‘DRIVEONDIVORCE 15 DUE THIS YEAR Uniform Law Is Aim of Re- formers—Want Marriage Made More Difficult. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. The year 1825 will be marked by " & new drive on the part of some of the i reform organizations making thelr « headquarters here for uniform divorce laws throughout the country.

BY LEIILA MECHLIN. HE Phillips Memorial Gallery has extended its exhibition facilitles by opening a little gallery in tee Phillips resi- dence communicating, up & few steps, with the main gallery in the annex. In thisg little gallery, which has excellent fghting, are to be installed during the remainder of the season a serles of one-man shows to run a fortnight each. The series was inaugurated this week by an exhibition of the recent work of Mar- jorfe Phillips—a good beginning, and one which augurs well for the in- terest of the plan. Superb examples of Mrs. Phillips’ work have been seen in the Corcoran Gallery's most recent contemporary exhibitions and now and again in the Phillips Memorial Gallery, besides which a collection of her work was exhibited last season in New York, attracting very favorable notice The 10 paintings now on view have not heretofore been shown. For the most part they are landscapes painted in the vicinity of the Phillips’ coun- try home in Pennsylvania, hence they envision rolling mountainous scenery of a picturesque and engaging type. In breadth ef viaw most of these landscapes sre almost panoramic. They differ widely. however, from the usual panoramic scene In agreeable concentratiof of interest, unity of offect. Mrs. Phillips shows in these works admi®able feeling for form. Her landscapes have structural virili- ty. She had felt the roll of the land | the rough @ontours of the hills' turn- ings. 1t Is this particular feature that she has rendered expressive. Her wner is extremely simple, forceful, To af extent her works savor influence of the modernist but they are invariably sane tempered. She takes the best and avolds exaggeration Two of the pictures in the exhibl- tion are of the sea on the south shore of Long Island in the vicinity of Southampton, and are true interpre- tations of place, rendered with a large simplicity <uggestive of cl mod- els. Two still-life themes flow- ers and the other fruit, lend color to the collection, and a plcture painted from the Luxembourg garden looking toward the Pantheon in Paris recalls vividly the unrivaled charm of that enchanting place. Finally, there is a picturs of New York seen from a high window, a very complicated compos tion renderad with apparent ¢ nd certain pleasurable quality. There is dificult drawing and an extremely nice adjustment of tone and color values, which go to make it an in- teresting subject of study to the technician, the professional In all of Mrs. Phillips there is a lyric quality, a suggestion »f mnuch beld In reserve, sustained strength and reticence. and at the same tims a vary difinite charm which is gnite her own The Phillips Memorial Gallery open to the nublic only on turday and Sunday after- N m 2 to 6 on other b during this series will bs open every * % x = R AND MRS. JERRY FAR WORTH of this city, and Burleigh Parkhurst of Boston, who is spending the nd season in Washington, are exhibiting at present at the Arts Club. Mr. Farnsworth and his artist-wife, who was Helen Alton Sawyer, have the two rooms upstairs, while Dr. Parkhurst’s paint- Ings are displayed in the front room on_the first floor Both Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth are pupils of Hawthorne, and much of the work shown was painted at Prov- catown. Mrs. Farnsworth, however, has all her life been a pupil of her father, Wells Sawyer, and shows in her landscapes traces of his influence. as well as the influence of the Prov- incetown School. Among the younger painters few have more promise than these two. The room at the Arts Club is much too small for the show ing of these works. Mr. Farnsworth's “Accordion Player” and “Henka Berry and Her Husband” were both included in the recent exhibition of the National Academy of Design hung on the line in the Vanderbilt allery, here they appeared to cellent advantage. At the Arts Club one must see them too close to get the correct impression Following in the footsteps of his master, Mr. Farnsworth employs as backgrounds imaginative schemes which to some have the appearance of back-drops. The purpose, ob- viously, is to stress the figure and to intensify the human drama portrayed, the drama of life which is varlously interpreted by each and all. There is much to be said in favor of this work: its strength, its directness, its dramatic appeal are all eminently worthwhile, but there is no reason FURNITURE RENTING FOR Household Office Receptions Parties Conventions Drives Weddings 5,000 Folding Chatrs Always in Stock | H.

It is frequently said that American painting has no national characteristics, but this work of Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth, collectively and individually, is insistently American and of the hour. 5 Mrs. Farnsworth's landscapes are exceedingly forceful, goed in color, well arranged, professional in every aspect, but they tell their story at a glance, there is little held in reserve. * Ok ok * R.

The municipal theater at Tivoli is also to be turned over for operatic reproductions—a great and graclous courtesy on the part of the Italians. A NOTABLE retrospec’ive exhibition of British paintings brought to this country by the English-Speaking Union will be shown in the Grand Central Gallerles, New York, durling the present month, January, 1925. These pictures are from various own- ers throughout Great Britain, and are lent as a courtesy to the American people. The collection consists of works by old and modern English masters, beginning with Hogarth and coming down to the living painters. They were selected by Sir Robert Witt of the British National Gallery and John Singer Sargent. The collec- tion includes 10 of Mr. Sargent's pic tures which have never before left England.
