ment of interest in and appreciation
Of art, striving for something larger
than personal ends.
Mr.. williams has lately developed
q type Of portrait drawing which is
extremely pleasing, portraits a little
larger than miniatures but much small
err than the ordinary portrait drawing.
These he has done in colored crayon,
chiefly black and white, with just a
touch OF color to enliven. They are adj
mirable likenesses, intimate and per-
Sonal, and they come within the range
of those of moderate means. The OBJ
ject Of the present exhibition Is to in
troduce this peculiar style Of portrait
ure to the Washington public. It is q
style which should prove popular.
TN connection with founders week
celebration, w. B. Moses & Sons,
marking the sixty-eighth anniversary
of the establishment has arranged
a small exhibition of paintings in a
gallery on the third floor. This exhi-
billion includes works by some of our
well known American painters-G George
Inness, j. Francis Murphy. Willard L.
1NACSSoAAB Vail AeuliBAlS, q. 4kt1lk OOuSS
Guy and Carleton Virgins and George
II. Bogert, all represented in the Evans
National Gallery collection.
To have paintings of this type shown
in . department store Is not q new
thing. Twenty-Five or 80 years ago the
Society of Washington Artists held sew
eral exhibitions in a specially arranged
gallery ut Woodward 81 Lothrop's. Last
year a little exhibition of local work
was shown here at Hecht's. But it Is
an interesting effort on the part of
department store proprietors to demon
strate the place OF painting in the
home, to emphasize the value Of con-
temporary work.
A number Of extremely notable ex-
hibitions have been held in DEPART
ment stores in New York during the
past year; In fact, at the present time
the Society of Illustrators is holding
Its annual exhibition at Lord 81 Tay-
lor's in that city. Therefore IL a
gratifying to Washingtonians that one
OF our oldest local establishments Is
not only following the lead OF Others,
out Is UNFOLDING local tradition and
endeavoring to uphold it well.

are staggering. They-future ministers

Ihey dlsmantled one another's rooms.
They showed their aptitude for states
manship by playing practical Jokes on

Wrote Parodying Review.
Herriot does not confess any partici-
patton In these hoaxes, but he does con-
Tess that he wrote sort of musical
review sketch parodying Brunetiere--
one OF the leading critics Of his day
and that he perpetrated several other
stunts requiring less intelligence.
During the war, when everything was
blacklist. the city of Lyon under Her
riots direction, carried on as usual.
When the war was over and the men
returned, Herriot did the biggest thing
of his municipal career-he had the city
hire the unemployed for the construc-
ton Of parks, homes, exhibition build
ings and other structures as II there
were no crisis. The danger Of the dole
was avoided. The new buildings proved
of great value. especially for housing
the mayors favorite hobby-a recon-
stituted Lyon Fair after the model Of
the famous medieval mart. To this
day Herriot could sell the Lyonese as
slaves and they would obey him.
In his international policy Herriot
followed equally direct methods. When
he became premier of France his coun-
try stood alone. England was disguised
by the invasion of the Euhr: Germany
was outraged. Before Herriot resigned,
however. a new tone prevailed. He had
started the feeling which led to the
Dawes plan and to the Briand-Strese-
mann pact at Locarno. Although he
failed to arrest the fall of the franc,
his establishment of basis for the
present peace was the necessary prelim-
mary to sterilization.
Met Germans Half Way.
What were Herriot's methods in In
ternationaI policy? He threw over all
cant and pride of victory and met the
Germans half way. He was the first
French minister to enter Germany after
the war.
He knows that peace, II 1t is to be
permanent, must be built on under
standing and sympathy rather than
upon treaties. He was the first French
minister to speak from the lecture plat
form with q German author after the
war. On the fiftieth anniversary Of
Victor Hugos death, when an opportu-
nifty of international homage presented
itself, Herriot invited Blasco Ibanez and
Thomas Mann to officiate with him at
the exercises. His pioneering for Euro
pean peace happily unites Herriot's po-
iitical and literary interests.
Is 1t abnormal that man of Herriot's
strenuous. combative nature should try
to bury the big stick? Herriot himself
explains 1t by saying that there are so
many other combats In political life
that war seems only a. disturbing factor.
