Paintings of Paris and the
Pyrenees by Gertrude Kay.

WHILE Mrs. Zimmele's paintings
are Of our own city and country,
those by Miss Kay come from afar
and take us into foreign lands. Many
Of them were painted in the Pyrenees,
the Basque country, and not few in
Paris and its environs. They are
literally portraits of place, As well As
Of people, souvenirs of travel, engaging
and delightful. Miss Kay Is an ac-
complished illustrator, and her paint
ings are undoubtedly illustrative, but
this Is by no means . reproach. The
greatest artists Of all time have turned
to Nature for inspiration and have
produced work illustrative in charac-
ter. Everything depends upon the
skill and the gift of the painter. Ger
trude Kay is obviously . talented art
ist and . brilliant technician. She
draws remarkably well, and with ap-
parent ease; her paintings are ex-
tremely well composed: her color Is
fresh and delightful. What is more,
her textures quality which many
contemporary painters overlook en-
tirely or disregard-are admirable. AZ

Waugh Gets Popular Prize
In Pittsburgh Again.

IN THIS connection 1t is interesting
to noe that Frederick j. Waugh
receive this year, for the third sue
cessive time, the Popular Prize" in
the Carnegie Institutes International
Exhibition. This award is voted by
those who visit the exhibition, and as
an expression of preference The
subject in each insta nee was a marine,
in the painting of which Mr.. Waugh
has specialized in recent years. Each
of these three paintings has set forth Q
view of the ocean, which. by majesty
and beauty inherent in itself and
made manifest by the painter. has
stirred the emotions, pleasurably, Of
those who saw them. Waugh, who is
now in his 18th year, Is the son of .
portrait painter, Samuel Waugh, for
merly of Philadelphia. and father Of
Coulton Waugh, who has made q repu-
tation for himself in the field of art.
Mr.. Waugh Is represented in the
National Gallery of Art in this city
by q subject picture illustrating the
Legend of the Holy Grail and by two
powerful marines. He Is represented
in almost all the American museums.
For once public and art experts would
seem to be in agreement.

PATRONAGE

The colored citizens of St. Paul
are reminded that whereas those
firms that recognize the value of
Negro trade by giving employment
to Negro labor, are commended,
the same zeal should withhold pat
ronage from those firms who fail
or refuse to so cooperate. Such
firm is the Citizens Ice and Fuel
Company on Selby Avenue near
Dale. It's volume of Negro bust
ness has for years been large, yet
they give no consideration to their
Negro trade in employment place
ment. This company doesn't even
find it necessary to advertise its
goods in Negro publications. This
is the result of inexcusable indif-
ference to their own welfare on
the part of the colored people.
This is a good time to wake up.
Representatives from all over
the country, the accredited spokes-
men of the various societies which
send them, individual members of
the race representing only the
aroused sentiment of the cities
from where they come, will be in
Chicago to share the deliberations
Of the most important conference
ever gathered to discuss the well
fare of its people. Minneapolis and
st. Paul delegates will be among
them. The Importance of the gath
ering should invite the largest pos
sible participation of every organ
lied body that sets itself up as a
mentor for its group.

Twin City Society Attends Reception
for B. M. Christensens

An affair, unique in the history
of Minneapolis, was the reception
rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard
M. Christensen at Phyllis Wheat
ley last Saturday night by Mt.
Robert E. Bolton.
Mr.. Christensen is connected
with the department of philosophy
at Augsburg College, and last Au-
gust took unto himself a bride.
Returning to his classes after sew
eral months of travel the recep-
ton of Saturday was by way of
welcome to him, his bride and a
large party of friends. The affair
was unique in that some of the best
white and colored people of the
Twin Cities met in a social way
that contributed greatly to their
mutual understanding and appreci-
alton.
Mr.. Bolton announced an un-
usually fine program, presenting
Frederick A. Becker in instru-
mental numbers, Miss Ella Hievaas
of the st. Olaf faculty in Swedish
and Norwegian songs, Miss Elaine
Nortz, dramatic reader, A. Gains
Thompson of the Beacon Light AID
ventist Church in several baritone
solos, Miss w. Gertrude Brown in
an interesting history of Phyllis
Wheatley, the poetess, for whom
the Settlement House is named;
Mrs. Phyllis Beskin Bearman in a
group of Jewish folk songs, and
Miss Elaine v. Emans m readings
from her own poems.
Following the program tea was
served and the guests formed into

COMMENT

The poor attendance at the meet
ing at Bethesda church last Sun
day afternoon called by the Twin
City Ministerial Alliance is subject
to a number of explanations, none
of which, however, may be accept
ed as completely satisfying.
It may be that it was not as
fully advertised as it might have
been. 1t may be that the people
are not as fully informed of the
purposes and plans of the Ma
tional Negro Congress as should
be the case. It may be that the
people are not as sympathetic
with the detectives of the congress
as its sponsors had hoped to find
them.
Undoubtedly the date Of the
meeting was unfortunate in that
it conceded with the Minneapolis
Sunday Forums meeting at the
same hour.
