that reminds that the painter her
self is one Of those few who knows
enough to never say too much-erring
If anything-and wisely-on the other
side. In her water colors she has dis
tinctly the magic touch-holding her
medium in command, yet utilizing its
utmost potentialities. The people she
paints are to a degree imbued with
her own personality, poignant but
reticent, courageous but gentle.
"I do not know about modern an" I"
she says, some Of it interests me very
much. some ! do not understand-but
that may be my fault-I'm glad DO
not have to Judge it." The fact Is
she Is both modernist and tradition
alist-holding fast to the old but
reaching out to the new. Her Negro
subjects, done last Winter In the
South. are rhythmical. suggestive.
symholic-and to that extent modern.
Her portraits, on the other hand, are
rendered with close study and great
fidelity. Her grotesques-such as the
painting in oils of an old woman with
a cat-"Tomorrow and Tomorrow
have a ghostly creepiness but at the
same time a note of humor, like q
Halloween prank. She paints cats
admirably. But particularly tender
and appealing are her portrait and
figure studies of children, botL in black
and white and color. In these Miss
Belcher Is at her best. No wonder
she wins prizes.

and her work is never labored, but
she-like Emil Carlson-sees within
as well as without. and it Is the spirit
which dominates. In her portraits
the color is good, the pose usually
pleasing. but it's what they tell Of
the person portrayed that gives them
lasting interest. And that subtle
thing may be, and often is, in the

IF THE anti-noise campa1gners are
successful our twittering nerves
may calm themselves. But the
i strain on the brain cells Is likely
to increase. When the great silence
sets in the lost art Of conversation
must be rediscovered. Which means
that a lot Of people will have to
think Of something to say in hurry
people who, up to now. have been
getting by with mere mods and smiles.
There is nothing SO restful as con-
versation, provided you don't have to
listen attentively. And in the present
welter of city sounds it Is impossible
to listen attentively for any length OF
time. The safest thing to do Is to set
your features in an expression Of
eager understanding, with your head
slightly on one side in a position which
might indicate either doubt or agree
ment. Keep the eyes bright and hxed
on the speaker. Above all, keep the
eyes open. Then you are free TO let
the mind wander where it pleases.
But once the protective screen OF
outside noise has been removed from
q conversation, your responsibility Is
q listener is increased . hundredfold.
At any moment the talk may stop
abruptly on the query, well, what

stands naked and unashamed.
