Little Mile Green started to school

she thought you went to school not
TO work but TO play.
when she came home with her re-

Her mother was surprised because
there were failures on each side.
Little Willie was punished, she had

You couldn't find little girl that

And she made better grades In

ing for Bapt. Church, the late J. Allen
Kirk officiating and many older Bos-
tonians will recall the lovely bride and
the beautiful home the young husband
had provided for her at 6 Melrose
St., newly renovated and splendidly
furnished. Two children were born
of the union, Mortimer w. and Mer-
cedes, now Mrs. Burgess. Mr.. Trice
died in June of 1914, leaving his
widow with the young son and little
daughter.
Mrs Trice first joined st. Bartholo-

the pastorate of Rev. w. D. McClane
but later joined Columbus Ave. A.M.E.
Zion Church. She was a woman of
unusual sweetness and strength of
character, active in the community
and friendly to all. She was an ar
dent race woman, supporting Editor
TrOtter in all his activities for the
beterment of the race. She especially
aided in functions to raise money for
the Cause, taking active part in the
annual Done Day" picnics at Gale
DOMAIN Grove.
Surviving to mourn their loss are
the son and daughter, one grand
son, Leroy L. Burgess, a brother,
George Bowden, a sister, Sadie Nc

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their perHicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within

The exhibits are arranged, not
according to method Of production,
but with regard to congeniality and
effect; and this is well, for, after all,
the way work of art is produced is
far less important than the result
attained. The range Is very wide
from cubism and the abstract to the
traditional and ~naturalistic. But
why not, If we are free people and
capable of making choice? Two of
the three prints which received
awards in Philadelphia are included
In this showing. They are EARLY

dIIO Oil cUCIlN. comprising only
"a prints, the display demonstrates
no less than nine methods of color
printmaking. Wood blocks head the
list, with 10 examples; aquatints
come next, with S; there are 8
Autographs, 2 stencils and one each
Of dry point, dry point and aquatint,
wood engraving and monotype, all
of which methods require technicues
distinctly individual.
Before considering any of the
methods or the excellent examples
shown, let it be recorded that the
society is one of the youngest in the
country, being only a few months
old. Established in Philadelphia,
with the Print Club on Latimer
street as its home, it has held but
one exhibition, which, most ap-
propriately, was in the Print Club
Galleries, and what we have here is
selection OF this inaugural showing
That 1t is lusty infant none who
sees this display will doubt, and the
fact that the membership is Nation
wide goes to show how extensive Is
the practice of the art it sponsors.
Color-print making is by no means
q new invention. A Dutch painter
and etcher, Seghers by name ex-
perimented with it considerably in
the 18th century, using etching as a
base. He worked in only one color,
however. In the early part of the
18th century, LIE Bon of Frankfort
experimental with three colors, and
carried the knowledge of his method
to Paris and London. In due course,
there followed aquatints and mez-
zotints in color, in some instances
works of rare beauty and charm.
But all this color printing was pro-
duced in connection with intaglio
plates-that is, plates in which the
line was cut or etched, or the surface
roughened so as to hold the printers
ink, works complete in themselves,
to which color was added to enhance
Evening star., 1940-03-10

print entitled "Grey Winter" which
has subtlety as well as the sterner
virtues of good drawing and COM
position. But probably the aquatint
in color by John Taylor Arms will
prove the surprise of the exhibition,
for Mr.. Arms is known interna-
tionally for his etching in line. Be-
fore he began etching, however, he
did number of aquatints in color,
some while sojourning on Lake Como,
others as souvenirs of wider travel.
The one of junk lifting its sails
as the light strengthens or wanes
may date from that period, or more
likely represent q more recent ex-
cursion into less-frequented tech
nical field-just as d young colt
sometimes leaps the bars for gallop
in the next pasture. Needless to say,
1t is an exquisite work, done. with
meticulous care, but also with free
dom-and, above all, permeated by q
sense Of beauty.
Block Prints.
Wuanita Smith, who was well
represented by etchings in the re-
cent miniature exhibition in, the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art, shows here
a block print of "The Prov" Of .
boat. While picturesque, it savors
a little too strongly of Hiroshige, the
great Japanese printmaker, al
though the resemblance may be
purely incidental and unconscious.
Mary Mullineux's block print Of
"The Trellis," on which morning
glories are in bloom, is very colorful
and decorative, but suggests chintz
rather than work of art which is
primarily individual and pictorial.
There is q three-plate color aquatint
by Stanley Oswiczynah, Cleveland,
entitled "Cezanne's Landscape"
which seems without organization
and makes one wonder wherein for
the artist was the allure-to say
nothing Of compensation for trouble
and pains. But that Is something
which only he can answer.
There are one or two "abstrac-.
tions" which, ~ such, may be good
to those who can comprehend them,
and . coupls of nudes and fsurs
