Therefore, it IS not surprising
that through the medium of pre-
senting the life of a queen mother,
a segment of this history should
stand interlaced as a background
as totally necessary to the story
of the queen mother as would be
the story of the queen mother to
a history.
In this instance it is Catherine
de Medici. Catherine, in whose
mind burned first a desire to head
a matriarchy that would extend
with her children's marriages
throughout Europe. Catherine,
who lived to see this dream fade
and to give birth to another and
that Of personal advancement
such as no other queen mother
had ever attempted.
Mr.. Milton Waldman can well
be accredited with a good book.
In the first place he can be COM
plimented for picking such a sub
ject on which to hang the beauti-
full portrait of his fine words.
France has always been a STIR
ring theme, France with her loves,
her battles and her wars.
Mr.. Waldman opens his volume
with that period in history when
Catherine de Medici became a
widow. He closes with the acces-
sion Of Henry ".
He has written of a period
filled with drama. It's events
crowd one upon another in great
waves, each one with extremely
important consequences. They are
indicted with true literary skill.
They are brought alive again.

Etchings Win
Praise

Etching is one Of the arts for
which American artists need make
no apology. American etchers
have moved in Overwhelming Cir
cles Of beauty and skill, and of
these, among the best is Morris
Henry Hobbs, whose work will be
shown in a special exhibition, be-
ginning Monday, at the Division
Of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian In
stitution.
A preview of the exhibition
demonstrated without question
the reason for the many prizes
and honors which have been be-
slowed on Mr.. Hobbs since his
first print was accepted for eX
hibition by the Brooklyn Society
Of EtcherS, in 1927.
Mr.. Hobbs displays a variety of
interest in the selection of his
subject matter and various tech
niqueS with which he experiments
successfully in the production Of
many types Of prints.
Having been an architect before
he was drawn to etching, he has
great fondness for architectural
effects in his prints, and many
etchingB Of cathedralS, great build
ings and just plain houses are
masterpieces of beauty. He has
gone to France for much of this
phase of his work, where he pro-
duces the beautiful Notre Dame de
Paris and the quiet villages with
consumate skill.
Some of Mr.. Hobbs most skill
full work is done in a series which
he calls postage stamp prints"
q group of eighteen miniatures
in which his fine drawing is sin
gularly effective.
Etchings, drypoints, engravings,
aquatints, mezzotintS and soft
ground etchings- has them
all, with greater inclination to-
ward drypoints.
Mr.. Hobbs spent many years in
the practice of architecture be-
fore he was lured by drawing in
copper. Since the days in which
he studied with American and
British artists in Etaples, France,
his work has been exhibited in
most of the annual shows of the
eastern, western and southern art
centers of the United States. as
well as in the Chicago galleries
and Art Institute.
He is represented in several
permanent collections, including
the Smithsonian Institution here,
and his work has appeared in
''Fine Prints of the Year" in 1880
and in 1885, and again in Con
temporary American Etchings",
1881.
Director and member of the Chi
cago Society of Etchers, Mr.. Hobbs
is also a member of the Northwest
Printmakers, the Cleveland Print
makers, the Toledo Tile Club and
the North Shore Art League.

Mr.. Benet was speaking of the
volume recently published by
Thomas Caldecot Chubb entitled

Now Mr.. Benet seems to know
what he is talking about. If you
open the book to the first offer
ing "Cliff Pace" And if you like
hunting or if you don't do any
hunting and you like dogs, you'll
like the narrative verse about CHI
and his dogs. For instance he
boasts:
"She wasn't the OnlieSt one. Hit
was like I say.
I've seen him take one Of these
sportsman dogs
That cost two hundred dollars,
and had no sense
And stay with him, and work
with him, and handle him
Until he done had learnt him
nigh enough
To make him worth half what
they paid for him.
If you ask him how, Cliff never
had e'er an answer
Except to smile, and twist his
face, and say:

expect 1 fools them
I make them think 1 know more

All the Dogs
Of My Life

Elizabeth, who will be fondly
remembered for the publication
of elizabeth and Her German
Garden" as we'll as the widely
read "The Enchanted April and
the recently-published novel, "The
Jasmine Farm" devotes her latest
book to dogs.
It's the sort of book you'll want
to give to your neighbors, even
though their airedale tears up
your tulip beds. It'll be equally
perfect for that couple in the two
room apartment whose bulldog
makes visiting a terror for tim
orous guests. For Elizabeth loves
dogs, has no illusions about them,
and knows whereof she speaks.

says, "to remark that though
parents, husbands, children,
lovers and friends are all very
well, they ar" not dogs. In my
day and t;Irn having been each
of the above-except that in
stead of husbands I was wives
know what am talking about,
and am we'll acquainted with
the ups and downs, the daily
ups and downs, the sometimes
almost hourly ones in the thin
skinned, which seem inevitably
to accompany human loves.
dogs are free from these
fluctuations. Once they love,
they love steadily, unchanging-
Nv, till their last breath.
"That is how 1 like to be
loved. Therefore I will write
Of dogs"
No reviewer could think of a
better endorsement for her book
She goes straight to the heart OF
her subject. And if you don't
watch closely she'll go to yours
too. -

Critic Wants
To Know
'my?'

There comes a time, when we
view some of the effusions of
the proponents of m o d n n
American art, when we are
forced to ask "Why?" -. -.
Why do some of these young
people, on whom possibly the
future of American art de-
ponds, feel the call of the
bizarre?
Why do they feel called
upon to paint with such a
minimum of feeling?
Why do they insist on painting
at all, as matter of fact?
Sometimes it's a little discour-
aging to realize that in this great
country of ours where there is so
much beauty to be idealized, so
much squalor to be pitied and so
much hatefulnesS to be satirized,
that our artists should idealize
the squalor, pity the hatefulness
and satirize the beauty.
Yet, in looking at the Autumn
Exhibition at the Phillips Me.
mortal Gallery, a collection Of
paintings from artists in Wash
ington, Virginia and Maryland,
the inevitable question presents
itself; "Why?"
In it, there are many works that
deserve praise, really worthwhile
pieces, where artists have either
arrived or are showing promise,
but they are so far outnumbered
that the impression on complet-
ing a tour of the exhibition rooms
is depressing rather than Stimulat-
ing.
Exceptional

always had a soft spot for the

genthau done by David Silvette;
Charles Dunn's "Cellist" is
lovely thing with much warmth
of color; Bernardo Bryson has
done two pieces that are breath
taking in their realisE-; PrentlSs
Taylor has sc"eral fine works to
demonstrate his versatility.
But they are only seven, and
though there are others whose
work may with these seven sur
vive some of the tests Of time,
they don't account for the 124
pictures in the exhibition.
Too Subtle?
There are scores of both oils
and water colors in the show that
sound lovely on the program, beau
tiful names that give rise to many
hopes. But in many instances, the
titles seem to be a great variance
with the subject matter, or else
they are too subtle for the ordi-
nary mind to comprehend.
"A horses a horse for a that"
as Robert Burns would have said,
but if the painting of him makes
him look like A Man Standing on
His Head on Forty-second Street,
you can't blame some people Tor
being a little confused.
There are many with subjects
of beauty from which the artists
worked, but hope Of faithful re-
production in artistic compost
ton and color dimmed when
brush touched canvas.
All this may sound bit harsh,
but every man to his taste, and
this critic just happens not to
like certain phases of American
art.
In addition to the paintings and
prints in the exhibition at Phil
lips, there are several noteworthy
pieces of sculpture by Elsa Hutz-
