If the bride-to- be has set her

that time over 600 students have passed
through his classes. This, perhaps,
accounts, In part at least, for the rap
idly increasing prevalence of itho-
graphs.
The prints now on view in the Blue
Gallery were all produced between '34
and '36. The majority were drawn
directly on stone by the artist, by
whom also they were printed, but a
few are lithotints-wash drawings
made on stone with brush and litho-
graphic ink-a method which Whistler
used very successfully. But there is a
long distance between the lithotints
of Whistler and A. G. Arnold-the for
mer so sensitive and delicate, the lat
ter so heavy and rather shapeleSs. In
some of his Autographs one sees very
fine drawing of trees, leafless and bare,
and delicate gradations in shadows of
snow, but in his lithotints Arnold is
essentially Of the Woodstock School,
dull and formless. At present Mr.. Ar
mold is serving as photographic techni-
clan in the Special SkillS Division Of

Co1ortul Paintings By Mrs. Chase
Shot0n in Women's City Club.
WATER colors by Susan y. Chase
w are to be seen this month on
the walls of the drawing and recep-
ton rooms Of the. Women's City Club,
Jackson place, and appear to excel
lent advantage. Some Of the paint
ings have been seen from time to
time in current local exhibitions, but
they are attractive and clever enough
to be seen frequently and with added
pleasure. The extent Of Mrs. ChaSe's
travels is evidenced by the far-hung
places set forth by her water colors
in this exhibition. Here are paint
ings made in Ragusa, YugoSlavia; in
Taxco, Mexico; in BercheStgaten,
Bavaria; in Portugal, in New Eng
land and in our own Capital City.
And, what is more, they are equally
charming.
Mrs Chase paints broadly, with a
full, free-flowing brush and thereby
attains very delightful effect, fresh
and vigorous. And, what is more. she
chooses her subjects well. Why per-
petuate scenes upon which no one
would want to look second time,
especially when there is much loveli-
ness to be had for the looking? Just
to paint is not enough-one should,
at least, endeavor to paint beau
tifully. And this Mrs. Chase GER
tainly does. 1t is quite evidently
beauty which attracts her-and her
transcriptions are skillful and under
standing. Especially interesting is
the glimpse she gives Of Sunny Gin
