At the Art museum on Fifth and Tay
lor streets an exhibition of paintings la
now open which all lovers of good art
hould sea We are Voo tax away from
.the. great galleries of the old world to
' have many opportunities of studying
. tha work of the old masters; we are too
remote from the art centers of our
own country to keep In close touch
with "the work which the living artists
of America are doing.
These are the things we should want
to see If we went from home, and when
-the opportunity is brought directly to
our doors it affords an educational op
portunity which we cannot afford to
oveelook. There is a good showing of
the older work, and while these n:imcs
are not so familiar to most of us as
those of a later d.Uo, there Is much
that Is interesting in these examples.
George Morland. Sir William Hc'-liv
and George Henry Harlow of the Eng
lish school, Philip Wouverman and Jan
van Goyen of the Dutch, and Pierre
Mlgnard of the French school are repre
sented here. The portraiture always
attracts attention and there are three
portraits of especial Interest.
Mlgnard Followed Its Brun.
That of Duchesse de Burgogne, by
Pierre Mlgnard, which 1b here repro
duced, is one of these. Mlgnard was
a French portrait painter who succeed
ed to the honors and emoluments of Le
Brun. The portrait as a whole is In
admirable color and if we cavil at the
complexion which the ducheHse wore
when she was having her portrait paint
ed we must remember that it probably
was an equally serious question to the
artist but what would you have? So
the duchesse wore it. '
If one has scruples as to the duchesse.
however, no such thought arises In con
nection with the portrait of Admiral
Vorka, by George Henry Hurlow, ft
painter who died before reaching full
maturity. I
A more brilliant piece of work than
this portrait it would be difficult to
Imagine and this has no reference to
the admiral's scarlet uniform. The face
holds you; the whole figure stands so
well within its bounds, yet so apart
from 'its background, the flesh is so
real, the whole character of the man so
admirably revealan it is truly a re
markable portrait.
Canvas by Leon Dabo.
The old paintings, admirable as they
are, .are not all of the exhibit The
later works, by living Americans, are
too Interesting for the past to hold us
long. The first thing to catch the eye
as the visitor steps to the door, is that
sunlit cloud, hovering In the air. It Is
a small canvas by Leon .Dabo, and one
that holds you.
Leon Dabo has been but recently
recognized after long years of rejec
tions. "He is not academic," said the
critics. Well, neither vis the whole
great, llvlntr, breathing out-of-doors
academic. Portland is honored as be-

Mrs. John Van Vorst, In Saturday Eve
nlnsr Post.
Not long ago, having published in these
same pages certain reflections regard-
ma me insinuaiinr sentiment nf nv
and Its manifestations In the feminine
heart. I received from a vuuni lrl In

She read the letter, and. with a llttU
snrug of the shoulders, exc aimed:
"Why. it la perfectly evident."
"What?" I queried.
"Why, the reason this Kansas rlrl

"Well, what?"
"Why, her features are too regular!"

with a smile:
'Her nose Is a little crooked and von

This, of oourse, does not Imply that all
young women matrimonially inclined
hould affect some pecullarltv of im

means that, above and beyond perfect
regularity of feature and harmonv of

way, by the name of charm, but those

Though Cleopatra's stnr-llke eyes and

was said of her:

"Shocking!" Said Polly.
From Correspondence London Spectator.
A few weeks ago a servant was en
gaged polishing brasswork near Polly's
caxe. and the bird immediately started
talking to hor.
"Hullo. Polly! What do you want?
What's the matter with you? Are you
quite , well? Do , you fee! cold Where

Eliciting no reply, she shouted out:
"Why don't you talk?" and drew the re

too busy. Polly."
Polly replied: "How shocking!"

FOR COAL OR WOOD.
BIGGEST STEEL RANGE BARGAIN
IN PORTLAND TODAY.
A HANDSOME, thoroughly reliable
and "up-to-date" range. Has the same
features viz.: Large Oven and Good
Firebox, which distinguish Stewart
Ranges from all others. A most com
pact range, simply but attractive in de
sign and guaranteed perfect in fitting
and operation. .
THE BODY of range and high closet is
of the best Wellsville' polished steel, the
only perfect material for this purpose
as it requires no blacking and is not af
fected by heat.
THE FLUES are lined with heavy as
bestos board which prevents loss of heat
and means economy in fuel.
THE OVEN is its best feature and has
received particular attention. We have,
after careful tests, demonstrated that our
Center Seam oven is the tighest, most
rigid and the most durable steel oven
which can be made.
THE FIREBOX is next in importance
to the oven and has also received special
attention. Linings are of cast iron, sec
tional and very heavy. The grate is du-,
plex. reversible for wood burning and of
an improved construction, very simple
and cannot clog or get out of order. All
parts of firebox can be reached by poker
through the front cleaning door, an im
provement over other makes.
A complete double system of check
and draft dampers give perfect control
of the fire at all times.
