The, Miniature Painters,
Sculptors and Gravers Society
was founded In Washington a
quarter century ago. with the
worthy object Ito encourage
and stimulate public interest
in the arts in miniature. by
exhibiting them in their true
values, and apart from .the
juxtaposition Of larger works"
This is the major reason for
the annual open exhibition,
the 23d edition Of which is on
view at the National Museum
(adjoining the Washington
Water Color Clubs seth an
nuaD through next Sunday.
Nearly 200 works in many
media are installed in just two
alcoves of the Natural History
Building foyer. They repre-
sent rs artists Of IS States, the
District Of Columbia and Cam
ada. The show was selected by
a jury composed of active
members, of whom the Society
has 81: only Is Of them are
showing in this annual.
The exhibition is high lin
quality and predominantly
traditional, although it seemed
to me that 6 larger proportion
of the paintings are handled
more broadly than in earlier
ANIMALS. Nevertheless. this
looks much like former shows
in the series, due to limita-
tions of size. and representa-
ton of many of the same ar
fists who have long been reg
ular exhibitors.
There are now two annual
awards, the Elizabeth Muhl-
hofer award of $25 for the best
painting, regardless of subject.

GlLJle, 6rOWus So.oUl is q Serl-
GUS, mature, well-organized
first novel.
The scene is Belfast. Lest
some one humble something
about Anglo-Irish and North
of Ireland. it may be explained
that the characters are SYM
pathetic to Fire, not the Brit
ish counties, and are Catho-
lies. They are real Irish. in
turn amusing and pathetic. as
they go about lives restricted
by petty jobs and limited OPP
portunities.
A New Life Begins
Judith Hearne is a spinster,
educated in an Armagh con-
vent, puttering around be-
tween giving piano lessons to
untalented children and teach
ing embroidery, but mostly
existing on a very meager in
come her aunt left her. This
aunt was senile and helpless in
her last years, but Judy kept
her from the institution where
she should have. gone and
looked after her. a slave to
an unnoticed devotion.
Judy. entering her 40's, not
attractive, longing for mar
riage, a home and children,
goes to a new boarding house
in Belfast and meets a new set
of people. There is, in par
ticular, the landlady's brother,
James Patrick Madden, who
has just returned from Is years
in America. He has a little
money and he'd like to go into
some business, if he could find
a partner with an equal
amount to invest.
He finds Judy better edu-
Gated. more interesting than
the other boarderS, and won
ders if she hasn't some money
tucked away and wouldn't
make a good business partner.
She mistakes his interest for
a romantic attraction. He is
not young. but he is a man of
the great world across the
ocean, and she finds him fas-
cinating. Then there is the
landlady's pudgy son, a great
drone who pretends to write
poetry and lives without a
qualm of his mother. And a
couple of waspish women.
There are some rare comic
scenes in the boarding house,
also some drama and a touch
Of lugged-in melodrama.
Turns to Drink
Judy has found that in her
worst Illustrations and bitter
est moods alcohol is a great
help. When Madden, learn
ing she hasn't a shilling to
spare. coolS, she feels her last
chance has gone and she turns
to the bottle in earnest. Her
faith always has sustained her,
but now she begins to doubt.
When she consults the priest,
not in confession, but at the
rectory, she is the worse for
liquor and naturally he can't
do much but advise her to
sober up and see him then.
But she keeps on drinking
and her friends. the O'Neills.
a great family of comparative
wealth. intervene and try to
save her.
Brian Moore has brought
into vivid focus the meaner
side of Belfast, the shabby
gentility of a middle-class
boarding house. Much of this
is brought out through the
eyes of Madden, who contrasts
the matter-of-course splendors
of New York with the discom-
fort and restrictions Of the
Irish port.
Mr.. Moore is a writer worth
watching.
