Cornelia Chaplin Sho,ps Sculp-
ture in Stone From Liuing
Originals.
There will open today, with a
private view, in the Whyte Gal
lery an exhibition of sculpture by
Cornelia Van A. Chaplin of New
York carved directly in stone without
being first modelled in wax or clay
and cast in plaster. The majority
of these are of animals or other
creatures, such as frogs, snails, tor
toises, etc. All have been done
directly from life. Two are in ebony,
the rest in stone, marble and vol
canic rock.
Miss Chaplin is the sister of Mrs.
Francis j. Biddle Of Philadelphia
and of an old New York family.
She is at present occupying a studio
on what is known to old New York
ers as Murray HILL" where she is
not only working vigorously, but
exhibiting, informally, examples of
the art of her one-time master,
Mateo Hernandez, sculptor and
painter, who was one of the first
to turn back, in recent years, to
sculpture in stone and other hard
material, and to interpret animals
| in way both vital and his own.
Hernandez, who is well known in
this country, is living at present at
Meudon, France, where, it will be
remembered, Rodin had his country
home, and there, in his garden, he
has, for safety, buried, for the dura-
ton of the war, not only his own
sculpture, but also one Of Miss
Chapin's. In praise Of her achieve

because the merit of his work had
failed, but on account, to a great
extent, of a shift in fashion which
he could not or would not follow.
Thought in his own day rather ex-
treme cat one time member of
THE Eighth, Ernest Lawson seems
to us today almost entirely con-
servative-his ideals obviously those
of tradition, the discovery and mani
festation of beauty through art.
Mr.. Lawson was first and last
landscape painter, but not one who
was willing merely to simulate
things seen. Living at the far north
end of New York City, he painted
again and again High Bridge and
the valley it spanned. Most fire.
quently, he used as his themes
commonplace scenes, but invariably
he glorified them with the beauty
which was their own, which likewise
to the eye less seeing than his might
have been overlooked. Moonlight,
springtime, the variance of light and
shadow endowed what he saw with
spirit and aroused his emotions
But how he must have worked,
piling up the pigment as he did
until he had created a surface which
had texture beautiful to behold
and tempting to the fingers! To do
this and retain from first to last a
perfect scale, harmony and unity
is a task which only the gifted and
trained could have achieved.
Furthermore, his compositions are
admirable. How often he must have
taken liberties with nature to attain
this end, and yet how completely he
makes the beholder feel that what
he pictured was only the truth.
This is being an artist-and, regard
less of fads and fashions, one who
will live.

Art Students DispIuy

The Abbott School OF Fine and
Commercial Art last week held it's
midwinter exhibition. On the walls
were life drawings, water colors,
illustrations, posters, commercial de-
signs and studies in interior decora-
tion of an exceptionally interesting
character. Special commentator
can be given the spirited and very
correct life drawings and the studies
of still life in water color, as well
as the amazingly clever and know
ing illustrative compositions, all of
which were far above the average
school attainment. In costume de-
sign and its rendering, the students
also made high record, showing
in their work originality and skill
IN rendition. It is not bad idea
to have all the arts under one roof
elbowing one another, and although
no school can promise to produce
genius, one so broad in its vision
and sound In principle can do much
toward raising the level of taste,

Phillips Memorial Gallery
Paintings by Ernest LaDSon
Sho1Dn in Memorial Exhibition.
Ten paintings in oil by Ernest
Lawson now constitute a memorial
exhibition in the Phillips Memorial
Gallery and fully manifest the rare
and unusual talent of this artist,
who, late in December, met death
by drowning in the sea at Miami
Beach. Mr.. Lawson was born in
San Francisco in 1873 and was q
pupil of J. Alden Weir and John
H. Twachtman, both of whom in
fluenced him strongly. He must
have studied in Paris about the time
that "impressionism" was at its
height, and, because of his manner
and use of pure colors in juxtapo-
sition, he was once said by the we'll
known critic James Huneker to set
his palette with crushed jewels.
Elected an associate of the Ma
tional Academy of Design in 1908,
he was admitted to full membership
in 1917. The list of his awards is
long and distinguished, and 20
years ago his paintings were not
only much in demand but COM
manded high prices. Yet the last
years of his life were spent in
poverty and loneliness. Why? Not

~ calls on the shut-ins of the con-
gregation. News of the strange
wife had filtered into sick rooms
and she was met with curiousity,
animosity in a few homes.
Jan was her sweetest self and
the animosity died under the spell
of her charm. The last call was
upon Mrs Sophie Swift. She and
Jan had become fast friends since
the day Of the acciednt. Jan
fitted across the alley and in the
back door almost daily.
Sophie Swift had been a power
in the Elm Street church before
her invalidism but for five years
she had been tied to wheel chair.
She was not old. possibly in the
late forties. Her cheerful accept
ance of pain was a mystery to Jan.

local doctors had been able to do

away from the telephone to find
that Jan had vanished up the
stairs. She was sick with disap-
pointment and something more.
Terry didn't know, and she
couldn't tell him, that Dick be-
lieved himself madly in love with
the minister's wife, that she had
been purposely stunning him.

Lack of more hospital and medical
facilities is chiefly responsible fol
the Negroes high death rate from

Liberia, pointed out in delivering
the commencement address at the
29th commencement exercises OF

evening.
"The following facts and figures
may be revealing and interesting,

United States there is one hospital
for each 1O7,00 colored, and one
hospital for each $4,000 white;
there is one hospital bed for each
1000 colored and there are seven
beds for each lilo white; there arc
1.l physicians and hospital beds
available to each colored ply
sician and seven hospital beds
available to each white physician.
I'm the state of Mississippi where
the colored population out numbers

hospital beds for 1000, 600 colored

5000 hospital beds for slightly less

are less than 200 beds for 85O, ,OOO
colored citizens or one for each
$4,000, compared to $4,000 beds
for 100000 white citizens or one
fer each 125.
There are said to be approx
mately 5000 Negro graduate nurses
in the United States. In view OF
the federal governments hospital
construction program, the con-
templated future opening OF nospl-
tails for Negroes under state, local
and private auspices, and the cam
paign vigorously waged On behalf
of preventive medical care, for me
to venture the prediction that
there will be openings for 1000
additional Negro nurses in the
