I was interested in finding unfamiliar types of work by four or five American artists who long have been eminent as leaders in one way and another in the conservative school, but who, evidently, did not turn their backs on the radicals, getting what they wanted from modernism to make their pictures as lively as any others in the procession. Daniel Gar-ber, who used to display poetic landscapes with vine-draped trees as characteristic work In the Herron's American annuals, a number of years ago, is represented in the Chicago institute's show with a vigorously painted portrait, a gray-beard in standing pose, entitled "Lathrop." Haley Lever, whose Cornish boat scenes are always brought to mind at mention of his name, displays "New Jersey Landscape," whose crooked-limbed dead tree in the foreground has a weirdness that would Many brlght-hued flower paintings are among the canvases especially assembled for the eye of Santa at "The 25," residence gallery of Ruth Healing, 2242 North Delaware street Artists represented are: Simon P. Baus, Francis Clark Brown, Ruth-ven H. Byrum, Helen Goodwin, Flora Lauter, Hallie Prow, Clara Newman, Elba Riffle, Sister Ruflnia, Emma Sangernebo, Ella Shumate, Marie C. Todd and Jane K. Yung. With a peak attendance of 7,864 as one day's registration of visitors at the Art Institute of Chicago during the forty-sixth annual exhibition of American paintings and sculpture, it is readily seen that the art of today in our own country is proving almost as good a drawing card as did the exhibition of old masters at the Century of Progress exposition. "Thanksgiving" Draws Interest. It might also be remarked that nearly as many people gather about Doris Lee's "Thanksgiving" as they did when Whistler's "Mother" was the chief attraction for art crowds at A Century of Progress. There is this difference, however, in the attitude of viewers: While they stood in silence almost in awe before the Whistler masterpiece, they now are LAST the depression has been romanticlxed in a haunting, gripping novel, "Vein of Iron" (Harcourt, Brace) by Ellen OVING pictures taken in Mexico by C. 0.

The story centers around Ada Fincastle from little girlhood to middle age, whose life was strangely conditioned by the austere religion of her Grandmother Fincastle and the easier, kinder philosophy of her father, John Fincastle, who had dared to break with the faith of his fathers, and so became the misunderstood disbeliever (of creeds) all his days, the admirable failure whose inward success, that of the spirit, the world could not appreciate.

For the only thing that could take the curse off of her affliction Is for her to be given some Interesting occupation with which to till her life, some ehance to do something worth while in the world and the ability to make herself financially Independent. Her mother must know that a girl who is crippled is cut off from many of the pleasures of youth and that she has a far less chance to marry than one who is not so handicapped. But her affliction will be minimized if she can have the compensation of a good job, of doing good work, of getting good pay and doing all the pleasant things and naving all the nice things that money would enable her to do and have. ft. The poor crippled girl without any business training must take any kind of hard menial labor that offers. The crippled girl with a good business training can aspire to any sort of executive position and a big pay envelope to which her mental abilities entitle her. To a crippled girl a business training la a pair of crutches on which she can go anywhere, and it is inconceivable that a mother would be willing to deprive her of such an aid. face turned slightly to the front.

In response to pleas of the Costa Rica Philatelic Society, the life of A new book of poems ha lately been published by Ralph Fletcher Seymour and written by a Hoosier, Elizabeth Newell of Terrs Haute, Ind. Mrs. Newell was born and educated in Indianapolis, and will be better known to her Shortridge High School friends by her former name, Bessie Magill. Tucked in amid the sentiment and the pathos of the verse is a surprising amount of humor. Oddly enough. It has been found that this poetry take well with men.

Tho depression grew stout hearts, and here la the tale of such a devotion. Perhaps the quoted couplet on the title page hints the theme of the story: "Effort, and expectations, andj desire, And something evermore about to be." Easy to Read. The book Is extremely easy to read, flowing on as it does In effortless rhythm. The reader hurries through it from chapter to chapter, eagerly hoping (as do the characters themselves!) for better times and a turn in fortune. If It were not for the courage that permeates the on a fence, is sufficiently up to date that it will doubtless expire in the lap of a modernist spring. Always interested to know what recent creation is coming from the brush of William S. Schwarts (in my opinion one of the most gifted of the Chicago artists), I was not long in finding his street scene, "The Near North Side, Chicago," one of the richest in color, as well as the most satisfactory in handling of contrasting reds and greens of any canvas in the whole exhibition. It was generally noted that American artists are getting more richness and depth of tone in their color work. There is more graying and toning down of bright masses, thus giving more harmonious effects. Humor In Lead. Humor seems to be the keynote of a great part of today's American art, not only in paintings but also in amused and mirthful as they discuss Miss Lee's figure composition in -an old-fashioned country kitchen, when the turkey and flxln's are being looked after by mom and Aunt Sue and sis and cousin Jennie, not to mention various others who look on waiting for the white meat to be tender and the pumpkin pie to be a golden brown. The Sunday Star of Nov. 10 had a three-column reproduction of the, Doris Lee oil painting which won the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan Art Institute medal and $500, a canvas which, it is said by institute officials, has been the most widely publicized of atiy picture in recent years. Newspapers all over the United States have reproduced "Thanksgiving." Color Scheme Unobtrusive. In the black and white reproduction of "Thanksgiving," as it was published in The Star, one can get a good idea of the clever way in which all the figures women, children, babies, cat and dog and the varied assortment of kitchen objects and dinner goodies have been assembled by the artist into a unified design so that one's eye Is led from one object to another all through the composition. I was disappointed to find the painting with no more color than a faded print. On second thought, however, it seemed better to keep the color scheme pale and unobtrusive in order to center attention on the excellently drawn groups of figures and various objects that have place in a design which is so well thought out that one would never criticize it as being cluttered. A week-end trip to Chicago meant a few hours' study of the 235 paintings and forty-nine works of sculpture in the American exhibit and also of the 326 prints in the fifth international exhibit of 'lithography and wood engraving. I was told at the art Institute that the exhibition is making history in the American art the three-day special issue marking the third centenary of the Virgin of the Angels, patron saint of Costa Rica, has been extended Indefinitely.

Perhaps she can brace her up enough to defy her mother and take the course that will mean her salvation. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR DOROTHY DIX I have been married nine years and have two children, the youngest- an infant. My husband fell in love with a girl whom he wanted to marry, but, as he was sorry for me, he waited until this last child was born before asking for a divorce. At the time he had a good job and a beautiful car and made a good salary, but the Lord doesn't always forget, as I thought He had forgotten me. My husband lost his fine position and his lovely companion fled. Now he is repentant and says he loves only me, and one couldn't ask for a better man. But why should I forgive him and be contented to live with him when he is making a small salary and have to work for him? I can't love him as I did and in my heart is a yearning for revenge, and if I can get work of some kind I am going to leave him and never, never return. DETERMINED.

It was easy to agree witn this statement, for there was evidence of a nearer approach to a national art than ever before. Independence of Thought-Evident. sculpture. One of the funniest things in sculpture is "Sleeping Lion" by Carl Walters, whose supercilious grin is rib-tickling. Many gallery visitors are finding in it the likeness of the late Huey Long. "Naiad," by Oskar J. W. Hansen is a new version of the mythical maid. Gleeful, she rides a bucking tish and points out her hands like a movie actress. The sculpture is in silvery metal and is small enough for a mantel decoration, as are many of the figure designs in the round. Peter Paul Ott's "Tension," a nude athlete in light rosy-red copper is one of the fine small sculptures. "Form Composition" by Emil Zettler, two egg-shaped heads, placed one above the other so that the top of the lower head forms a shoulder for the upper head, has much Interest. Other Pictures of Merit. Hunt Diederich's "Goats," leaping lustily, is action personified. "Direct Carving of Monkey," In atone, by Esther Jamieson, has delightful humor as well as skill of workmanship. "Captive Cub" is a delightful bit of wood sculpture by Elisabeth Hasel-tine, who has been appointed to serve on the Jury for the coming Hoosier Salon. One of the finest works of sculpture is the head of a Negress, carved in heroic from black marble It haa unusual beauty of rhythm, symmetry and harmony in the planes of head and face.

Will you be happier divorced from the man you have loved and who is the father of your children than you are with him? Will it bring you peace and comfort to think of him homeless, wandering around from cheap boarding house to cheap boarding house, eating poor food, sleeping in a shabby room, lacking all the little comforts and attentions with which you have surrounded him for so many years? Will It give you a thrill to think of his being lonely, missing you and the children, perhaps gettting drunk to drown out thememory of his folly! Will you find it a pleasant experience to explain to the children why they have no father? Perhaps the children won't think, after they are big enough to understand and Judge, that their father's having a silly affair with, a girl was enough reason for you to break up their home and deprive them of a father's love and care. You have to think of all of those things, you know, In deciding what is best to do. Then, do you think you will be better off trying to support yourself and the children than you are with a husband, even if he doesn't earn a big salary? Whatever he makes Is probably much more than you could make and it leaves you free to stay at home with the baby instead of putting it in a creche all day, and to look after the other child instead of letting him run wild on the streets. The poor woman mighty seldom improves her condition by divorce. And that is something to consider, too. Your husband did you a great wrong. I'm not condoning that. But he has repented and he is a good, kind man, and you could bind him forever to you If you would be big and generous and forgive and forget his sin against you. Don't you think you would be a lot happier and the children would be better off If you would Just kiss and make up and wipe the slate clean and start all over again? DOROTHY DIX.
