Allan and Norman, seated on q sofa
with their cocker spaniel, KIP" be-
tween them-an excellent compost
ton but not altogether well unified.
In such wise, 1t will be remembered,
Albert Herter once painted his two
sons, but with this difference-that
they sat back to back with but one
pillow between, each absorbed in
reading. Mr.. Sloan also shows a
delightful drawing of Norman when
younger-a broad-brimmed hat on
his head, and over his white suit,
overalls. Most charming are two
portraits of little girls, one Of blond
Jane Weber, done delicately in pas
tel, another Of lass in pink, Sally
zimmerman, in pencil and chalk,
transcribed very sensitively.

an American girl during the Revo-
lutionary period. The heroic
Frenchman seems to have given
away quite a number of such
souvenirs. There are several in the
present show, and all are different.
One interesting printed paper fan is
decorated with facsimiles of bank
notes Of the new French Republic
and must have been a gift of Lafay-
cites 1924 tour of the United States.
Eight court fans have elaborate
scenes with figures. The Autographs
are hand-tinted. Five so-called
"brise" fans, their sticks held to-
gether by ribbons instead of q leaf,
were popular in the late 18th and
early 10 centuries.
Reticules.
Beaded bags much like our own
today, except that the older bags
were without frames in most in
stances, and closed with draw
strings (silk cords or something
similaD were called reticules q CEN
tury ago and earlier and served the
same purposes as handbags today,
Nearly 40 are shown In the D. A. r..
Exhibition. Some have elaborate
scenes with figures, but the majority
are beaded in horal designs. Many
have similar patterns and colors
(bright reds and blue predominate) ,
indicating that their creators OBJ

come to light at this time when the
world is so full of suffering and 30
many are bearing the cross is extrsL
ordinary, and yet the finding came
about in q most natural way. A
Frenchman Of distinguished lineage
in 1888 inherited an ancestral home.
Taking possession, a general cleaning
took place with the result that this
canvas was discovered in the attic.
When shown to . friend, who WAS
an art expert, its identity was estab-
lished. There seems to be no possible
doubt Of its authenticity. Bellini was,
1t will be recalled, the teacher Of
Titan. and in this painting both IN
manner and spirit Is manifested a
certain similarity between the work

utterly strange, though In common
use only century ago, conjure up
q vivid picture of our ancestors of

Lafayette Fan.
Fans compose the largest and most
engaging group. Although these
were historically the weapons of CO.
quettes, who revealed their emotions
by the manner of fluttering, closing
or tapping the fans, many Of them
are beautiful objects, regardless Of
their social uses. The fan is habit
ually composed Of leaf, sticks and
guard. Sticks were Of pearl or
pierced ivory, finely fretted horn,
sandalwood or tortoise shell, as one
may see from the examples in the
D. A. r. exhibition.
One especially charming fan has

broidered and painted with cupids.

may see-r trivial: but. in fact, they
are far from it. Not only do they

Is essentially the art of our day.
In part, this may be subjective,

Among the members are such we'll

Lovers Gifts.
Young men who properly bestow
books, flowers and candy upon young
ladies of their acquaintance, would
be surprised to see some gifts which
were de rigueur between 18th CEN
tury sweethearts, such as pieces Of
wood hand-carved in elaborate geo.
metrical or other designs by the
donors, which the recipients thrust
into their stays to preserve their up
right carriage.
Pockets Of homespun linen en-
broidered with colorful and well.
balanced floral designs were worn
around the waist as one wears an
apron. These seem utterly alien to
us, but other examples Of century,
old needlework might have been
made yesterday. AS to size, the
handmade lined gloves on view
could easily fit hands that shovel
coal or more furniture. They must
have been as uncomfortable as the
brocaded slippers and wooden pat
terms or clogs milady wore on rainy
days. But all of the items In the
D. A. r. exhibition are worth seeing.
The show is open for the summer,
and the public is also invited to

In celebration Of this work pays
your community" week, the District
Work Projects Administration Art
Unit has held an exhibition in the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art of paint
ings, prints and works in sculpture
produced by its members, which
completely filled the gallery Of spe-
cial exhibitions. Opening q week
ago, it continues through today.
Taken al In all, this is q rather
melancholy show, drab In color and
poor In quality. OF the artists
earnestness and sincerity there Is
no doubt, but what could be more
tragic than high ambition coupled
with puny capacity7 Obviously,
there Is something wrong with the
artists or with the system, and
more likely 1t is the latter than
the former. There can be little or
no inspiration In painting for .
wage, and without inspiration art
is hfeless. But, some will say, what
Is the difference between painting
Tor . wage paid by . Government
agency and painting under Govern
ment commission? It Is this-for
the latter, there is . specific place
and need; for the former, such have
to be made.
It has been truly said that the
spirit Of . people Is manifested in
their art; this being the case, the
spirit Of the American people Is
very low today, for even in the
big exhibitions Of works by reason
ably successful, self-supporting art
lists, there Is dullness and detection.
This was not true Of the iirst p.

when the depression was at it,

has been steadily going down. There
