Hobbs, who leaves for New York very soon, held a reception at the Elsmere on Tuesday afternoon in order to afford a last cpportunity to those who wished to see her’ miniatures. So many people have turned their attention to min- jature painting within recent years—some- merely dabbling. in it as a passing fad, some taking it up as a medium well suit- ed to daintily pretty effects and not a few taking refuge in it in the belief that er- rors of drawing will appear less. glaring in the diminutive portraits—that it is a gen- uine relief to find a miniaturist who paints as seriously as Miss Hobbs. That she spares no pains in her efforis to arrive at the most artistic and veracious results is shown by the fact that she always paints a large oil portrait of her sitter before commencing the miniature. Miss lobbs aims first of all to get a likeness, and in her work one is not impressed by alluring color combinations and striking effects of arrangement, but rather by the character and lifelike expression in the faces. In all of the tiny oval portraits which were displayed at the Elsmere the workmanship is very delicate, but she has wisely avoided excessive minuteness, for, as Mr. Baer, the well-known New York miniaturist, has aptly said: “Miniature painting is not a contest of physical eye- sight, and to engrave the Lord’s prayer on a three-ceat piece is not art.” Some of Miss Hobbs’ best work is to be seen in the three portraits of Mrs. Calvin S. Brice, who posed for the largest of these in the gown she wore when presented to Queen Victoria. The texture and evlor of the flesh is well rendered in almost every case, and among the best portraits shown one may menticn the miniatures of Mme. Mel- ba, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, Mrs. John Sherwood, Senator Burrows and Col. and Mrs. Robert I. Fleming. * * ox ‘The movement toward the formation of a National Art Club should engage the thoughtful attention of the artists and art lovers of Washington, as its purpose is to bring all the art organizations of the coun- try into closer touch. It is proposed to epen a club house in New York which shall become a place of meeting for artists and connoisseurs from all over the United States. The club house is to contain a gallery suitable for exhibitions of moderate size. The organization will publish and furnish to its members a periodical which will deal with art topics of timely interest. On the organizing committee are such men as John La Farge, president of the So- ciety of American Artists; George B. Post, president of the American, Institute of Architects; J. Q. A. Ward, president of the National Sculpture Society; Richard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century; Hal- sey S. Ives, digester of the Art Museum in and, many of the art- worth while to send St. Louis, ‘anc 'W. Beatty, director of the Carnegie At Gallery. The organizing cretary is Charlés de Kay, who may be addressed for further information at the Yale Club, New- ¥erk city. * * x Variety of stfhjést usually lends attrac- tiveness to a ‘ptiinter's work, but interest and pleasure arg qyite as often aroused by the presentati@n of-one theme in the full est and most 3é¢#6ct manner at the art- ist's command, Tn'the large collection of pastels, which, azo now on view at Veer- hoft’s and: ard: ta: remain there ‘another week, Wells Chatyfmey has sought for one thing alone—to"plitd before the eye types of feminine Jayelinass. He has been con- tent to set.defvar on canvas “the ilips’) red rcharm, the he@¥én 6f hair,” and Has paid little attention {0 the play of expression in the face: H¢ seems to delight most in portraying fresh girlish faces with their placid young beauty, and it is only by: the slightest variations that he departs from this generat type. Among Mr, Champne pastels the one entitled “Easter Lilies” is especially attractive, on account of the delicate harmony of color and the spirit- uelle beauty of ‘the girl bending over the stalk of blossoms. The piquantly pretty face hanging just above this picture als deserves the admiratic. it has called forth, and the portrait-of Mary Mannering is an- other noteworthy canvas. In one past the artist shows us a girl with a wealth of red hair, very much in the Henner style, and in all the pictures he displays unusual skill in his treatment of hair, whether it be neatly coiled in modern fashion, bound with fillets or flowing unrestrained. In addition to the original work at Veerhof's Mr. Champney shows a number of well- studied copies that he has made from the old masters. * Mr. W. Balfour Ker a promising young student who has been working at the Art udeats’ League here for several year: left on Monday for New York to contin his art study under the greater advantages which the metropolis offers. He has shown a most decided gift for work in black and white, which promises him success in the realm of illustration, but his color sen hich is as yet less developed, may lead him into other fields. Mr. Ker will enter the New York Art League, and under the instruction there and the artistte influences with which he will be surrounded the many friends who wish him success anticipate rapid progress on his part. * oe Mr. Carl Heber, another young man, who during the time he has been in Washington has identified himself with the student fra- ternity, first at the Corcoran school and subsequently at-the league, will probably be on his way to New, York tonight. In sculpture, which is the.branch of art that he is following, he has done a number of excellent things since he came to the city from Chicago, and the three contributions that he made to the S. W. A. exhibition, which closes today, were very favorably re- ceived both by the artists and by the pub- lic. Possibly the best thing that he has yet done is his recently completed bust of Mr. John Hitz, Superintendent of the Volta bureau, for he has caught the character of the genial old gentleman with entire su:- cess and has modeled the head in a very skillful way. The last week of his stay the sculptor has spént in finishing the subtle and delicately’ rdfleled low relief that he has been makihk @f Miss Aileen Bell. Heber goes to New'York to assist Mr. Part- ridge in the latter's studio. it anys The approach? horse show lends an especial intercdt” tU' the pictures of horses and of the chase which are now at Fisch- er’s.

Jerome Uhl expects to pay New York a short visit soon, and will probably leave the city about the middle of next week Among the portraits that are now in his studio is a head of James G. Blaine, which is considered a striking likeness by some who have seen it and who knew the man intimately. Both in color and in the expression of the fac2 it is thought to be very characteristic. Mr. Uhl has also upon his easel an interesting portrait of John Burnett, who is well remembered by all cf the older artists here, though death cut short his career before his artistic ability had brought him recognition outside of Washington, * *O* Mr. Uhl's son, Jerome P. Uhl, who is a student at the New York Art League, was a prominent contributor to the annual ex- hibitionsof the Society of American Fakirs, given by the men and maidens of that in- stitution. At this exhibit, which was held last week, the students displeyed most laughable caricatures of the pictures that are shown in the gallery of the Society of American Artists, and for the costume bail which was held in the evening, Mr. Uhl patterned himself closely after the figure in his caricature. With a stylish decollete waist and the manners of a coy and blush- ing damsel he made such a decided hit that he carried off the second: prize, $7.28 in pennies. Se Mr. Edward Siebert has made a number of excursions into the country this spring, and has brought back several studies that are remarkable for their fidelity to nature. In aduition to his outdoor work he has been making the preliminary studies for a large figure composition Which he hopes to start before very long. The picture represents a religious procession abroad, somewhat similar to the May festivals that are held here in Washington, though infinitely more picturesque. In the crigigal study from which Mr. Siebert will make this large pic- ture the effect of sunlight and the play of color in the costumes make the pageant a very brilliant cne.

Following the loan exhtbit, and for the benefit of the sarhe fund, some of society’s prominent people plan to give a series of tableaux. In these tableaux, which will be given on May 9, a number of famous paintings will be represented and the series will close with a patriotic subject. >—— CLERKS OPPOSE TIME CLOCKS, They Object to Be Known Only Numbers. The time clecks for which the Treasury Department has been negotiating for a long time have been obtained and will be put in operation throughout the depart- ment Monday morning. A great deal of cpposition to the system has manifested itself among the highest paid and most faithful clerks of the department in the last few days. The feeling is particularly high because each clerk has been given a rumber and hereafter, so far as the machines are concerned, will be known only by that number. A machine has been apportioned to cer- tain divisions of the Treasury, and every employe of these divisions will ave to register as No. so-and-so at kis own machine. He must register whenever he comes in or goes out. His record by num- bers and his name will be compared later to see how punctual he is at duty “It's too much like a convict system,” is the way a number of clerks speak of it. ‘The clerks have already been given their numbers. In one division a clerk made a protest on being known as “No. 13.” He succeed in swapping numbers with a man of less superstitious nature. In the same division the men now know each other as “Come Seven,” “Little Joe,” etc. ——_——__o+_____ BROOKLAND." by Atethe recent meeting of the Soldiers’ Home ‘Temperance Union the progrem consisted of fancy dances by Miss Virgie Luckett and her pupils.
