intensely self-conscious. Also in some
cases an apparent fear of falling
under the sway of sheer beauty And
yet a good many of these works are,
in their sincerity, keenly interesting.
There is always note both pathetic
and engaging in paintings by Van
Gogh, and to this rule his paintings
OF flowers are no exception. Almost
always it was the common flowers he
chose to represent and his arrange
ments are those of one who had no
orderliness of habit. But they live
and are given life with a certain
tenderness. The single example shown

these elements, and SO gave a new
and welcome turn to art. Very pleas

are the two canvasses by Renoir, one

that makes life joyous. In a work by

CHARDIN, Courbet, Fantin-Latour
are Ill represented, but by works
more closely related to the old than
the new school. Courbet's figure of
young woman arranging flowers on a

which gives little inkling of the genius
which the painter possessed or the
power he exerted upon his contemno-

But to come to the present Without
question some Of our contemporary
painters make here exceptionally good
account of their gift and achievements.
Richard Lahey is at his best in Roses

perhaps unconsciously. allowed some of
her own charming personality to per-

praise of Nan Watson's "Anemones."

1t is interesting to note how charac-
teristic are the flower paintings of
those who are primarily figure painters
as, for example, Eugene Speicher
Maurice Prendergast also. We here see,
painted still life as he did people.
There are interesting examples OF
flower painting by the late Carl Mel
chers, E. Barnard Lintott. Herbert
Meyer and others. But Of all perhaps
most notable are two-utterly different
of white flowers, one by George
O'Keeffe. the other by Dietz Edzard.
The first is single flower. enormously
magnified and greatly stylized but
very handsome in design and skillfully
rendered-a flower for modern room,
by no means unbeautiful and certainly
newly interpreted. The second is a
painting of few white roses in vase,
exquisitely fragile and rendered with
great subtlety-such painting as
Weir or La Fargo would have rejoiced
in and comprehended. one which pre-
serves for all time the spirit of the
flower and makes permanent that
which is passing but cannot be compre-
hended by time.
That the flowers in this exhibition
do not compete with those now in eor-
geous bloom in gardens and parks can
not be denied, but they do in measure
evidence the artists feeling toward
them, and in so doing witness to the
strength of Natures appeal.
This exhibition, which is the last Of
the series for the current season to be
sponsored by the Museum of Modern
Art Washington Gallery, will continue
through April "a.

Corcoran Gallery Buys Three
Drawings by Leon KroH.
THREE drawings by Leon Kroll,
which we're included in the group
recently exhibited in the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. have been acquired by
that institution for its permanent COL
lection These are a standing figure of
young girl entitled Blond Hair;

is the original sketch for a figure in
Mr.. Kroll's mural, Defeat of Justice"

General, Justice Department Building:
and studies of young girl, two heads
done on one sheet showing the same
model from opposite directions. These
drawings were acquired primarily for
the benefit Of students in the Corcoran
School Of Art. because of their fine
quality. The Corcoran Gallery of Art
is particularly fortunate in owning a
large collection of drawings by John
Singer Sargent, life studies, and a
number Of other artists-among them
John Mcclure Hamilton-very inter-
esting in themselves and invaluable as
studies. Such work as these stress the
importance Of good craftsmanship,
which. for the advancement of art,
cannot be done too often or too vigor-
ously. 1t is interesting to note in this
connection that. in recent years, the
demand for and hence the price of
drawings by well-known artists of the
past and present have steadily in
creased in the open art market. In
other words, drawings made not infre-
quently as studies are being collected
and treasured.

Mrs. Cady charged cruelty on

they roamed from one end of the

Chalmers was a member of troop

August after the body of Miss Pra-

speed way. Police Commissioner
Lewis Valentine, in suspending
Chalmers from the force and ar
resting him, said the policeman
confessed TO the crime. Chalmers
insists, however, that the shooting
was an accident: that Miss Pradier
threatened him with a pistol when
he refused to go to California with
her and that she was killed in the
scuffle that followed.

Mrs. Cady, as a student of astron-
