in white; the cover Of the vase rep
resents winged horse and the two
handles are horse heads, with the
outstretched wings on their tips
showing a bit of semitranslucent
blue, so thin and delicate is the cary
ing. On one side is the Triumph of
Galatea and Aurora" and on the re-
verse Aurora and the Birth of
Venus" The quality of the white
canoes resembles the finest Parian
marble, so wonderful is the texture
and composition. The base, with
conventional acanthus leaves and
the Seascape, so beautifully carved,
makes an exquisite setting for the
scheme of NEUROLOGICAL decorations.

NorthWood was engaged six years
on the vase, which, when first sold
in this country, brought $500, and
in 1928 Mr.. Gellatly paid $500; a
year later it became part of his
collection in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. After looking at the Pegasus
vase we are inclined to believe that
Pegasus really continued his flight
to heaven, where he dWells among
the Stars-look some starry night.

They are might clannish, but

Beautiful Cameo Glass
Vase on Exhibition.
The exquisite glass Pegasus vase.
which is one of the rarest and most
beautiful examples in existence of
the art of glass carving, assumed
new beauty-if possible-the other
day when we were nosing about in
the National Collection of Fine
Ats tuntil changed by an act of
Congress last year, the National
Gallery of Art). Mr.. Tolman, direc-
tor OF the collection, chanced along
and pointed out the wonderful tech
nique employed in this masterpiece,
which is the work of the late John
Northwood, who first attained fame
by his copy of the Barberini or Port
land vase, at that time deposited in
the British Museum. This was in
1877 and so intricate and untried
was the work that Northwood had to
devise tools which would be suitable
for the delicate undertaking. And,
by the way, MIR. Tolman is the
proud possessor of one of the steel
tools used in the work, which was
presented to him by Mr.. Carder, a
pupil of Northwood's, who assisted
in making the copy. Mr.. Tolman
pointed out that the glass industry
is indebted to Northwood for the
pioneer work in improving methods
of decorating glass and for creating
the most important examples of
cameo glass made since the early
Christian era

by her husband. On one occasion
they were attending the durbar in
India when they came across a very
ancient jeweled necklace which had
been worn on state occasions by one
of the great maharajahs. The neck
lace was a triumph of the silver
smiths art of several centuries ago in
its workmanship and design. The
insets OF rubies, sapphires and en-
eralds are not faceted but are pol
ished and set deep in the settings;
the pearls are large and lustrous.

The Farley Corridor
Reflects Friendliness.
Notwithstanding the Post Office
Department is at this time the
busiest place in town, there is a
kind of Farley air of friendliness
about the building. The long corri-
dor or reception room next to the
executive suite which teens with
life and activity when the Congress
Is in session has a deserted look.
One lone visitor waiting to see the
Postmaster General and the attrac-
tive young receptionist were the
only occupants. This corridor is
like a medieval hall such as King
Arthur and his knights of the
Round Table might have felt at
home in. The lovely paneled walls
of American and Circassian walnut,
with reflected lights and deep
shadows, the great pillars like giant
walnut trees-splendid, simply splen-
did. OF course, there are more IA
nous corridors in the world-for in
stance, the Polish Corridor which
Is again coming into the news. Just
a little strip of land as it is but
filled with hopes and ambitions
since the Great War, now gloomy
and depressed with uncertainty.
There is the red corridor at the
White House, and the corridor of
statesmen at the Capitol, but none
80 grand and beautiful as this one
which leads to the private suite of
Mr.. Farley. Mr.. Farley believes in
the open door policy-when he is
out of town. for any one can walk
into his private office and look
around. Liberty, equality, fra
ternity is all over the place; beauti-
full side lights are crystal fasces,

Farleys Are Old Fashioned
American Family.
With malice toward none and
charity to all seems to be the key
note of Mr.. Farley's life story. An
untiring worker, keen observer of
men and affairs, he seems to pos
sess the virtue of loyalty to a de-
gree. He may differ with President
Roosevelt, but his book shows he
has a deep and abiding affection for
him. There are times when the
brain-trusters must annoy him, but
he says "" for the most part
they have hewee very closely to the
line that government must be made
more humane" And he adds:
(Which to my mind is the out
standing political lesson of the age"

straightforward. with cheerful, plain every
day philosophy about life. No reaching out
after ideologies or isms for he deals daily
with plain material things and with men.
He might, perhaps, tell you that he knows
nothing about the genius of politics-he only
knows the practical side as 1t may directly
affect the human being.
He has frequently said that he likes
people and in his life story-now off the
presses In attractive book form-he says:
Politics is people-people at their best and
at their worst !" filled with inordinate am
bition, do foolish things and wear themselves
out trying to attain the impossible Poll
tics is never dull and never the same" Up
from small town in New York State he grew
gradually, not finding himself famous over-
night; perhaps in the first flush of victory
surprised to find himself right out on the

Canal, down the west coast Of South

it, you'll be amply rewarded with a
recital of her adventures, 10th anus

Aboard she found only four 9TH

the round trip. Otherwise the pas,
sengers were South American busi-
ness men or government officials and
their families. The untapped wealth
of the sister continent to the south
was a source of great wonder to our
