...diction. Like all large generalizations, it is too much simplified, and some pertinent questions might well be asked. What would Titian, Hals, Vermeer, Velasquez- colorists extraordinary-have said to the charge that color was only an incident to their art? Probably they would have replied in words not dissimilar to those of Ingres, when a visitor to his studio asked: " Does M. Ingres, the celebrated draughtsman, live here...

...political situation in Germany continues to be fraught with peril. A putsch, not dissimilar from the Kapp Putsch of 1920, is an imminent possibility. The object of such a movement would be primarily to prevent the country falling into the hands of Communists, who have been engineering a plot to seize the Government for some time.

...prose the number stands redeemed from commonplace by two mystical allegories of Paulding--not sufficiently dissimilar for one number--and Dos Pasasas's "Orientale," a clever, and entertaining story. Angels, however, is a singularly unsophisticated widow. Whittlesey in "The Old Order Changeth," seems an echo from last year, simply human and realistic--not of the order of The Smart Set.
