...paintings. Grandfather Butler spent 40 years tracking down his favorite painting for the collection: Winslow Homer's Snap the Whip (TIME, Aug. 23, 1954). The Butler Institute today has 635 oils, 500 prints, 365 watercolors and drawings, including top works by John Singleton Copley, James Peale, William Harnett, Thomas Eakins and Albert Ryder-far more than enough to fill the two-story museum's nine galleries...
...doesn't look as though the CCA will control the Council," Thomas J. Harnett, Cambridge Election Commissioner said last night. "They may get Mrs. Wheeler in, but they need five seats for control," he added...
Much more serious, but less striking than Ratte's and Cumming's sketches, is Mary Meade Harnett's portrayal of the plight of a maiden lady who feels that her life has been sacrificed to the whims of her relatives. Mis Harnett makes her story especially complex by introducing another spinster's sickly cousin.

Peto (1854-1907), the exhibition shows that U.S. artists in the past scored higher in imagination and craftsmanship than a forgetful country realized...
...contrast with Buechler, Mary Harnett's story of a plantation lady's spiritual decadence is well conceived, but not always well narrated. Although her medium (the pianist who is afraid to call back old memories by playing her piano) would seem hackneyed, it somehow comes out highly original. Originality, however, when carried too far, is only once removed from mere oddity, and Miss Harnett's descriptions sometimes step over the fine line that separates them. "An Empty Salon" is a fairly good portrayal of the struggle for courage to live, but I suspect it was given top billing more...
