STUART PAINTING SE T Dublin, Jan. 26.—A portrait of bert Stuart, the American painter, the sensation of the hour at the Na- tional Gallery of Ireland. Stuart Ireland from 1788 until 1793, and was constantly employed in painting portraits of prominent Irish men and women. The picture which has just been hung in the National Gallery is of Mrs. Webb, who belonged to a well-known Donegal family. worked in Arch street. Members and friends of members to the score of almost 200 gathered around the festive board, told stories, heard recounted the glorles of the great Scotch bard, listened to the: lyrics he wrote for some of Scotland’s | lilting melodies and after the regular program danced into the wee sma’ hours, The Rev. Warren F. Cook, frae the Methadist Kirk, was the principal speaker of the evening. He treated the character of Burns from a novel angle, giving an insight into the many emotions that swayed the poet’s heart during the days of his earlier ana later life. President Alexander Gordon out- lined the history of the Burns club, told of its work during the past year, and then turned the speaker’s chair aver to John Sloan, who acted as toastmaster. Miss Jean Cochrane || favored with the old Scotch ballad, “There Was a Lad Was Born In Kyle;” Miss Clara Oakes Usher sang “Scottish Biue Bells,” and Joseph C. Ames and Wesley W, Howard each contributed solos. Together these singers rendered several wonderful quartette numbers, ‘When all these things were disposed of, the banquetters stood at their places, formed the chain of friend- ship and sang what Toastmaster Sloan designated ‘‘the universal an- them,” “Auld Lang Syne.” After that the tables were cleared away, the or- chestra struck up a lively tune ana Professor M. J, Kenney led the grand march, three times around the hall. Aye, lad ’'twas indeed a grand nicht! Mr. Cook's Address. Mr. Cook said in part: “I have to thank you for a month of keen pleasure. When your com- mittee came to me about a month" ago and asked me to make this ad- dress I had but a very general idea of the life and work of Burns. My English teacher in college was a woman who was more than less purl- tanical in her ideals and standards; consequently I got an idea of Burns that was something like this: He was a brilllant humorous genius who cared a great deal for his wine and more for women—then for more | women, more and more. During the | last month I have had an opportunity for a better judgment of Burns, and while there can be no question as to the flagrant outbursts of immor- ality in his ‘tareer, nevertheless if you go deep enough into his motives you will find that these immoral deeds were the result of uncontrolled pow- ers which, had they been rightly di- rected would have been deeds of valor-and virtue. “At heart Burns was fair even in his dealings with Jane Armour. Even in his badness Burns showed a cer- tain virtue in that he was not hypo- critical but open and frank. He was not small mean in soul. He was not a cheater. God only knows how he deplored his weakness, and often he prayed to he delivered from it that he might enter into the fullness of his po: vilities unhindered by his temptations.” Mr. Cook ences which Burns' moral or then spoke of the influ- helped to overthrow character, and named the weakening influence of poverty, which diseased his baody and nerves; the strictness of the times, the tyranny | of .the church, with its underlying | hypocricy, which Burns saw so clear- Iy: the influence of one Robert Brown at Irvine, who did Burns much mis- chief, of whom Burns said, “He was the only man he had ever known who tvas a greater fool than he was when it came to women.” This man put into Burns' mind a wrong ethical standard that held for too long a while. “When, however, we consider Burns’ love for reality and truth in human nature; when we know his sympathy with even the least of creatures; when we find his con- science speaking through his prayers we realize that this man was not in reality what he would seem to be on the surface,” Mr. Cook continued. “With just a little more strength, a @ little better . company—possibly the influence of one strong friend to have challenged his best nature, or with a more real teaching from the church Burns might have given to the world In years the fruit of his mind much, very much that we do not now have and never can have be- cause of the blemish of wrongly di- rected energies. WWhen we consider Burns as a poet we do not have to make apology.” Burns the Poet. Mr. Cook here named the follow- ing traits of character which he felt made Burns the powerful poet of hu- man nature. First he had a won- derful power to read into the reality of men's natures, He =aw men as they were. Then he had the wonder- ful gift to tcll what he saw there In a language that was understandable. When Burns tried to write in pure ish he was not so good. When ayed with his own tongue he a master. Another quality which adds power to Burns' work is the courage with which he dared to utter his convictions. And a fourth quality which was as the oil that pre- vents much friction was Burns' hu- mor. Burns' criticlems and pictures of human nature, directed very often where there could be no mistake of his meaning, were never bitter, or cold. They were always laughing ANNUAL SALE OF CLOTHING The Home of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes WHY BUY AN OLD 1916 HAT? You Can Get the NEW SPRING 1917 Here $3.00 Model $2.00 [ and were by far because of this. “The first contribution of Burns I hold,” Mr. Cook said, ‘‘was s con- tribution to religion. The Kirk of Scotland in Burns' day and before was a tyrant. It was filled with su- perstition and its theology was cramped and twisted. Burns directed his best effort toward this error and the result was that the Kirk has never been the same since, and never can be. In this Burns did service not only to Scotland, but to the religious life of the world everywhere."” Mr. Cook spoke in closing of the Scottish speech; the Scottish home life, and its influences; the Scottish religion and said that he was sure from the study of Burns' life and let- ters and poems that Burns, could he express his wish, would have us hold his weaknesses as a warning, rather than as an excuse for our own fail- ings, and emulate his strength. SWEDEN'S TRIBUTE Passing of Jack the more effective London, American ‘Writer, Sincerely Mourned By Scandinavians in Their Public Press Stockholm, Jan. was given to Jack London by the Swedish papers than to Emperor Francls Joseph, news of whose deaths was received at almost the same time. Long biographies produsely illustrated were published by most of the papers, and genulne sorrow was displayed generally at London's death. No other contemporaneous Amer- ican author was as popular and wide- ly read in Sweden as Jack London. Twenty-four of his storles have ap- peared in translation since 1907, and sales have reached nearly 230,000 London once told his Swed ub- lisher, according to the latter's . ate- ment, that, considering population, his books were more widely read in Sweden than anywhere else. 26.—More space Bargains in Used Cars Events Tonight Lyceum theater. 8 i ) High class photo drama .
