cover design, music and words, the

wise are mingled the ludicrous and the
profound.
Finally. and much still remains un-
told, the most up-to-date touch is
given this exhibition by a model Of
the great ocean liner the Normandie
in all her bulk, Argus-eyed with port
holes, much and literally bedecked,
trim and competent in the extreme,
nonchalant of danger, conqueror of the
seas.
But what of romance? A we'll
known writer has lately commented
that the ships which men made in the
old days were in their turn makers of
men. "They show the man at his best
as Greater; they show him at his best
as the creature of his creation"
After all, is not this more than half
the fascination of ships and the sea?

The exhibition Of paintings. prints

subjects. lent by the President of the
United States from his own private
collection, which opened yesterday in
the Corcoran Gallery of Art with a
previeW. is of exceptional interest.
Comprising more than 200 items, and
occupying four galleries, 1t covers a
wide range historically and artiSti-
cally In it subjective interest is para

records an historic event or pictures
an object of historic significance, and
yet the artistic quality of these works
is in almost every instance fine. They
are not the works of inferior artists.
but of accomplished painters, drafts

The period covered historically Is
something over $50 years. from the
time of the Revolution up to and
including the great war, and the
subjects set forth are almost ex-
clusively American. There are oil

so long ago that the names of the
painters have been forgotten: there
are prints in color produced by the
most modern methods and there are
those faded by age: there are en-
cravings and Autographs and etch-
ings; there are drawings in line and
in wash.
One painting is done on silk, one
is stitched in silken threads. one is
hooked in woods. Technically, there
is great variety. The collectors in
stinct to acquire that which is rare,
regardless of intrinsic merit, seems
not to have influenced the selection
OF these exhibits. The collection as a
whole is widely diverse and well built
up. None could fail to find it thor
oughly engaging.
A personal note is given by place.
