FLOOR COVERINGS of Great Distinction and Durability $75..43100 $52.50 At the Corcoran Gallery of Art there is now on view a/unique and interesting collection of palettes used by distinguished artists, collectéd by the late George A. Lucas of Baltimore and loaned by the Maryland Institute of thag city. g Mr. Lucas was himself an interest- ing personality. He was born in Bal- timore in 1824, and educated at St. Mary's College and the United States Military Academy at West Point. Aftej graduating from the Military Academy, he resigned from the Army and took up the practice of engineer- Ing. first working for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and later taking charge of the con- struction of the Central Rallroad of New Jersey. In 1859 he went abroad, and after traveling extensively took up his residence in Parls. Time and again his return to this country was post- poned, due to the interest he took in art and the agreeable associations that he formed among artists, with the result that he remained there as tong as he lived, a Reriod of more than fifty years. * His Puris home, on the Rue de I'Arc de Triomphe, became a center of art life, and he is said to have done much {in the development of public appre- clation of the painters of the Bar- _ | bizon school and of the sculpture of Barye. Mr. Lucas collected and cherished ltho paicttes of his artist friends, so that those on exhibition in the Cor- coran Gallery of Art may be regarded not only of technical interest, but as souvenirs of friendship. In some in- stances, the palettes have been in- scribed by the painters to Mr. Lucas, and not a féw haye on their face lit- tle pictures painted at the time of presentation. To artists and students of art these palettes have a peculiar interest, for they show what colors the artists used and how they arranged them, nd upon these two technical things much of the difference in the char- acter of the artists’ work rests. Fur- thermore, to the general public these palettes give a litte insight into the that he has a great room to himself, he gives us a new sense of his power.’ ‘ * % ¥k The -American Museum of Naturalf History, New York, plans to hold a competitive exhibition of photographs of animals in May, at the time of the annual meeting of the American So- clety of Mammalologists. The pho- tographs will be on exhibition to the general public for one month. Cash prizes will be awarded as fol lows: For the best photographs of animals in the wild state, first prize, $104 second prize, $60, and third prize, $40. For the best photographs of animals in captivity, first prize, $50; second prize, $36, and third prize, $20. No photographs received after May. 10 will be exhibited. ‘The chairman of the exhibition com- mittee Is Herhert Lang of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History, from whom further particulars may be ob- tajned. * % k¥ :_On Bunker Hill, near Boston, stands a monument in commemoration of a battle fought in the cause of liberty, wherein Americans and British were on opposite sides. Near Hampstead Heath, a suburb of London, is another Bunker Hill, on which it is now pro- Posed to-erect a memorial memoration of battles of the great war, waged for the same noble cause wherein Americans and Englishmen fought side by side. Tt is thought that the erection of this memorial, which wilk be quite simple in char- acter, will help to strengthen' the bonds of friendship between England and America. The form of memorial, which has been tentatively selected. is unique— a stone seat or exeda, with pan. duly inscribed and a great globe of the world, with the continents in low relief and the names of the countries, states and chief towns inconspicu- ously cut in the stone. The driginatpr of this scheme and the chairman of the committee is Mrs. S. A. Barnett, widow of Canon Barnett, who established, it will be remembered, the first settiement house in London and who held, we believe, one of the first exhibitions of works of art therein for the benefit of the people of the slums, believing art to have not only pleasurable but uplift- ing qualities.

She was for some years the secretary of the Washing- ton Watercolor Club, and is a wel come contributor to the exhibitions in the larger cities. Her coloring is {fresh and good, and her work is spir- ited and at the same time sound. In other words, her paintings are of a type which wear well because of their generally pleasing character and gen- uine artistic merit. * % ¥k Winfield Scott Clime, formerly of | this city ,and member of the Soclety of Washington Artists, Is represented by a painting in the annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design. which has just opened in_ the Fine ‘Arts building, New York. Capt. Clime was for some years official photog- irapher for the Agricultural Depart- ment. At the time of the war he ‘| went into the Army, was made a cap- tain and sent overseas with the pho- tographic division of the Signal Corps. In his official capacity in the Army he established photographic laboratories both in Paris and in Washington, and it was under his direction that the government's splendid collection of war films was catalogued and stored here. At the close of the war, when released from Army service, Capt. Clime went to New York and deter- mined to devote himself entirely to painting. in which he had already .made considerable progress, exhibit- ing for several years prior to the war with the Washington artists. The ac- ceptance of a work by the National Academy of Design, when for lack of space many of real merit are of necessity rejected, is a real honor which Capt. Clime's friends fell was well earned. * ok k k4 Mrs. M. V. del C.

Mr. Brush is splendidly represented in the Corcoran Gallery of Art by a painting entitled “Mother and Child,” which was purchased from the artist nearly twenty years ago. - N Royal Cortissoz, in the New York Tribune, reviewing this exhibition, pays the painter the following dis- criminating tribute ‘Brush’s artis. tio character is here displayed at full length. It is an original and distin- guished character, one of the finest in ™| the history of American art.

They find life very different when they handle a littie money of their own, and the children feel a difference also. The beauty of the product. made under the guidance of trained teachers, creates a desire for better thingsgin their own homes. The homes s look better and become more attrac: tive and comfortable.’ - * ok ok ¥ Two interestinug instances have been given lately of the correlation of the arts. The American Academy in Rome has lately added to its fel- lowships in painting, sculpture, archi- tecture and landscape,architecture a fellowship in music, open to musical composers of comparatively youthful years, men who have passed their student days, but who are capable of profiting by close contact with European musical culture. A group of friends of music have been collecting funds to establish a second fellowship in music in the academy, to be known as the Walter Damrosch fellowship, and in the in- terest of this_enterprise, and at the same time with the purpose of mark- ing Mr. Damrosch’s fifty years of service, a great orchestral concert was held recently in New York. in which three of the great orchestras com- bined under the leadership of five of the foremost directors. At that time a pldque, by Mrs. Harry Payne Whit- ney. showing the portrait in profile of Mr. Damrosch, was formally pre- sented to him. It is the intention that this plaque shall be eventually placed in the academy at Rome. The second instance occurred more recently in Philadelphia. when the Edward Bok prize of $10.000, offered to the individual who during the past year had done the most for th, eral _uplift of Philadelphi 2 to Dr. Stokowski. award consisted not merely of a check for the promised amount, but a medal, Both of which: were pre- sented in a casket resembling some- what a miniature, old-fashioned, round-top trunk, made of walnut, covered with ivory and with trim- mings of copper gilt. The medal and the casket were designed by Violet Oakley, the distinguished mural painter whose works are in the Penn- sylvania state capitol at sburg and who has lately issued a hand- some portfoliod entitled “William Penn’s Holy Experiment.” showing re- productions of these paintings and glving _in_illuminated text extracts from Fenn's writings. The casket, which, by the way, is 11% inches Jong, 8 inches high and 6% inches wide, was made by Douglas Gilchrist, instructor in metal work in the Penn- sylvania, Museum and School of In- dustrial /Art.
