A COLLECTION of 202 exampies of Amer- ican wood engraving during the lasi quar- ter of the nineteenth century was placed on view last week in the Division of Fine Arts at the Library cf Congress. These prints con- stitute a selection from a unigue collection formed by the late Alexander W. Drake, for many years art editor of the Century Maga~- gine, given to the Library of Congress by his widow. This exhibition, which is of exceptional in- terest, will be reviewed at length in these columns next week. THE portrait of Rear Admiral David Watson Taylor, U. S. N, retired, which Margaret Fitzhugh Browne of Boston has just completed @ exceptionally successful. It shows the well known naval officer seated in a chair of simple design beside a table on which there is a model of the battelship Maryland, (which he de- signed), and beside which one notes a blue- print showing a boat’s hull—especially suit- able accessories in the portrait of one who is himself a distinguished naval constructor, and was from 1914 to 1922 chief of the division of construction and repairs of the Navy Depart- ment. Miss Browne has painted her distinguished sitter with apparent frankness and ease. The head is extremely well modeled, the expression thoughtful but alert, the whole pose easy and natural—even to the hands, which rest with complete relaxation in his lap. Here is a por- trait which has certain pictorial features and yet is, as all portraits should be, primarily a presentation of personality and character, an excellent likeness. Miss Browne also completed during her short stay in Washington a portrait of Mrs. Theodore N. Gill, jr, of Georgetown, whom she has painted in evening dress of black velvet with brocade fur-trimmed cloak about her shoul- ders. Broadly and competently painted, it is also effective and good. HE Crichter School of Painting and Applied Arts, 1 Dupont circle, will hold its annual exhibition of student work beginning tomorrow afternoon and continuing through the week. Saturday afternoon, May 23, tea will be served. The public is invited. The school will re-open October 1 in new and larger quarters at 1726 Connecticut avenue, where the Dunthorne Gallery, now at 1143 Connecticut avenue, was previously located. Miss Crichter, the principat-of the school, has been in Roanoke, Va., this past week paint- ing a portrait of Bishop Jett, which, when com- pleted, is to hang in the Virginia Episcopal 8ghool near Lynchburg.

As re- search and scholarship the book must win the commendation of those who are capable of weighing it. As information for the great mass of general readers now going to school to Eastern Europe the study is of high value. A foreword by James Brown Scott, J. U. D., sends the highly competent study on its way rejoicing in itself—or so it seems to me. VAGABOND'S PARADISE. By Alfred Batson. Illustrated. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. THE vagabond’s day must be pretty well over. To be sure, the earth will continue to spread itself as of old, but very soon now it will have lost much of its unbelievable quality. And marvel is the vagabond’s prime lure. Yes, there is always left the art of lying, “the ever- present help in time of trouble,” but with air currents on the job day and night there is growing a perfect checking-up system, so that that most ancient and satisfying of all the arts is likely to slump to an inglorious desuetude. However, there is no -sense in running out to meet trouble. At present the vagabond is doing pretty well—thank you. Here is one right at hand in proof thereof. A good picker of adventure, too. Central America. A revo- lution a minute. A gquarter specially designed for heroes and daredevils and the rest of that temerarious trive. When the uprising slackens for a minute there is always left the tropical jungle. Here it is, harboring serpents of un- common guile and venom, fostering sinewy vines of interlocking habit so subtle and strong as to vie with the snakes themselves in their generally impeding power, Luck is not half bad to this particular vaga- bond. For it turns him into a veritable tramp. And what, I ask you, could be a better lot than to be just that—a tramp? However, this is not the spot for discussion, since the fellow must be on his way—if he is going to hoof it across Central America. And he is. Has to. So we go alapg as best we can by this second- hand chance. A good one, though, with hap- penings of about every sort. Hungry enough te shoot and eat a boa, the fellow was. He did it. Ugh! He fell in, once, with a couple of real renegades. American brand. Not so in- teresting as the Latin stripe of this order. A bull fight. Ladies, senoritas down that way . . . trouble . . . getting along on his way . .. “pronto” in the lingo of that region. Captured at last. Rescued later. And that is the end, or the stopping place, of this particular ad- venture. There will, doubtless, be more of these. It is, clearly, in the blood. Some of us are made that way. We can't help it. The most of us have to stay at home and read about the fine stuff, Let the fellow alone. He’s good for us. Yes, he might possibly be killed—but we’d have the stories—and, judged by this one, they’d be well worth saving. Band Concerts. Tnn United States Navy Band, Lieut. Charles Benter, leader, will open the Summer series of park concerts at Chevy Chase Circle next Tuesday evening. The program will in- clude the overture to Wagner’s “Flying Dutch- man,” Liszt's “Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody” and the processional from Goldmark’s “Queen of Sheba.” Prominent numbers on the program to be played at the navy yard Wednesday eve- ning are the overture to Puccini’s “La Boheme,” grand scenes from “Mignon,” Thomas, and Chabrier’s “Rhapsody Espana.” Musician Birley Gardner, cornetist, will be heard in solos at each of these concerts, detailed programs for which will appear in daily issues of The Star.

French mascu~ Continued From Sixteenth Page Nashville, Tuskegee, New York, Los Angeles and Honolulu, as well as in Washington. Numeri- cally the largest showing is made by Paul R. Williams of Lcs Angeles. John A. Lankford and Albert I. Cassell, the latter of the Agricul- tural Depaitment of Howard University, are close seconds, Cassell's work is chiefly for Howard University, and includes designs for the science quadrangle and women’s dormitory group. Among Lankford's works are designs for churches in several cities, including one in Cape Town, South Africa. Howard H. Mackay, also of this city, shows competition drawings for a Chicago War Memorial, and David A. Willis- ton, a Washingtonian, exhibits landscape de- signs for the grounds of Tuskegee and other Negro educational institutions. It is interestingly varied and very commende~ able showing—the first of its kind to be held. HE Abbott School of Commercial and Fine Art announces its Summer session, offering opportunity for practical training to beginners, advanced students and teachers. Classes are held both day and evening. The annual exhible tion of the work of students in the regular school will be on display during June, and should be found of special interest by those who desire either to take the Summer course or to enroll in the Autumn; also to thcse whe arc particularly interested in art education to- day along progressive lines. RANK R. JELLEFF, INC. has instituted & competition for a Christmas box cover paper, offering a prize of $100 for the best dee= sign submitted.

The name of the store must be included either in the design or in a separate label. Suggestions should be submitted on the tying of the box, so that a complete ensemble will be presented. June 4 is fixed as the cay for receiving the works entered in the compztie tion. All of the designs will be placed on exhi- bition the week of June 8.
