accounts, perhaps. in part, for the
rhythm found in his compositions and
their beautiful tonal quality.
Caprice and curiosity were, Mr.. Phil
lips justly surmised, inseparable from
his mind. His was indeed, an adven-
turous pilgrimage in search of beauty,
which claimed him to the end.
Among the works included in this
memorial exhibition are Tissue Parnas-
sian," which harks back in suggestion
to the works of the Chinese masters;
Horses of Attica," which pays tribute
to the Greeks; I'm the Park" Spring
time of Delight" and Birth of Green
all joyous compositions and of our own
time.
For better appreciation of these
works and for extension of the infiu-
ence of the exhibition the Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery has reprinted Mr.. Phil
liu3' essay on Arthur B. Davies in its
recent bulletin, which is distributed
freely to those visiting the exhibition.
The Phillips Memorial Gallery, 1t
should be remembered. is open to the
public on Tuesday, Saturday and Sum
day afternoons.

THE exhibition Of water colors by
Eleanor Parke Gusts and Elizabeth
Evans Graves at the Arts Club, 2017 /
street, will we'll reward the visitor. The
works of these young Washington artists
occupy the walls of the two lower rooms
and make q most interesting and ex-
cellent showing.
Miss Gusts and Mrs. Graves employ
quite different methods. but they attain
equally, or almost equally, successful re-
suits. Miss Gusts work Is crisp, inclined
to be fiat and distinctively illustrative
portraits Of place rendered in manner
quite her own-a very pleasing manner
Mrs Graves works are rendered broad
ly. with a full, flowing brush, are
more suggestive, perhaps, of the third
dimension and are essentially atnos-
pheric. The one makes an interesting
foil for the other and the combination is
mutually advantageous.

NICOLA MICHAILOW, the distin-
guished, Bulgarian artist, who cae
to this city fortnight or more ago to
execute one or two commissions, has
extended his stay in order to accommo-
date additional patrons. Since coming
to Washington Mr. Michailow has paint
ed portrait of Mrs. r. M. Kaufman,
and he has but just finished this week
portrait of Miss Elizabeth Mohun, the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Barry Mohun.
This Is not Mr. Michailow's first visit
to this country, as was enormously
stated in this column recently, but is his
fourth visit here. Among his works
lately shown in the Gainsborough Gall
leries, New York. were portraits Of
numerous well known Americans. He
Is particularly fortunate, it seems, in
painting young people and children, and
in such portraits has been known quite
frequently to successfully introduce pet
dogs. A most engaging portrait of this
sort Is of young girl of Buenos Aires,
