None challenged his place as the outstanding portrait painter of this era. A list of those whose :portraits he painted through the many years of active life would make a real hall of fame. He was also a mural decorator of note and toward the end worked in charcoal and watercolor. For the last thirty years he had been recognized as the greatest portrait painter. Modest, he failed to grasp himself the place he held among the artists of the world. One of his biographers has given this estimate of the great artist: “That posterity can fail to estimate favorably his facility, his intellect, is improbable. But whether the discerning critics of the future will confirm the majestic prestige which is his present investiture will depend upon their opinion of the respective values of critical and creative art. Sargent was not a creative painter; life did not impress him as an impassioned and significant gesture, but as a collision of surfaces whose irridescences it pleased him to reproduce. Those appraisers who try to bracket him with Frans Hals, the robust Dutchman, would do well to remember the book that. the little housemaid saw spread open, face down, beside the bed from which she could not rouse him. It was a volume of Voltaire.” But Sargent was more than a great painter. He excelled in manhood and was endowed with keen intelligence. He studied human nature and was able to make the character of his “sitters” reflect in his portraits which faculty made him the great artist. His work was more than a likeness. He was also a great American. Coming of sound New England stock, he was proud of his ancestry. His art he learned in Italy, France and England. Many have seen his great mural decorations in the Boston Public Library. Amer- ican he was but cosmopolitan also. England loved him and his death was mourned in special services in Westminster Abbey. His work has often been compared with that of the great Van Dyck. FRENCH DEBT SITUATION Finance Minister Caillaux is approaching the issue of the French debt carefully. There has been no change of the American attitude toward the French debt. President Cool- idge has been firm in his policy toward France and her obli- gations to this country. There is no intention of this ad- ministration cancelling these war obligations nor does the United States believe that their payment is involved in the reparations issue with Germany. The best plan of payment and a fair adjustment of claims are viewed differently by France and by America. That + common ground of agreement can be reached seems promis- ing under the negotiations initiated by the new ministry. When such common ground has been found, the matter of arriving at a definite policy should not be hard in view of the friendship that exists between the two nations. In France there are some who think the claims of this nation should not be paid. Here at home are others who insist that they be paid to the last red cent. Somewhere between these two extremes lies the real solution of the French debt settlement. FRENCH HERO DEAD Death of General Mangin recalls the brilliant services of this war hero to his country. He was known as the hero of Verdun and the Marne. When the Defeatist party gained temporary ascendancy under Caillaux, the veteran soldier was banished to an obscure post, but with the return of “The Tiger” to power he was restored to his old command. In 1918 he barred the passage of the Germans to Paris and rescued the routed Fifth British army. i‘ He had charge of the French and American forces in the fighting between the Aisne and the Marne. Here he won distinction as a brave soldier and a clever tactician. COOLIDGE The president has the appearance of a frail man. On April 14 he shook the hands of 1400 persons. Here’s an experiment: fence. Lift it up and down 1400 times.

The hat is familiar to probably every Nail a piece of rubber hose to a AUTOS Someone advances the idea that we have too many auto- person in the land and is as much an institution as the organization which wears it. It is the one worn by the Salvation Army. It has been the same since 1865 and it carries with it the so'ution to many problems. It is said that a bonnet wears a Salvation Army lassie for six years. That is one solution and the other is that because of its shape, it can only be worn with hair which can be coiled up on the ‘back of the head. You have never ‘seen a bobbed-haired Salvation Army lassie. That is not essen- tially because the army objects to that style, but because of the thing stated above. The usual question of whether to bob the hair thus became to the army a question of whether to bonnet. It is peculiar that this should be true but to take away the bonnet would take something rom the army. Every country jn the world knows that little black bonnet with its flowing strings and its band of black and red. Every country knows that the bonnet means service and pity. The world honors the bonnet for the things for which it stands and for what its wearers have done. They know it in peace. They know it in war. They know it in need ‘and they know it when plenty pours her favors in their laps, It is the answer of the army to the questions of the people and it will beyond doubt remain the same when the styles have changed and changed again. PARIS FURNITURE (Buttle Daily Post) Paris, it is reported, is about to start an anti-antique movement. The plan is to set the fashion in scrapping Louis XIV furniture and banish forever Victorian effects in Great Britain and America. France hopes, after the Paris ex- hibition now in preparation, that the whole civilized world will come to her, not for antiques, but for modern art in household decora- tion. x Perhaps not too many tears will be shed at scrapping the furniture styles of the various Louis periods, but a world which is becoming just. a little independent about Parisian clothing styles may also prove cool toward other dictated fashions from that center. Nobody, how- ever, will object to taking a look at the modern French, turniture soon to be revealed, to a waiting world. It may turn out to be tasteful, strong and comfortable. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON POUCHER PELICAN IN TROUBLE “My! My! My!” somebody’s in a hurry,” cried Doctor Bill as someone went tap, tap on the front door of his hospital. Nancy opened it as quickly as she could, and in walked Poucher Peli- can, none other, his fat tummy wob- bling as he walked, and his market basket tucked under his chin. “Why how do you do, Poucher!” the little bird doctor said hospitably. “I haven't seen you for a blue moon. How are you? You're looking fine.” Poucher never answered a word. He just stood there like the Statue of Liberty and never made a sound. “Aha! Lost your voice, have you?” cried Doctor Bill. “You must have caught cold and it’s settled on your lungs. Is that it?” Poucher shook his head sadly. “No?” Well that's funny! The last time I saw you you were teaching your ¢hildren how to swim out into the water and catch fish until their bill pouches were full. Then they would come back onto the shore and eat them. The fish, I mean, not the bill pouches,” Poucher Pelican nodded. He seemed to remember it, too! It was one time when a shark had chased him—and he never tired telling his friends about it. He always added that it was the only time he had seen a fish too big to eat. For Poucher Pelican’s throat stretches like rub- ber. Indeed, if it didn't sound sim- ply terrible, one might say that he had a regular rubber neck, But now he didn’t even smile at his own joke.

I seemed to have ‘awakened from a dream to find a strange man holding me upright on my weak and trembling legs. There was a great clapping of hands and a loud sound of admiring voices. “Leslie, that was the loveliest ex- hibition ‘of the tango that I have ever seen,” Walter Burke said as he and Ruth rushed up to me. “I did not think it could be done so well outside of South America,” was Sydney Carton's comment. I looked around a bit dizzily. My eyes unconsciously’ were seeking Jack, He was nowhere to be found. Instead, to my surprise, I heard a voice which I recognized, evidently speaking to some ,one who was crowding near. “[ am sorry to see Leslie making such an exhibition of herself. It was quite like a professional dancer.” I turned toward the voice, and looking straight into the eyes of my mother-in-law, I exclaimed, “Why, Mother Prescott, how did you get here? Surely I read aright the telegram in which you said you could not accept my invitation.” “Yes, I did wire you I could . not come, but I changed my mind. I am almost sorry that I did. I ar- rived just in time to see you dancing as if you were a paid entertainer in a hotel ballroom.” “Nice woman,” murmured = Mr. Sartoris in my ear as he led me over nearer to my mother-in-law. He was, ‘however, diplomatic enough to acknowledge his presentation to her very politely, but I noticed he did not fail to say: “As Mrs. Pres- cott’s partner, i want to > remark that I have never known one paid entertainer that has danced with the grace and poetry which your daugh- ter gave so generously to the enter- tainment of her friends just now.” “But I wasn’t trying to entertain- my guests,” I protested. “I just was dancing the tango with a per- fect partner.” As I thanked him for the dance I said, ‘I must now find my hus- band. “Yes, where is John?” spoke up his mother. “I am more surprised than ever to find that you are danc- ing this tango, as you call it, with- out the presence and approval of your husband.” At that moment, much to my re- lief, little Marquise, Jack made his appearance, I ran straight to him “Don't be angry,” I said. “What should I be angry for, Les- lie? Because I am married to the best dancer in the room? Come on, let's fox trot.” We started off. episode was over. I thought the LESLIE.

Just as the pelican opened his mouth, the bird doctor saw the end a fish's tail disappeared from view. Poucher gave a gulp and drew a long breath. “Oh!” he said, “Oh! That feels fine.. I nearly choked to death, s0 I did. I guess you punc- tured him,” “What!” cried Doctor Bill and the Twins all together. “Who?” | “Why you see,” said Poucher, “It was a balloon fish. If I’m quick I can catch them and swallow them before they blow themselves up. But this one was too quick. He was just half way down my throat then he filled himself up with wind—and there he stuck, and I couldn't get him either up or down. I thought I was going to choke to death.” “Then you won’t need any pills,” said Doctor Bill kindly. “No,” grinned Poucher. “If any- m Open jour j body needs pills, it’s the fish.

His father, Karl, died over 60 years ago, and Fritz was an old man. But to most of us, it is almost as if the death of “Britannica” or “Alphabet” were announced. Baedeker, it seems, was a person. To the world, he was a red-backed book, the inseparable companion of the traveler on “the beaten path,” Doubtless, under Franz or Hugo, or whatever is the name of the next generation, or under some anony- mous and soulless corporation, the same red books will still mark the beaten way. And let us hope that the beaten path will also stay beaten. The supercilious scorn of the sophisticated traveler for the usual things is often a pose.

In Which Everyone Was At Fault The Iowa supreme court has re- versed the commitment of an editor for contempt of court in saying of a judge: “Filled puerile person- alties and obi icta, his opinions present a strained effort at humor and sensationalism wholly unbecom- ing in a judge, who, of all men, should be the exuberance of his own verbosity.” Doubtless, as to contempt of court, the reversal was justified. But there should be some tribunal to hold such utterances as contempt of the English language. Courts must stand for a lot of things,. including the “lawese” in which most of their proceedings are conducted. If lawyers were incar- cerated every time they committed assaults on the English language, there would be nobody left at large ih conduct the trials. But newspaper men a’ Iwast should leave their mother tongue in its na- tive simplicity and divectuess.
