) Parents and Children:
youngsters
confused
By GLADYS BEVANs


MY father" writes a
W young mother, lis a
great tease. He takes most
of it out on my little boy, his
grandson. Also he likes TO
rough him around - thinks
it's good for him. But let
Billy tease him back-or let
him punch, get rough in his
childish way and the roof
flies off! Then he's in dis
grace and I'm supposed to
spank him."
The children'S father was
fooling with them. They'd got
ten to the point of calling each
other silly names, each vying
with the other. Then getting
wilder and wilder, one of the
children used an expression in
innocence and fun, which af.
fronted the sophist t icated,
grown-up ears Of his father.
Suddenly a cloud descended.
Fathers expression changed.
Now you've gone too far" he
said. And all the hilarity and
happiness went out of the at
mosphere and the children were
like little debated balloons.
Another time, mother. who
was jolly and strong, was
"roughing" with the children.
In their exuberance one Of the
children wound up by delivering
a resounding whack where
mother thought he shouldn't.
Her dignity, which She herself
had laid aside, was hurt.
Nov that is disrespectaful,"
she said. "You always go too
far" Once again the joy went
out of life for the children,
wilted by the displeasure of
their mother.
Children are bewildered by
these abrupt changes of attitude
in their grown-ups. Children
always go too far" we say. Yes,
they certainly do, if you start
something. Only to them it isn't
going too far. They don't know
where to stop before offending
our sense of dignity. They can't
appreciate at all the fine line
that we draw. And we can
hardly expect them to.
It is unfair to let a black cloud
of displeasure descend suddenly
upon a scene of fun, to show
hurt feelings and frown, or scold
or punish for an innocent STEP
ping past our boundary of suit
ability when we come to their
level and play with the children.
If we want to call halt. all
right, but let's do it in good
natured way. Otherwise, if your
dignity is so precious and your
feelings so delicate don't get
down from your pedestal at all.

TO be 1Ound IN the small adjacent
gallery given over to contemporary
works by artists of all nations-a
miniature international. Here In
small space is manifested the many
sidedness of the art of painting.
Next to the visiting Casorati is a
painting of a group dancing by
Tolegian, Armenian-American; then
come successively paintings by Per
Krohg. Norwegian; Maurice Sterne,
Russian by birth; Hofer, German,
first prize winner in the Carnegie
Institutes recent International;
Klee, Swiss-German; Duncan Grant,
English; Doris Lee, American; Soyer,
Russian-American; John Graham,
white" Russian, once in the Cars
army, and Eugene Berman of the
same nationality.
The painting by Hofer was shown
in the Carnegie International and
acquired therefrom. 1t represents
group Of young women on the sea-
shore, bathing. and is entitled
Summer Day" While very much
in the style Of his prize-winning
canvas, The Wind" this painting
has in it something reminiscent of
the works of Puvis de Chavanne-
or the studies that he made for his
epoch marking mural decorations.
1t would seem to be more study
than finished work, but it carries
conviction through its strength.
The painting by Doris Lee is likewise
a late acquisition-purchased in
Chicago after having been shown in
the Art Institute there. It is in
what has come to be known as the
"primative American style" and rep
resents. it is said, a typical Illinois
town on a river.
On the stairway has now been
hung an English genre by Carel
Weight which was included in the
Carnegie International and is in its
way quite as naive and unsophisti-
Gated as the work by Miss Lee. It
is entitled "An Episode in the Child
hood of a Genius" and shows the
mother Of the painter perilously
perched on an iron trellis to which
she is said to have climbed from an
upper story window, and from which
she was rescued by man with
ladder who performed the feat in
the presence of a horror stricken
group of onlookers. 1t is, of course,
all apocryphal and of the artists
imagining, but it is painted with the
minutiae of detail of fact. It's in
clusion in the Phillips collection,
even temporarily, gives indication
OF Mr.. Phillips desire to be hospit-
able to all phases of modern en-
deavor in this field, to show not one
but many sides.
This liberality of viewpoint is
still further illustrated by another
canvas now hanging in the main
gallery, Christ and the Fisher
men," by Rouault, who was already
represented in the Phillips Gallery
by a larger and more important
painting of three men, done after
the manner of the stained glass of
the Gothic period, heavy black lines
taking the place of the leading. The
more recent acquisition, which was

Sponsors Exhibition.
France of the painter and the anti
quarian, the same France which is
sought by every lover Of picturesque
beauty and historic romance, Is
glimpsed again in recent water color
paintings of the Loire, Brittany and
Paris by Philip Retz. Sponsored by
His Excellency the French Ambassa-
dor, Count de Saint-Quentin, this
exhibition opened last Sunday at the
Chalet Nonpareil Art Gallery, 7103
Old Georgetown road, Bethesda, and
will continue through December "a.
Mr.. Retz is an architectural drafts
man in the War Department, but
as is the habit with many of his
profession, he spends his holidays
in search of paintable subjects. Also
like many of his fellow architects,
he eschews experimental techniques,
contenting himself with portraying
what he sees, with the result that
his paintings are intelligible to the
layman, and provide the pleasure Of
recognition to all who are familiar
with the originals of their subjects.
Employing aquarelle in a medium
wet wash, Mr.. Retz utilizes the paper
for outline effects in portions of his
work. His absorption in the great
monuments of architecture is obvi-
Gus; in most of the paintings now at
the Chalet Nonpareil, cathedral or
castle or bridge is the center of in
terest. "L'Abbaye de Sainte -Croix,
Guingamp," with the sunshine on its
mellowed towers, Stairway Of
Honor, Chateau de Blois," "Josselin
Castle" and "St. Nicolas at Blois"
are some of the best. A view OF

premiership in the so-called trades,
one having been a trained mechanic,
another bricklayer. In art today
they are struggling for adequate ex-
preston Of those things which they
have found most stirring. That art
is long and time fleeting does not
deter them. The adjustment of such
to social and economic needs in time
will insure independence is not
simple matter-but one for grave
consideration.

which seem to emphasize ugliness
and misery and reformation un-
necessarily, and without reason.

Kaz's Adam and Eve" far from
engaging; Malliol's Standing Nude"
Is coarse and unlovely; Anita

Stand" a work ver-dramatized for
the sake of propaganda, but the
proportion In comparison to the
whole is very small, and it should
be borne in mind that, as Stanley
Casson once put it, Sculpture is an
expensive, rather than a lucrative,
profession" and those who give
themselves to it have done so be-
cause of the urge to find therein
expression for ideas and emotions
which cannot be denied And when
1t comes to evaluation, what could
be worse than the statues of soldiers,
which. as Civil War monuments, dot
our land, or the sculpture of Amer
lean heroes which came to us from
Rome in the early days of our re-
public wearing Roman togas, to say
nothing of the effeminate nudes in
imitation of Greek goddesses. With
these held in remembrance, criticism
of present errors and shortcomings
will be tempered with charity and
hopefulness at least.
Finally. a word should be said in
praise and appreciation Of the very
interesting and excellent series of
81 drawings by exhibiting sculptors
which constitute feature Of this
exhibition. These are artists studies
and go to show what capable drafts
men some OF these sculptors are and
how much effort proceeds the cut
ting or modelling OF work in the
round. To include them was a
most excellent idea.
This exhibition will continue to
January %, and is free to the public
on Wednesdays and Saturdays-a
small fee for admission being
charged on other days.
The Phillips Gallery Makes
Acquisitions to Its Permanent
Collection, Which Is No1D
Supplemented by Loans.
A misreading, or Interpretation, Of
q notice sent out last week by the
Phillips Memorial Gallary led to the
erroneous announcement in these
columns Of the exhibition here of a
section Of the Carnegie Institutes
International. Such a section is to
be circulated among American art
museums, but will pot come to
Washington. Instead the pictures
referred to as on view, or to be on
view in the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery, were two purchased for the
permanent collection and two or
more lent temporarily. One Of the
works purchased was Castle from
the River Prague" by Oskar Ko-
koschka, Czecho- -Slovakian; one Of
those lent, "Marilena," young
woman in a blue gown, by Felice
Casorati of Italy. The former has
been placed in the main gallery in

almost grotesque in its homeliness
and hence, because Of its subject, to
many, revolving. The makers
and scu)ptors of the Gothic period
were ignorant but intensely sincere,
and they wrought to the best of
their ability, with reverent intent.
In this respect the wheel of time
can never be turned back, especially
by those who have presumably eaten
OF the tree Of the knowledge of
good and evil" In this respect the
sculptors have been wiser
than the modern painters-what
they have done Is in larger measure
their own-the fruit of their own
time and emotion. Recalling the
past and looking open-eyed at the
present, even as exemplified in the
choice Phillips Gallery collection of
modern works, no one, it would seem
could honestly declare this to be an
age of painting-or gainsay the as
sertion that at the present time the
art has sunk low. This does not
mean, however, that it will not re-
vive. Art may at times slumber, but
1t never dies.
