s0 CIETY. About Well-Known Folk - In Bog Carnegie Centenary Abroad—Mrs. Wolfe Super Democratic Political BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. Carnegie Libraries in many of the | States are planning to observe in some | appropriate manner the centenary of the birth of Andrew Carnegie on the 25th of November. N Dunfermline, Scotland, his native | lately sold at auction at Cannes, village, is plaraing to celebrate the centenary in the way they think their | Scotch-American townsman would | like best. During his life Mr. Carnegie gave the town $4,500,000 and left it a yearly allowance of $225,000. What the people of Dunferml'ue would like | best is either a window or a carillon ¢ of bells in the lovely old eleventh century abbey. Knowing, however, Mr. Carnegie's very practical ideas about the distribution of his wealth, they are wondering if the memorial should take an eatirely artistic turn. Mr. Carnegie was a great interna- tionalist and his absolute disbelief in the neccessity of war was illus- ~trated by the beautiful Peace Palace at The Hague, which was one of his munificent gifts to the cause. The International Exhibition of Paintings at the Carnegie Institute in | Pittsburgh, Pa., which will be held | from October 17 through December 8, is of particular moment this year as it will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mr. Carnegie’s birth. He was| the founder of the institute and| the donor of the handsome building | in which the international exhibitions | have been held yearly since 1896. with | the exception of the five years during the World War. This year, 21 nations, including | several of the South American States | « &nd the Union of Soviet Socialist Re- | publics, will send paintings, making | approximately 350 paintings on ex- hibition. The exhibition is intended to in-| clude all aspects of present-day art, | and as the assistant director, Mr. John O'Connor, says, will offer to the pub- | lic a fairly accurate report of what is | going on in the art of Western civili- | zation. All artists who have been in- vited to send to the exhibit are rep- | resentative of recognized groups in | their own lands. i Six artists, three from foreign coun- | tries and three from the United States, will meet in Pittsburgh, beginning | + Wednesday next, to decide upon the | prizes, the first of which is $1,000, the | seccad, $600: third, $500; first honor- able mention, $400: second honorable mention, $300; third honorable men- tion, $200, and fourth honorable men- ks, Art, Politics Celebrated Here and Mentor. velopment of the animal style which began as early as 4000 B.C. It appears that an American was the purchaser of Rembrandt's por- trait of his father, formerly the prop- erty of Prince Lychinsky, which was France. The price was $40,000, and speculation is rife as to whether Mr. Andrew W. Mellon was not the lucky buyer. The painting is 18 by 12% inches and is done on wood. That it is authentic is vouched for by five European experts, who traced it back as far as 1803, when it was sold in Amsterdam. There is just now a fine and choice showing of colored wood cuts by Gus- tave Baumann and others at the Li- brary of Congress. One does not | think of wood cuts otherwise than in the black and white, and to those who know but little about the ancient art these colored ones are a revelation. One particularly lovely—a Baumann —is “Autumnal Glory.” The sky of a deep purplish pink, dark purple moun- tains with a depth of shadows makes a glorious background for the bril- liant autumnal foliage of the trees. In contrast, “San Domingo Pueblo,” by the same artist, has a sky of an indescribable blue, a suggestion of blue hills or mountains, with the Spanish adobe houses and the brightly clad figures in the foreground. Old print books in colors share the cases with | the wood cuts. One is a series of colored views of the Island of St. Helena, printed in London in 1821, the year of Napoleon's death. Living without affection or adulation during the last bitter years of his life, there were few evidences that he was re- membered by the outside world. On one occasion he was heard to say that his last hours were comforted by “les pruneaux de Madame Holland,” and he left her a snuff box in his will. Madame Holland was Lady Holland of Holland House, London, who was one of the salonieres of the eighteenth century and who regularly sent Na- poleon at St. Helena plums and pa- pers, and who always referred to him as “Poor dear Man!" Mrs. Wolfe is all a-twitter over the number of letters which she has re- ceived from men’'s clubs throughout the West and Middle West asking her for information about the *“reporter | plan” and the way she has organized | the entire country into eight districts ‘\nth a woman regional advisor over | each.

In other words, they believe that pre- paredness is the keynote of success. Even the reception room of the| women's division has an air of efi- ciency about it and there is a placard on the wall which says: “Please ap- proach the desk of the Receptionist (capital ‘r’) one at a time.” Now “re- ceptionist” is not a word that was coined by the New Dealers, as academic as it may sound, but is understood to have been in use for some time in hotels and at public meetings. It means evidently the receiver who re-! ceives the received. In this case it is a charming looking young woman who invites you to sit in one of the mod- ernistic folding chairs ranged along the wall.

The long suffering public over there are also told that the herring industry is in difficult straits and that more fish must be eaten; even the closing of meat shops for one day a week is suggested. The English baker pleads for a greater consumption of breéad, for in trying to increase the consumption of milk the greatest tea-drinking nation on the earth is slowing up on the tea—and the dainty toasted strips of bread so often served with it. Then there are the plum growers of South Africa (if there is a war down that way they will need the plums), the apple growers of New Zealand and Canada, bananas of the West Indles, all must be helped and God save the British stomach, and let Americans remember that Uncle Sam'’s efforts to straighten out living conditions here are more than dupli- cated abroad. As there seems to be no money to enforce the potate con- trol bill passed here by the last Con- gress, one cannot decide whether to eat more or less of the tubers. It is not as plain John Buchan, the distinguished novelist, historian | and parliamentarian, who will arrive in Canada on October 10 to assume | the office of governor general of | the Dominion, but as Lord Tweeds- | muir.
