Not Even a Chin Turks Be.
hind Whiskers Hiding
Many Artists.
By Weare H0lbrook.

A T THEIR next weekly meeting
~ the ladies of the East Teabone
~ Reading Circle will take up
the question: Are people
funny looking because they are liter
airy, or are they literary because they
are funny looking?" There is much to
be said On beth sides-and it will be
said, for the ladies know whereof they
speak.
AS patronesses of the arts and pro-
moters of the local lyceum courses.
they have seen the literati at close
range and they have few illusions left.
If they had lived a century ago,
Browning could have said to them,
"Ah, did you once see Shelly plain,
and did he stop and speak to you?"-
and they would have answered in
chorus, We've seen him plain as a
body can see. He spoke to us, and
his fee was fancy"
In East Teabone the opportunities
for closeup glimpses of celebrities are
exceptional. for it is customary to park
visiting lecturers in private homes
rather than at the Hotel Teabone.
1t is one of the preogatives of genius
to look queer, and genius has always
exercised the prerogative freely. There
were no candid cameras in the golden
age Of literature, but the pictorial rec
ord of that time indicates that the big
shots were all a bit on the grotesque
side.
In the Victorian age whiskers were
the common denominator of all pro-
fessional men, and it was sometimes
difficult to see the soul of the artist
ambushed behind the arbutus. Every
one who has ever sat in the little red
school house, browsing over his little
read schoolbooks, must recall the steel
engravings of the alfalfa sextette.
There were Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, James
Russell Lowell, William Cullen Bryant,
Walt Whitman Gin that age of inno-
cense known only as the author of
20 Captain. My Captainw) and Oliver
Wendell Holmes. DR. Holmes was not
in full flower like the rest of the
group, but his side-whiskers got him
in by a narrow margin.
pERHAPS it was these pictures on
the walls and in the textbooks
that identified whiskers with literature
in the minds of the present genera
tion. Whatever the cause, 1t is a fact
that at least 80 per cent of the facial
fluff now extant is worn by wooers
'of the muse. Archeologists. old family
doctors and members of exotic re-
ligious cults have their quota, but the
bulk of the heritage belongs to the
sturdy souls who scale the peaks Of
Parnassus with the help of goose quill
alpenstocks. Penetrate a beard and
you find a bard. The nonshrinkable
violet of today provides his own mossy
stone. and the heavier the moss, the
greater Is his prestige.

Less out of the ordinary but still

Moore Abbot, the talented wife of the
Secretary of the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tuition, and THE Open Window" by
Grace Merrill Rucxman. who heads
at present The Twenty Woman
Painters of Washington.
There are two still-life groups of
fruit and vegetables-both interesting
in the matter of color and design
the former by Charles Val Clear, for
merly director of the Art League of
Washington, an exhibition of whose
water colors, by the way, is now in
progress at the Public Library, and
the latter by Elizabeth Roberts,
daughter of Justice Roberts OF the
Supreme Court. Miss Roberts paint
ing was accorded an honorable men
ton.
Not precisely in this class, but per-
tanning to it, is a painting by Lucia
B. Hollerith, the secretary of the So
!ciety, entitled THE Porch Table"
which, while still-life composition,
is in reality study in light, and very
well rendered. Miss Hollerith employs
a technique somewhat similar to that
of the French impressionists, clear
colors in juxtaposition laid on with
short strokes, but her method is en-
tirely her own and through it she
is now. as in this instance, not only
interpreting the illusion of light and
air, but rendering textures most en-
gagingly.
"A Severe Critic" by Hans Schle-
reth, who, having won the prize for
figure painting in the S. w. AS ex-
hibition last year, was ineligible for
award at this time, is without doubt
one OF the most arresting pictures in
this collection. 1t is his own studio
interior in Germany. where he spent
the Summer, and shows a charwoman
standing before half finished paint
ing on his canvas, in a very critical
attitude. The room is flooded with
light from an open window, but the
figure of the woman and that of the
model, resting, perfectly take their
places in the composition as whole.
Furthermore. the way the light falls

quite as picturesque potentialities as

points them out.

these one finds greatest divergence

his audience merely giggled. With
all possible haste he grew another
beard. But it was too late: the illu-
sion was gone forever. The ladies who
used to wonder whether his beard had
been worn to conceal scar or BIRTH

worn to conceal nothing-not even q
chin.
