great collection,
but a great source of art from which
the people individually may secure
examples. elevating standard, enrich
ing the masses.

greas, has noted In his foreword to
both the catalogue and the brochure
on Joseph Pennell, which has been is
sued for this occasion, there have been
since Mr.. Pennelfs death. April 90,
1925, several memorial exhibitions of
his works--one, notably. at Phila-
delphia, held in Memorial Hall, Fair
mount Park. from October ] to 81,
1925; one at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, from November O., 1928, to
January 2. 1927, and one at the Ameri-
can Academy of Arts and Letters,
New York, which has but just closed
Each Of these exhibitions has stressed
some special phase of Mr. Pennell's
work, and while the exhibit here lacks
some of the examples included in the
others, il is. as Mr.. Putnam has said,
In general more nearly embracing and
more diversified than any of its three
predecessors.
This exhibition is essentially selec-
tive at the same time that ii is com
prehensiye. 1t does not overwhelm
the visitor with a vast amount of ma
terial, which might have been possible.
for few have been as prolific pro
ducers as Joseph Pennell. Instead,
the Library of Congress has chosen
10 show few representative works in
each medium which MIR. Pennell es-
saved. and to show them in such wise
as to demonstrate TO the public not
only his versatility but his mastery
of medium, the wide scope of his
genius, the value and significance Of
his labors measured by the perspec.
tive of full, well-rounded life.

the announcement I'VE shall have the
continuing benefit of her expert judg-

hearty cooperation in his purposes

The material contained in the Pen

most part derived from the Library of

from the collection belonging to Mrs.
Pennell, but, to this major portion,
valuable contributions have been made
from private ownership. Among the
leaders mentioned in the foreword to

David Keppel William r. Emo, Mrs
Walter Smith, Justice Harlan Fiske

Park Lane Loses
Prestige i'm London

London real estate agents are puZ.
zled. They do not know which dis.
trict il going to become "the exclu-
sive one" So far the Park lane dis
trict--west of Hyde Park-has been
the section of London where every.
body who is anybody" simply has to
live.
To give a Park lane address to any
London store meant immediate de-
livery on long credit without bankers
or solicitors references. But Park
lane is losing it's popularity.
Lately many of its titled residents
have sold their magnificent houses,
which have been transformed by
spectators either into furnished apart
ments of into shops. and where the
shopkeeper comes, exit the noble
man."
Consequently, Park lane no longer
commands the respect and authority
1t used to get a few years ago when
premiums as high as $50. 600 were paid
by those who did not possess coro-
net for a short lease. The once ex.
elusive Cadogan place and Lowndes
street have long been invaded by "un.
desirables,''
The real estate agents are now try
ing to create a fashionable district
north of Hyde Park by offering special
terms to titled or otherwise prominent
people.

BY LEILA MECHLIN.

T%HE memorial exhibition of the
work of Joseph Pennell, which
was opened yesterday after
i noon in the Library of Con
aress with private view and
reception. is in many ways as fine
tribute to an artist as could POSSIBLY
he paid This is in every respect fit
ting and appropriate. Joseph Penneit
was one of the most striking person
alities. and in the field OF the graphic
arts. one of the greatest artists that
America has produced. And during
both his lifetime and at his death
through bequest, the Library of Con
gress was singled cut by him as the
direct recipient and custodian OF gen
erous gifts to the Nation.
Ten wears ago Mr.. and Mrs. Pennell
presented to the Library of Congress
a collection of Whistleriana which
they had assembled and which. under
their direction and supervision. was
placed on view in the southeast pa
