" Notes

A perfectly Illuminating intro
duction to Spanish bull fighting
and Juan Belmonte is given IN
Death in the Afternoon, by
Ernest Hemingway. Now Spain's
greatest bull fighter, Juan Bel
monte himself has written his
autobiography. Doubleday, Doran
publishes the English translation
under the title Juan Belmonte:
Killer of Bulls" It is replete with
thrills and illustrated with many
photographs never before repro
duced outside of Spain.
After seven years Of intensive
research, Robert Gore Browne
penned Lord Boutwell, and Mary,
Queen Of Scots" It is London's
best seller. America will be able
to pass judgment in May when it
will be published here by Double
day, Doran.
The manuscript of THE Enemy
Gods" a new novel by Oliver La
Fargo, has just been delivered to
Houghton Mifflin. It is a story
about NavajoS.
The beachcombers of Cape Cod
are vividly protrayed in q new
book, 'Mooncussers of Cape Cod"
written by Henry c. Kittredge and
published by Houghton Mifflin.
Margaret Mitchell has had so
many letters Of coincidence from
the English touching on stories
about her eyesight being bad and
that she began Gone With the
Wind" while she was in a plaster
cast that she has called upon the
Macmillan Company Of London to
issue q statement in which she
says she never was in a plaster
cast for three years; didn't write
the book while bed-ridden: hasn't
anything the matter with her eyes
and has just finished a 2,0O0-mile
automobile trip, which ought to
prove she is OK.

It's interesting, Of course; it
makes you feel very much cap
tain of the ship and all that;
but it leaves no time for any
thing else, / do assure you"
The answer is that "it leaves no
time for living" At least that's
what Mary's pugnacious admirer
believes.
But measure, if you can, the
ground Mary covers in the course
Of one day and see how right she
was. It all depends upon what is
meant by living, Of course. It
seems to us that Mary did a lot
of it.

Now comes a book that should
be of inestimable value to persons
who spend any portion Of their
time inquiring into the various
problems that arise daily in the
home.
Health Questions
It is a volume Of questions and
answers entitled Health Ques-
tions Answered." by w. w. Bauer,
BIS, MD, director of the bureau
of health and public instruction,
American Medical Association.
It contains 1880 questions and
their answers. These questions
were taken from some 10000 let.
terS addressed to the American
Medical Association, and cover
5000 inquiries.
The questions included in the
book were chosen on the basis
of four characteriZations: Com.
munity of interest, evidenced by
the numbers of queries received;
Importance of problems presented;
questions, narrow and specific in
themselves, yet typifying others
of like character, and questions OF
seemingly slight Importance but
which opened discussions Of great
significance.
CIeVerIy Indexed
The volume is capably indexed,
allowing the reader to direct his
attention instantly to the chapter
and type of question which he has
in mind.
It is recommended as q useful
book for the family shelf.

But She Lost
Her Man

Every once in a while there slips
from the publishers stocks a little
bit of a volume that has more fun
packed into It's slim confines than
can be found in searching through
five or six of its big brothers.
Such is Broadway Angler" by
John Taintor Foote.
The little book is only A pages
long-but what a finish. It's
the story Of a Broadway chorus
girl who has had her trout fishing
and doesn't like it. At the price
of a lunch, and it was some lunch,
the man who wrote the book in
the show she is appearing in gets
the whole tale over the cigarettes.
She is Violet Flower. Honest, it's
a girl, not the name of a per-
fume. She dressed to go trout
fishing with her flame, an expert
with the rod and reel, like they do
in the newsreeI fashion shows. It
got him, for the moment. That is,
until she started to fish and then
that got her.
A boy let her hold his pole.
The pole had a worm on the hook.
That got the fish. But it didn't
get Violet her man and so she's
back in the chorus again, still
trying to find out what difference
it makes how you catch a trout
and what difference it makes II
you catch him at all.

Blue Gallery
Closes

It is much to be regretted that
the Blue Gallery, which started
out so successfully at 2040 S st.
N. W., just a few months ago, has
been discontinued.
Miss Elizabeth Lewis, in charge
Of the fine arts division of the
Public Library, who conducted the
Blue Gallery, reports that the gal
lery has been closed because the
room is now no longer available.
Miss Lewis says. however, that
she hopes to be able to establish q
similar gallery some place else,
adding that she is firmly of the
belief that this city needs an "art
store"
A big month for the art exhibi-
tionS in the libraries is also an
nounced by Miss Lewis.
At the main library, the draw
ings and prints of Richard Lahey,
principal of the Corcoran School
Of Art, are on view. Mr.. Lahey
was formerly at the Art Students
League in New York, and has quite
a reputation for his art.
The Mount Pleasant Branch is
showing the water colorS of two
Washington painters, zann e
Mullett and Paul Arlt, and at the
Northeastern Branch, the works of
a group of Washington artists are
being exhibited. The Landscape
Club Of Washington is having an
other show at the Takoma Park
Branch.

thought. But these exploits were
what the Darceys did while on
good behavior.
At other times they really cut
loose. Lyle tried to elope with a
gigolo. Shearn settled down to
write q book, forgot to get up to
telephone and in consequence dis
covered in the morning papers
that his fiancee had married an
other man. Whereupon Shearn
felt perfectly licensed to throw his
life away. Gibbs got started on a
glorious career as an archeologist
and then almost ruined it by
street fight over a pretty little
girl from a hamburg stand.
Still the stepmother stuck 1t out
and when you read the book you'll
admit she did right well by the
DarceyS.

Norma Patterson, for instance,
refuses to take the situation too
seriously. She get a little upset at
times, to be sure, but somehow
she comes UP smiling and so will
her readers unless, of course, they
want the heroine to marry the
wrong man. In that event, they're
doomed to be disappointed.
Miss Patterson may be light
hearted, but she knows her heroes
from her Williams and she holds out
for the hero to the end of the
chapter.
Stepchildren, as all good readers
are aware. are either meek and
much abused or "high-handed, un-
governable and disrespectful." The
kindest thing you could say about
the surprising Darcy clan was
that they meant well.
What they did they did without
any particular malice. Such cute
antics as bringing ponies into the
drawing room, carting man-sized
dummies to school dances, putting
frogs on unsuspecting professors
and denting auto tenders were all
executed in the interests Of good
clean fun.

"A good etching is really a
thing of beauty. It is some
thing to be cherished high above
many other forms Of art expires
sion.
Oils and water colors require
color to enhance their beauty,
but an etching doesn't. Color
is inherent in an etching. A
line here and a line there, and
an etcher has created color.
A scratch on a copper plate, and
he has made a woman beautiful
or ugly. A few more scratches with
his tools, and he has made her a
queen in flowing silks or a ganin
In rags.
The skill and the artistry that
make UP etching come to mind in
looking at a fine product. They
came to mind while looking at the
prints Of Charles B. Keeler in an
exhibition Of his works at the Divi.
sion Of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian
Institution.
At Smithsonian
Some so of his prints are being
shown, and each one, particularly
his aquatints, is lovelier than the
last.
His aquatints are as smooth in
texture as the more carefully
painted water colors. But they
have the detail that lifts q good
etching above most paintings.
Most of Mr.. Keeler'S etchings
were made in Spain, a country
which the artist loves for its beauty
Of color and for its Quaintness.
Queerly-shaped houses and crooked
streets - the romantic Spain we
used to read about-are the sub.
jects of Mr.. Keeler's prints.
He has caught the feeling Of
the country, 1t seems, and because
Of his great love for the. country,
most of his prints are devoted to
it. The artist has made many
trips to Europe, travelling through
several countries of the contt-
nent, but Spain seems to be his
greatest love.
On three occasions he bought
q donkey and Travelled over Spain,
Sketching as he went.
Many HOnors
Mr.. Keeler now lives at Glen
dora, Cal, on the side Of a noun
tain. He calls his home Fin del
Viaje." He was born in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, in 1882, and re-
ceived his early art training at
the Art Institute Of Chicago.
From there he went to Harvard,
where he graduated in 1905 and
entered an architectural firm. A
year later he went back to the
life classes at the Art Institute.
The artist has been awarded
q number of honors for his print
work. He is a member Of the
Chicago Society Of Etchers, Cali
fornia Print Makers and other
groups. His prints may be found
in many public and private col
lectionS and some Of his work
was selected for Fifty Prints Of
the Year" in 1927. -. g
Mr.. Keeler's work may be seen
at the Division of Graphic Arts
throughout this month from 8
q. m. to 4::30 p. m. on weekdays,
and from 1880 p. m. to 4:30 p. m.
