6 PAINTING DISPLAY'S STANDARDS HIGH 1125 Works Are Exhibited by Washington Water Color Club. BY LEILA MECHLIN. The Washington Water Color Club's annual exhibition which just opened in the Corcoran Gallery of Art is de- lightful and refreshing. Not only does it uphold a high standard of excellence through works well rendered, but makes immediate appeal through the colorful quality and inherent charm of the ex- hibits. A better exhibition of water colors has not been seen in this city for some time. Although only one gallery has been allotted to this exhibiticn it comprises more than 125 paintings. Obviously this is by first intent a Yocal show, but it is not so restricted. In fact many of the works shown have come from outside and from a distance —some from California, others from Oklahoma, one from Colorado, one from Kansas, one from Georgia, quite a number from Ohio, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania as well as near- by Virginia and Maryland. In subject matter also there is variety—the gamut running from elephants to iris and fn- cluding typical scenes in many parts of the United States, Europe and Mexico. Figures are in the minority; of portraits there are only a few; flowers and still life are fairly abun- dant and exceedingly effective; there are some fine marines, one or two good Interiors, houses, churches, city pictures, all with an interest peculiarly their own. Elephants Well Presented. ‘The elephants to which reference has been made were painted by Gertrude G. Brown of this city and are admir- ably presented as in their native habi- tat with excellent suggestion of bulk, weight and motion. Sybilla Mittell ‘Webber, who is holding a one-man ex- hibition of etchings at the Smithsonian at the present time, shows here a well painted head of a dog—a Great Dane— and under the title “Plumage” Emily Nourse Steuart of this city displays an engaging painting of a pair of red and green parrots. The place of honor, and well merited, has been given to a painting of pink dogwood by Elizabeth Muhlhofer, a brilliant technical achievement and very lovely interpretative work., Lila M. Cabaniss of Savannah, Ga. has sent a charming painting of “White Phlox,” which, like Miss Muhlhofer's painting of dog wood, renders the spirit as well as the form of the flower and suggests its ephemeral quality. Lona Miller Keplinger shows a very beauti- ful composition of bright-colored ginnias. Elizabeth Sawtelle contributes & bunch of Autumn flowers on a table as part of a pleasing still-life group. Frances Hungerford Combs shows a! still-life composition, “The Fruit Bowl.” | handsome in color and well rendered. Mary P. Godding is well represented by | & painting of cyclamen, and Edith | McCartney by an elaborate composition | in which a crystal ball is the chief | unit. Among the flower paintings, at- tention should be called to a painting by Lesley Jackson of an old-fashioned garden all ablocom and very pleasing. Seward Hume Rathbun contributes to this exhibition two unusual paintings of typical Western scenes, one entitled “Guarded Land” and the other “Dawn ‘Watch,” the latter a picture of sunrise across a patch of desert cactus—a subtle but at the same time most suc- cessful transcription. Eliot O'Hara, who, incidentally, is now on his way back from South America, is repre- sented by a painting entitled “Bend in the River,” a simple composition, strongly and effectively rendered. Peter Wagner is at his best in a sunset pic- | ture, “Evening From Battery Hill, Me.,” | and in a picture of saw-toothed rocks | in the Bay of Fundy. Charm in Bill's Work. Among those who handle water color 4n a broad virile style is Margarete Lent, well represented in this exhibi- tion by “Cement Mill” and “The Hill- side,” both notably fine. There is great | charm in Carroll Bill's paintings, | “Walls of Avila” and “Cuernavaca, Mexico,” picturesque foreign scenes vendered with veracity and artistic | feeling. Much may be said in praise of Mary K. Porter’s little painting, | “Traveller’s Palm,” because of its sin- cerity and nice effect of movement. Clara Saunders shows not only a large impressive flower study, but a very un- usual portrait in charcoal with color ! applied in little more than a tint, yet very characteristic. Benson Moore i valuzble contribu- tion in a water color, entitled “Autumn in the Blue Ridge,” in which long cloud shadows are seen on hillsides through a screen of slender trees. From Constance Cochrane of Philadelphia have come two colorful, rich paintings, one of “Azaleas, Arnold Arboretum,” the other of a “Flower Shop.” Miss Cochrane | invariably uses a full brush and color in_strong, full tones. ‘There is in this exhibition an excel- HowBLONDES hold their sweethearts MEN stay in love with the blonde who makes the most of her hair.

How lucky they can buy Blondex for just a few cents! til now it never sold for less than $1.00.

In addition to the paintings in this exhibition there are nearly 100 works in black and white —etchings, wood- blocks, lithographs, etc. These are placed in cases in the atrium and make independently an interesting showing.

The seventh Saturday in history on which the Nation has inaugurated its President was chalked up in the books of time yesterday, along with the no- tation it was the second Roosevelt to ukekumu on the same day of the week. America's forty-seventh special ses- sion of the Senate greeted her thirty- second President as Franklin D.
