1* puts h.o soul in picture Japane3e Artlot Gets Spirit in Work That It May Be Given Again to Beholder. The safety of the nation seems to be fairlv well taken care of. but if [ then* is one tiling more than another ' which needs a master's care, that one thing is art. especially futurist art. America has not quite derided about ( futurist art. We are never sure whether a thing is good until we know what wo are supposed to iliink of it. The newspapers have ridiculed the futurist art and common people have dared laugh at it. Frankly, of course, Americans prefer good plain pictures that don't even require the catalogue for identification, hut one is inclined to think that in art as in poetry there must be soul in olw seurity because we cannot see iU If it were possible we might transplant Japanese art. The something besides itself in a Japanese piiture is really visible, and soul helps sense as much as sense helps soul. Japanese art, however, grew from the old artnf ( liinese wrilirg. The Chinese believed that written characters lived, and not only spelled words, hut e\pn- r l various sentiments in themselves. The Japanese artist er? iiius H living imiiy. in1 puis nis spirit into his painting so that, it may ho given again to lh? beholder. If he accepts money for his paintings they lose their ?onl. .lapanoso art is, therefore, impossible to America. An art that grew from onr writing would he worse than futurist. If our agists were not paid f<?r their pictures we should have no artists. Perhaps the lust we can do. if we must get awav from our own common sen^e plain pictures, is to take up something along the futur- j ist line. We may not enjoy it and it may spoil the wall paper, hut it may be the proper thing after all. POETIC REALISM ? -I "Yes; I have pictured my sweetheart in my verses." "Oh! does she limp?" EVENING OF CHANGES. Turned into a wake and afterwards into the celebration of a birth a wedding feast near Tralee, Country Kerry, Ireland, had a peeuliai outcome.
