HOBBY BRINGS
FAME TO {.
WOMAN

Connoisseurs of pastel portrai-
ture have been watching with
deep interest these past several
months the rapid rise to artistic
fame and commercial success Of
Mrs. Mildred Rawlings Stamp,
4O5 Wilson Lane, Battery Park,
Md.
Mrs. Stamp, mother of three
children-R. Marbury, jr., IA;
Jean Frances, IL, and jeanne
Mildred, 9-entered the CONNER
cial field less than year and a
half ago, yet already her talent
has brought her the praises and
admiration of connoiSeurS and
the plaudits of many clients.
Started AS Hobby
Painting at first was a hobby
with Mrs. Stamp. She studied
under Catherine Critcher and
Edith MacCartney, and also at
the Corcoran Art Gallery, With
no other thought in mind than
to follow her hobby.
After she had completed her
studies, her favorite sport-rid-
ing to the hounds-intertered
considerably with her painting.
Even now. as artistic and COM
mercial successes crown her
efforts, Mrs. Stamp suStains her
activity in her favorite pastime:
she often is out with the Riding
and Hum Club hounds on her
noted chestnut hunter, "Foggy,"
a descendant through the dams
side of the famous sire Of hunters,
Trap Rock.
Portraits Her Speciality
Mrs. Stamps portraits (she
specializes in portraits of chill
dren) have attracted widespread
attention because of their truth
fulness to life and for their charm,
delicacy, refinement and warmth
of color.
Her three children are Mrs.
Stamps severest critics. Rarely
are they missing from the studio
in the Stamp home when their
mother Is at work at her easel.
Rarely, too, are they missing
when Mrs. Stamp goes horseback
riding, and all are expert riders.

TOKYO, July 2 GN.sJ.-The
long and bitter quarrel between
the Soviet Union and Japan over
rights in the rich fishing banks

Along with frontier clashes on

fishing privileges in the Pacific

friction between Japan and the
Sovjets. The Japanese have fu-

Soviets TO- exclusive rights and

owned by the Soviets, to consoli-

His 25-odd water colors on ex'

Of subject matter, sometimes

The pieces which appealed most
to this critic were two river

Mr.. Gates does extremely well
with this subject.

Death

Bartholomew Blount, wealthy
squire, went for q ride on his
favorite mount.
It was the last time he en-
joyed any Of the wealth he had
accumulated, for Squire Blount
was brought home dead. His
horse had thrown him. While
the countryside took it for grant
ed that it was an accident, one
did not.
The suspicious one was Bruce
Dickson. q young doctor. He had
met Ella Chilcott, grandniece Of
Squire Blount on a Norwegian
cruise and had gone to the
squire'S part Of the world to start
his practice. He discovered in an
examination Of the dead mans
body that he had been poisoned.
The young doctor helped the
police in their investigation and
the mysterious death was solved.

Family Life
Of a Fox

You don't have to belong to the
sporting world to enjoy '"The
Foxes" a new study Of wild life
recently published by Houghton
Mifflin. Whether your Sympar
thies rush to the plight Of the
hunted or rise victoriously in be-
half Of the hunter the story will
hold you Spellbound.
It takes no sides. It leaps from
the flight Of the fox to the pursuit
of the hound. It tells Of beauty
and bloodShed. It shows the fox
at his best and his worst and it
makes the life Of the hunter q
joyous thing.
# you require plot development
in your reading, you will find
that, too. The family life OF q
fox makes exciting reading.
When spring comes to the swamp.
the vixen leaves her tussock.
In April she hides five snub-
nosed cubs in the canebreak. Be
fore the middle Of May she
teaches them to hunt and by
summer they have become a
menace to the plantation.
Eventually Nip and Blaze lose
their lives in traps. Twitch is
treed and captured and Gyp fur
nishes sport at a fox hunt.
Clutch, alone, survives and the
greater part Of '"The Foxes" is
his story.
There is room, however, for a
brilliant account Of the passage
of the seasons carrying drama
into and out Of the stables and
off to the hunt with the fox
ahead and the hounds following
at full cry.

There are 10 paintings on ex-
hibition, with as many different

Her paintings can be restful,
they can be humorous and they
can be lovely.
In one entitled "Han'ted," she
illustrates her ability to combine
humor and restfulness and
beauty In one painting. The pic.
tlre is a mass Of weeping willows
casting shadows on a lonely road
on which walks one lone fright
ened figure.

Gull" a beautiful white bird
which spreads its wings over q

goes to 'Flying Gulls," a group
Of the birds in motion. And
there's no lack Of action.
The last painting in the exhi-
bition is entitled abandoned
Ships" The artist has captured
the feeling of abandonment and
emptiness in this piece. It is a
painting that would delight the
heart Of the fondest marine en-
thusiaSt and still is a master
piece Of composition.
The Arts Club is also exhibiting
etchings by Marjory Ryerson, Of
New York. Miss Ryerson'S etch-
tngs have a profoundly human
touch. Their subject is exclusively
children and their mothers.
Miss Ryerson is represented in

With an introduction by Lewis
w. Douglas, Nicholas Roosevelt
has added to the growing list Of
contemporary political interpreta-
tions with '"The Townsend Plan" :"
It is a clear analysis Of q pro-
posal that is closer TO some hearts
than any other issue raised in
political America during the past
decade.
According to Mr.. Douglas, this
little volume discloses ''no more
cruel hoax has ever been at
tempted on the American people" "
The former director Of the Fed

financing methods suggested are
fantastic and that those who have
been led to believe in the plan
face being thrown into the depths
Of despair.

The charge that murder can be
committed with immunity If you
have money has been heard often
but Mr.. Lavine puts it into spe-
cific classes. Through his exam
Piles, he shows just where the
money is placed and what hap
pens when it Is.
A great deal of his material was
garenered while he was police re-
porter in New York but he doesn't
always confine himself to that
city or State. In two instances
he jumps across the continent to
Hollywood for very strong stories.
One Of the most telling sketches
in the volume is the life Of a po-
liceman, beginning at the time he

first gets it into his head that
he wants to go on the force,
through his examination, his pro-
bationary period, up to the eli
max when he really "getS in on
the take"
His chapter on the Dealers in
Death" carries a warning which
won't be ignored and goes a long
way toward explaining the why's
and whereforeS Of a number Of
nationally known murders.
The book Is q CORY gathering
Of stories put down by q straight

The beautiful drawings an6

The exhibition includes all
Of the many varieties of worl
which brought fame to one o
the first great women artist
Of the country-her oils, wate,
colors, pastels, charcoal anc.

Mrs. Stephens was most famou2
as an illustrator, her services be
ing sought by many Of the bes:
publishing houses for illustration
Of contemporary and other books
She also dio illustrations for Hal

azineS.
Victorian Era
Trained in the Victorian schoo,
Mrs. Stephens work, for the mos.
part, bears the mark Of that pc
riod-the primneSs, the exactness
She had q remarkable capacity
for transmitting the spirit Of al
age to her canvas.
And yet, despite this overwhelm

pictures which are timeleSS L.

This can be said for q grea
number Of her illustrations, al
though for the most part thu
paintings which are catalogued il

are her best.
OF these, perhaps her best is ar

Sympathy
Another of her most striking
pictures, apparently not done as
illustrations for any book or maga
zine, is one which she called
philadelphia Aims House." Il
shows her humanness, her Sympa-
thy for Society's Jnfortunates.
There is even humor in her
work, the best example Of which is
a painting called "Overindulgence
"A Spoiled Thanksgiving" The
title is explanation enough. A
young man has eaten too much
Thanksgiving dinner and his posi-
ton and expression give ample
proof.
