THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 22, 1 ¢ One Never Knows in China :Ii (Continued From Third Page.) is by chance near enough quickly settles the dispute with a swift swing of his foot. If a beggar becomes im- gbrtunate the Sikh soon causes him to scurry down the street. On the surface Shanghai is orderly. But there is a great deal of unrest and much_crim committed, armed rob- Bty housebreaking, kidnaping for ran- sem, murder. Organized bands of crim- imals exist, even distinct assassination gahgs, members of which may be hired for private killings. According to an official report on file at the municipal headquarters in Shanghai, one of these gangs, known to the police, had in 1928 & record of no less than 35 murders, all “made to order.” This band was mrt!d as a political undertaking to ke way with specified political leaders. It then became an organiza- tlon devoted to professional murder for stipulated prices. The riff-raff consti- tute the working ranks of these crews, hired for shockingly small sums to do the actual work of killing. One ar- ted and confessed murderer, a mem- ber of a strong gang of assassins, stated cemplacently to the police that he had coinmitted the murder for 20 cents silver. Wheh asked why he followed al'; unprofitable occupation, he said at if he tried to get out of the gang he would have been killed and he might well stay on and be sure of food and lter—rice and bed, as the Chinese cvolics say. 3 Dangerous Days. » These are the crimes of peace time. times of political stress there is nat- urally a considerable increase in the mber of outrages and in the boldness the perpetrators.

The Chinese are particularly devoted to the observance of anniversaries. Hence the sinister import of this long list of occasions on which the tempera- ments of the disturbed and disturbing elements of the Chinese population are likely to arise in ebullition. Just about one-tenth of the entire year is thus compassed by tential trouble dates. And every day is a possible trouble day in addition, as some trifling dispute— perhaps just such as that heretofore suggested, between rickshaw coolie and passenger—leads to the arousal of race feeling, t! bitter hostility that three decades ago swept through China in the form of the so-called Boxer re- bellion. Shanghal was not directly affected by that trouble in the Summer of 1900, but Peiping, as Peking is now called, was the center of its culminating phase. There the foreign legations were be sieged for weeks and were finally lieved by- an international force ad- vancing from Tientsin. It was through a conduit underneath the “Water Gate” in the Tartar City wall that some Sikh troops made their way into the legation compound. Today that tower- ing wall, with its broadly open entrance —which gives directly upon the raflway station yard—serves as a reminder of the stirring events of nearly a third of a century ago. But there is another reminder of the Boxer siege, a vivid one, in a bit of wall at the northeast corner of the British legation com; d, a brick wall thickly punctured with bullet holes and shell marks. It has been carefully pre- served, fenced in and painted with the significant legned: “Lest We Forget.” The legations at Peiping—which re- mains the diplomatic capital of China even though the administrative govern- ment has moved to Nanking—are strongly defended against assault by tall, thick walls and by details of troops, On the eastern and the northern sides native houses that formerly huddled close up to the boundary walls have been cleared away to form a wide glacis for defensive reasons. It is now impossible for a hostile force to get very close to the sheltering walls, which are manned with lookouts, even in these piping times of comparative peace. And meanwhile, deep within the compounds the military forces of the nations whose representatives are housed within the legation area are keeping fit with exer- cises and drills. One hot day last Jjuly two squads of Marines were working some three-inch guns in snappy r“l - tice while the Stars and Stripes ly floated aloft. Everything was placid. Nobody was uneasy. But then, one neve: knowvs, in China. Christmas Day With The Master Painters (Continued From Fourth Page.) Nativity. The brief account in the second chapter of St. Matthew, the only description in Scripture, is general- ly combined by the early painters with the fanciful tales of legends. Even the number of wise men was legendary and indeterminate; the tradition that they were three in number was not founded until the fourth century. Modern scholars also tell us that the three wise men were first pictured as of different ages in an Eastern manu- script of ut 550. In a Greek sixth century manuscript their names are mentioned for the first time. For their mgecllveh(lfll of t'tom' '!;anunueme and myrrh we must turn to a e attributed to Bede. Here we ru:?n" “Melchior, an old man with long white hair and a long beard, offered ‘i“‘ged' symbol of the divine kinge dark skin and a full beard, testified his offering of myrrh that the Son Man must die.” A Tavored subject among early Eu- ropean painters, the ‘‘Adoration of the Magi” lent itself to rich and elaborate treatment. The wise men are usually arrayed in magnificent garments and often are accompanied by servants and & bodyguard of soldiery. * ok ox % CONSIDER for example, the Italian version by Beavenuto di Glovanni, now in the American collection of Sir Joseph Duveen and reproduced with this article. It has been pointed out that the Child in this picture shows appreciation of the tribute pald Him— an unusual feature. He is seen'seated on the Virgin's lap while the white- bearded Melchior—in a golden mantle patterned in raised gold relief—kneels before Him and kisses His little foot. Balthazar, of the dark complexion— dressed in a red brocade mantle em- broidered with gold—removes his own kingly crown before the Infant 3 who is greater than he; he holds in other hand a handsome bit of gold- smith’s work, the box containing myrrh. ‘The youngest of the magl, Gaspar—in a fine tunic over a brocade t—is shown holding in his outstretched hand another exquisite plece of goldsmithery, apparently an incense burner. Behind the central group is seen a STEAMSHIPS. in of third form of painting used by the old masters to celebrate Christ's birth, “The Adoration of the Shep- herds,” follows more or less closely the account given in the second chapter of St. Luke, and was frequently painted as mn of the “Nativity,” the two scenes ing brought together in one pictufe. Occasionally, however, the shepherds’ worship—a mixture of fright, humility and joy—is represented in a separate picture. Mr. Clarence H. Mackay possesses perhaps the most important “Adoration of the Shepherds” privately owned in this country. It is an Italian version from the brush of th» renowned Andrea Mantegna and is believed to have hung at one time in the Este Palace, Ferrara. In this painting the event takes place outside the stable in a landscape as lovely as a garden. Joseph is shown (Continued From First Page.) manger, monsignor, and—" the shocked young nun could say Lo more. “What did you do, sonny?” the father asked again, “I—I—rode on the donkey,” sobbed the boy. Heaven was in the smile of the old priest as he drew the child to him. “Sister,” he said, “you shouldn’t have scolded him. I am sure nothing could have pleased the Christ Child more than to have a little boy that close to Him.” Mrs. Nicholas F. Brady, chairman of the board of the American Girl Scouts, at Christmas time does some- thing that is known to very few. With the help of a group of women whom | she has drawn about her she gets the name of every man and woman in the city hospital and sends to each one an individual present, addressed person- ally. No one is forgotten. Even the poor lost souls who have no kin and no other friends, know that at least one person will remember them at Christ- mas—by name. Expressive of the same spirit is the Christmas celebration of another woman into whose life we looked for the answer to our question. She is not a pious woman; the churches know her not, and there are those who would call her ‘“unbeliever,” “sinner.” Yet she believes in Christmas. Extravagant by nature, she splurges at that time. We found her preparing dozens of gifts for the poor in body ‘and soul; not practical gifts, but beautiful, useless things—a bit of brocade, an old carv- ing, some lovely object to into a poor room. “They did not bring mittens and mufflers to the King,” this sinner ex- plained. “They brought incense and myrrh and precious things.” h{:“h.ut‘ Crane is best known as the child 3 ' If the recording angel keeps track of all us mortals, Nathalla is probably down in God’s book as “the child with the Christmas spirit.” Nathalia was alone in the Cranes’ modest flat on Christmas eve when a poor old woman came in. “The charity organization gave me this chicken"—ths old lady held out the proof of her claim—“but I have no pan to roast it in. Could you help me?” “Why, yes indeed” said Nathalia. “You may have our: And she turned back to- her work, stepping again into a world of fantasy where there were no_problems of roasting pans. She forgot the whole af until the next morning when Mrs. Cramne was ready to cook her Christmas turkey and could not find the roasting pan. “Oh, I gave it to the r old" lady!” explained Nathalia. “The charity or- ganization had given her a roasting chicken and she didn't have a pan.” “And now we have no pan,” com- lained Mrs. Crane. “You shouldn't “But, mother, what woul old woman have done?” & “She could have cut up the chicken and cooked it in a pot.” “That is what we can do with the turkey, mother. We can cook it in & pot, and I am sure it will be better than a charity chicken. And—we have 80 much more than many people. And —you remember the story of the bag, mother.” The bag was an embroidered velvet trinket of the fashion of the 90s. It had been given to Nathalia as a sort of an altar offering from the children of & rich man. He had not always been rich. He had known the real bite of poverty. There had been one terrible year when he had been out of work until the week before the Christmas holidays. He drew his pay on Christ- It wasn't enough to pay for all the things that were needed in his humble little home. He thought about a lot of things that were needed, and then he went up to an expensive shop and bought the costly, lovely little bauble. “But my dear,” his wife said on chrl.stn':'u morning, “we need so many “B'hhhl" he whispered, “it's Christ- mas!” So we learned more about Christmas from what our cynic would have called & “doofunny” and from the boiled turkey dinner of a Brooklyn poet.

One of the neighbors who always drop in to share their Christmas cheer is Abraham Tilyou, a boyhood friend of Owen Young's father some 80 years ago. With him Owen Young talks over the problems of the world and just as earnestly the problems of Van Hornes- ville. They discussed this question of a permanent Christmas tree—where it shall be planted and how lighted, and @ new steeple for the church, and clus- ter lights up and down the one street— with a switch to Mother Young's house to turn out the lights when she thinks the town ought to go to bed. They have also during past Christ- mases, rocking backward and forward in their old-fashioned chairs, discussed the schoolhouse, which they agreed must be the finest thing in Van Hornes- ville—"“to make people realize the im- portance of educat '—with the whole community helping to build it.

Notes of Arts and Artists (Continued From Fourth Page.) season. Mention was made a fortnight ago of the group of paintings lent by the gallery to the Public Library, and of the fact that the Memorial Gallery is open this season not mereiy three after- noons a week but every afternoon. An_additional evidence of extension and development is the publication this Autumn of a periodical purposed to appear twice a year under th- title, “Art and Understanding,” a book sim- ilar in size to general reader magazines and containing 118 pages, reading mat- ter and illustrations, the intent of wnich—and an intent well fulfilled—is to open the reader's mind to a better understanding of the art set forth in the Phillips Memorial Gallery. Much of the text in this publication, which is to be issued in the Autumn and in the Spring, is written by Mr. Phillips, and therefore may be regarded as a personal message from a lover and collector of art to the visitor to the gallery. Mr. Phillips is not only an astute collector but a graceful writer, one who has the rare aoility of giving expression to the feelings and emo- tions awakened by art and who knows, better than almost any one else today, how to beautifully embroider such themes so that they in turn become works of art. And yet it is his first and unfailing intention {o induce on th> part of the reader and the visitor an understanding of the artist’s point of view. It is for the artist he is speaking, under the conviction that such under- standing will best lead to genuine preciation—reward both for the artist and the onlooker. In his introductory essay, “Art and Understanding,” Mr. Phillips discusses not only this point but the status of arc today. “Art,” he says, “is the conscience of the creative instinct in ma: s proceeds from instincts which have led to our jobs, our games and ourselves and our desires to perfect the methods ana the rules and to find the perfect appl cation of the means to & given end. He defines art as “one method of com- munication which is also a symbol ot life itself,” and he does not think thac we have too much individualism today. “What we need,” he says, “is not less individual expression ana not less culti- vation of individual sensibility but more, to the end that the art of living will come back and with it the human Jjoys of finding art to match our unique emotional experiences.” Following this introdyction Mr. Phii- lips gives reprints of John Galsworthy STEAMSHIPS. inter Cruises West Indies Mediterranean Around the World 8 America Cruise Folder Make your reservations now for Spring and Summer sailings, in order to secure choice accom- modaticns.

The displa: consists of manuscripts and books bea tifully lettered and illuminated by con- lem}mrfir{ English artists, which in per- fection of craftsmanship hold their own with the great tradition. The majority of these scribes and illuminators seem to be women working in pairs, one doing the lettering, the other the illuminating. Some few, however, are men. The subjects chosen are texts whicn are immortal. In one instance, the story of the Nativity as told in the Gospels. There is a beautiful order or confirmation for church use.
