Famous Paintings It seems fitting that at Krister time one's thoughts should turn to the art galleries which contain the famous paintings portraying the crucifixion and resurrection of our Savior. For generations most of them have hung upon the walls of museums of Europe and have heen an inspiration not only to lovers of art, hut to all Christians as well who have studied and admired .the conception of the artist and the manner In which that conception has been portrayed on the canvas. RUBENS. One of tho world's most noted paintings si. owing Christ on the Cross Is by Peter Paul Hubens. It has but the one llgure the dying Christ, hanging on the cross. The background Is dark, the sky being almost blrtck, which brings out more fully the real beauty and richness of the work. The head of Christ has fallen against the right arm and n peaceful expression Is on the face, showing that the agony lias passed. The body lias sagged and the muscles of the arms are prominent. Blood trickles from the nail botes In the hands r.nd feet, while that from the wound in the side has dripped on the loin cloth, which Is draped In graceful fashion. The figure Is well drawn, being a perfectly natural form of . a tall slender man of the age of Christ at the time of His crucifixion. Hubens painted many pictures the Christ, but this one Is by far the most striking and beautiful. He was the chief master of the Flemish school of painting, and was one of the most versatile artists of nil times. lieginning the study of art early In life he worked under many famous painters, particularly In Venice and Home. Ho was a man of scholarly attainments, speaking six languages, and wr.s Intimately acquainted with nearly every ruler in Europe, the majority of whom pave him commissions for pictures. He died at Antwerp In 1010. DURER. Another great canvas showing Christ on the Cross is the work of Albrecht Durer, and like the one of Hubens shows only the figure of the Savior. Tho background is an almost Inky cloud with, tho fading sunset sky near one foot of the cross, and n few trees standing in the foreground. The llgure Is stretched on the cress and there is no wound iu the side, the only bleed showing being a few drops on the right hand. The body has sagged slightly and the loin cloth Hutters In the wind. The crown of thorns Is pressed down on the head, the sweet sad face Is upraised, the eyes are turned toward heaven In the ageny, and th; mouth slightly opened as if He were in the act of speaking. The real beauty of fully in

the canvas Is in the face of Christ, and It has never been .excelled in its sweet, spirituelle portrayal. The painting hangs in the National gallery at Dresden. Durer was born at Nuremburg in 1471. At an early age he displayed great talent In drawing arid In 14S3 his father apprenticed him to the great painter Wohlgemuth, with whom he studied several years. Later he studied in Venice and traveled to all the art centers, where he made friends with the most noted- men of bis time, being particularly friendly with Martin Luther. His coloring is faultless and the faces, especially in his religious pictures, are regarded as almost sublime In their dignity. He was a man of great piety and In sympathy with the reformation movement. He died In l."28. FRA ANGCLICO DA FIESOLE. Still another Christ on the Cross stands out In the art world that canvas by Fra Angelico da Flesole, a circular picture, which hangs In ihc Academy at Florence. His Christ on the Cross is considered by art connoisseurs as one of his best. It contains three figures, tho Christ on the Cross, the Virgin, and

Christ, wearing the crown of thorns, hangs on the cross, His head surrounded by a curious fan-shaped golden halo with three red stripes. The face shows sadness and is well drawn. The picture is rich in color, the background being a blue sky of the most vivid shade. The blood on the hands, side and feet which trickles down In three straight streams is a brilliant red, forming a strong contrast to the sky. MURILLO. Ecce Homo (Heboid the Man), by Murillo, Is regarded by many as the most lK?autiful painting of Christ In existence. This artist Is noted for the sweetness of his faces, always with a touch of sadness, and In this he has excelled himself, for the whole makeup of the picture: is sublime. A simple head of the Christ wearing

the crown of thorns. The clear cut nose, delicate mouth and lowered eyes portray a pathos and spirituality rarely found on canvas. The background is dark brown, while the robe is a rich red. The painting hangs in tho Prado gallery at Madrid. Murillo was born in Seville in 1T17, and although a poor boy became the chief master of' the School .of Seville. His early life was a struggle and It was not until after he married a lady of wealth that he was able to carry out his work to perfection. He painted many religious pictures, especially madonnas and scenes of the crucifixion. He died in 1CS2. SOLARIO. Ecce Homo (Heboid the Man) by Andrea Solarlo, presents an entirely different conception of Christ. A bleeding head crowned with thorns Is against a black background. The red robe has fallen from one shoulder, leaving the arm and part of the chest nude. The hands are tied together, one holding a long thin pointed stick. The face is almost stern with Its tightly drawn mouth. The eyes are lowered and there Is a tear drop falling from the left one. Indeed so remarkable Is this painted tear drop

that people stand fascinated before the picture, some of them declaring it is a real tear. 'The face shows the Man In deep thought. The picture is In the gallery at Milan and is by far the most striking of the entire collection. Andrea Solario, who is responsible for the work, was a painter of Milan, born in 14G0. He studied in Venice for a time and on his return to Milan fell under the influence of Leonardo da Vinci and was sent by the latter to complete some of the former's work for Cardinal d'Amboise. His work was so like that of da Vinci, both in drawing and coloring, that it Is sometimes difficult to tell It apart. Ecce Homo, his masterpiece, was painted in 1515, shortly before his death. 2 OLD BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER Deep. Rooted Ideas That Have Been Current From the Earliest Days of the Celebration. There is an old weather supersti tlon to the effect that If the sun shines on Easter it will s?hine on Whitsun day If you bathe with cold water cn Easter day, you will keep well all the year. There is another ofd superstition about eggs, and that Is to rub over the face an egg that has been colored for Easter to have a nice complexion TV cry on Easter is a sign you will cry the following Sunday, too. It Is bad luck to keep Easter eg They should be destroyed. If a rabbit runs acro your path on Easter Sunday It is a good luck sign. For the lovelorn, there is a warnin that one should not get engaged on Easter Sunday, else the engagement will be broken. "Give a man a red egg at Easter to secure his love." is an old gypsy amendment. 9 nod crraru?-

IN SUMMER SILKS

Fabric Likely to Show Patterned and Brocaded Styles. Much cf the Material is Wcven in America, Cut French Ideas 'Influence Styles. Mtit of the silks you and I wear in summer time, observes a fashion writer, are woven right here In America and Indeed no French looms produce more beautiful fabrics than some of the American silks. Hut French silk patterns Influence world styles to a great extent and because the newsilks in Paris are mostly patterned idllrs, the summer silks of America this year are likely to show patterned or brocaded designs. If there Is not a decided pattern, the silk weave Is likely to give a contrast of light and shade that makes a fort of pattern of its own. Paris always gives fanciful names t ) new fabrics and .some of the names not all get to this country. Some do not because they are too hard to pronounce. Anybody can say crepe de chine and peau de sole now, and some tongue; can even curl around drap de solle and faille which is quite different In sound from the wajxlt looks. Put how about Ebloulssante," a newglace silk just now the rage in Paris, or "Damas Mauresque," a handsome brocade in metal and colored threads? We shall all be getting these names olf as glibly as peau de cygne. perhaps, by another season. Isis crepes have Egyptian and Persian pattern designs in color on a soft, neutral crepe ground, and almost all tho new Paris crepes and chiffons have Syrian, Persian or Egyptian patterns. Sometimes the pattern is so closely spaced as to give a blurred, shadowy effect. Sometimes the design is quite distinct, as for instance black chiffon printed in small bright-colored patterns. Shall we be wearing foulards next August? Most women want to knowthat. There are a few foulards among the new Paris silks,, and they have geometric patterns. One navy blue foulard has irregular checks In white and a zigzag over-line In scarlet. Shantungs will be very smart and mrny of them have big, splashing patterns in color the very brightest colors SEEN AT THE FASHION SHOW Wimm y 1 i-y Mmmm :$':..trx$...

Milady's Choice of Colors

No One Shade More Artistic Than Another; Combinations the Secret of Beauty. Color has a tendency to rellect Its complement. No one color Is more artistic than another; but It Is in the combination of colors that beauty Hes. The woman who dresses becomingly Avoids strong contrasts. She also chooses the shades that .bring out the best factors of her makcrup and subdue those which are not good. The fat woman who wishes to conceal unattractive Jjnes resorts to neutral hues.

THE CHOKER-COLLAR IS BACK Modes cf This New Accessory Are Many and Each of Them Is Very Becoming. If you do not already have a high collar in your winter wardrobe you had better put one there, for Paris and America are being swept off their feet by the vogue for the "chokerccllar." To be sure, there are no whalebones to make it stiff and uncomfortable, but the tightness and the height are there just the same. The modes of this new collar are many, and each of them is very be coming. There are mannish collars with perky bow ties, high fur collars In "soup-bowl" effect, collars topped with monkey fur', and many, many others. One fashionable designer achieves a very smart effect by using a wide black velvet ribbon above a white- satin afternoon frock. The ribbon is caught at the back of the neck by a single rose and then allowed to fall almost to the hem of the frock. Spring Fashions. Plaited skirts are a feature of many youthful spring suits not straight plaited, but group or cluster plaited. Princess lines for dresses still persist and are noted on dressvs for both stieet and house wear. The use of two fabrics in combination for dresses and for suits is now quite a definite feature of spring fashions. Even lingerie frocks are affected by this style trend. hair, but in choosing .browns sue should keep to the deep, dark shades Sallow blondes may wear cream white soft gray with dark reds, and yellows with creamy lace and rich tones of gi ay combined with burnt orange or ecru.

Hair lace is l;eing used for many dress hats this season. t m . a numuer or elective evening gowns are made entirely of wide rib bon tills season. Ginghams are also much worn in the South,, even bathing suits being j made of gingham. Chocolate is a shade emphasized by reports from the South, even sweaters being popular in this shade. Yellow Is one of the most popular colors for lingerie, a note the Easter bride will do well to remember. French figured sateens and English prints are among the summer dress materials noted at Southern resorts. Silk sweater dresses and sweater dresses of wool and silk or wool combined are a development of considera ble importance. The directoire, with Its raised waist line, is the newest silhouette offered, although the wide skirt, .with tightly fitted bodice, has gained In favor, par tkuk:r!v for thj yu'ivgcr e'-irf.
