Camps. BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. ! The Democrats are taking it as a good omen that the Houston, with |President Roosevelt aboard, rode in ‘ahead of the hurricane and landed him safely in the Charleston Harbor. They declare that he will bring the ship of state into a safe harbor after {'outriding the storms of depression. But great day in the mawnin’, those aristocratic, blue-blooded, conserva- tive Charlestonians must have thought the Yankees were just outside the . Battery last week when they heard those 21 guns of the ship intoning a saluté for the President of the United States. It was almost enough to bring forth the rebel yell, old Confed- erate uniforms and flintlock shootin’ Jdrons. Yes, suh, there had not been that much gunpowder burned there since the wah between the States. Charleston was all a-twitter to receive the first gentleman of America and the charming old town never looked more interesting. Word comes from down that way .4n a delightful letter that it was a grand sight when the superb ship Houston swept into the harbor with | the distinguished skipper, all bronzed by the salt and the sea air, aboard. | hey recalled a visit made by Presi- | nt Taft to Charleston, and how he | charmed them with his merry smile ®nd cordial manner. How President | Cleveland sometimes fished off the is- | J8nds near there, but seldom came into | the city—perhaps only once. | . Mrs. Roosevelt had to do a little pinch hitting for the President while he was away and read his speech for bim before the annual Forum on Current Problems, up in New York. She put a great deal of emphasis on the sentence, “When our economic system fails to sustain an adequate | standard of life, it is the women who face the most poignant privation.” The women all said amen to that. The lady of the mansion must have dound it a sorry-looking placeswhen ghe returned there lasy week to have t furbished up a bit before the ar- zival of the President. stance there is no triteness in the expression when one says it was con- fusion worse confounded, for every- thing downstairs was at sixes and sevens. The one redeeming prospect was the gorgeous pink, red, yellow, white and purple dahlias nodding at | the windows in the glassed-in east gorridor. Jng majestically in the breeze. Bor- dering the beds where the dahlias grow is blue, purple and lilac phlox, “making a pretty contrast. The great crystal chandeliers in the east room were dingy and sorry looking, and the monstrous gold pilano—defiation, inflation, or what- ever, it was—covered with dust. . . . Dear Mrs. John Adams would never | have hung her/wash in such a dusty place. To those fortunate enough to have | gardens: Do not rake up the carpet | of soft green, brown, red, yellow and varied colored leaves that cover the old brick walks and the lawns. There is an indescribable loveliness about this carpeting in the Fall of the year; a loveliness that canont be painted by an artist because it would require gigantic canvas to get the true effects —the sunlight sifting through the In this in- | These plants are really | zegal looking; 8 or 10 feet tall, sway- | how she came to take up etching ap- pears to shine out in some of her prints in the National Gallery, and in the Library of Congress. Mrs. Jacques was for some time a bedridden invalid and during that time would send out Christmas and Easter cards, which she decorated for her friends. Then she took up etche ing and the decoration bn each card was a personal message to a friend. ‘Then she studied seriously and began to write and lecture on the art, drew many artists about her—and the Chi- companionship. cago Soclety was the result of that There are some pleasing colored etchings in the exhibition at the National Gallery, and a few very in- triguing aquatints, which somehow beckon to one; a restful quality, such as one might gain from a water color, and yet has some of the qualities of oil. One by John Wesley Cotton was particularly satisfying—perhaps because the country scene, with the trees of a golden brown softness melt- ing into shadows of deeper shades, suited the Autumn mood; peaceful- looking cows and the figure of a man partly in shadow, whose blue garments made the balance of color the land- scape welcomed. The title of this | aquatint may be “Bruges"—which meant but little except to the artist as a reminder. To one interested in aquatints there are some beautiful Goyas in the Library of Congress print division. One of the delightful books of the year is Sacha Guitry’s “Souvenirs,” or, in the excellent-translation from the French by Lewis Gallantiere, “If Memory Serves,” which sparkles with the wit of the salons, boulevards and art world of Paris, with whose many sides he is so familiar, There is a spontaneity, a delicacy, a nat- uralness in his intimate association and remarks about his relatives, friends and those with whom he has | been so closely associated. His father, Lucien Guitry, from whom he was estranged for some years, dominates the book . . . his mother beautiful and romantic. . . . Octave Mirabeau Clemenceau, Claude Monet, the artist with whom he loved to visit at Giverny, walk in the beau- tiful gardens which Stephen Gwynn | has described as & “space so filled with flowers that you could hardly put your hand between them, and |all of them common, free-flowering things” . . the garden of an artis - - . his idol, Mme.

Bernhardt's, whose ornaments and gifts she se- lected with her own hands. Rostand and others of the great and beautiful | world of Paris, with whose genius and wit and beauty he was on terms of intimacy. It's rather curious that there is but | scant mention by Guitry, in his sou- | venirs, of his wife, the exquisite, en- chanting Yvonne Printempts, with whom American audiences are so fa- miliar and whose art they appreciate in all its subtlety, illusiveness and rare {charm. Perhaps a charm that could not have been so all-encompassing | | 5 | MES.

Mr. Henry Bes- | ton’s “Outermost House” is filled with interesting things about the place that one did not know until he spent what he calls “a year of life on the great beach of Cape Cod.” He says in the Autumn there is “a new sound on the | beach and a greater sound.

Every one wishes to do his bit, so the Chicago Society of Etchers, not to be outdone, has put in a small enter- ing wedge and has presented to the National Gallery of Art a collection of something like 630 etchings—this in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the society which num- bers among its members etchers from | all parts of the world. About 400 of the etchings are now on exhibition in the gallery, among them some pretty flower prints by Mrs. Bertha E. Jaques, one of the founders of the society and for 25 years its treasurer and secretary.
