Mr. Albert Kelsey who lectured on civic art in the city this week, as hitherto reported in The Palladium, is, as stated before, in charge of the municipal improvement section at the St. Louis Exposition with special reference to "the model city," which is to be shown therein. Many cities are contributing directly in the success and scheme of the latter, notably San Francisco which has contributed $00,000 to a building representing that municipality, and their exhibit, Kansas City perhaps, giving the next highest amount toward an adequate representation. Mr. Kelsey has designed all the buildings for this department of the Exposition and has the whole thing under his control. Mr. Kelsey further said anent the possibilities of our river front if it could be called "front" that notAvithstanding the splendid opportunity to develop the river gorge and its environs, we were handicapped by the railroad on one of the banks. This is a point upon which the writer of this column dilated strenuously at the time of the building of this road but was only accorded ridicule for the statement. Along conies a celebrated landscape architect and says the same thing. However it is only with present conditions that the city can cope. The railroad is there and the next step to be taken is to make its immediate environs as little unsightly as possible. i. Mr. Kelsey spoke of several monumental public works in this country which had been undertaken in the name of civic aesthetics, among them a boulevard in Philadelphia from the city buildings to Fairmount Park, $2,000,000 already having been spent in its construction, and $10,000,000 to be the probable financial cost. Mr. Kelsey is, for one of his activities, engaged in the rebuilding of Chatauqua, which he describes as having been "laid out" in a very haphazard manner, and which will assume a much more harmonious aspect under his scheme for its beautification. "The Craftsman" for February is an unusually interesting number and commends itself at first sight by its striking cover design. "The Silversmith's Art," by Jean Schopfer, is a continuation of a very important historical series on this subject and is most attractively illustrated. George Wharton James, writes on "The Influence of the "Mission Style" upon the Civic and Domestic Architecture of Modern California." Mr. James is authority on Americana and in addition to the valuable information which may be obtained on the subject of the California Missions, he has the charm of a pleasing style. "The Adaptation of Ornament to Space." translated from the French by Irene Sargent, throws new light on the subject of ornamentation and while technical in charcater, may be read with interest and profit by the average layman. Isabel Moore in dealing with "A Forgotten Art" gives some illustrations of figureheads, which combine the mueh-to-be-desired-feature of beauty and strength. The second" in the series of "Craftman Houses" for 1004 will attract prospective homebuilders, as will also shorter articles on the treatment of interiors. "Clay Modeling," by C. Valentine Kirby; "Manual Training and the Development of Taste; Chips; Dook and Magazine Reviews," complete a number which will be regarded as one of the best ever put out by this publication. The Craftsman, as

is well known, is published in Syracuse.X. Y. In the interview with Mr. Kelsey published in another issue of this paper, Mr. Kelsey expressed himself as regarding the city fortunate in having control of its shade trees. The writer told Mr. Kelsey that so far this seemed to have been the worst thing that had happened to them, as has finally been generally admitted. Mr. Kelsey said to the writer and also in his lecture that the trees had certainly been badly butchered up. On next Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 17th, one of the most interesting sales which has taken place in New York this season, or indeed for a longer period of time, will occur, namely, that of the theatrical effects of the late Lester Wallack and his famous stock company. The collection will be placed on view Saturday, the 13th, the effects of such well known members of the dramatic world, past and present, as Lester Wallack,. John Gilbert, Harry Edwards, KyrTe Pellew, Rose Coghlan, Dion Poucicault, and several others, to be displayed. Among the objects to be sold are armor, furniture, costumes, vases, playbills, pictures and numerous other "properties" all of which will prove of interest to the general public as well as to actors.

! Miss Cecilia Beaux and Miss Alice Hay whose work is on display at the exhibition of the Women's International Art Club, in the Crafton Galleries, London, have been highly praised by London critics. Miss Beaux has a great reputation in this country as a successful portrait painter. In Xew York next week will occur a sale which will attract much attention, being the collection of paintings of the late J. II. Dolph, some two hundred in number. Mr. Dolph was well known among other things as a j painter of cats. In the autograph exhibition in the Morrisson-Reeves Library last Spring Mr. Dolph 's autograph was on display with a pencil sketch of his "favorite animal."

Indianapolis is, despite its reputa

tion as a center of abounding, not to say resounding culture, a city of .careless materialists, with the excepition of a certain coterie and an occat

sional sporadic instance. Her reputation for bookishness is only skin deep, many of her alleged booklovers acquiring that reputation through the indiscriminate purchase of what are curiously termed "fine" editions with which to stock up their librar

ies. For book's themselves, that is itlie makeup, they en re little and know

less. They will stand all day gazing in rapture at an antique copper pot. which shrieks to heaven with painful modernity and cry "perfectly exquisite, ray dear perfectly exquisite ! ! ! ! !" and never wag an eyelash in the direction of a Kelmscoft two feet away. And these be the people who figure in the press of the capital city as reading profound papers on William Morris and who fall into fine frenzies when "ART" is named. The art of the dressmaker, the tailor, and the caterer is what they really live for, and as for the drama their highest conception is a musical comedy with special attention to the chorus, altUo' their steady diet is vaudeville of the most drooling and assinine character. This, as just stated, is true of Indianapolis in a general way and of many of those who, according to reputation, do the special culture "stunt." There

WHY MOTHERS WORRY Did you ever hear a mother worry over a plump child? There is no better bank of health for a child to draw from than a good . supply of healthy flesh. Scott's Emulsion not only gives a child weight and plumpness, but it feeds the brain, bones and nerves with strength and active power. Fewer mothers would worry if they knew more about Scott's Emulsion. Scott's Emulsion is substituted by cheap emulsions and so-called wines, cordials and extracts of cod-liver oil. They can do you no good and are dear at any price. Why buy them ? Scott's Emulsion has been the one reliable preparation of codliver oil for nearly thirty years. x We'll send you a sample free upon request. SCOTT BOWXE, 409 Iarl Street, New York.

is that choice number of chosen spirits above referred to, and also the sporadic instances, the latter many and delightfulivh-o leaven the whole lump, and make Indianapolis what it is a charming place, and save its population from being a large, uninteresting and most monstrous . fraud. Richmond people visiting Indianpolis should go to the Herron Art Institution which can be easily reached by taking a Pennsylvania street car and riding out to sixteenth street, and indeed, is a charming walk for the ordinary pedestrian, especially as it takes the latter a leisurely way in Pennsylvania street which is the most delightful in Indianapolis, a town of many effective avenues, altho' Meridian is thought by the average citizen of that town to be the apogee of a street. But Meridian smacks of the parvenu and of those who find copper pots "perfectly exquisite, my dear," a cold, inhospitable street. Pennsylvania, however, has a mellow, charming appearance, due, partly it may be to the many beautiful trees, but it has a certain atmosphere of its own. Without being cognizant of tho storm centre of culture in Indianapolis, this column fancies it must located on Xorth Pennsylvania street between the Denison Hotel and the Herron Art Institute. Certainly people should visit the latter as there are some good pictures there and it is also remarkable for what is not found within its walls. A number of originals for cartoons, by Walter Shirlaw, done, I believe, for the Congressional Library and presented by that artist to the Institute, are among the most interesting thing's to be seen therein,; altho' the "piece de resistance" in the way of canvasses, so far, is -without doubt a stunning picture called "The Kiss of the Siren." If one wished to be flippant it might be said that this picture typified the aforementioned resounding culture of Indianapolis. A sort of high class vaudeville, so to speak, on canvas. However there are some good things by Chase and Duveneck and one or two other well known artists Avhich are well worth the seeing, together with several by the Indiana artists which are . always interesting. The local artists, notably the "Richmond Group" have made great strides not only in the quality of their work but in reputation during the past year. Mr. Bundy is a member of a number of well known artists' organizations over the country, notably the Xational Society of Associated Arts and the society of Western Artists; Mr. Girardin was made a member of the Cincinnati Art Club and is also this year exhibiting with the Society of Western Artists; Mr. Forkner is a member of the Xational Society of Associated Arts and of the Society of Chicago Artists; and while Mr. Conner, who has been in very ill health within the past year is not affiliated with any particular artists' organizations aside from the Richmond Art Club, he is still regarded as the most brilliant, take him all in all, of the Group. At present Mr. Bundy is exhibiting with the Society- of Western Artists and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Mr. Girardin with the Society of Western Artists and in special exhibit in Cincinnati. Mr. Forkner with the exhibition of the Society of Chicago Artists; and all, with Mr. Conner will be profusely represented in the Indiana Building at - the World's Fair. Altho' the three resident members of the Group have

been asked to exhibit in the general Fine Arts Section at St. Louis, it has not been definitely decided that they will take advantage of this invitation. Mr. Knuiv and Mr. Forkner have been represented, also, for. the past year or more at the great annual exhibitions in the Chicago Art Institute, namely, the former in the exhibition of oils by American artists and the latter in the Spring exhibit of water colors, as well as in the first exhibition of the members of the Associated Arts. Mr. Girardin, has also exhibited with the Cincinnati Art Club and with a well known art club of Philadelphia, all having been seen at other smaller exhibits. mm In addition to exhibiting they have been made the subject of special articles in Avell known art magazines, notably, the Art Interchange, the whole fine arts section of that periodical having been given over to the exploitation of these artists in an account of their work prepared by the writer of this column, with eleven reproductions of their pictures, two by Mr. Xordj'ke being also included. There also appeared in the July number of the Fine Arts Journal, published in Chicago, an account of these artists in a general exposition of art in this section f rom the pen of the writer. Altogether the Richmond artists have certainly not gone unnoticed. Miss Virginia Keep the gifted young i Indianapolis artist, so well known frT this city, is now in Xew York where she has a charmingly appointed studio shared by her cousin, the daughter of Mr. Cornelius Bliss. Miss Keep is well known as an illustrator and portraitist and is meeting with great success in Xew York a number of well known society women having sat for their portraits which are done with the pencil and not the brush. Miss Helen e Ilibben, whose admirable work in portrait modeling has been commented upon here, is to join Miss Keep later.
