Arts Club
Exhibit

A group of the lovely water
colorS and oils by Julius Delbos, of
New York, are on exhibition at
the Arts Club, 2017 st. N. w..
where they may be seen until
May Is.
Mr.. Delbos is apt at variety
of themes. His water scenes are
attractive, his landscapes are
lovely, and his boats would warm
any mariners heart.
In the Arts Club exhibition,
there are quite a few small paint
ings, in which the artist has
caught the secret of creating an
effective scene, with plenty OF
color, despite the handicap Of a
small canvas.
Mr.. Delbos' Pigeon Cove" which
captured the Adolf and Clara
Obrig prize of the New York Water
Color Club last year. is among
those exhibited. 1t is not difficult
to see why this lovely water color
was selected for the prize.
The artist paints a variety OF
landscapes, from Rockport to the
Biarritz, each as fine as the next
one.
Mr.. Delbos Is a member Of the
American Water Color Society, the
New York Water Color Club, the
Society Of Graphic Arts. Old Dud-
lev Art Society Of London. Sal.

STEPPED in old Spanish tradi-'

travel their way in a land made
beautiful by its flowers, songs and
legends.
To this locality comes a priest
with the hint of rebellion in his
soul. To him has been given the
task Of reviving the glory Of the
mission Of Santa Lucia.
According to the stories Of the
folks who lived within the sound
Of its bells, the priest who made
the mission famous died there OF
starvation. The new priest takes
up the work of making this mis-
sion as splendid as it was in the
days Of It's power.
Under the guidance Of the new
conner, the resurrection Is COM
pleted. When 1t first begins the
padre is told that when the mis-
sion fell into ruins it became the
lair Of one Of the robin Hoods"
Of that vast country. The two
meet early and the story Of this

story Of the priest and the bandit.

It rr1tated Gordon sinclair no
end and he wrote q book about it.
Mr.. Sinclair calls his book "Khy-
bar Caravan" In 1t he tells about
his adventursome trip through
Kashmir. Wazirstan, AfghaniStan,
BaluchiStan and Northern India.
It is one Of the most amusing
Of the various travel books yet to
come to hand. Unlike others Of
its Xix the interesting parts are
not crowded out to make way for
any overdrawn wiSecrackS. Mr..
Sinclair knows how to write clear
and concise English. He knows
how to make you take purely
statistical information on Indian
travel and like it. He gets away
with q lot more than Is thought
possible because he has learned
how to laugh at himself and not
try to cover up the difficulties Of
his trip with an air Of being the
perfect traveller"
The reader will probably think
more than once that what hap
pened to Mr.. Sinclair is just what
would have happened to him
under similar circumstances.
Almost everyone has heard OF
the beauty Of the KaShmir valley.
It seems that Mr.. Sinclair had
heard about it too. When he got
to see it. this is what he said:
I'm not much Of . man for
poetry but the writer who de-
sCribed that cool green valley rs
AN emerald ret in pearls knew
his emeraIdS. Centuries Of syrupy
ballyhOO. nauseating i'm its sweet
ness have mot spoiled KaShmir.
It gives you . surging CreScendO
Of feeling that life ID . gorgeous
and glorious adventure. A con-
guest ending in mighty triumph.
