NO()t€S of Art and Artists — — Continued From Fourteenth Page nian both by birth and long residence, one of the pioneers of pictorial photography and one of the mo® competent and successful photo- pictorialists we have in this country, as wit= nessed by her pictorial survey of old Fredericks=- burg. a series of superb photographs made under private commission but exhibited for several months in the Library of Congress. Miss Johnston has made a specialty of garden photographs and has photographed some of the finest gardens in this country and abroad. The exhibition of her work opening today should prove of exceptional interest at this time. She, herself, will be hostess at the tea this after- agon marking the opening of these exhibitions. HARLES J. CONNICK of Boston, one of the foremost American makers of stained glass, will lecture on stained glass under the auspices of the Washington Society of the Fine Arts next Wednesday evening in Barker Hall, ¥. W. C. A. Building. Among Mr. Connick’s works are windows in the chapel of the Mili- tafy Academy at West Point, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. New York; Boston University Chapel, Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago. and other churches of equal promi- nence in other large cities. He maintains a large and interesting workshop at 9 Harcourt street, Boston, where he employs a goodly num- ber of young assistants somewhat after the menner of artists in the days of the Italian Renaissance, the group being held together by & community of interests and working har- moniously to a great end, that of achieving a superb window. Each assistant has his part to do and is given a measure of freedom in the doing, and yet all are led, supervised and directed, by the master, who in this respect, in the production of the final result, is as the leader of an orchestra. Por many years it was thought that the best stained glass came from England, but in re- cent years our own makers of stained glass have far excelled. One of the characteristics of the Connick windows is not only their close observance of ancient tradition, but their color- ful quality, especially in the introduction and employment of vibrant blue. Between the window which is a part of the @rohitectural design of the building wherein it is set, and the pictorial window there is the widest possible difference. It is the former sort which Mr. Connick produces and of the making of which he will tell. His lecture will be illus- trated with stereopticon slides in color. [} HENRY B. SNELL, one of the leading teach= ers of water color in this country, has ganounced a class to be held this Summer at Durnstein on the Danube and at Cracow, the @ncient capital of Poland. His party will leave New York July 1 and return by steamer from Antwerp the last of August, arriving in New York September 5. An interesting feature of this trip will be a visit to the studio of Profes- sor Cizek, who has done such remarkable work in the teaching of children to design. Mr. Snell has conducted classes in Italy, Brittany, Germany, Holland, England, Porgugal and Belgium, but Durnstein and Cracow are completely new fields. PECIAL exhibitions of paintings by Walt Kuhn and Gifford Beal are among those which were placed on view in the Phillips Memorial Gallery February 7 in connection with the regular midseason change of exhibitions. Fuller notice of these exhibits will be given later in these columns. Announcement has been made of lectures in the gallery on the evening of February 18 “An Approach to Modern Art,” illustrated with slides from modern prints, by Mrs. Gerrit Miller, and on the evening of February 25 “Viewpoint of a Contemporary Painter,” by Karl Knaths. There will be no music this afternoon at these galleries, but a recital of music for two pianos is scheduled for February 21. ME lecture on Medieval and Renaissance cathedrals, to be given March 18 in the Chinese Room of the Mayflower Hotel, the forth Reviews of the New Books Continued from Fifteenth Page one other, the niece of Slavensky. A pretty girl, and innocent, rich withal, a dupe of her guardian “uncle,” besides. Ready to go now. Where? Why, to the pearl island, to be sure, on a lawless expedition of great danger from occasional revenue cutters coming that way. In substance, this is the story; its measures are to thwart, finally, crafty old Slavensky, to rescue the hapless girl, and to round the picaresque adventure to a simple wedding ceremony. And upon Jimmy Carfax the bulk of the business falls. Soon Jimmy’'s honesty stands so clear that the boy becomes not only a nuisance but danger as well. Just another job for an adroit novelist to hitch on to all the other dangers of this free-handed tale. Now and then Mr. Parkman here shows signs of overwork. A bit of stale invention. A feverish leap into sheer absurdity. But, upon the whole, adventure readers will get their hour’s worth of diversion out of this story of bootlegging for pearls, instead of for the more familiar moonshine not so far away.

Building Took 600 Years HE cathedral at Cologne, consider=d as one of the finest examples of Gothic construc- tion, also stands as an illustration of the steady carrying on of an ideal through genera- tion after generation. The original cathedral said to have dated back to the time of Charlemagne, was burned in 1248. Reconstruction was started in 1270 and was carrled on intermittently until 1509, when all work was stopped for many generga= tions. The final phase of the building opera- tions was started in 1823 and the building was finally brought to completion in 1880 at which time the total cost had reached a figure of ap- proximately $10,000,000.
