is thoroughly her own. The Childish"
quality Of her children is to be noted
in such details as backs of legs, set of
heads, gestures of chubby hands. The
simplicity of her little compositions
and restrained use of her sensitive line
are in harmony with the subject mat

A number of Miss Ryerson's etch-
ings represent children playing on
musical instruments. The simplest
children to keep still, she said, are
musical children, for whom radio and
singing work magic. Preoccupation ,
with piano and violin produce the most
unconscious posing any artist could
want. Miss Ryerson started to paint
settlement children one Winter, when
she taught hundred little Italians
in an East Side church school; she
has subsequently sketched all kinds
Of children, rich and poor, and OF
various nationalities. Consequently,
she has some interesting comments
to make about them. She has found
Jewish children, generally, the most
musical, as they will listen spellbound
to music, while the Italian child wants
to join in and sing himself.
