Mann, which has not been noted by his blographers was his consuming love of growing things and the delight he ex- perienced in transforming a hideous waste place into a glowing garden. He planted what might be described as pecks of poppy seeds in spots on the south side of Chicago, where he had made real estate investments, with the result that the famous flelds of France £ Belgium not nt a more s came into Mann tiousht nothing of 2 trip to Chicago Just to see the fower: in their full gory. He planted phlox, etuntas and other gay annuals and at s suggestion, when property was treated permanently and offered for sale, there were always plantings of such blossoms as peonies, iris and orna- mental shrubs. The south side of Chicago is a succession of little gardens at the present time, for Mr. Mann's en- thusiasm could not fail to inspire all those with whom he had dealings and they became lasting converts. During the war, though intensely patriotic, he was grieved when much of his flower plantings in public triangles and tiny parks had to be dug up to make room for potatoes and the usual war crops. Last summer, however, he had per- suaded the park authorities to return to the old days and plant bushels of annual flower seeds, and he had antici- pated their blooming next spring with keen impatience. Already there is a movement to perpetuate Mr. Mann's memory amidst these flowers which were his delizht. A reviving vogue in furniture is the love-seat, that settee known to the earliest masters of the craft, Chippendale.

Washingtonians of anolder day recall the marriage of the handsome young military attache of the German em- bassy under Dr. von Holleben, Count Charles von Goetzen, to Mrs. Lay, who was the widow of Adolph Lay, and had been born Miss May S. Loney. The countess was handsome, of the blonde type, and with 2 certain dash of manner which made her exceed- ingly popular in Berlin. Young Adolph Lay accompanied her when Count von Goetzen was recalled, but he did not care for Germany, and soon returned to this country, where he found a home and business oppor- tunities in Philadelphia, where he Is now happily married. A son born to the Goetzens was educated at the Ba- the service when the great war be- gan. He, however, never really im- Libed German principles, and when the armistice set him free he came to this country, and is now associated with his half-brother, Mr. Adolph Lay. The countess, whom various Americans saw last summer, has been widowed many years, and when she can dispose of her German property, which {s nearly all about Munich, she, too, will seek an asylum in the home of her youth, She is described very handsome and erect, with smowy hair and rosy complexion. She has borne her part of the burden in tending the sick and aiding the poor, and for some months past has been conducting a sort of kindergarten in her chateau on Starnberger See, out- side of Munich.

Like the Viscount d'Alte at this capital, the marquis survived in the political sense the upheaval which eliminated Portuguese royalty and placed the government in the republican ranks. He was the most noted after-dinner speaker of the present age except perhaps the ven- erable former senator from New York, Chauncey Depew. But the marquis had the advantage of the New Yorker in that he could tell ex- cellent storfes in four tongu He was known for his fastidious taste in dress, and made the fashions far more than the tailors did. He clung to the sharply curved rim to his silk hat and a deep velvet collar on his evenirg coat, and he utterly refused to have anvthing to do with the ITuxedO jacket. His monocle, his gold- topped cane and white kid gloves with yellow silk embroldery on the back were as familiar in the London clubs as _that of any lord of the realm. The marquis was the dean of the corps of ministers and had served in London for more than thirty years. He was also a favorite with King George and Queen Mary and a guest at Windsor several times a year. | _Portraits of Washington by Gilbert Stuart are being carefully located by the trustees of the National Gallery of Art with the hope that eventually they will be deposited in the Ameri- can capital and build up a gallery | comparable to that of London or Paris. Stuart is deemed a genius { worthy to rank with Reynolds, Gains- borough, Hopner and Romney. His canvases lack the fire and colar of these renowned English masters, but his subjects were of a later day and of those less gorgeous in attire. The last portrait for which Washington sat to this revered American master {was in 1798, this being within six months of the revered patriot's de- I Geal of mige, and this canvas is among the most valuable of the world and is {known in art inventories as the Rawle portrait, now the property of Mr. George S.

The portrait was begun then, but was finished aft- er the first patriot had returned to Mount Vernon. It is 25 by 32 inches in the frame and is pronounced by al] critics to be the finest of all the paintings which Stuart made of Washington.

If o, go directly to the Courcoran Gallery of Art and see the exhibition of paint- ings by Walter Ufer, a member of the Taos colony, which opened on De- cember 7, and will be on view until January 1. Mr. Ufer is a Kentur He first saw the light of day in Loulsville in 187 but he is a good a cosmopolitan, having studied painting in the Art Institute of Chi- cago, in Dresden, in Munich and in Paris. Since 1914 hs has made his homie in T , and his pleasure has been, will be seen by the prese exhibition, to paint hat he £ there. He is a picture maker, the great masters of the ol and he makes his pictures of the ma- terial which he finds around him. The forty-one pictures by this painter now to be secen at the Cor- coran Gallery of Art include por- traits, figures, landscapes; many va- rietles of themes—but from first to last they are Taos—Taos in sunshine and in rain, threatened by thunder- storms of flerce intensity, parched by the southern sun, swept by winds spring and autumn dress, at long range and always as eeen by the eye of an admirer, a robust per- sonality., 5 ROS inhabited not only by art but by Indians, Mexicans and Mexi s. They are its life, and the Mr, Ufer represents with the utmost understanding and fidelity. He is a realist of the realists. He is not satis- fied to give an imyression, he sets forth all that may be eeen. For ex- ample, the painting entitled “Her Daughter,” two native women carry- ing Indlan decorated water jars on their shawl-covered heads. They are seen life size as through a window, at arms length, so that every figure on the decorated jars is visible and the texture of the shawls Invites one's touch. But they are painted against a vast landscape background, a stretch of desert country, covered with sage an by birth. brush, that rolls on and on and on for countless miles, presented with the same accuracy as are the women, but never in conflict with them. A strange painting, daring and, in daring, mag- nificen: “Where Desert and Mountain Meet" is another large canvas unfolding a vast panorama of nature's handiwork, the “illimitable” desert limited by the everlasting hills, roofed by storm clouds from which curtains of rain are being let down. To give due Proportion to the landscape the paint- er has introduced, a little to the right center of his canvas, a prairie schoon- er traversing a sandy trail and thus brought into his compositions the drama of human life. This, if judg- ment does not falil, is a great paint- ing. both from the standpoint of exe- cution and significance. Mr. Ufer is a bold brushman, but that he can be subtle when he de- res and very finished in his manner is evidenced by a number of paint- ings in this exhibitlon, most notable perhaps among which s a blue and gold sunset very like those seen on the Mediterranean, entitled, “End of a Perfect Day.” And also by “Two Rid- t the Sky,” the former serv- y as accessory to the latter to_enhance effect. “The Peddler” with his wagon, horses and comrade, “The Watcher” d “In the Land of the Rockies” are all excellent outdoor subjects in which figures take prominent place. The houses of Taos, the plaza and even the artist’s own back yard all are pictured with great veracity and give familiarity to the place as though seen at first hand. “His Portrait” and “Fantasles” are with, presumably, his wife sitting by and, barely perceptible, the spirit of an Indian standing beside the easel. To “His Portrait” has been given e | the place of honor and because of its artistic merit and those qualities which commonly are assoclated with tate called Homewood, and volleys|works of art, it undoubtedly deserves special distinction. It shows a blan. the | keted Indian standing agalnst a plas- ! tered wall on which, at considerable distance to the right, hangs what is presumably an Indian portrait in a dark wooden frame. _Instantly. to one's mind is recalled with accom- panying appreciation of its absurdity the recollection of Whistler's “Moth- er.” But how greht is the difference Yet in each one there is the splendi handling of flat background, grayish of the passport division of the De- partment of State. He had studied t, but never entered the ranks of the professional artists, but that he |is gifted and also not unskilled, all who may see his pictures in the pres- ent exhibition will agree. They make quite an impressive showing. 01l paintin for the most part and {large canvases, they are decorative in design and strong in color. There is a trace in more than onc of the tn fluence of Maxfield Parrish, but they are not imitative. They are chiefly landscapes, toneful dream pictures, evidencing’ on the part of the artist a love of beauty and an imaginative sense. One of these pictures reaches a rather higher plane than the others, It is of the three crosses seen above the heads of the clamoring multitude silhouetted against the evening sky, as they stood, so long ago on Mount Calvary. The masses are In shadow, the whole shadowy scene is envelop- ed in atmosphere. It is as though witnessed at a great distance, but it is impressively dramatic and at the ame time restrained Mr. Adams has not restricted him- self, however, to landscape painting. In this exhibition there are several figure paintings which are well drawn and to an extent convincing. One is .n portrait study of a negro man, pos- sibly a West Indian; another is of a nude man and vet a third of a nude woman, supposedly Eve, entwined by the serpent. The work has not the appearance of a novice; in ecolor, in tone and in texture it 1s good. * % ¥ one of the smaller rooms at the Art Center is being exhibited at this time a group of water colors by Warren W. Ferris of Fredonfa, N. Y., the majority of which have been done in and around Washington. Th are large, rather loose works, commend- able ‘for broad handling and initial strength. One of the best is of the Adams Memorial, that great master- plece of sculpture in bronze by Au- gustus Saint-Gaudens, to which art lovers from all parts of the world make pilgrimages to view in its se- cluded shelter in Rock Creek ceme- tery. ! * * k% AT the Washington Arts Club, 2017 1 street, two “one-man” exhibi- |tlons are now in progress, both in | water color.
