Selected Local
Exhibit

An exhibition Of paintings, prints
and sculpture by artists Of Wash
1ngton, Maryland and Virginia,
will be opened today at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery.
A similar exhibition for the pur-
pose Of promoting regional sales
was initiated last year, and at
tracted a great deal Of attention.
At that time 25 paintings were
sold bringing in $1,709.
This year the selections for the
exhibition were made by Duncan
Phillips, and members of the staff
of the Phillips Memorial Gallery.
T he exhibition, Mr.. Phillips
pointed out, does not and cannot
attempt to be a comprehensive
cross section Of regional work, but
is a selection Of regional work.
Final choice in selecting the
paintings was made on the basis
Of individuality of concept. The
works Of 81 artists comprise the
exhibit, the majority of the artists
being from Washington.
Among the artists exhibited are:
Robt. Franklin Gates, who has sent
a group Of recent watercolors from
the Virgin Isles, where he has been
sent by the Treasury Art Project;
Richard Lahey, the director Of the
Corcoran School Of Art; Mrs. Dean
AcheSon, one of whose paintings
included in the exhibition last year
was sold to a New York purchaser
upon the recommendation Of the
director of the High Museum Of
Art: Herman Maril, whose pictures
have Just returned from a one
man show at the Marie Sterner
Gallery, in New York; Donald
Coale, Charles Dunn, Jean Kellog,
Rowland Lyon, Daniel Olney and
Elizabeth Poe.

many Of his journals. Admirers
of the famous biographer met
only rebuffS from the family, how
ever, when they tried to get O
peek at the literary treasure. The
family were not at all taken with
MIR. James Boswell and the leS0

1t was not until Lord Talbot do

Of Boswell, fell heir to the family
effects and moved them to his

After much persuasion Lieut.
Col. Ralph H. Isham obtained pos
session of these first documents.
And then at house party in 1880,
the original manuscript Of the
Hebrides journal was found in Q
croquet box and the colonel
again was the victor in a long
struggle for it's possession.

Strictly speaking "The Black
Doll" is not a children's story.
Arthur Halstead first saw the
doll in the arms of girl stricken
with terror. She was running for
dear life down lonely road. The
next time he saw it, it was held
in the arms Of the corpse clad in
green pajamas. Going back a lit
tie ways Mr.. Halstead found it
had been owned by the man who
was found with the knife in his
back.

Blame my parents, not me. Children don't

II see. Ha Then perhaps you'll tell us your
version of the tragedy"
Certainly" said Lulu. Her voice was
pleasant, not metallic and hard as one might
have feared from the name and the hair. The
truth is very simple and very brief. Colonel
Douglas has been pestering me ever since we
left Bombay. Whether you know it or not, he
drank like fish and took drugs. He was bad
egg, and l must say it though he's dead Well,
l wasn't having anything to do with Colonel
Douglas who drank and took drugs. Quite
apart from the fact that he had aboard wife
of sorts
''Ha! A wife of sorts?"
''Oh, harmless enough" said Lulu, but
dumb, not striking. AS l was saying, quite
apart from that the Colonel wasn't my type.
He was, to be blunt, pain in the neck to me-"
"You told him so, ha?"
Repeatedly. Then last night - or rather
early this morning - when was about to
turn in ="
early in the morning."
1T was so hot. Everyone sat up. As was
saying, then, he came to my cabin in his
pyjamas and dressing gown and started to
make an awful scene. Of course. he was full
of drink and drugs, or fuller than usual, rather
l ordered him out. He became melodramatic.

was happening, he'd whipped a revolver from
his pocket and shot himself through the head.
He fell down dead, and the steward came at
once. You know the rest"
II see. Ha." The major considered this. He
looked up suddenly. "Suicide?"
Lulu nodded.
Then perhaps you can explain, Miss Love,
how it is that the doctor here found none of
the usual burning or singing around the
wound. Ha. That is 50, doctor?"
Quite so," said the surgeon. "A man puts
arevolver close to his head when he's about to
blow out his brains."
1t was Lulu's turn to consider. She did so,
perhaps for second too long. Then the
shadow that had dwelt momentariy in her
eyes passed.

''You forget that this was gesture - that he

that he was in earnest

had boring thrust like gimlet's. Slipping an

The captain rang for the steward and gave
the necessary orders.

What occupation?"

Paterson on the same note of apologize regret.
ACTRESS? Ha," said Major Pearce, and
took another drink.
The first officer showed more consideration
for Lulu Love than he did for the respectable
passengers. He took her to the bridge by
devious ways, and the patient watchers on
the decks caught only glimpse of her enter
ing the captains cabin high above. They OBJ
served, however, that she wore black. The
men, though not aloud, thought her costume
appropriate and becoming; but the women
knew she'd worn it because it made her fair
beauty seem dazzling by comparison. 1t was
good to know the major wasn't the kind to be
dazzled. They smiled among themselves.
If Major Pearoe was not dazzled, at least
Ike stood up when Lulu entered, which was
more than he had expected to do. Certainly
she made an attractive picture. She held her
chin up and her hair made nimbus about her

This man and that regretted he'd been as
much as he had with Lulu Love. True her
smiles had been distributed generously and no
one had been selected for preferential treat
ment, but it was pity now to have been seen
at all in such dangerous and dubious company
'Yes, my dear, admit it" And just what
had happened? Nobody could answer that
properly, but the fact remained that the
Colonel had been found shot in Lulu's cabin
and that the pair of them were in pyjamas and
it was after three in the morning. Enough to
go on with.
They went on Then someone thought of
the unfortunate widow who had been thrust
into the background by the drama and by the
excessive blondeness of that Lulu Love. A
general move was made for the Douglass
stateroom, but Mrs. Douglas was not there.
Doubtless she had been taken up to the cap
tain to hear the awful tidings. A disappoint-
ment, nevertheless. Every woman there would
have liked to comfort Mrs. Douglas and take
her to plying breast. They waited about.
reluctant to go to their hot, dull cabins.
When she did return, she was accompanied
by the second officer and stewardess, and
they were all sent away. But her CHASTITY ap-
pearanoe confirmed all they had been saying.
Lulu Love, indeed, had lot to answer for in
that nights work.
The night was over, and the red dawn
stained the ports before the last OF the dis
tressed passengers retired to snatch little
rest. Even 50 they awakened early and, all
aeog, hurried back into the life of the ship.
Passengers on liner, however, are not the
people they are ashore. They are under dis
cipline, and are told only what is good for
them. Though the ship hummed with rumors.
no further information was forthcoming. The
officers were numb and dumb; the stewards
didn't know nothin', not thing, m'm," and
Lulu Love kept to her cabin. Whether she was
under arrest or not was moot point.
Mrs. Douglas, too, was not on show. Per-
fectly natural that she should be Frustrated,
but at the same time shame Her feminine
sympathizzs felt they had rights which were
not being recognized.
Shortly after breakfast the rugged desert
hills of Alden - looking as though they had
been ripped carelessly out of sheet of card
board appeared against the brilliant blue of
the sky. This caused new stir and famed the
excitement. Would Lulu Love be handed over
to the police?
The ship crept in, and the anchor plunged
down into the water, shattering the smooth
surface as though it were green glass; The
usual launches hovered about. The lines of
spectators along the decks
craned their necks.
