What the Sewlpfora ssd Wllri of the Brash Hsve Bees Able te Aeeestf Ilih. "Tn languaga in wnicn laeas are eonveyea In proa and poetry Is a language familiar to all persons of some education." "If, however, the music of a great composer bo In question, the matter la very different. It Is universally not tru that modern people understand the language of music." This Is what Russell Sturgls and ha goes on: "When the arts of design are under consideration the difficulty of understanding the language is far more general." Isn't that pretty trueT The farmers sometimes ask ns why we shad a drawing with lines of penciling; they ae no such lines In nature; nor do we either, but that manner of shading has become an almost universal language In European art, though the Japanese never us It. Our witty and original painters try to Invent a new brush language, and then the people have to learn all over again In order to comprehend what they are trying to express. At the Art Institute exhibition Bertha Henxler has used In paint a language often employed In etchings and drawings.

Sh has drawn with her brush a great number of perpendicular lines, 'all In a strange bjulah gray on a ground of almost the same color, and to! peer Into the mystery, and discover the vague form of a hor and things on and there is water In front, aad a dreamy aky, and here and there a twinkling spark of light, and It all makes a tender, luminous night, half concealed, half revealed; 'poetry, muBio, harmony, penetra bllity, sentiment. We say these words and feel very happy In looking at this her best picture. Mr. Dressier' language la altogether dlf- faMiir.BiiA etlll ft un etnA tnvterv anil space and Ba brashes his paint all about, as if he played with It, and out come the trees and forms of earth, not very plainly but all the more noetleallv. so that we can walk In there aa one would feel hi way Into wm Arr't tail, urn.

lannwa hnt what they say ts tenderly and forcefully said, and It la excellent work. Mr. Meraf elder has com back from Call- rich though I suspect that he.haa brought from there what he took with him (we all do It), and that was an artist' sentl- torn lan or not. to a poetical combination of tone that he know are beautiful, and a chiaroscuro that, be knows will be effective. That's true artistic language, which those lov It Ilk very much Indeed.

There-were some pictures, by a man who lived a good whll ago. In the English pavilion at the Paris exposition, which were In the same way expressions of nature's truths in a language of rich generalisation. His name was John Constable, and th pattern Is aot a $20 box coat.

A certain lot of painters, known aa the "Bsrblzon learned of th same master.

Mr. Btaeey and Mrs. Stacey have sent over from France picture made in and around the quaint village of Auvers, where Daublgny lived and died, and where we went Into his garden and aaw that famous houseboat, now rotting away, in which he floated on the River Oise and studied nature. But this gentleman and hi wife-do not talk th same art language. The man saw all things on a summer's day la the llght-someneea-and glint of broad sunshine; th house are cool, clear, and tender in their whiteness, and the tree of a allvery green, not the deep tone, which soma lights glv them.

The woman's taste took her outside th village, to the more level plateau, where th wheat stacks stand solemnly against the sky, and a wayaide cross, stooping with age. Invitee the reverent peaaant to ponder on the Unseen Ruler of rain and sunshine, and about It all the tender twilight suggests the calm coming of night. The one speaks In sparkling words, the other In dreamy language. Mr. Cerwts's'werk.

And Mr. Corwln went to Gloucester, dear old Gloucester, with Its schooner against tho wharves, and Ten-pound Island with its lighthouse. His language Is direct and simple; a child can read It; th note are allvery, but ao la the atmosphere there sometimes. This artist aaya that the boat have graceful shapes, that' the sails hang drying after the night' rain, and that th harbor I lying there flat and quiet and pearly, and that the floats which project straight out from the shore bear rowboats to hire. It's so like the place, and so our Ideal of the aleepy fisher town, and all so unaffectedly expressed.

What a hard time the committee must have had In bestowing that white prise ribbon I They gave It to the man of slmpl speech; perhapa another time It will go to the artful language) for each Is good. Mr. Symons has uttered a whole wailful of thoughts In plsln language. In forty-four times that he tells of seaside and stream-side and woods. Inside and outside, and nature on all sides, says that hi palett, which carries the same colors that other palette do.

can mix a fat. rich ton and make soft snow with It which looks whit though really no pure white geta on the canvas, and produc th effect of thawing weather with Its alopplneas. and he draw his road straight out from ona corner of his picture to the other alongside a swift-running stream, whose bank were overhung with bushes in summer, but now show only th tangled debris of brown and wood color which the frost ha left- This long road cuts th picture bias, and would look queer had he not skillfully centered the vomposltlon by placing a bridge exactly in tho middle of It and thus obliged the eye to stay In th center. This road la so Important and so long that it has pushed the horizon away, up to th top or the frame, and the sky quit out of the picture, and still we are satisfied that the sky is all right up there somewhere. He is daring even to recklessness, but that' a good masculine quality.

All the picture look as if a man did them. So do Mr. Juergens' pictures look like the work of a man with a pretty stiff handshake, nor do they belie th grip of his fist. I put pictures in the plural because, besides th on In th exhibition at th Art institute, ha baa a studio full open to th public at No. 24 Adam street.

This one at the institute Is painted tn big. bold strokes, lots of paint in the brush, and plenty of roughness, but his sedgy creek, that leads up the old, picturesque tow of Dinkelbuehl, looks very natural and th town sits well in th atmosphere, Mr. Juergens' language may be rude, but his word are tru and easily understood by those who At hi atudio ha has painted the portraits ef several people, and among them a surgeon lit his white operating coat- It 1 Dr. Walter, as true a life, and the strong plane in hie head ara very frankly struck tn without fussing' or timidity. Mr.

Rydan. th sculptor, has done like other artists; proved that can speak with a 20; $-BasemeBt 15 and $7.50 for silk-lined tailor-made snits-allwool kerseys, beavers, boocles and covert cloths black and colors all sizes brush as well aa a modeling tool, and his color Is rich and of a full, warm tone. Is not as clever yt aa he will become. Judging by this example. In bronre, we so from him a portrait plaque of three children, to say nothing of th dog, who thinks himself aa important as any member of the family.

This, and a number of other bronse portrait plaque he has in his studio, give faithful and pleasing likenesses. It is a good sort of art of which we saw long caaea full at Paris this summer, and every one delighted with th bit of metal bearing friends' faces. In contrast to this bold brushwurk. we Mr. Methven painting quiet, flat tone to represent the night.

It is alt In a good gray blue, only a scale of lighter and leea light fiat masse, well drawn to auggeat a stream and tree-crowned banks, and a say; th whole a beautirul rendering of quiet, peaceful solemnity. Never has he done better work, and on love the picture. Simplicity ia gaining over One aaks no more for hla money's worth of things in a picture, but rather value sentiment and talent, and simple sentiment said with few good utterances requires a command of the tongue or the brush that multitudinous complications, however well rendered, rarely demand. That' th reason that we Uke -lett's picture; the one with the flat plain and a road leading off to th hoiixon, and a few rounded He paints no leaves, but the trees are modeled. His color is good.

too. Ha affects the archaic, lik th famous German. Frans Stueck, whose work la attracting a much attention. This suggestion of primitive art has taken th fancy of many artists, who are wearied with tb atarnal prettl-ness and pettiness of the last generation of painters. -7 1 And so Mr.

Peyraud ha a turned away from hi somewhat complicated' and over-colored style and reduced- hi forms to simple tones. There Is much dignity snd lmpres-slveneas in his plain and mountain and tree rendered in bold breadth. Another picture shew us a sunrlsa behind tree. sun has Just got up and casts a horizontal shaft of light through an all-pervsdlng has, and thl light streams across th meadow brilliantly. The effect only last a few minutes, and be had to look closely and1 remember well In.

order to catch this delightful effect. Mr. Jansson has a real good picture, a landscape, quite simple, only a play of tones in russet, getting more reddish in the leading off by a gradation of grays to a sky that tend to violet, the whole tied together by a bold line of green tn the center. No on doubts that "he saw this effect In nature, but the good thing about it la th knowledge of picture-making nature mad a servant of art, as sh should b. Mr.

Clarkaon doea tho same In "Rest." The title Is simply th word of command given tho model who la weary of posing and at the welcome word "rest" pulls the drapery about her and throws herself upon the sofa pillows in' a graceful attltud. These accidental poses are th artist's opportunity and Mr. Clarkson has mad good as of this one, as he has of the characterful furniture of his studio. He also paints tone and. reduces all colors to a quiet unity which throws out well the flesh color, though that also la toned to suit the scheme.

It Is good to se a man painting a figure, "to see one who can paint, one. But It will not do to give htm all th credit, because Mr. Grover shows her the portrait of which I have already written. He haa painted local color as it is. in th lady's dress, but in his full-toned landscape, though it I vary literal, th local note ar submitted, to a tonality.

And Mr. Betts has painted th portrait of William J. Turn es, rtrtklag llksness and a well-modeled head. keeps to ton, too, a gray coat oa a gray background, "two of the same," But In hi "Hide and llttl maid in th sunDonnei tot -uaa lucaeu aerseii away in hiding amid th vln leaves In an arbor, ha renders the oolors literally. It 1 a very pretty child that we see there in the shadow, and sh I wall painted.

It I on of- the mt "'taking' pictures. In. the exhibition. I wish ther were epao-hre i to review th illustrations which Mr. Betts haa mad la this, same style for Charles Eugen Banks' book.

"Child of the Sun," Chicago doea not often produce so good an examploof book making a this and the three-color process prints are so well don that I shall try presently to discuss them, X- RoasVby a River Bank. CharUa Franc Is Browne has painted with a good fat col fuller than usual, a country road- winding along th bank of a river amid trwas-TThough ha works over In Oregon. where are ateep hills and rock cliffs, thg.sfmpl things charm htm most and us. too and he sits down to do Just a bit of road and bank. That'a th tru artistic temperament.

Th picture 1 a llttl gem. tender and.4tll solid, colorful and itlll quiet. Another. Hillside." Is nothing but a steep, simple slop of gray hill dotted with gray treea against -a gray-blue aky. flecked with well-drawn but simple clouds.

Twice I say "simple, "jaad It la th beauty of simplicity-that 1 instated upon and that Mr. Brown has rendered. Two other good pictures of his are her. Ml Freer' portrait ia delicate, and, as usual, aa excellent likeness. Women: Oo not talk th language of art with th sam voice that men us, but -would no mora be happy without auch utterances as these tender words of this lady in the picture gallery than wo would be in th home, and, after all.

this Is a home picture, Mr. Svendsen talks in the vernacular here, though he haa a mere exalted language when telling of the mxaterles of. winter evenings and which fewer people understand. It Is only the advanced art rover who can convers with him la his other dialect. Her he uses plain words very skillfully, telling of a flat country with a road, birch-tree bordered, and a low nn easting long-drawn-out shadows athwart th meadow.

The season Is that of the gayly sad days before winter. Exactly the same phraseology but other words tells the story for either of his seasons. It la perhaps well that he use thl plain language because our homes' welcome It, and, after all ia said, th tender story 1 well told. With all the pleasure which good picture give, it Is a queetionr.wh9th.er art objects, rather than palaUngs," do not mora really meet the demands bf, 'the day.

Hard Ustea Cor the Oceapaai of at Hew YerkHsek. An old "sea-going" hack went clattering up Broadway. On tho box with th driver were three weather-beaten trunk and a larg barrel, stoutly roped. Inside the ancient vehld waa a man who looked like a foreigner, and from on window stuck the legs of a high chair. The driver seemed to be guiding his venerable steed with hi eye shut.

Th hack rocked from sld to aid Ilk a ship in distress, and creaked and groaned ominously. It was the rusty "one-boss come back to earth with four wheels Instead ot two. Every on looked for some mishap, and it cam. At Canal street the earring swerved sharply to the left, and one decrepit wheel caught In th car track. There waa a crash and a scream, and two pantalooned legs suddenly descended to the pavement through a big rent la the bottom of the carriage.

The driver, too absorbed to notlc anything, chirruped to his horses, and th hack went rolling through Canal street at a top speed of five miles an hour, while the two legs tried to keep pace with th rapidly moving wheel. Yells and profane protests and appeals for help In steady stream cam from th windows of th vehicle, but the driver paid no attention to them until he reached Wast Broadway, Then' suddenly descended from th box, crawled trnder-th' carriage, pushed the legs back, want bark to- bis seat, and turned bis horses north.

Mr. Corbin sounded th keynot of th gathering in her annual report, th moat Interesting features of which wer aa follow "We wish to say distinctly that ar not tn th field to bandy personalities nor trivialities with anybody, but for th aimpl purpose of discussing calmly and fairly th relation of women to the state.

It ts a very serious tact that th doctrin of th Industrial aad political quality of women ia an offshoot from that social democracy which uniformly insists that women ahall be units and factors in the state equally with men; that men shall thus absolved from all domestic obllgatlona, the stats caring for such children aa may be born ot the utterly unfettered aad promiscuous relations between th sxt. A to Social DtBteersey, Th Influence of such teachings diffused through society Is felt not only in the loosening of marriage ties and th neglect of homo duties by a larg claaa of our women, but ia our legislative heUa. ia the tendency to overlook the mission of th home, and to lay upon th state auch burdens of support and control as belong primarily and indefeaalbly to the parent, "In monarchical countries social democracy Is the avowed and recognised enemy of th state, but in thla country, where anything that smacks of a larger license haa a voguo with certain classes and where popular sentiment in the end decides everything, it is a mora insidious, and therefor more dangerous, foe. Its tenets destroy the horn at a blow, and the mutual relations between husband and wife, of material dependence on th on hand and of affectionate and spiritual dependence on the other, from which the ripest fro it of civilisation, th ideal of duty, responsibility, purity, and unselfishness flow, are utterly abrogated.
